Riding Without Stabilisers!

So - this happened about an hour ago:

(This happened after a fairly long talk in Vent, not just out of the blue so not as much panic as you would assume!)

Our GM had been raiding elsewhere on an alt and when not raiding offline doing RL things, so felt it wasn't fair for him to keep the guild lead when he's not around if anything does go wrong.

As the most active officer, I've been pretty much minding shop for a while anyway (and had previously been in a similar situation with The Wanderers) so didn't mind taking over the leadership.

So I've had my practice run (rad: with stabilisers) and now its time to really run the guild and make sure it works (read: riding without stabilisers!).

A fairly frightening prospect even if essentially nothing has changed but my guild rank!

Now I need to make sure I'm fully switched on and operating for the good of my guild and my guidlies as opposed to just faffing along with it all.

Whilst I am aware that 2014 is The Year of Faff, I feel that I need to be at least partially aware of things that I could ignore or let slide before, like recruitment drives, guild making efforts etc etc.

First point of business - reducing the amount of guild repairs that everyone (even non-raiders) have as they are very high and guild bank reserves are very low!

We shall see how things go from here ^^

New Year Resolutions are Hard!

So yeah, I may have slightly forgotten about the blog posting!

In my defence I'm a bit ill at the moment so haven't been at the computer much :)

In other news, my RaF characters are still levelling, along with a pair of monks for fast XP! I now have a level 51 Druid levelled purely by granted levels so far, not sure how high she will end up going ^^

Yes, still in starter gear! :D

As we can no longer see our RaF links on the website, I'm not entirely sure when my account link runs out so am racing against time to level my alts as fast as I can ^^

Other than that, have levelled Inscription on my Warlock to give her something useful to do, and am just generally faffing about atm :)

Happy 2014!

I have started as I have said I would - with cleaning my PC!

I'm yet to clean the d3esk around it as you can see by this pic, but the PC is running quieter and all should be well :)

Tis a monster of a PC but it has served me well ^^

I have also started yet another pair of RaF characters (that makes four pairs currently) but with the intention of speed levelling an Alliance Druid via Grant a Level, and seems as though I've partially done this already with an Alliance Hunter, I need to level another pair to get some more granted levels before the linked accounts expire!

I have also started levelling a char on Doomhammer with @MrandMrsWow's Guild The Tweeters! She's only level 20 odd at the moment, and as per usual I have gotten myself sidetracked, but I shall return there eventually!

I have also made myself a US account while everything was on sale, so if anyone has any server/guild recommendations send them my way!

Happy Holidays :)

Christmas Shiny!

We interrupt this blogging silence to bring you news of an early Christmas present!

My lovely friends Siorai and Landerolin got me a pet for Christmas!

He is very shiny and I love him :>

Here is my priest busy levelling to try and reach 90 so she can be more useful to the Friday fun runs! She is currently 87 (so one level higher than last weeks!) and I hope to try and get her to 88 before tonight's run.

Also, the Enchanted Fey Dragon has the best facial expression:

Catchup and Shinies!

So I have 2 sets of RaF characters levelling away on Draenor, one on each faction at the moment.

Just really enjoying the questing again, even if on multiple classes I already have ^^

The highest ones at 41 currently are these pair:

Balance Druid and Elemental Shaman! I quest away on the Shammie with the Druid on follow, tabbing between accounts to accept and hand in quests when necessary! Brings a whole new element to the game ^^

Then the Alliance alts are these pair:

A Protection Paladin and a Frost Mage! (And yes I'm aware my choice of names is highly unoriginal ^^)

They are only at level 10 so far but are getting some levelling love today!

Also I finally got around to buying my Alterac Pup and Enchanted Fey Dragon mount!

All is good so will check in again soon :)

Countdown to Winter's Vale

I has returned (sort of!)

The countdown to the Feast of Winter Vale (or Christmas if you want to be literal) has begun!

You will notice I have added a Christmas Countdown to my blog! This is my favourite time of year and I like to try and pull out all the stops to make sure my family has the best Christmas possible - something that becomes increasingly frustrating on a budget!

I have also found my in game mojo again!

My paladin is now level 90, meaning I at last have every class at 90! She is doing a fair job of learning to tank properly and is coming along nicely.

I have also caved and sent myself another Recruit-a-Friend request, so am busy levelling a pair of characters with all the appropriate XP boosts. I have chosen to level a second Shaman and another Druid, both ranged DPS :) I felt I couldn't pass up the chance once I saw the sale price for WoW - once I get around to putting some more game time on the new account I can get my shiny new mount!

Now I just need to decide which one and try not to send myself more recruit a friend requests!
