Things have moved on in Thunder over the past couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve begun recruitment to fill the gaps left by the people who left. It’s gone well so far, and we’ve got 5/6 new people in.
Unfortunately Shill has left Thunder, in order to server-transfer to play with some real life friends from the Isle of Man, so best of luck to you mate, hope it all pans out 
And it’s Childrens’ Week in WoW this week, and I’ve already managed to polish off the achievements I hadn’t picked up last year. The most frustrating one being to Capture the Flag in Eye of the Storm. A hard achievement at the best of times for a cloth wearer, but I managed to get in on a decent group and managed to pick it up! So only a handful more achievements between now and Halloween will see me get my Violet Proto Drake
Other than that there has been a promotion for me in guild, and potentially one in real life!
I’ve been appointed Mage CM for Thunder, which means looking after and advising the rest of the mages in the guild is now my responsibility
And IRL there’s a possibility that my job may be re-graded, but which will also mean I have to re-apply for it, with the possibility that I may not get it and be out of a job!
It’s a calculated risk, but one I’m willing to take, especially if it means a pay-rise of about £7,000 p/a!
How-do, Sar.
I’m not sure if you’ll remember me from my Quake3 days but i used to play as RiceMan (i miss the Quake days). Anyhoo, i’ve been stalking your blog for years as i always found your writing pretty interesting.
I too have a mage in WoW and my guild folded not long ago causing me to have a bit of a break, recently i’ve started playing again and need a good home. If you’re low on numbers i’d gladly transfer over and you could take me under your wing.

is my character, respectfully geared but now i need access to proper ICC raids to progress and that’s impossible in PUGS.
Good luck with Thunder and if you need my lovin’ (like the sunshine) then let me know.
Hi Sar,
Guild is going well, already have 20-30 people joined, we did our first dungeon the other week. A trip to Deadmines
I have started a pally as well, already upto 25.
RiceMan, Thunder is a great guild, you could do a lot worse
Good to hear Shill, glad it’s working out well
Hi Riceman, and yeah I do remember you!
Unfortunately raid-wise we’re chock to the gills atm with mages, but you can have a look at the recruitment needs on the Thunder forum: http://www.thunderandlightning.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13191
Hey Sar
Glad to see you are still wowing, keep at it, most of the ex-quake bunch (Sass, Strike, KMA, Damak, [LL]Predator, Bulletmonkey etc etc. all went to wow but sadly most have left. Only Damak and myself as far as I know remain, although most of us still keep in touch. Can’t believe it’s like 11+ years since we were playing Quake 2 :/
Anyhow i’ll pop by from time to time, always good to read a blog or two.
Cabs
([XTC] Cable in case you forgot! how dare ye!)
Lo Cabs!
Course I remember you and the rest of the XTC crew! How’s things m8? It’s been aaaaages!
Good to see you’re still about though, was wondering to myself a few weeks back how you and the rest of the guys were getting on
We are good, not many of us still play online games, getting old ftl it seems.
Bah, I’ll still be playing em when I’m collecting my pension I think.
There is one guy in our guild who turns 59 next week – I will be that guy one day
