THE BALANCE CRUSADE!

[Grizzly]

There it is! Illidowned!
I'm sitting here late at night, several hours after the Legendary and mighty Lore character Illidan Stormrage - The Betrayer - thinking what could be worthy to write. In truth nothing might be worthy to type here.
This might actually be the first time where I find it hard to express how much this boss meant to us and the whole raiding community.

We've worked really hard for this bossfight and really brought the outmost of ourselves, in both patience, understanding and most of all soul. This bossfight is truely legendary allthough it may not be the hardest we've done in our raiding history or even in TBC, this is still the pinacle of our raiding together with all the other endinstance bosses. Illidan has 5 wicked phases all except for the first one is easy. There is so much you can wipe on and so much damage that your healers need to be tip top for 20mins and more. Peeps won't understand what an accomplishment this is until they've tried it themselves. Legendary!



The Balance Crusade, ahh yes. I mentioned it and I will hold to that claim. This expansion we proved that old school guilds still have what it takes allthough we don't raid the longest or the most, quality raiding is really what it's all about. With Illidan down, we cleared Black Temple all server firsts yet again which puts SSC, TK, Hyjal Summit and lastly the Black Temple all under Balance server firsts from first boss to last! This is an achievement of Nihilum class for our server and EVERY single Balancian should be proud of this achievement as this may and will be for some the best they will ever have done in their WoW-life. I wonder what else we can strive for now?

As I think back of this instance I'm really glad I got to finish it. This instance was really fun to clear in comparrison to say Hyjal and blizzard really showed that bossfights can either be very simple like the Shade of Akama one or extremely hard like RoS, Mother Shahraz and ofc Illidan Stormrage. I have to say that I'm most pleased nay proud over the Black Temple because this has most certainly been the best instance out of all in TBC. It's both with delight and sadness that I proclaim TBC on farm, until the Sunwell comes out.

For once we actually got pretty good loots from an end instance boss. 2 weapons and nice tokens. Can't complain much there allthough no legendary, =P but atleast there is great hope for that with 2 weapons as first loots.



Lastly before I get too muushy, I wanted to extend this post by dedicating this fine achievement to all the peeps of Balance. I want to thank you all for sticking up for me even though it got rough a few times. Basically what I'm trying to say is thanks for beeing there and continuing with my constant pressure and nagging, doing all that I demanded so we could stand here today all nice and tidy in front of Illidan. And I'm sorry if I hurt a few toes on the way doing it aswell. One more thing, yes I`ll try to let this be the last one. I also want to thank all Balance Veterans still in the game. Thanks to you all guys and you know who you are, you made me stick to this game so long aswell as others too naturally, but some have been supporting me for a LONG time and I couldn't have done this without you guys. I'm glad you were all here by my side when this boss went down. It has been a great honor serving with you guys! You have my respect!

You are truely BALANCIANS all of you!

And yes there will be a movie out as soon as we finish it ofc!

Bring out your tractors boys and girls, it's farming time!
