Wrath of the Lich King
It's not like you don't already know this, but it's news! WLK is finally here - group up with your guildmates and give the Scourge what-for! Every quest completed is a needle in Arthas' heart, I have it on good authority.
Have fun!

Well, we ran into a few rough spots, but we got him down. And, pulled Supremus a few times as well. Should be some more kills in the upcoming weeks ahead!
Excellent job folks!
(Sorry about the late post. I am having tremendous problems with the screenshot and uploading the image.)

Kazrogal and Azgalor down on Tich!
Excellent job everyone! Two firsts in one week! We dusted off the cobwebs quickly and proved we can do this. Although we wiped quickly to Archimonde, we did get some learning attempts in and should be able to make some honest progress next week.
Three T6 tokens! More to follow!

Mount Hyjal first kill for Stormrage
We headed into Mount Hyjal tonight with some new friends from Valiant Souls, and killed Rage Winterchill for the first time ever (we had gotten him to 8% on a previous raid).
Spirits were high, and everyone worked hard and stuck to it until he was down. Great job everyone!

April Fool's PvP Raid
We spent a fun April Fool's on Stormrage, running around horde capitals and scaring up as much world PvP as we could.
Big thanks to Mots for coming up with the idea and organizing it, and thanks also to everyone who came out, we had lots of Basiners and lots of friends with us, and I think everyone had a ton of fun. I know I certainly did!
More pictures of the event are here.

Illidan Down on Tichondrius
Last night a fine group of 22 current and former Basin folks plus 3 of our fine friends from Grim Vengeance laid Illidan to rest. It took us 31 total pulls to get the kill which was spread out over 3 nights of raids.
Also as part of our push this week we got to send Champ off in style as he is no longer going to be raiding with us. (Champ quit your new job!!!! Raiding >>>RL <3 )

First boss kill in SSC for Stormrage - Lurker Down!
We recently realized we hadn't done a news update in a while, and the Lurker kill tonight seemed like the perfect excuse to get back into the swing of things.
Lurker Kill
This was our first SSC kill, so was a great feeling for everyone, and we're planning on continuing our forward momentum. :) Many thanks to everyone who has helped out with our raiding efforts, this is very much a victory for the entire team!
Pictures of the kill are listed here. Loot from Lurker was Ancestral Ring of Conquest, Velvet Boots of the Guardian, and Mallet of the Tides, and we also got a Wildfury Greatstaff off of trash on our way there.
Zul'Aman
We've been working on Zul'Aman since it came out, and are currently working on Zul'Jin. Here are some pictures of our boss kills along the way, as well as shots of some adorable (but deadly) Hex Gnomes, and our first look at the one-eyed, one-armed troll who we hope to take down in the near future.
Winter Veil - Holiday Party
We try and celebrate Winter Veil every year with a special event, as well as the traditional gift exchange. This year, we got together in Winterspring to give out our Secret Snata presents, and get a picture taken with Snata himself! Afterwards, we piled onto low level alts on another server to engage in a raid on the most epic of beasts.... Hogger. It was a ton of fun doing a raid on a level 11 mob with people who were level 3 and 4, and we even took off to Westfall afterwards until we were beaten back by the Murloc hordes. Pics and a link to the video that LucyLui put together of the event can be found here. Stay good, boys and girls! Snata is always watching!

Amazon Basin Fundraising Time
Our gaming community thrives in part because of these forums. It takes money to keep those servers operating, and The Amazon Basin accepts no advertising. All of the organizational types here work as volunteers. Periodically our founder, TPJ, has to ask that those of us in a financial position to help out do so by making a donation. That time is upon us, as TPJ recently reported on the Main Forums:
QUOTE It's time for me to do what I hate the most - ask for money. I'm lucky to run a vibrant and well respected community of people that always seem ready to help those in need. I don't like to 'ask' for people to help us stay afloat, but as probably all of you realize by now, our decision to leave advertisements off our site forces me to pass the hat every now and then.
Our last server fund drive was in early 2006. It kept us going for almost 2 years! I can't thank you folks enough for that. I understand we held another one about a year ago for a (close to) destitute ABM - and asking you again so soon wasn't my plan. I hope everyone understands.
Right now, the best way to help is with a donation through PayPal. I am working on getting our BasinWear site back up and running, so I should have that ready in the next few days. Once it is up, you can use it to purchase 1337 items like cracked sashes and mongolian pr0n. Heck, you can even purchase a sweet embroidered polo or Basin mouse pad!
If you are in a financial position to help us, please visit our donation page. If you'd rather not go the subscription route (on that page), you can just use the single 'PayPal Donate' button below that row of 'subscription' icons. I'll have the BasinWear site up soon, so if you'd rather use it, just hang in there please.
Thanks everyone.
We'll all do whatever we are able to help keep this oasis of online gaming operating.
Thanks, everybody!

Gruul down on Stormrage
The title says it all. It's been a while since we got Maulgar the first time, so after all these wipes it's really nice to see Gruul face down.
Good work all those who put in all that effort all this time!

Maulgar Down on Stormrage
After many, many attempts, the Stormrage gang downed Maulgar. Morgrid put this together and planned for several weeks. Many BEM flasks were burned and we wiped until we got the pull down. Once we got that, we were able to down his adds, hang in through all the whirlwinds and finish him off.
Grats and thanks to all who participated.

Morigrim Tidewalker walks no more
That's right! After a few nice attempts, we brought him down, with the call to go wet coming at about 60%! The tich branch continues it's relentless march through serpentshrine cavern
phat lewts were Warboots of obliteration for Poinsettia and Girdle of the tidal call for Rescorla.
Oh, and an un-named, but very handsome and witty Tauren warrior got his last 2 nether vortexes, finishing his Lionheart Executioner
Thanks to all that were there for a VERY fun fight!

Full Clear of Karazhan for The Basin on Stormrage
The title kind of says it all. Three or four attempts on Nightbane on Friday night and we downed him on the fourth attempt on Saturday. We had made a few attempts on Netherspite two weeks ago, and came back after Nightbane and got him on the second try.

First Serpentshrine Cavern boss kill for the Basin raiders on Tich
On the second night of Serpentshrine raiding, the Basin raiding crew on Tichondrius took down Hydross the Unstable. A big thank you goes out to everyone in the guild who donated resistance gear and to the tanks who put a lot of effort into gathering resistance sets.
Loot went to Riva (the new stamina/resilience/attack power ring), Century and Inadatto. Congrats and enjoy guys!

Prince, Illhoof down on SR
The gang on Stormrage took out Prince on the second try of the night, after several weeks of learning. We then proceeded to down Illhoof on the 3rd attempt ever. We got Duana set up for summoning Nightbane, so next chance we get we will have to take a look at that fight. With Netherspite the only other boss to fall, we are getting pretty close to clearing it.
Good job all 'round.
