Welcome to Still Alive's Blog site!

/welcome and /wave to all newcomers and visitors!
This Blog has been created to provide an out-of-game point of comunication for all Guild members.

We started out with just a small group of 8 or so members in late 2007. We now number approximately 20 regular players.

We strive to take the 'Family' approach to World of Warcraft. All polite and friendly players are warmly welcomed.
That said, we don't shy away from the full set of Raids that  Northrend has to offer either. We're here to show that End of Game Content doesn't have to meen "Hard Core Raiding" ;)

We're now working on Ulduar and Eye of Eternity, and regularly raiding Naxxramas.

DIRE MAUL - Last Minute scheduled run...

We'll be doing a run through Dire Maul tonight at 7:30 (GMT) for Thephil's Epic mount. Currently we have Thephil (obviously) and Vetenari in on the run. I (Knems/Obsidanse) am happy to run this as tank/healer, but if there are people who would particularly like to do this I'm happy to stand down for a third member.
Remember, we start at 7:30 folks, so be ready! Summoning stone not an option sadly :(

Achindoun - Mana Tombs Run....





We started out with Obsidanse, Sugarpuffs, Vetenari, Trulsan & Anylrama.
Once we'd got our footing and wiped a couple of times we had a good thing going. Trulsan Mind controls the one we want dead, then we either finish him off if he breaks free from it or move on to target two once he's killed.
A few problems with Obsidanse keeping Agro, and often the stray MOB was taking chucks out of Vetenari and Sugarpuffs, occasional sacrifices were made and we had to ressurect fallen comrades, but we got through with little trouble for most of the second half of the Dungeon :)
Boss 2 gave us no issues at all!
Then...the Nexus Prince..
We wiped something like 6 times I'd say. Not much more than a quarter of his life removed each time.
Vetenari came up with the idea of mind controlling one of the small minions next to the Boss, but Obsidanse dismissed this idea....possibly to the undoing of the group. It was never attempted....
After a short while, Obsidanse left to allow Suddrik in on the effort, followed by Vetenari (who , being the only guy who could summon us back, haddent returned for a mend and was enduring seriously bad armour loss) replaced with Kurtsteiner.
Not even then could we squash this rather irritating Royal hanger-on.
"It was....Entertaining!"......Hardly!
I say Mana Tombs again next week! And we don't quit tilll he's dead!
Vetenari, we'll give that Mind Control a go...can't hurt ;)

Weekly Dungeon Run





As it's Thephil's Birthday this Friday (technically yesterday, see below) a fair chunk of the Guild are away this week. But from Monday morning till Thursday night, we'll have a quick vote on which Dungeon to run, and we'll meet at the ussual 8'oclock by the meeting stone on the Friday.
We'll have a choice of some from Azeroth, some from Outland!
Until then!....

From behind enemy lines...





We've got it made us guys. Back when I was just a little level Hunter, in Mulgore, It took me no work at all to see the sites of Azeroth!
Did you know, with just a short dash across the Barrens, you can go see your Orcish brothers? And with absolutely no effort at all, you can catch one of those Goblin Zeppelin-things strait to Undercity! Not only that, they've got some gadget the Blood elved put in there. It puts you right in the centre of Silvermoon City!
You poor old Alliance guys (especially the humans) are pretty much cut off from your mates for at least the first 20 levels! Unless you can find some hapless individual to guard you all the way through the Wetlands to or from your Menethil Harbour place.
Boats, who'd have 'em?
That said, I'm just a simple level 20 Hunter. I do my thing in the Barrens with my faithfull Cat ,Jeff (did you snigger? He'll scratch your eyes out!) The last thing I need is some level 40 Orc of same class challenging me to Duels every 5 minutes!
I can't help looking tough, now can I?
