Day 32 of the world tour is up for your consumption.  In this episode our traveling band runs into some legal trouble and has to choose between their traditional methods for resolving disputes or finding justice within the Alliance courts.  You can guess how that went, but here's an excerpt to whet your appetite:

This past month has seen some real landmarks for us as a raid as we transition into the last of the oritinal raid content for Burning Crusade.  We've mastered Vashj, been working on Kael, worked on an ORB (Kazzak) and made our first stab at Hyjal.  It's an exciting time for everyone on the Anvil team and I'm thrilled that we get to conquer this content together.

We're not finished though!  We have a goal in sight, and meeting it will be the most challenging thing this team has ever done.  So in order to help us along with that process we have updated the raid schedule.  None of the days and times are changing, but we are re-arranging the instances to fit our priorities for this transition period.  As such we will be looking at TK and the Kael'thas fight on both Thursday and Friday and we will use our Sunday raid time to work our way through the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

Remember that you can check our raid schedule here on the site anytime you need a refresher, and that our stats from recent raids are always posted through WWS.

Thanks again for your commitment to The Anvil!

Now that the BETA for the Wrath of the Lich King has gone live, the NDA from Alpha is lifted and the news can finally be told: Several of your friends and teammates have been hiding a dark secret for the past few months and were playing in Northrend behind your back!  At last count The Anvil has at least five of its members in the LK Beta, and now that the NDA is off, we can share some of our experiences.

To that end we've created a new Album in our Gallery for screenshots from WotLK, and I have already uploaded a handful of shots from around Northrend.  If you would like to include some screenshots of your own, just PM me on the forums or catch me on Vent and we'll get a user account set up for you asap so you can share your journeys with everyone as well!

We have also started a thread in the City Gate so that you can ask questions and get info from those lucky bastards whose accounts you'd like to hack right about now.  So swing by and start harassing them!

See you on the (Northern!) field,

-M
