The air was cold and dry. With heavy steps, Greenbull entered the fur tent, letting a muffled pained groan escape while he dropped his shield and mace on the wooden trunk. The pain he felt was constant, the half healed patches of burnt skin covered with blisters on all his body were not very comfortable with heavy plate armor. With teeth clinched, he removed his armor, part by part, in a long and painful ritual.

All was pain.

Since the day he left his family´s land, all he knew was pain. It hurt to see his land attacked and his friends die, it hurt more to learn that the path of vengeance was not an easy path. It hurt even worse to see his comrades fall, war destroy the land and then the people that lived in it. It was his land, and so he abandoned the farmer tools and took up the sword. A big one.

Since that day, all he has known was pain.

Greenbull eased himself onto the mound of fur that he called 'bed' and tried to find a position that didn't hurt too much so he could have a little sleep. He must rest some, for soon he'd again be wearing his plate and shield defending the honor of the Horde and the life of his friends. Yes, the magic powers can heal and even bring you back from the brink of death, but they did leave scars and they did leave the pain behind.

When sleep was almost upon him, he heard steps on the stone path outside his tent. His muscles automatically awoke from a surge of adrenalin, but a familiar voice calmed him.

In the entrance of the tent, he could see his little brother's face.

"Moonfeather, I'm here to talk with you of a most urgent matter," said the young tauren. "The Skullcrusher elders are crazy. They made a Forsaken the new chief! That pawn of the Scourge now taints our very Great Hall!"

Greenbull raised his hand, and Riverwhisper stopped talking.

"Who?" asked Greenbull.

"Maube, that..." Riverwhisper began again, but came to a sudden stop when he saw a smile on the face of his brother.

"They choose well. Maube great leader. Maube bring me to the clan. Maube trust us." Greenbull replied while looking at the dreamcatchers hanging from the ceiling.

"You don't see? You can't see that when the Scourge comes again, all the Forsaken will be dominated by their mindless tainted will and just turn on us? You don't see that we are putting the keys of the most proud clan of the Horde on the hands of a future enemy? You're a simple minded fool, Moonfeather! All you know is farming and holding a shield! I studied with the wisest elders from Moonglade, I saw what the Scourge has done and I see what it'll do again some day." Greenbull saw his brother's eyes full of fury. The young fury, the one not tamed by the visions of the Plaguelands.

"Me trust Maube, me says to you: do the same. She good for our clan. She good for us. Me not wise, me not studied with Druids. Me knows only what my eyes see and ears listen and heart feel. With that, me has grown strong and me avenged the wrong, and me saved life, and me found friends. Maube friend, and me happy. If old chiefs make Maube chief, me make Maube chief on my hearth. You study, me feel. You must feel, me not need study. All me need to know is swing sword and hold shield, as me shield is to our land, our clan and our friends. You need feel." Greenbull stared at his brothers eyes as he talked, and even with all the pain, his eyes were calm and deep.

"If the old chiefs and elders declared her our new chief, I abide to their command, but I shall not trust her, or any of the Forsaken, ever!" Riverwhisper turned around and walked with hard steps thundering down the stone path.

Greenbull rested his head on the fur. He thought of all that he has got through to get where he was. He knows that more people will distrust Maube as the leader, in the Clan and in other Clans. She will have to be strong.

He sleeps, and dreams.

Edit: Raeda kindly revised the original and corrected my mistakes. Thanks, pretty moo

So, don't know about you people, but things down here are starting to get hot. Everybody planning how to see the games, people already packing to go watch it.

25 days to go, and how're you feeling about your country's team, or the team you like...

I'm ready, Are You Ready?

Yeah. But those draenei are not ugly... Only if they were not Alliance...

Priests now have angelic halos over their heads. What will be on Tier 4? Angel Wings? A flaming sword?

And the warrior has a cool color, but the shoulders are ugly.

I must say that I'm very happy with Gromit getting the Bindings. Since MC started he was always the first one to pass on warrior stuff to get me and Alhazad geared, and he was always like "I just want a weapon... Might is not good for pvp... I just want a weapon"... And I was always hoping for a OEB, and then the Binding drop!

Let's now continue "farming" the Core and hope he can get the left side, and then he will sure count with my help to complete the weapon

And we are doing very good at the Core.

About this interview about Burning Crusade

It is a token system but a refined token system. In Ahn’Qiraj and Zul’Gurub we realized we made a bad mistake with itemization. Token systems can be good and reputation systems can be very useful, but combining token systems with reputation requirements is not necessarily a good design decision, or at least it wasn’t with ZG and AQ.

Could not agree more with that. Hope they fix that. I never came back to ZG and never get an Armsplint to get my Bracer...

I don’t think that paladins and shamans are supposed to explicitly balance each other out. They are supposed to be different, and frankly at some perverse level I think it’s good that there’s this animosity.

Haha. Stop whining and l2p paladins....

Q. So does that mean the Dark Portal will open automatically by itself?A. We haven’t decided. We have a few ideas and we are vehemently debating that with each other currently.

Please not another Gates of An'Qiraj let's crash your server event...

Q. In terms of how Burning Crusade players will be able to handle older content, how many level 70 characters, for example, do you think it will take to kill Ragnaros?

A. I’m not sure because we’re actually about to start testing on that, but I would guess 10 to 15.

LF9M to MC!!

Ghules was formelly a Son of Draenor.

If you convert it to anything not XviD or MPEG, people who don't use Windows may run into trouble

A cool alternative is to send it to www.youtube.com or video.google.com

De nada, Qiris

ha. Just found that.

At least you can curse at me on my native language.

Obrigado, Greenbull!

So cute

But girls uses "Obrigada", yeah, our substantives have genres as well

Oki. Looks like my hosting has hit a kernel bug and is fixing it now. Not my fault, folks!

I'll keep monitoring.

I must remember to run the TS server when stuff gets ok.

Maube, no need. Hosting is cheap

I am already working to bring it back. Seems like I need a little more memory :\

So why don't I see Greenbull's name in the queued area for Onyxia yet?

Because I'm never sure if I'll make it on the thursdays :\ I normally play only on Mon/Wed/Fri. I'm trying to negotiate that here at home :\

It was like three days... Not two...

Hey, Why I was the first example? I'm not the one widely know as 'Mr Facedow'....

Today I'll be trying to do UBRS to get Drakk's blood from 9:30/10:00 onwards. And Xaos is getting a group for Warlord's Command at the same time, so everyone is invited to catch up.

I read some time ago that Bioware was working on another SW MMO, since SWG is going bad.

So, my loved wife is completing another full loop around the sun this sunday (16/04), so be gentle and post here to show how you all are great and good persons

If Green cant make it, Alhazad could easily be the MT for Ony, Crushers never fail when it comes to DPS... and DPS Is what we need for phase two.

Later is better, so I voted 9:30 (10:30 for me, perfect)

Any day not MC is cool.

lets get more keyed! I know Katak needs to get Rends head, and Tazzy needs to kill world dragons... so lets work on this people =) Seriously!

I need the Drak blood and I'm set, I think.

As for the DKP, Green set it up... dunno if we can run two DKP sections on Green's site... doesnt seem to be a way to seperate the DKP to seperate raids

We can have 2 NDKP running, even more. The system was designed to compute DKP for all guild independent of raids, so people running the 2 (or more) raids with the guild would get more DKP in all of them. I think that can sound a little unfair for our setup. If needed, let me know and I'll organize the site to hold multiple separated DKP counts.

I would be able to go to more raids also, if they started later.

I second that.

Also, um, where did that handy dandy pinned FAQ about using it on here go? Either my brain isn't working right this early or it's gone. I wanted to make my sig banners to the small kind.

And yes, it should work ok with the new version

Hmmm.

To get the Libram of Resilience enchant (+20 FR to head or legs) I need

4 Crystal Spire

1 Black Diamond

1 Burning Essence

The burning essence is on BRD, Dark Coffer, never made BRD deep enough to remember where's that. It's BOP.

The Crystals are items made using the Pylons on Un'Goro, and requires 10 blue crystals and 10 yellow crystals each, so I'll spend some time monday night farming those crystals. So if anyone has extra crystals, they're welcome, again

I have 2 librams, gifts from Chief Volo and Maube-makes-raiding-fun, I can only carry 1 at a time, but I'll use those 2 to grant +40 FR on the FR gear. That means 40 crystals and 2 journeys to BRD.

It'll be fun!

139 unbuffed. With MOTW and a potion I can get near 200, yes. I'll ask maube for the +7 resists to back and will start the quest for the Libram of Resilience enchant (but I need a BRD run to the Dark Coffer for that).

But if we adopt the strategy of me running from the inferno AOE, I think I can take the first and last pulses.

Not a hard fight, MT needs highest possible FR gear. Hunter pulls to MT, give him X amount of seconds to build up aggro, once MT gives the okay, dps the crap out of him, yes MT moves out of his ae then re-commits to geddons beat down. Just keep a reminder to being the bomb and stay away from the raid when u are the bomb Shouldn't worry about stealing aggro if you gave the MT enough time to build hate, and the raid does steady dps.

Hmmm. That would explain why, in some videos, people start DPSing only after a long time, normally after geddon does the second Inferno thing.
