July 2012: Summer, end of xpac, storms, diablos, mists

June and July have seen, as usual, the downturn in online presence that summer always brings and this year it is compounded by the beta for the near releasing Mists, the released-and-long-awaited Diablo III, brutal storms that have decimated the Eastern region with power outages, and of course, the pull of family fun during the sun!

Yet, we have seen a larger than usual online presence, and we have seen the downfall of Ragnaros and Madness of Deathwing.

Our goal was to see those people presently raiding downing Rag and DW before the release of Mists - and this has been achieved!

There has been a steady influx of new people into the guild and despite the summer usual downturn, we have a strong enough presence - storms aside - to continue raiding and having fun.

Several people are "wrapping up" or "working on" different things and can be found online very regularly. Others are on more sparsely and are suitably enjoying family and summer fun.

We are looking forward to seeing the new end game in Mists later this year and getting into the groove of exploring the new content and raids. Blizzard has re-designed the end game so that there is more to do at level 90 than there ever was before at 85, 80, 70, or even 60.

Good times, now and ahead!
