Finally, the spires of Moscow.

The long march is almost over! In under two weeks Lich King will be out and we will be levelling to 80. At the meeting, the class/profession leaders were assigned as follows (some spots are still available - contact Horrigan if you feel you can fill the role):

  • Paladin - Movac
  • Warrior - Horrigan
  • Mage - Arclyte
  • Priest - Pttolemy
  • Warlock - unassigned
  • Rogue - Dyrvom
  • Jewelcrafting - Blackjim
  • Enchanting - Korpse
  • Inscription - unassigned
  • Blacksmithing - Horrigan
  • Tailoring - Glaeder
  • Leatherworking - unassigned

Our class leads provide help and guidance to other members. Profession leads are expected to provide enchants to guild members, at no labor cost.

All Members: See you in Lich King

Or we won't see you at all.

At the meeting Horrigan discussed his most recent email. In it, he explains the decision that all members need to make when Lich King is released. Essentially: those who are still hanging the forums and TeamSpeak need to either play WoW, or go elsewhere.

Here is a part of the email Horrigan sent out to all members, past and current:

The Enclave is no longer on a hiatus, we haven't been for awhile. The Enclave is no longer playing "hold over" games. The Enclave is no longer waiting for "the next big thing" - The Enclave is in a game, and, has been for quite some time. We're still in World of WarCraft, over a year ago when Burning Crusade came out people cried that we'd fail in months, we're still here. People say "We'll see you in the next game!" - Well, it's coming. If you truly believe in The Enclave, our history, our tradition, everything we stand for you will play with us in WoTLK (Our next game).

I've never took a stand like this but I will now. Any member who does not play WoTLK might as well never come around again. You will not be accepted nor wanted. I tire of the "fair weather" members who are only around to ride on the coat tails, I tire of the members who claim to be "100% Enclave" but only appear to be so in lip service and not actual service. Not only do I tire of this but our current, active membership does as well. WoTLK is the "next big thing" - Either you're on board for something great with the Enclave or you never show up again. This is the true test of loyalty, the true display of commitment and conviction. This is the true test that will show wether or not our members really enjoy, love, and respect the Enclave, or just enjoy the fame and glory that comes with being a part of it. Keep in mind that the Enclave is built upon its members and the strength of its members, if our membership is weak, the Enclave is weak, if our membership is strong, the Enclave is strong. Love or hate the game, your love and respect for the establishment of the Enclave should be more than enough to keep you fighting along side us.

So there you have it, from Horrigan himself.

Obviously, as the Burning Crusade expansion winds up, the guild has shifted focus onto helping members level alts and, for some, their first character. If you wish to remain in The Enclave though, you should be looking to be in WoW as early as possible once Lich King is released, and you are of course welcome to rejoin us at any time until then (especially if you need to get your first 70 levelled up).

Meeting & World PvP

Today's meeting reaffirmed our commitment to 25man PvE in Lich King. Although we will be focusing on PvP for the remainder of this expansion, there is still interest in a ZA group.

The catastrophe, Warhammer, has been completely written off. Barring an act of God, we won't be playing that game seriously as a guild, nor any other condensation-ware game, as we focus completely on the upcoming release of Lich King.

After the meeting, we went out to provoke the Horde. Their defense of Ogrimmar showed great spirit, which pleased us. On Tortheldrin, the Horde eventually gave up trying to fight, despite a massive population advantage, so this was much better:

15th July 2008: Transfer Day

See you on the beach

Today the guild has officially transferred to the Andorhal server. All members should move there as soon as possible.

The community on Andorhal is definitely something, so we should have a blast.

The Enclave is transferring to Andorhal

After the meeting today, we have decided to leave Tortheldrin and move to Andorhal. Andorhal is a medium population east coast PvP server (located on an actual east coast server!) in a better battlegroup.

All guild members are encouraged to move to the new server on 15th July, which is to be our official transfer date. Horrigan will be handling the logistics of moving the bank contents across to the new server.

Members who missed the meeting can find a recording in our private forums.
