Hey guys.

Now that I’m active co-leader in wow again (as well as overall lowar gm), I though I resume my old habit of giving you a weekly update on the state of things.

In wow, things are certainly taking a few steps in the right direction. Most guilds have a hard time the last few months before a new expand, and for a while lowar seemed no different. However Hawkfeather managed to recruit a whole group of his real life friends by convincing them to switch servers. At the same time a group of the real life lowar members including myself mysteriously decided to start playing again.

As you should know by now I’ve taken the challenge of handling recruitment. We would like to continue our positive vibe and bring even more good and capable people into lowar, partly because our raiding team can still use a boost with summer coming up. With the return of Ironrooster I feel energized to continue looking for old and new friends to join us.

A few of our raiders have shared their opinions about what could be changed in our raiding efforts with the officer’s corps. Rest assured that we are on it and are currently evaluating our raiding system with those remarks in mind. We will keep you posted on what Idea’s we’ll come up with; we will need your feedback!

As for other games: lowar is currently not supporting guilds in any other game. We are of course keeping track of one MMO, tentatively announced for spring next year, and that is the highly anticipated Knights of the old republic MMO. We are also not forgetting our very online roots and are following the development of Diablo 3 and Star Craft 2. In fact a few of us are already in de SC2 beta. I’ll try to convince those fortunate ones to give us a report soon as there is no NDA.

On the real life games side, things have been calm at best. With some key members being unavailable a lot (Bula just ‘had’ to go to Afghanistan for 6 months) it’s not always possible to get enough people for our Saturday afternoons. This should be better again in the near future though with some new interested people.

Thillio
