New modem = less lag!

Garaba's twin, Frost Armor Vendor (Priest gear)

Our internet has been wonky for a while. Last weekend was the last straw. It was only up for a minute or two before going down and staying down for much longer than it had been up. I hate Comcast. Too bad they're a monopoly in this area. Super was able to go to one of their service locations and just swap out the modem since we were pretty sure that was the problem and turns out it was. Thankfully we didn't have to schedule service guys to come out, with Super working nights (and sleeping during the day) and my crazy work schedule, it would have probably been weeks before service guys could actually take a look at our system. We raided last night with only a few lag issues (mostly Heap had them, he was on a hotel's internet) and FINALLY got the Prof. down for only the second time.

BIG NEWS! We've been in talks with BK about merging the two guilds (they have the same problems we do with finding people for the last one or two spots in their 10man raids) and creating a brand new guild for raiding. Both original guilds will remain intact for leveling alts and things, and the new guild will primarily be a raiding guild. Each set of guildies will retain their original raid night(s) with the added bonus of being able to help each other fill the remaining spots. No more pugs! After an incredibly productive vent discussion between the two guilds (each guild elected 3 people to speak in vent while others could listen and post concerns/questions in their respective guild chats, that way it wouldn't be a free-for-all and everyone's voice could still be heard), GoD has been invited to use BK's online forums to discuss new guild names. So far, there have been lots of good name suggestions made but no decisions have been made yet. My favorites has been "Set Sail For Epic Fail" and "I Stand in Fire" (neither of them were mine but I love them anyway!).
