I'm aware that the wiki software powering the forums and other pages is sometimes acting up, so that you get a blank page instead of whatever was expected. This is not your fault or a browser error. It seems to be an artefact of the recent software upgrade. I've filed a support request with the developers to look at the problem as I can't seem to solve it myself. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Paddington recently notified the Honourbound Alliance that he will be stepping down as guild leader of Phoenix Legion because of anticipated lack of time in the upcoming months. The Honourbound Alliance welcomes Gimlinox as the new guild master of Phoenix Legion.

Ever notice that when you want something to happen, it doesn't? And then, when you don't want it to happen, it does?

I'm having one of those days.

Bah! Humbug!

Hey Honourbounders

A bit of an update on Team Red progress. Since the last update we have taken Shade of Aran and the usual suspects a few times but the big news is we took down Prince Malchezaar . Having done all fights in Kara previously I can assure you this is the toughest one as not only do you need well geared tanks and healers and big DPS but luck is also a factor with regards to the Infernals. On average you get a break on them every 3rd go. There are 2 "theoretical" safe spots but I dont like them as they tend to separate the melee and we decided to take matters into our own hands and choose a middle starting point controlling the tank and raid movements as required. We have spent approximately 4-5 hours on the Prince in the last 3 weeks so to finally give him he slapping he so richly deserved was a great moment for all concerned and possibly my most enjoyable WoW moment certainly the best for a long time. Congratulations Sunshinegirl on THB's first Tier 4 hat.

I feel that one month into the new THB raid structure the benefits are there for all to see. All 3 teams have now cleared Aran and I don't doubt it will be more than a few weeks before I am hearing that all teams are clearing all attempted bosses each week. Perhaps a meeting is due soon to see what we can do to accomodate the new instance ZA and perhaps even larger challenges like Gruuls & Serpentshrine Cavern. It would also be nice to see most people in the list get at least some raid exposure. I suppose there are no easy answers to these things but with the new raid teams working well maybe its time to discuss what can be done next.

It is also great to see Pink and Blue teams doing so well in Karazhan and we look forward to working together in future adventures. Well done to all teams keep up the great work.

Warmest regards,

Wheat & Team Red

Team Blue, after 5 weeks of raiding Karazhan every Monday & Tuesday, managed to kill Prince Malchezaar in last night's Tuesday raid. This was our first night of attempts againts him and turned out to be greatly successful. The initial attempt was mostly just to see how the fight works and to experiment with positioning. There were a few problems with positioning which were tweaked by the 3rd attempt and after about an hour and a few times getting him down to about 20%, we got him on the 4th try

Whilst quite an enjoyable, intense fight, the random luck element based upon the where the Infernals land is rather irritating to say the least. Nevertheless, with the knowledge of how the fight works and the belief that we know can get him down, we hope to see plenty more of Prince biting the dust.

The spoils: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29044 won by Whiro
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28766 won by Zam
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28773 won by Hulgster

With a few changes to the Team's roster, the Team was:

Drennior (Warrior, Tank)
Juffa (Paladin, Off-Tank)
Terhen (Shaman, Healer)
Hulgster (Paladin, Healer)
Kaatje (Priest, Healer)
Zam (Mage, DPS)
Sonarakbadak (Hunter, DPS)
Amara (Warlock, DPS)
Whiro (Rogue, DPS)
Phoebus (Mage, DPS)

Starting this week, Team Blue will now raid 3 times a week; Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. With this additional day, we'll have the opportunity to try out more bosses and make further progress.

With great successes across all 3 teams, the future for THB raiding looks bright with many great challenges still to conquer.
