Hello Serenity!

time for my first appernes here.
we have grown a bit last month, some new officers, Zhaoxian, Sacrosanct and couerdelion.
have taken me some ime to get sorted on things.
will try update this post 1/month mayby more often.

mostly will be not much changes on how things will work with raidning and so.
we still roll for  raidspots.
but 1 thing DO NOT GET SAVED FOR ICC 10 or 25 with puggs, its hard enough get working groups for icc cos of the complexity of fights. 

over and out for this time 
// Lortadox  your new GM 

But unlike the above I guess you won't anymore..... :)

I just like to thank everyone for the support they have given to me over the past year it has been a fun endevour and I hope to find more time to get to know a few of you better and to do a little more raiding, poor chuffa has been neglected somewhat over the past few months.

I would like to wish Lortadox every success in his new role as well as welcoming Sacro and Coer into officer positons (its a bit like the missonary positon just with a kinky twist). I myself step down hopefully with some pride intact as well as hoping it causes the least amount of drama possible.....


So once again I walk amongst the mere mortals of Serenity.

So for one last time I sign out......

Its been a while since I posted some news here so I thought I ask a few simple Question.

Serenity has grown over the last year, I for one am feeling a little out of touch with what people think, how members are progressing in game and most of all what they want to be doing? it seems clear to me we have 3 or 4 different types of members currently. Those who have just arrived or levelling to 80 (badge and heroics), those in the mid end game (Nax,OS,Ulduar) and those at the end game (ICC) and those like myself currently who are levelling alts for no other reason that they are a little bored with their main.

So what is the desire from the masses, where do we all fit in or have the top tier of players run away and the others are feeling a little left behind.....

My main fear is the latter, I remember the days where we ran karahzan week in, week out gearing people in fact with a quick check of some web sites I see I kill Moroes no less than 35 times! thats right guys 35+ weeks raiding in Kara..... but also checking the armory it seems I have also downed Anub in Nax 28 times... all this since 2008... thats a lot of raiding (over 1 years worth at least once a week), a lot of time and a lot of energy. So whats the point of this message, well I think what I am trying to say is there is not a fear of repeat raiding where there is no progression to help others..... I still have a vision and I hope the other officers will support it that I would like us all as a guild to be running 25 man exclusively with Serenity, though co-ops can and usually are fun they are a bit like family as sadly we don't get to choose who we are with.

So anyway, if you need to run Nax just ask, if you need to run heroics just ask, but keep up the good work all and keep looking out for those new special members.

Serenity,

Happy New year one and all, I hope you all had a great holiday season and have now recovered from the seasons excess........



So lets start the year with a request.....

Over the past 6 months or so Serenity has grown, we are as a guild almost at the stage where the critical mass for running 25 mans as a regular feature could be possible, We have the tanks, we still miss some healers but most days we have a steady 15+ people online. This is a really positive thing but I will talk more about that in a minute.....

I have to admit and because of the great work the other officers do I have lost track a little of who is who..... yes I know a lot of your mains but your alts are lost to me... I find myself asking whether new people have joined etc most nights when I logon... So here is the GM request.

Please mail me In game with you main and Alts spelled out......

Why..I hear you cry...well A) So I know who is who B) So it makes admin a little easier C) because at the end of January any toon who has not logged on for 20+ days will be removed from the guild unless it is someone's alt who is still active.... I just need to have a spring clean!!

So looking forward to 2010......



I am sort of hoping that most don't walk around with there head in the sand and you all know that the 4th expansion to our much loved game will be released some time this year ( Personally I suspect summer time ). This give us some unique opportunities and something which can only be done when all are levelling especially in Azeroth/Kalimdor... low level recruitment... yes you heard it... though I haven't fully discussed this with the Officers it seems to me that now is the time to start recruiting for the future, so lets start picking those peeps up you see looking for a guild....the same rules apply and I will remove people who are a pain ( Please note this has happened over the last week to a now nameless guild initiate! ) It is important to maintain the mature cross section we currently have... and age definitely doesn't mean mature! (Just look at Morweine and Bodicea! ) I am happy to have the hooded youth ;) in the guild but I expect them to behave in a manor of maturity. Its not a lot to ask!

For new members please go and have a look at the guild rules - here they really are just an expectation of behaviour and easy to follow....

Cataclysm offers many benefits for have a larger guild with a broad cross section player level, including...Levelling, Achievements, Currency, Talents and Taxation! to name a few, for a nice overview you can go here.

Raiding and ICC

We have surpassed ourselves this time and I like to thank all who have put the effort into getting their gear up to be ready for ICC.... We are progressing nicely and the first 3 bosses are now I would say on farm. This week we will hopefully start progressing into the new wing and moving forward. My only fear currently is that there is a slight gear gap opening, I am not seeing this as an issue but what I would ask is that if you ask to step out because your gear score isn't high enough then it is not personal, its not that your unskilled or need to l2p its just that we are as a whole on level for the instance.... in time when we start to over gear the first wings you will be helped through but for now let the guys who have the time and the energy to gear well to progress a little further. In the end it will benefit the guild as a whole :)

On a sub note to those who have multiple, well geared alts..... ICC is currently for mains only!! unless and only where a main cannot fill the slot even if that person is slightly under geared...I would rather spend the evening wiping but getting someone valuable experience than spending an evening gearing an Alt! At least for now!!!!

And that folks is it for my first post of the year... I wish you all and your families the very best in 2010!

GM Chuffa

Serenity,

Well what a year it has been, we have had some drama, we have lost some friends but I hope we have gained some new ones. I would like to take this oppotunity to thank the officers for all their hard work as well as thanking each and everyone of you for making Serenity a great guild to run as well as a place to have fun. So as this decade comes to a close I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Thanks one and all!......
