WoW-EU Group Video Unearthed

It might have been a long time since the STR have been active in WoW-EU, but since when has that stopped us unearthing old, cool memories of times gone by?

Yes that's right, we're at it again!  After finding a treasure trove of Final Fantasy XI Group Videos a couple of years ago, we've only gone and stumbled over one of our WoW-EU days too!

And naturally, that means we're going to share it with you!  Interested?  Here's where you can find a very cool recording of our Last Day on Bladefist back in 2006.

Our thanks to Rarwen for filming this for us at the time.


SSX guild on Outland up & running again

The Shattered Star eXiles guild on Outland is now up and running again.

The aim for this guild is to be a guild of players who are initially low to middle level, who may be new or returning for the expansion. Who wish to have fun whilst leveling/grinding and who could help each other out in the process.

Anyone wishing to join should contact Ash either by PM or ingame (a list of his characters can be found in his forum sig)

WoW patch 1.12 - The Drums of War released

World of Warcraft Patch 1.12 has now arrived. Here are a few of the main highlights;

-Cross-Server Battlegrounds: For the first time in the history of World of Warcraft, you will be able to face off against players from other realms in the Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, and Arathi Basin so that players from several realms will be combined into one huge matchmaking pool.

-World PvP: The stage is set for intense, objective-based land battles as Horde and Alliance vie for control over important strategic positions and resources around Azeroth. Head out for Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands to engage the enemy on the field.

Sithilus Grind Day 09/07/06 (WoW:EU)

This sunday 09/07/06 Will be an organised guild day in sithilus. We will be completing as many sithilus quests as possible. If you have nothing better to do, or would just like to help I'd like to see you there.

Anybody with quests to finish and things to summon should meet up in cenarion hold by 12 midday BST. We will organise sorties out to finish the quests and gather materials to summon the smaller and if we have enough people, larger bosses at the camps.

We will be using vent, so treat this like an outdoor raid.

(Post taken from Ryoko's thread on the forums, please see this thread for any further details which may get posted)


SSX defeat the Twin Emperors!

After being on only the second night of attempts, yesterday evening the SSX on Outland defeated the Twin Emperors in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj!

Only C'Thun is left to defeat (minus the optional bosses) who is the final boss in AQ40 and also the hardest boss currently ingame.

Grats! ;D


The Coming Scourge Invasion...

The day many have feared for years has finally come: the Scourge has launched a direct attack on the lands of Azeroth! Reports of necropolis sightings are coming in from all over the world, the massive structures looming ominously on the horizon, ready to move at Kel'Thuzad's command. A dreadful dawn is rising in the east as the Lich King's dark minions prepare to descend upon Azeroth. Soon the Scourge will march again, and this time there is no prophet to speak the warning, no gallant knight to fight the coming darkness, no legendary hero to thwart the monstrosity on the Frozen Throne.

It is up to you now to become the fire that burns against the cold, the light of hope that prevails beneath the shadow of the necropolis!
