Maybe it would’ve been more fitting to start this diary tomorrow - Wrath of the Lich King and all. But I decided to move my WoW-blog here, since readers of my regular blog couldn’t care less about it, and today I am sad and feel like moaning.

A couple of months ago, we were a happy guild which had managed, despite being halfway between social and hardcore, to get into Black Temple and kill a couple of bosses. Now, since Kael was so difficult, we skipped him and left him for later - the idea being we’d come back just before Wrath to finish him off and get the title for every one.

Then guild drama ensued (I’m saving the bitter comments on backstabbers and the like), and after Kael finally died (on a run I couldn’t join) the guild tore apart, with most of the core raiders creating a new one.

Where did this leave Jen? On holiday, without the title and bewildered when she came back to find the place in pieces. I was pissed off (I still am, when I think about it), but I got over the social bit. No one’s forcing anyone to stay and if you feel another guild would be better for you, all right. It’s not like we were lifelong friends, and I still chat to the people I was closer to.

But why did you have to do it then and screw up my chances of having fun at the end of TBC? Yes, I am a selfish bitch.

We did manage to bring the guild back to life, despite the awful situation it was left in. We recruited a bunch of lovely people and started raiding again (after the nerf). We did very well considering the fact that most people weren’t very well geared.

And we took Kael to 2%.

Then, on the last day of possible attempts (i.e. the day before Wrath), most of the healers were busy. No healers, no run. No run, no dead Kael. And no title for me. (If you had the Vials quest in your log before the nerf, you could still get it if you killed the right people.)

I have a problem with this title, I know. It wouldn’t mean the same thing after the nerf. But I bloody deserve it, I wiped for Vashj and killed her, and I wiped for Kael and if it wasn’t for some… *ahem* person I would’ve been there for the second kill and gotten the title.

Now… not any more. We’ll all be on our way to level 80 and discovering new places to wipe in. Downing Kael would’ve been a great end to TBC (he’s very difficult even after the nerf), but it’s just not going to happen.

I’m drowning my sorrow in making money by selling pets on the AH. (Thank you Blizzard for the achievement.) Hey, I’m going to be a fail warrior without a title, but at least I’ll be rich!
