First of all, merry christmas to everyone, hope u had a nice time and a sensible present harvest. I had a great evening myself along with the family, nice food, lots of drinks and nice presents.
Now, to the real stuff this blog is about - Nash is no more horde, I changed back to Alliance which is due to various reasons. Before this choise was final I was a raider of Months Behind and I helped them on their way thru ToC and Icecrown Citadel (except for last boss), but things changed as we progressed and gained loot. Some ppl started to take raiding more serious than others, and some ppl were sad and felt the guild wasnt what it used to be. So, 2 mates of mine and myself decided to pack our stuff real fast and write a goodbye on the guildwebsite - then we changed to Alliance with our fave characters to start on a fresh with new ppl, new guilds and different looking loot.
All in all I think this was for the best, there's nothing worse than destroying a guild due to different understandings of the game, or to sit down and watch the world pass u by while u can look at ur puny Tier 9 items without being close to upgrades.
As things are now, Im waiting for my friends to get home from their christmas holiday trip to Austria so we can get started ingame again - actually we have a potential guild waiting for our applications.
Fusion is the name, the 2nd best alliance guild on Hellfire EU, we tried to get 3 spots in Flinter Spaction who gained serverfirst Algalon25 when I was member of Orbis Tertius, but they didnt need 3 melee raiders.
As things are now, I feel very comfortable with the change. I dont like being a socalled Spacegoat (Draenei), but thats the requirement of changing to alliance from the mighty horde - and in the end, its the gear and personal progress that matters, not the look of the character (giggle).
I hope for the best, and I will wish u all a very lovely and safe Newyears Eve =)
Cheers, Nash the Spacegoat

New Times
Alright, the days of Orbis Tertius are over, atleast as a raiding guild. Its very sad, but Im sure everyone more or less saw it coming as raiding in general (even 10man) appeared more rarely.
I left the guild to join another; Months Behind.
First of all, the name of this guild is great, I love it. Their slogan is: Its never a shame to be months behind, when u succeed in the end.
This is something I can rely to and something I can respect as they want to raid and they are serious while raiding, but still they have an understand a respect for real life (something many bigger raid guilds are missing). Ppl are great and Im having lots of fun already =) Actually, while we are raiding we are ofc using TeamSpeak, but Im sitting on Skype aswell with the leaders even tho Im one of their newest trialists - and in addition our Melee Leader seems to be very satisfied with my dps aswell as tactical knowledge and mobility!
I think my time with Months Behind will me remarkable as I spend more time with them, and who knows, maybe some day I wont just be a regular raiding member =)
So far, we are focusing on ToC10/25, and we currently got 3 of 5 bosses down in ToC10 Hardmode after I joined, which is further than my old guild managed to get. No bad words about OT, they were great indeed, but I believe these guys are just a tick better.
I must admit Im very happy about this change, raiding is now fun again and I find myself coming up with more ideas about how to get more bosses down without as much struggle.
Thank u for opening ur arms for me, I wont let u down!

Too much change?
As u might get from the headline, things have changed, and Im not sure I feel comfortable with it.
Lots of ppl have left as I described in the last post I made, and even more ppl have left since then; We've lost Artfool, Arcx, Onck, Wisqa and more.. Those ppl were great DPS'ers, great Tanks and Healers, but most of all they were all great players and persons.
Artfool made a post on our guildwebsite to break our situation down for ppl as it was, and as I replied to him, it honestly gave me more energy and hope about rebuilding Orbis Tertius - But Im not too sure if I have that energy anymore.. Too often I've experienced to be stuck in a guild filled with friends who kept me from moving on with my own gaming and "life", too often I've let big chances pass my nose due to fake hope and dreams.. Should I still hope and dream about a new, strong Orbis?
To tell u the truth, I dont know anymore.. On one hand, that would be the right thing to do - to stay and fight for new and better times. On the other hand, I shouldn't hold myself back if I get the chance to move on and become even better.
Maybe I have taken too much on my shoulders? Currently Im top DPS in the guild (when my good friend Denmark doesnt beat me :P) and I might aswell be one of the fastest members to move from eventual damagedealing features within an encounter. I expect of myself, everytime we raid, that I show everything Im capable of - I do not hold back even tho it might sometimes be easier and more relaxing. That might be stupid to some of u, but thats how I am, and thats what earns respect, atleast in my book.
Now, dont misunderstand me, ppl are indeed giving me respect even tho I dont demand them to =) Im just not sure I can keep on giving them the Nash they know.
Im burning out, my hopes cracks more and more as I see my friends leave us, it tears me down..
To be honest with u, I dont know what to do.. I have actually been looking at a few guildwebsites to seek changes and to find happiness again in my endgaming. But Im not one of those ppl who just run off when things gets too hard, never been and never will be - so I am deeply in doubt..
Is it too much change, or can Nash survive the dark time we are currently facing? Only time will show..

Great Raiding Tonight
I just wanna thank Orbis for a great set of raids tonight, it has been more fun than it has been for a decent period of time, and in addition we were able to be 25 players online and raiding thanks to 2 new trialists, welcome to both Valantine and Obsidias, may u have a lovely time with us :)
A friend from my Real Life has joined Orbis and makes it alot more fun for me to spend 3x4 hours a week on raids - we laugh and goof around on Skype while listening for instructions on Ventrilo, and to tell u the truth it makes it alot easier for both of us to be able to speak our native language during raids to avoid possible confusion due to several members speaking simultaniously on Ventrilo. Thanks for the fun Acomento, couldnt be more happy to have u along with me :) /hugs
It has especially been some great runs for me tonight, I were so lucky to achieve 4 new pieces of armor within ToC25, sorry to the guys who didnt recieve them.
Here's a little look at what I recieved :)
www.wowhead.com/?item=47472
www.wowhead.com/?item=47282
www.wowhead.com/?item=48365
This one for my PvP collection: www.wowhead.com/?item=42075
The new T9.5 part means that Im now only 1 piece away from having a full set, and 2 pieces from having full Triumph set :)
I have a question for my readers - does any of u know of a website which is able to compare gearlevel on classes on specific servers chosen by the individual? If so, please leave a comment with the url :)
Cheers, Nash

A small loss for Blizzard, a big loss for Orbis Tertius.
As many of you may have experienced, summertime were quite a challenge for the guilds within World of Warcraft, but even so, some ppl stood against the forces of Real Life. These ppl have been using all power they were capable of pulling through the keyboard and mouse to still be able to gather a total of 10/25 enthusiastic raiders, face the strongest challenges with fierce rage, and lead these brave heroes to victory yet again.
As immortal as the heroes seems to be, they are (like everyone else) driven by energy, passion for success and accomplishment. The last 2 desires cannot be drained as it is a way of life, but the first can be drained so much that it will be hard to keep going even for the gods among mankind. Some will be able to renew their strength while others will need to have a rest, or even leave the frontforces in order to, maybe, join the army again.
Many members of Orbis Tertius have renewed their strength, many are having a peaceful rest, but also many have chosen to leave due to Real Life issues and WoW complications.
One of a such member is my brother shaman, Redmist. Some of you might know him, some might not - for those who doesnt, I will give a brief so we're all at same state of history and knowledge.
This brave shaman started out as an Alliance player with endgame raiding before his feet, he had the Light of a Priest and the Speed of a Rogue, but a hidden desire beated within his noble heart. He became a Horde and was later to become a Tauren Shaman, but not just any Shaman, he combined speed aswell as light and became Redmist of Orbis Tertius, the greatest and most kind Shaman I have ever knew in the soon 5 years I have been a part of this game.
He faced more challenges than ever before, he made the most fierce monsters fall on their knees and beg for mercy, all this while standing side by side with the greatest heroes of Azeroth. But the power of Orbis Tertius was soon to fade when ppl decided to have a break from this lovely, virtual world. After a while in the shadows, new recruits joined the army, myself included, and we all took part in getting Orbis back in control of Ulduar and The Collosseum.
The heroes was as newborn with fully renewed strength and an army as strong as Titans, but just as everything seemed perfect, yet again the power was to fade from Orbis Tertius, and several of the most powerful heroes left their brothers for something more suitable for their desire....
So is the story of Redmist, filled with joy and happiness, but also with dissapointment and sadness. He made me who I am, he had the most positive effect on his guildies and friends that I have never seen anything like it, I am indeed sad to see him leave us.
So, Redmist of Orbis Tertius, this post is made in respect and honor to you, everything I have accomplished and faced since your choice, has been a tribute to you as I am the only Enhancement Shaman left to fill your spot. It has been hard, and to tell you the truth I dont believe its possible, but I do my best while I carry your teaching and kind words in my mind while I stand before these challenges.
I bow before you my friend, I hope you will soon come back to us with renewed strength and new desire for accomplishment.
Salute!

New Blog
Hey everyone,
Ive decided to make this blog after some considering. Right now it will appear to be rather empty, but I will change that with time. I will asap be posting interesting stuff inhere (hopefully) for u to check out :)
I am going thru some things in real life atm which prevents me from making this blog brilliant from the very beginning, but I will change that rather fast by making vids about my gaming etc as soon as Im able to do so, hopefully ppl will still have an interest for my stuff.
So far I can give some info about myself, just as a start :)
Well, I play Orc Shaman in World of Warcraft, currently being a proud member of Orbis Tertius on the Hellfire (EU) realm. We're progressing with haste in Ulduar and Trial of the Crusader, doing pretty good to be honest. Personally Ive been playing since December 2004 and was a total noob till the end of The Burning Crusade - after Wrath of the Lichking arrived in stores, my skills and experience has grown alot within this single expansion, along with my selfconfidence ingame. Im aiming to become more than "a very skilled shaman" and this has been my goal since I started leveling my shaman from 70 to 80 - my guild has helped alot with that but especially one person has brought me further than I would ever be able to do myself, a fellow shaman who has taught me everything I know and can do as an Enhancement Shaman. So far, my dps and raiding skill has grown alot, actually my start dps as newding'ed 80 was around 2700 in Ulduar25, but Ive become better with time and now deal 4300+ DPS overall :)
This was a "little" something about me, hopefully it was worth reading :) More will come as I get better time and "gear" for changing this blog into something awesome.
Cheers, Nash
