You can identify these traitorous Horde members by their new tabard design, as shown below on criminals Bridal, Eben and Lachrimana.

...sometimes you end up buried face first in the sand.

Hurne, Amontal, Zarama, Anastasis and Glaive defeated the Deadmines last night. One wipe, but no other deaths.

Just a quick thank you to Reb for the new outfit, and Scowlin and Alarqa for helping Leafy through the Scarlet Monastery to get her new hitty stick. Here's how she looks now:

It's great being part of this guild sometimes!

Well, last night on Twilights Hammer, my brother (Artful, but plays a UD priest called Nightware on TH) and I (playing Athum, my shaman on TH) did our first Molten Core raid with the guild we belong to on TH (called Fleetwood). The Guild does the first 6 bosses on Friday (Lucifron, Magmadar, Gehennas, Garr, Baron Geddon and Shazzrah), and the rest (Golemag, Sulfuron, Majordommo, Ragnoros) on a Sunday night.

To start with, I was totally overwhelmed by the 40 man raid thing. It felt like a Tarren Mill PvP zergfest pre-battlegrounds, except versus mobs. However, as I gradually 'got my eye in', things started to make more sense.

Molten Core, to be defeated, is not an instance you can just wander into and explore. Sheesh, even the starter trash mobs spam hit anyone who gets too close for over 1k (at least, thats what I as a mail user was getting hit for!). The bosses are of course much worse! (Shazzrah aoe's for 1k, and does an aoe debuff that takes it up to 2k if mages/druids don't remove curse fast enough, and magmadar chucks our a curse that hits you for 2k in 10 sec, and throws fireballs that do 400 damage a sec for 8 secs! One of the bosses, I forget which, randomly picks a player every 30 sec and turns them into a bomb that does 2k aoe damage after 8 sec.
