Goodbye

First, let me mourn the loss of Kalon as a blogger, author of the ThinkTank. Kalon did a great job of finding interesting aspects of the feral side of life and digging in deep to crack the mechanics of the bear druid. His work helped me gear on more than one occasion and I will sorely miss him and his analysis. However, he did leave us with some great resources to try and fill his shoes.

Hello!

With every closed door, we find another just opening. As many of you might have been aware, there was a calling for a Balance/Resto druid over at WoW.com. They selected a voice in the community that is both well known and well received. Congratulations to Murmurs on his new position and we look forward to reading his posts!

Closer to Home

It is with much sadness that I now post that I am no longer a member of The Horde. I have recently transfered servers and factions in order to accept a part-time raiding spot on Dragonblight-US with the guild . I run my first raid with them tonight and I am salivating at the prospect of raiding competitively once more. To all the Horde I know an love, I shall miss you. To my new Alliance brethren, it's nice to be back where it all began, slumming around IF, jumping across the bridge in front of the AH.

I must say, Dalaran has gotten significantly more irritating as Alliance. I now am constantly ported out of my auto-pilot to portals, trips to the inn, and generally feel upside down in the city. Hell, I thought the south bank was like El Dorado, a place of mystery beyond the veil of time and space. And the north bank now feels as foreign as a car in England.

Well, yesterday I took a step back from hardcore raiding and will no longer be on the cutting edge of gear, kills, or progression. I find that my recent move, along with my real life, leave me with inadequate time to commit to a solid raiding schedule. I have left my guild, The Seventh Circle on Malfurion, with a very heavy heart. I still remember moving to Malfurion from Garona when the realm opened with the goal of making an endgame raiding guild and being successful. Two guild creations later, we had done just that! The Seventh Circle was pushing through content with the best of the best.

In addition to leaving the guild, I have left the server as well. I joined a friend on Earthen Ring who runs a very casual raiding guild with real life friends. I look forward to many new adventures with them. But what does that mean for this blog?!

Well never you fear! Much of what I do here doesn't even require a subscription to WoW. You can expect me to continue looking at Balance Druids and theorycrafting. However you might find posts on less mathematical things every once in a blue moon too. I am currently looking at the Twisting rotation for the next patch and when I have something reasonable to say, I'll write it down for y'all!
