Everybody level 81+ as of today should have gotten a calendar notice for Aug. 21. On the calendar on that date is a sign up list for people interested in raiding cata content. Sign up EACH of your 85 alts that you want to raid with. I'll track our class composition and gear levels with the armory.

Raid schedule will be determined once we know who is participating, but I propose * Tues 5-7 or 6-8 * and * Fri evening or Saturday afternoon, * either 2 weeks at a time or alternating each week, depending on if we are able to clear and reset or need to continue.

We will be a little flexible with gear levels until we determine the minimum. However, I expect people to be mostly in JP gear. Blizzard designed the raids for 346 minimum. EVERY 85 should be grinding Molten Front dailies for 1-4 365 items. It takes 30 days to get everything in the Molten Front, but you may not need it all.

Obviously Firelands requires the best gear. However, *maybe* we can do undergeared trash runs to get everyone to friendly (gives a 379 item) by just doing the easiest pulls.

A guild vent has been procured by Cruzzac. Thanks, Cruzzac!

Yes, that's right, folks, we took down Arthas, finally! Congratulations to the group, it ended up being a guild run, with a couple old guildies to fill a couple holes in the ranks.

We did very well, and we beat the undead bastard's butt hard! There's screenshots posted now, and all we need to be thinking about, raid wise, is hitting the Cata content hard!

Congratulations again to the group and all of POD!

Ok folks, the forums are under new ownership......ME! If you're a member, register under your main character's name, and I'll approve you as soon as I get a message stating you're trying to register.

If you're interested in the guild, then send us a message, or send us a message in trade chat. Someone will get ahold of us. ^_^

Thanks, and see you in game.

Go into Interface and turn off the tool tips before going into an instance.

Here's a pair of macros you can make to turn it on and off.

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

Update: This was supposedly fixed on the 10/26 update.

Patch 4.0.1 is here soon! When that happens, all character specializations will be reset. Be sure to read up on the changes before you re-specialize everything. Here's one thing I just learned: Glyphs will be permanent! So watch out!

Wow Insider covers a lot of class and mechanics changes in Cataclysm. You can find them at http://wow.joystiq.com

Update: I'm going to start a 4.0.1 thread, where we can post tips and discoveries.
