Ladies and gentlemen, Deathwing the Destroyer has been destroyed. We did it! We kicked dragon butt! We took him out! We... well, you get the idea. Congrats to another milestone in the history of Vintage!

I guess it's safe to say that we know how to roll.

Drumroll please... For the glorious return of Vintage!

Yep, we took a small break from raiding. Real life and other stuff got in the way. It happens, you know. The doctor told me it's nothing to worry about.

Last night, Vintage rocked up and kicked ass like we never left Azeroth and downed Warmaster Blackhorn and his merry band of swashbuckling dragonriders. Our first attempts at poking Deathwing in the ribs turned into a glorious display of aerobatics (before we all fell off, that is), but he's going down soon!

Have you ever noticed that the bigger the boss, the smaller the lootbox appears to be? Or is that just me?

Anyway.

Ultraxion down! Down! Down! Onwards to Lootship 2.0!

Now, I don't know about you, but this lady was a lot of huff and puff and not actually a lot of storm. Needless to say, we blew her off the platform. Onwards to the Big Giant Purple Dragon In The Sky it is!

I mean, look at that mess, blood and guts everywhere and all of a sudden we're 3/8 and counting!And because I owe you all a fresh bout of my unbelievably bad sense of humour, have an image.

See, this is what happens when your raid members don't want to take a killshot picture because, and I quote, 'our resident picturetaker wasn't in the raid!'. Here you go, stickfigure guildies. Grats on the kill!

Nope, that did not make a lot of sense. But it got your attention, didn't it?

Oh, really? The pretty pictures are what pulled you in? Meh. I'll let them speak for themselves then.

Now that we've got that out of our system.... There's only one thing left to do. The inevitable we were talking about earlier. See? I knew this post was going to make sense after all! And that one thing... Well..

It would seem that all you need to get past the gatekeeper is some shiney distractions to keep his hands busy while you stab him in the back. Adorable little pushover, he is.

We kill everything on sight!

Well, not everything. Not unless we have to. And really, a spider that big, she was just asking for it.

Although I still think we should have tried the tactic involving a massive rolled-up newspaper and some fuzzy slippers, but we got her down anyway.

And then... and then... We were on a roll! So we steamed on over to where Lord Rhyolith was hiding out, put some shoulder into it, and pushed him right over. Him and his burning streaks of fire..

Really now, when you're calling yourself the 'kennel master' of The Firelands, you'd think that your dogs would have learned some manners. Now we had to do it for you. What kind of beast master are you, anyway?

Now, an organised person would have posted these updates on our raid kills separately, preferably right after the kills were made. But since I don't think we have such an organised person in Vintage, you'll have to make do with me! Let's separate this post into two, shall we.

On June 14, we got our act together and downed the Twilight Ascendant Council.

While we had a number of wipes in the less-than-5%-bracket, we finally got the council down, resulting in a rather disappointing kill-shot as all that's left of Captain Planet... is a ring. Typical.

Then another week passed in which computer- and airport problems stopped us from progressing on and killing Cho'Gall.

But we got him, in the end. On Thursday, June 30, 1 day into 4.2, we got him.

With quite a lot of time left until the raid ended, as well. So we hopped on our drakes, moved over to Blackwing Descent, squashed everything in our sight, and downed Chimaeron on our first attempt.

So. Yeah, mage with the map. Where to next? Firelands, you say? Who knows...

Oops! Seems like a certain someone had a little brainfart and forgot to broadcast the latest Vintage kill to the world! Bad me! Bad!

We put an end (at least until the next reset) to the tag-team action Valiona and her fabulous brother Theralion had going on in that purple room of theirs, and are already well on our way to kicking some Captain Planet Twilight Ascendant Council butt!

While not strictly World of warcraft related, this news was too good to pass on.

Emily Hannah was born on June 1th at 19:30 island o'clock as a daughter of Colin (kalaphain in game) and Karin.
She clocked in at a weight of 6lb 15 oz (about 3,14 kg).

On behalf of Vintage I would like to congratulate the parents and welcome the little one to our world.
Live every day like it's an adventure, and let nobody tell you something is impossible.

Yeah, us! Put your raiding pants (or skirts, your choice) on and join our ranks, oh tanks and healers of Turalyon!

We're looking for healers that can not only heal someone back to 100%, but improve their health, cure their bad breath, clip their toenails and extend their life expectancy all in one move without so much as displacing a hair on their head.

We're also looking for tanks that can take a fair beating without toppling over at the first sucker punch and whose sole purpose of life (on Azeroth) is to bravely step forward and sling insults at the biggest raidboss they can find.

Are you older than 18, able to lick a window on both sides without letting your elbows touch, and available on our raidnights (Tuesday/Wednesday/(offnight Sunday) from 2100-2400 server)? Then what are you waiting for, get your butt over to our application form and apply!

It's been aaaaaaaaages since our Lich King kill, and even though we're still very proud, it's about time for it to make room for something new! Out with the (c)old, make room for new things to kill!

Magmaw was the first raidboss (of an actual raid) to bite the dust. Literally, as he (or is it a she? Has anyone bothered to look under the lava yet? While they were swimming with the lavafishies? I mean, it flails its paws and dances and everything, it might just as well be a girl lava worm.) went face down on the stones. He gave us a bit of trouble, but we managed to down the big guy. There was much rejoicing.

The Omnotron Defense System was next on our list. They put up a fight. A big fight, even. A fight with pointy bits and things that exploded and made people sparkly. But despite all their efforts, they went down anyway.

Logic told us that the next boss on our to-kill list was Halfus, the big oaf and his dragons. We made our way to the Twilight Highlands, buffed up, squished some pesky trashpulls under our feet, and ran face-first into Halfus, hoping to push him off the platform. Alas, the first two kills, we failed to do so. Halfus, on the other hand, managed to punt several players into the lava. Then came attempt number 3, and we sent Halfus to his maker. Or his heads to Cho'Gall. You decide.

So that's 3! Vintage is officially on its way to swat the evil-doers of this expansion like the annoying, loud, bug-like, flamey dudes and dudettes they are!

And number 4? Well...

A picture says more than a thousand words, so how many words is a 15 minute video?

Byebye, Sindy! Your annoying voice acting will haunt us no longer!

In an amazing, epic fight, that ended in excited screaming on Vent (I should start recording that stuff), Vintage downed the mother of all annoying wyrms and celebrated by taking a few stabs at the Lich King himself. He's next. Trust me. He's going down.

Vintage has been alive and kicking for more than a year now. In that time the guild has grown from a small group of friends, to a slightly larger group of friends. While we had guild rules in the past, they were a bit outdated, and got "lost" in the transition to the new website. The new guild rules are mostly rules that were already in place but were never put in writing, with 2 exceptions.

1: Guild bank access is now restricted to people with an authenticator.
We have had a few hacked accounts during the lifespan of Vintage, resulting in an empty guildbank. While we can't force people to protect their account, this is our way of suggesting you should get an authenticator. If you have trouble finding how to get one, get in touch with one of the officers.

2: The introduction of a raiding rank.
Raiding with vintage will always be open for everyone. However, we do have a core group of raiders. These will get priority for progression content, but will have to make sure they announce if they are available or not in advance. This way, the raidleader will be able to decide if the raid will be cancelled or not in advance, which makes everyone's life easier.

Make sure you've read the guild rules (and sign the topic stating you did so)

without further ado: The guild rules

Got Valithria down! Eh, up. Really easy fight, once you know what you're doing. Or which abilities you're actually using. Who would have known that using the right rank of Holy light would make all the difference?

Must be said though, the lady is quite the ungrateful bitch. See what she left behind? Just a puff of smoke. How's a guild supposed to make nifty first kill-screenshots without a decent body in the background?!

Cheesy bosses deserve cheesy newsitem-titles, don't you think?

After AAAAAGES and AAAAAGES of wiping on the bastard, Professor Putricide is finally done slinging slime and blowing up nasty farts at us. Because we killed him. And spit on his corpse afterwards.

What? He deserved it!

Byebye, Blood Queen. That'll teach you not to suck on strange people's necks without permission!

In an epic battle, with time running out and people going at eachother's throats like delirious Twihards, Vintage finally got Blood Queen Lana'Thel/Lalalanel/Lathaniel/Bloodsucking Bitch down. Good job, people!

Next up: Putricide.

Welcome

First off, welcome to the new website. While it's not completely done yet, we felt it was ready enough to go live and finish the last parts in the next couple of days. Mostly this means background stuff which most of you won't see anyway, so I'm not too worried about that. However, the calendar isn't finished either, so for the time being, just whisper the raidleader responsible for the night you want to sign for (being me for thursday April
1th and Rob for sunday April 4th).

Forum

Because we decided to start from scratch, everone needs to register on the forum. I know, that sucks.
But it'll be worth it. Trust me.

Vent
As the old ventserver was a combodeal with our old website, we also have a new ventserver.
If you're signed into the site, the ventdetails will be on the frontpage. So go sign up now.
