It's been a long work in progress but I finally got the pattern to make the Sandstone Drake on Etsu; archaeology dig sites couldn't take my furious farming anymore.  I'm offering the drake to people but not without cost.  The mats can be farmed but one thing I'm unable to provide is gold.  The vendor mats cost 26,100 gold!  There's a post on the forums that I'm using to track interest and a spreadsheet that details the mats involved in creating this awesome mount.  

Using guild funds to offset the cost is possible however.  We need to increase the current activity.  Doing the all the scenarios and heroics yields ~5,000 gold per week.  Doing all the guild weekly activity generates ~10,000 gold... maybe one day.

Many of you who were following the site were primed for a move months ago and you're likely scratching your heads wondering what happened--two things: finding a server and my orders in flux.  Shortly before I was to initiate the transfer it became apparent that there really wasn't a good server candidate.  All the servers were either highly populated (meaning long server queues), unbalanced horde v alliance ratios, and/or server communities that weren't quite in sync with our goal of truly a laid-back get things done (GTD) social mentality.

Perhaps the bigger issue though was if I server transferred the guild to Tich, Korgath, Darkspear or any of the mentioned candidates and then disappeared that would be unacceptable.  If the guild is asking you to spend money to server transfer we need to be damn sure we're going to a better place.  Josh, Chalas and others made me realize the server candidates all were lacking in one way or another.  Ultimately, it didn't feel right to ask you to spend money to transfer and then for me potentially disappear.

So we are still on Dragonmaw, there are four to six of us active.  It's a reversal from where we used to be but for now this is what we got.  I wanted to tell everyone what happened and why the lull.   If you do you find yourself returning we're still in the same place... you know where to find us and I'll be holding the fort down.

Thanks,

Normally I don't post media things myself, but this time, I'll make an exception, seeing as the application to join the guild features two characters from this game. Below is a just a straight copy and paste from the e-mail I received:

UPDATE: Move postponed, please follow the link at the bottom of this article.

Here is the final server selection: Tichondrius, Korgath and Bleeding Hollow.  The plan is to move by Wednesday, January 30th.

• Dragonmaw is currently ranked 58 and it's realm population is medium.  It is a PST realm located in Los Angeles.
• Tichondrius is ranked 3rd on WoW Progress.  It is known as a hardcore PvP realm.  If you want to PvP this is the place.  It is PST and the server is located in Los Angeles.  The negative is that this realm is full and there will be queues to login.
• Korgath, 8th on WoW Progress, has an auction house full of rare mounts :).  PvP seems good here as well and the balance is fairly even.  It is located in Chicago and the server is Central time (+2 hours ahead of PST).  Population is High so queues should be nonexistent but possible.
• Bleeding Hollow is another good realm as both sides are active.  It is located in Chicago and Eastern time (+3 hours ahead of PST).  Population is High so queues should be nonexistent but possible; it's rate 18th.

Tichondrius overall looks good but it is uncertain if we can actually transfer.  Blizzard's conditions for allowing transfers is the server can't be "over populated."  

I'm investigating Sargeras now.  The server is CST but with cross-realm zones everything is PST.  The server is physically located in Chicago which is good in terms of being able to accommodate players on both coasts..  We have members from every corner of the US and Hawaii!  Plus the occasional Aussie (Tenoc).  In addition, Sargeras hosts a guild from Reddit, Alliance side.  This should give us another good community to PvP against at the least.

I'm leveling a monk there and I'll post in the forums as I figure it out.  We might do another PvP event... but leveling is not fun and soon enough we'll all be in that boat :)
