You can PM, e-mail, or post your answers and get your input into the hopper so that the guild officers can evaluate what, if any, changes could be made to benefit the guild as a whole. Please take the 10 or so minnutes it should take to help us make your play experience more enjoyable! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:19:35 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=34 October 23, 2009 (Icecrown) - An intrepid band of 10 warriors, battle-hardened from their battle with the Broodmother, Onyxia, stepped forth into Icecrown's Trial of the Crusader. Freezing from the biting cold after having been roasted, they faced a gruelling series of challenges: Gorlok the Impaler, the two dread wryms, and Icehowl. No sooner had they bested these foes than a foolish gnome summons the demon Lord Juraxxas. Our heroes defeated the demon, only to have the Horde cry "foul" and send their champions to dispatch our party. With guts, grim determination, and fate (luck), our heroes emerge from the champions battle victorious...when Twin Val'kyrs appeared to stop them in their tracks. However, it was the Val'kyrs, not our band of valiants, that were stopped and dispatched with authority. Then, the Spider King. Anub'arak. Reborn from his Azjol-Nerub lair, this fould creature sought to teach our heroes the meaning of the word "defeat". Instead, the King was vanquished and when the dust settled, there was no more. No more foes to face and turn back, no more enemies to defeat....only...VICTORY!! Congrats to The Society for clearing ToC-10 man for the first time! Check out the Trophy Case for more details on the fights and the lucky Looters. The Society is looking to repeat it's success in coming weeks, along with finishing off Yogg and gearing up for Icecrown Citadel. If you've been taking a break, now is a great time to get back in the game and get loosened up for the fun that will come in pursuing the renegade Arthas, aka The Lich King. Justice will be ours and Glory to the Alliance!

In both 10- and 25-man flavors, we launched an assault upon her and emerged somewhat battered, somewhat charred, but wholly victorious!! (see the Trophy Case for a lesson on watching the tail) A big congrats to all who participated and a reminder that like a phoenix, she shall arise again and must be put back down. Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:51:04 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=32 Greeting's Folks! Just thought I would post a bit of an update here for a change. As of last night our Ulduar progression 10 man added another boss to the list. Freya decided to join the ranks of the fallen. Mimron was a different story. We managed to make 4 pulls on him last night. The first one we lasted about 30 seconds. The seoncd pull we actually made it to phase two. The third phase we made it to the start of phase three. The fourth and final pull we got all the way to phase three with the bulk of the raid intact and got him to about 10% health. I predict that he will easily join the ranks of the fallen this week! The count of bosses is now 10 of 14 dead and buried! Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:25:31 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=31 Greetings fellow's! The officers have been working all week and by working I mean slinging verbal insults at each others while trying to hash out a new more balanced loot system. Head on over to the CoC & Raid Rules forum . The new rules are in the Sticky thread. The discussion thread is below it. Any posts made on the actual rules thread will be ignored and deleted so make sure when you speak up you post them in the correct thread. We are asking for input here so don't be shy. Tell us what you think, trust me if you saw what we say to eachother you would know we can take it! Happy Raiding! Fri, 15 May 2009 23:03:33 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=30 Greeting's Fellows! Well we knew it was coming, 3.1 brought changes to the dynamic of raiding both in the way we look at groups with the availability of Dual Spec and how we look at instances with Blizzards ground breaking Ulduar. Posted in the forums (FOLLOW THIS LINK) is a list of some things to expect for raiding in 3.1 as well as a updated list of expectations for playing wanting to raid! Thanks for reading and see you on the flip side! Sun, 19 Apr 2009 11:16:44 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=29 Welcome to Spring! With Spring, we have...new content to play with! Beware the Patch Boss! Blizzard has been wiping on Patch 3.1 quite a bit, but they keep res'ing the servers and, with luck and a bit of time, we'll be able to get our dual-specs up and running to start playing in Ulduar real soon. Toward that end, please keep checking the raid site and signing up for raids. Please also be open to trying another instance if Ulduar continues to experience difficulties (falling through the world FTL!). Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:46:06 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=28 Greetings folks. Just wanted to send along a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from me and mine. Lets take a moment and forget about all the "stuff" that really doesn't matter and embrace the things that do. Stay safe, enjoy the day off and we can pick it all up again on the flip side! PS: For you last minute shoppers, I hear there is a surplus of wild Turkey's in the Fjord! Thu, 27 Nov 2008 16:13:07 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=27 As the expansion draws nearer and the eve of the last major content patch draws nigh, the officers are starting to look ahead to when we have 10-20-30 level 80 characters, hopefully spread among 20-30 people, so that we can get a feel for (and plan) likely raid group(s) composition. Please take a moment to visit this thread to share your current plans, especially if you are thinking you might be switching mains to be a backstabby rogue instead of the tree druid you've always been before. Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:23:23 GMT http://thesocietyguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=26 Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Is the site still @#*&^%$-ed or what? No, I don't think so. It seems the host has fixed the issue that caused the site to be {screwed} up. 2. So we're good then? Cool. What happened? Yeah, I still don't know for sure. I wish I did. 3. So what's going on in the meantime? Why should I be checking the site? Excellent question, I'm glad you asked! Whack the "Read More" link and we'll talk about it. Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:33:07 GMT
