Well, the day has finally come!

The Old Garrison manage to get Majordomo to submit, and he leads them to the lair of his master, Ragnaros.

Full of anticipation, we headed over and summoned him.

First impressions - He's bloody huge!

The new server is already available on chat.theoldgarrison.org.uk:8789. 

I have moved the server over to a professional Teamspeak hosting service, which should be able to deal with our capacity requirements and assure an excellent uptime. I will also shortly be increasing the user limit to 100 players.

On Monday I will be removing the DNS entries for the old Teamspeak server, and the backup Teamspeak server.

Please can you all update your Teamspeak clients to connect to the new server.  Unfortunately, those of you who are registered with the server will need to re-register.

Thanks for your patience

As you are all no doubt aware, last night we took Onyxia down for the first time.

Congratulations to everyone on their participation.  We had a raid group of 34 people, and it was our 7th attempt at the big old bird.

Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 were pretty flawless.  Phase 3 started with a bit of Chaos, but Mace soon grabbed her attention and kept her parked in the corner with liberal use of Fear Ward and stance dancing.

It was a team effort, so congratulations to the team!

Also, I think a special note should go out to Serphentos from Revelations.  He kindly joined the raid group to take us through tactics and strategies (making up the 34th member).  He was pretty confident in our abilities to take Onyxia down, (and probably the ONLY person  who was at the beginning of the evening!)

It was amazing in Phase 3, when we were DPS'ing her, and someone was calling out the health percentages.  I kept expecting all hell to break loose as someone stole aggro and she came rampaging around.  However, it just didnt happen, and the call went out for 5%... 4%... Execute.. Execute.. FULL DPS... 2%. 1%.... then....

Well, my ears hurt.  Teamspeak lit up with shouts and yells and I can honestly say that that was the *best* experience that I have had in WoW so far.

So, gratz guys.  Lets move on to Majordomo and Raggie now.  BWL is not far away. :)

I have just finished part 3 of my mod guide, where I look at some of the best and most popular mods out there. The guide is currently a bit hard to read due to the new site layout, but there is a simple solution for that. You need to "/w pharazon please fix website" next time you see him in-game and the problem will quickly dissappear ;)

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that version 1.5 of CT Raid Assist is out, so please update from the official site. If you are lvl 60 and not using it, please go and get it. It helps us all.

Update: Pharazon has fixed the layout. You should now instead do "/w pharazon xxx" where xxx is replaced with one of the following: "u r0xxor", "hunters are the best", "can i have a picture of oscar?", or "I like to hear u talk" ;)
