Today is the third year anniversary of the creation of Ronin! We've come along way in the three years, from our creation towards the end of Vanilla when we had a much lower profile in terms of realm progression through to The Burning Crusade where we began our upwards climb, right up until Wrath of the Lich King where we're now heading the progress on Horde-side.

And now for the Award-winning speech on the podium: Special thanks to our members for sticking with us, having faith and of course all important skill and also to our officers for keeping things running and pushing us forward!

CONGRATULATIONS RONIN!

Amazing job everyone, Anub'arak down on hard-mode with 29 tries remaining. It was brilliant to finally get him down after the numerous tactic changes we'd had and wipes due to the disconnect boss. Good work!

Today we successfully completed the 10-man only achievement "Herald of the Titans", which is to defeat Algalon with no member of the raid wearing an item with an item level higher than that which can be obtained in Ulduar 10. We had an odd assortment of gear, including Jerichoz wearing [Red Dragonscale Protector], an ilvl 74 shield from BWL (good job keeping your old shields) - and alot of pvp gear was floating around. It proves though that skill is worth more than gear! Well done, hopefully we can get some more of these runs going in the future.

Well the first real struggle of hardmode 25man Circus went down tonight, was a good old traditional "oh, one last go I guess"-kill, good job everyone and grats on the loot!

Trial of the Crusader  (Twin Valkyrs heroic first kill, extended slightly)  09/14/09 Loot:

Death's Choice -> Cipsy (381 DKP)
Mystifying Charm -> Lemonandlime (114 DKP)
Trophy of the Crusade -> Ania (84 DKP)
Belt of the Pitiless Killer -> Burley (51 DKP)
Pattern: Merlin's Robe -> Gurdor (0 DKP)

Congratulations to Gurdor on getting our 2nd legendary mace, Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings!

Four hours of tries and we killed him, only to find Shayne in the loot box. What a disappointment, oh well. Grats everyone and well done!

Today we managed to complete all the requirements for the 25man Glory of the Ulduar Raider Meta, good job everyone, the drakes look really nice. I'm sure we'll see some more in the next few weeks.

Brilliant job getting this one down, it had been nerfed but those invisible sunbeams added a slightly different challenge. It was quite a close one, but a kills a kill!

About time this happened really, we've been working on this for a few weeks now and had some very silly wipes, so it was good to get him down. The kill itself was very smooth, can't wait to try him on 25man.

Well the Argent Circus finally rolled into town and we were able to go in and face-roll 1-shot the first boss for stupidly high ilevel gear! Hopefully the next bosses will prove more challenging...
