The Pelvic Thrust

UPDATE: The server maintenance has been pushed back by two hours (to 1pm PST), which means we can expect to see them back up at 8am AEST.


UPDATE 2: Pushed back to 5pm PST, which is midday AEST for us.


This is the way the world ends: Not with a bang, but with a COLOSSAL EFFING DRAGON!

The old world is now gone for good, the next time you log in you should be greeted with Deathwing wrecking up the place. Take THAT Stormwind!


My first reaction was to post here accompanied by REM's It's The End Of The World... but I like to be a little more off-beat than that. Then this happened:

Some people have been asking about the gap in time lore-wise; from old Azeroth to new in an instant. Bashiok, a community manager for Blizzard, responded to one such question thusly:

Bashiok: "It's just a jump to the left."

Despite the players complaining about just how helpful such a response is, I'm of the tinfoil-hat-esque belief that this is a heavily veiled hint regarding Cataclysm. 

Yes, I am now convinced that this expansion somehow inextricably connected to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I'm sure that over the coming months we'll discover exactly how they're connected. All we know so far is that Bashiok appears to be playing the Criminologist, but for now we can only theorise. 

See you in the new world!

Call to Arms: MTC Volunteers

When the Cataclysm hits, we'll be looking at restoring MTC Monday to it's former glory (new member profile every Monday). However, in order to do so we need volunteers!

Heres what we need:

• Character name
• Preferred title (optional)
• RL Age and Location (optional)
• Your likes and dislikes
• Your most epic moment (optional)
• Some details about yourself or your character

Heres what you get:

• An MTC profile page
• Your own WoW TCG-style card
• Bragging rights
• The ability to guilt Ahzae into doing things for you ("Aw c'mon dude, I did that MTC thing you wanted...")
• About a billion bonus points if you're not a Tauren

Anyone can apply for an MTC profile, even if you're not a member of Harms Way. In fact, even members of the Alliance can apply! As long as you have some sort of vague connection to us (even if you just share our philosophy) then it's good enough to be considered.

Finally, your profile will not be posted here before it's approved by you. If you don't like what you see then it won't go up!

If you're interested, mail me in-game or at tobiasmasters@gmail.com.

"...mais moi j'ai envie d'sauter!"

This is exactly what you (yes, you) are going to be experiencing during the first few days of Cataclysms launch:

Granted, we'll all be like that during the launch (that's pretty much my default state, new expansion or no) so don't fret. After the first 32 hours we'll all be the exact same grease-covered stank-zombies, peering at people through our bloodshot eyes and groaning loudly.

Yessir, it's a good time to be a power-nerd right now :D

Even More Flash!

Ah, now we're gettin' places!


Here's what I've been working on all night. It should give you an idea of what our cata raid guides will look like.

Cataclysm Raid Flash

Hooray! More flash!

I know I've been neglecting you all online lately, so I'll make this a quick post to avoid feeling guilty (HA!).

Here's a quick peek at the (almost) complete version of our new Raid Progress tracker:

Let me know if you have any suggestions :D
