The Ardent Guard

TAG booting up. Please wait...

Posted Wed, 07/21/2010 - 6:22am by Ardentwulf

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!

Posted Thu, 03/04/2010 - 8:43am by Ardentwulf

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!

Lord Marrowgar Defeated

10-man Lord of Marrowgar defeat Grats to the 10-man team that took down Lord Marrowgar. This was actually our second kill, but the first was not a 100% TAG raid. This marked the first official kill.

When do you usually play?

Posted Fri, 12/18/2009 - 8:31am by Ardentwulf

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.

The General Gets Demoted!!!
After a handful of meetings with General Vezax, we scored our first kill last night with only one pull.

Work has already started on Yogg-Saron. If you haven't studied that fight - start early! It's a doozy.

TAG defeats 25-man Onyxia and turns 2!!

Onyxia 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!

10-man Ignis DefeatI'd like to extend a very big Congratulations to the raid team that defeated Ignis last night! Great work!

I'd also like everyone to stop and extend a Thank You to all of the raiders that helped test, attempt, re-test, and hone our strategies down to the one we ultimately used to defeat this giant pain-in-the-rear.

Nice job everyone!
