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 :)

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!

Nash
