June 6 Raid-O-Rama

Officer Nymper has been key to organizing some fantastic old school runs in part to gear up lower level characters, but mostly because they’re fun and no one seems to do them anymore.

We started off with Zul’Aman, followed by a jaunt over to Kalimdor to punch Onyxia in the face … again.  On our way back Inch and Nymper discovered a drawback of their quest for getting new headgear – no one in Mudsprocket would talk to them!

It wasn’t until we took a quick trip to Blackrock Mountain that I remembered I should really be taking pictures.  Oh well.  Behold, the only reason people go to Upper Blackrock Spire (UBRS): The Jenkins title.

I’m told a graphics bug also made Cuddles render at his original ginormous size for everyone else, but since I could only see it by looking over at my wife’s computer I have no screenshots … yet.

From there we headed off to everyone’s favorite level 70 stomp-fest, Karazhan!  It, uh … should be noted that when you’re one of the people who decides to bring a level 68 into what was once a Burning Crusade endgame instance it’s almost impossible for you to be geared up and ready, so most things will one-shot you early and often.  I thought I’d gotten the hang of it in ZA, which is technically harder, but I was wrong.

Being dead gives me more time to think up responses.

wowillhoofdiaf

Illhoof dies in a fire.  Wheee!

wowkarapewpew

Pew pew lazors!

wowkarapewpew2

Moar pew pew!

wowmaidendeath

Ohnoesidied.  Though to be honest we’re pretty good if the healer gets disconnected and only one 68-who-shouldn’t-be-there buys the farm.  Though Farnight (Daynear) was close…

wowshinydancer

Hold me closer, shiny dancer.  XD

wowkarawin

Aaaaand, we win.  Yes I died again, but to my credit that did not happen until Malchezaar was almost down.  Whew!

Grats to all those who got gear, enchanting recipes, & achievements!  Trips like this will hopefully become a weekly event.

(PS: Had some other screencaps that didn’t take place durring the raids.  Posted them here.)
