We were 6 people doing the raid, and let me tell ya, we kicked some harpie asses :)
After about 1 hour and 15 minuttes and a little help from a few guildies wireing in money to the "Bank of Darkild" we got enough money for the tabbard design.

We made a poll on the website for which design to choose, and the voting was overwhelming, it was nice to see the guild showing interest on our good looks :)

Anyways to sum it up, we got the money, we got the design, we got the tabbard, we look great.....now where the hell is the beer :)

Cheers mates :)

We are raiding the Harpies in Charred Vale, we will meet up in sunrock retreat at 20:00 tonight.

We will only be focusing on money and not XP.

Theese are the rules for the raid, if you screw us you will be kicked from the Guild and forever marked as IDIOT.
All loot gained on tonights raid is to be sold and profit is to be given to Darkild(that’s me). He is the Guild leader and need the money to buy the guild tabbard design, which we all so eagerly desire.
Any items you may want for your character, you can keep as long as you sell the items you are replacing.
The raid is completely voluntary.

For now, I know the following people are joining tonight:
Kabumski
Brivida (Zombie4eveR)
Nostrarasmus
Heardstone
Darkild

That's a full group of 5 peeps, not much, but the rest of the guild doesn't seem at all interrested in helping out or viewing the website. This leads me to say again, if you know someone whom you think is cool and want to have in the guild, let me know.

If you want to join in on the raid, speak up in guild speak tonight.

Realm population imbalance has resulted in players on a number of realms experiencing login queues, while other realms have lower-than-average populations. Character migrations are now being offered in North America, and after localization testing is complete, we will offer the same service to our European community shortly.

Please be aware that while these character migrations are optional, each realm selected for migration will have only one designated realm to which characters will be moved. Once character migrations are ready for deployment, we will announce a rollout schedule for the migrations to take place.

Almost one month after its European launch, World of Warcraft is dominating the No. 1 spot of PC games sales charts across Europe. Not only did World of Warcraft manage to become the biggest MMORPG in Europe on its first day, the game now also claims the top spot in overall PC game sales charts in more than 10 countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. Meanwhile, the growth of the game’s European community shows no signs of stopping and we would like to thank you for joining us in Azeroth.

From http://www.wow-europe.com/en/
To make good our promise to the European community that we would provide them with the best playing experience possible, we are extending our existing data centre in Frankfurt to accommodate the growing number of European players.

We are also expanding our staff to ensure that all the players can enjoy an unparalleled level of customer support. If you want to be part of Blizzard Europe, then take a look at our job opportunities and send us your resume and cover letter today. http://www.blizzard.co.uk/jobopp/

Once again, we would like to thank you, the players, for making World of Warcraft a truly global success. You’ve more than supported our belief that the online gaming market in Europe is thriving and growing.

May our paths cross in Azeroth.

The first month of World of Warcraft will soon be over for the players who registered during or shortly after the European launch on February 11. We’re happy to inform players who registered their account during February that as a thank you for joining us during our successful launch period, and to balance the fact that our first month was a short one, an additional 3 days extra playing time will be added to their account prior to the start of billing. So for those players who registered their account on 11th February, the billing process will begin on Monday, 14th March.

Please note that the subscription period is measured in months, not in increments of 30 days. If you register your account on the 31st of a month you will be charged on the last day of the month payment is due. Pre-paid cards, however, will add exactly 60 days to your account.

To avoid unexpected account closures, we urge all players to go now to their account management page to verify their account information and ensure the following details are correct:

* Name and address
* Credit card details or ELV details (pre-paid cards are verified when submitted and thus need no additional verification)
* E-mail address (the preferred method to contact players)

If you experience any problems after entering your correct details please do not hesitate to contact our billing support hotline. http://www.wow-europe.com/en/support/phonebilling.html
