Well on the random list of ironies in my life. Today marks 3 years since my guild cleared Naxx.
Long after everyone else was moving on to Ulduar, of course, but we got a late start, and it was our first big raid ever for the little rag-tag band of very casual players. The culmination of months of work for us. In the end we finally found time to pull everything together. People got vacation at the right time, and we were able to put in 4 nights of raiding that week (as opposed to 1-2) to finally clear all 4 wings and have a shot at finishing the darn thing. 7 of us were brand new to raiding, 2 were alts from a different guild working in Ulduar, and 1 was elated to have finally beaten the thing after spending way too much time there at level 60 (boy, you should have heard his excitement when we downed 4 horsemen the 1st time... ). Boy did we ever blast through the last 2 guys though, we were so over-geared for the encounters by that point, it wasn't even funny.
Anyway I would have never noticed this date if I hadn't of been surfing through some old screenshots waiting for SWTOR to download (isn't it ironic, don't ya think?). Going to give a free trial a try, and may subscribe when the cost drops down to $15 later this fall after my AP is over. It'll be a good laugh looking back and laugh if this is where the story ends, and I ended up hopping games 3 years to the day after what was probably the peak of my WoW experience. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.
Anyway, just a random nostalgic story for a Friday. How you all doing?
