On Warlocks

An old plague in a new form has infested the WoW-EU official forums.

Whine. We all know it. This months whine subject is Warlocks.
Those reading the forums know what I mean, for those who don't; people whine about Warlocks being powerfull, too powerfull. So people shout "NREF!!!" or make cool threads about how they are quitting the game. Some are going to reroll a BE lock, so those will infest our nice, quiet Orgrimmar soon as well. I wonder what the effect will be if this happens.

First of all, we'll be seeing all the Warlocks level. Most will level at a normal pace, do instances etc. I think those will have big troubles finding a group, as there will be to much locks around. 2 locks in every group; drama; all in your PC!

Next; a load of Warlocks will be PvPing, this is where they dominate as off now. But, there will be a shitload of morons playing locks, meaning a lot of warlocks dying in a matter of seconds. Also, because of the big load of Warlocks, a lot won't get in a raiding guild. And what do people do when rejected? Create their own. Those will fail and drag ~30 other players down to the start again.

After this, the warlocks will be crying; they suck at PvP, won't be wanted for groups and so on. This will lead to the next part; whine threads about how Warlocks should be buffed and how gimped they are. A lot of newbies wont be rolling Warlocks. In some PvP threads, we'll see a class that is "better". And that will be the next class to fall victim to this cycle. We've had rogues, now it's the warlocks' turn. Who will be next?

Ragnoras has bitten the dust!

The Artisans have done it, finally! Nov. 19th we downed Ragnaros.

After fighting our way to Domo, and killing him of course ;), we HSed to Kargath to get the LBRS Fire-resistance buff. Then we went to Raggy, explained some tactics, and totally wtfpwned his ass. Very few people died, we had about 30 seconds left to the 2nd submerge.

After finishing loot( Malistar shield, shaman kilt, Stormrage and a Crown of Destruction) we went to kill Onyxia. Turned out it was Shammy day, she dropped 2 shaman helms, 1 had to be DEd.

At least we can now brag about DEing T2 items. ;)

Starting this Blog

Greetings, here is the player behind "Nyech Gallowhang" on the Moonglade RP server.
Inspired by other WoWblogs I got inspired to start my own.

According to WoW-Census, I am one of the 3 people named Nyech on WoW(It shows my own level one paladin Placeholder). I cant post the link now, the site is down at the moment.

I created Nyech somewhere around December I think, after various of alts on the Moonglade server. My former main, Klogump, was in the guild Sanctuary, which was owned by Moonhawk, whom is still well-known by the veterans of Moonglade even though he has dissappeared months ago. I had an officer rank in that guild, and was one of the ~20 members. I got to know Stormblade and Invena there, who I still speak every now and then. This was the first guild that didn't make me want to delete my character.

Somewhere around level 40, Sanctuary fell apart as Moonhawk dissappeared. I started trying various other classes/races then, and hated it. I tried to get back by joining a raiding guild, that recruited early. This was Defenders of the Core(DotC). But, I didn't like my character anymore, and started a Gnome Rogue on the same server. I got him to 31 when I started missing Nyech.

I got back on Nyech, and got in touch with Stormblades alt, Graktar. He started his own guild; Covenant of the Horde. For some reason he disbanded it, and founded The Sanctuary, a tribute to our old guild.

I levelled to 56 or so, and my former interest in RP became a second choice; I loved PvE. I got back in DotC and raided with them for a while. I've been on their first Ragnaros kill and got me a nice Nightslayer Chestpiece. But I wanted more raids, and the times were hard to manage.

So I waved goodbye to DotC and looked for a raiding guild which suited me more. We have few raiding guilds on the Horde; Honorbound, DotC, Artisans of Bloodcraft and Equilibrium(sorry if I forgot any!). We also have some casual raiding groups, but that's not my cup of tea.
The only ones that suited me were Honorbound and the Artisans, but Honorbound was way out of my reach so I decided to try Artisans of Bloodcraft(AoB). I was accepted, as I was geared up nicely already. This was about a month ago...

I want to use this blog to post -ALL- my experiences in WoW, this includes raiding, PvP and RP as well(Although that is becoming even more rare then it was :( ). Some blogs won't be interesting for everyone, but hey, it's mine ;)
