TAG booting up. Please wait...

Hello everyone.

I've decided to reboot TAG a little earlier than Cataclysm. However, I'm not picking up the reins right away. I'd like to play, have fun, explore, and organize my junk pile (and by "organize" I mean "sell it all" (and by "all" I mean "everything, even my collections")).

Therefore, I am in the process of booting up TAG. Like any good computer, there are system checks, files to organize, inventory, and capability assessment. This process has no set date for completion; however, it should not take more than a few weeks.

Once the guild is online, I will host an opening event. Nothing complicated. It's time to keep it simple.

So, see you online, or in whispers, and fly safe. o/

TAG downs Nefarion!

Nefarion Defeated!Nefarion Defeated! Following a series of branded hands, TAG stepped into Blackwing Lair for a series of showdowns that resulted in far more deaths than expected. It's amazing how many encounters continue to challenge level 80 characters from the Classic raid compendium.

Regardless, TAG emerged victorious, and earned the privilage of hanging Nefarion's head in Stormwind that day. Congrats to all involved, and thank you all for coming! It was a lot of fun!

Requests were made to face the black dragonflight again, so we will return to their lair next week. I hope to see you all there!

When do you usually play?

I have two questions bouncing around in my brain. I've managed to get the two of them down on "paper" in the form of this questionnaire. If you would, please take a moment to "rate" each day of the week, and give me confidence in what time you generally play.

This questionnaire is here to make sure that our schedule is currently meeting your needs, and identify if any change needs to happen to significantly improve support for when you do play. I can't make any promises, but knowledge is power.

Onyxia Defeat 25-manOnyxia Defeat 25-man A very proud Congratulations to all that attended last night's raid that ultimately defeated Onyxia in 25-man format! Fantastic work everyone! We didn't expect to host a 25-man, but gave it a shot and won!

The final attempt was a nail-biting 12-man with fear, after fear, after fear. Nice work everyone!

That being said: Happy Birthday everyone! On a whim I checked /guildinfo and realized that today was our 2nd birthday!
