Merger has Begun!

So for those of you have have been keeping track of my recent activities in WOW you will have noticed that a merger was being planned between Rabid Kittens of Camelot and DIABLO. It has finally gotten underway as of last Saturday adn I must admit I'm very pleased with the result so far. Minion logged into his alt to start up the new guild named "United Pwnall Service" (play on United Postal Service aka UPS where Pwn = obliterate/destroy/humiliate in regards to opponent). Imnotshirley was the member that thought this up and I was instantly in favor of this name after long hours of brainstorming on my own.

Not only is it funny, it essentially incorporates our guild. I want to say up front that what I am about to say may kind of sound cheesy or a little too lame. So if you don't like that sort of stuff then skip down to where it says **CONTINUE READING HERE**. Ok well first of all it's United which shows that it's the unification of the 2 guilds into a new group that has decided to go forward with a common cause. Pwnall is because we are awesome and we strive to smoke any resistance that comes our way whether it be PVP (player vs player), PVE (player vs environment), BG (battlegrounds), or basket weaving. The service part kinda ties adds a little more dimension on everything because it states that we are bringing something to the table that needs to be addressed. There is a need for what we do and we are here to fulfill it. All together it basically states that we are a guild determined to bringing our A-game to all aspects of WoW because it's what the game demands of us to do.

It means we will destroy anything that gets in our way and we will do it with style.

But yeah the merge has been good so far. I gave the GM duties to my lvl 13 hunter alt that I pretty much have decided not to level just for transferring stuff and making sure others from the guild get invited to the new merged guild. I've already cleaned out the guild bank funds and only about half of our supplies from the bank tabs (which I'll note will still be around for extra storage purposes should they be needed). And DIABLO has done likewise. We also wnet ahead and ran our first instance together with our pally tanking and their priest healing and th rest of us filling in the DPS. We burned through the dungeon pretty quickly and a couple of the hunters pieces dropped which was good. Afterwards our pally mentioned being tricked into doing a "normal" instance, which i admit was really easy, and said we need to start running heroics asap. I completely agree. Even if most of us aren't completely geared for Heroics I think that's half the fun and battle. Heroics should cause wipes and frustration and challenge beacuse that's how it forces groups to grow. Giving up just because you can't handle the fact that something isn't easy is contrary to the concept of how these dungeons are supposed to be run. It's meant to be a progression through the stages to get better gear not so you can beat that particular instance repeatedly with no problems, but so you can tackle the next challenge to get better gear.

All in all I think this will work out pretty well. We just need a couple tanks and maybe some higher lvl healers and we will even be set to start doing 10-man raids like Kara soon. Guess it's time to start hardcore lvling my priest from 60-70 now. Its kind of funny that once I do this my alt will soon be better geared than my main but hey that's the way it goes with healers and tanks...they get geared pretty fast and they should.
