Lunacy: A World of Warcraft Guild

More Videos!
11/27/09, 4:15 AM, by Steve (Lilume)

I've uploaded a lot more videos for the video section. The new videos include:

There are still a few videos missing, namely Middori's videos of SWP, but we're almost done with getting our TBC-era videos in place. Sadly, we have no Wrath-era videos. But hopefully that will change at some point when a few of us get new computers (though they likely won't be raid kills). Enjoy these relics from our past, in any case.

Screen Shots and Videos

The raid's dissolution is still fresh. So to further commemorate the end of our hardcore raid, I have posted a series of screen shot montages for the memorial. I have also created a video section for the guild. It includes most of the videos we've ever produced (currently, there are 11 up in the section and hosted on our server). This includes 9 boss kills, and an old Naxx boss being two-manned. The only videos missing so far are Middori's of the last three SWP bosses, Cuppy's of Lurker, and Cuppy's instructional video explaining how to use a ghost on Teron. I'll add those later if I can get them. But one of them might be lost, or the people with them might be too busy to upload.

The memorial's series of montages will be updated as people post or send me their old Lunacy screens. The video section will be on-going. It's off to a good start! Enjoy. =)

RIP, Lunacy Hardcore Raiding v1.0
11/04/09, 5:00 PM, by Steve (Lilume)

Yesterday, I officially declared the demise of Lunacy's current hardcore raid. With the departure of several members and a leadership vacuum created by the departure of the person who was supposed to take over, we can no longer continue raiding in the same capacity. This doesn't mean a Lunacy raid won't exist again in the future, it simply means the next incarnation of the raid will be only marginally connected to this one in terms of leadership, intentions, and people.

I've written a memorial for the raid and posted it here. It explains our raiding history and why many of us have stepped away from raiding in a little more detail. But you should know Lunacy as a guild isn't going anywhere. We will still be playing socially and casually.

The raid had a good run in its 33 months of existence. We went from an entirely new guild in Karazhan, to one that got the vast majority of server firsts all the way from Serpentshrine on through the current content.

We perhaps hit our ultimate peak in SWP, particularly during our first kill of Entropius and the farming period we had in SWP before 3.0.

To commemorate this peak, I offer you a few videos. You can download Timewasted's video of our first M'uru kill here, and his video of our first defeat of Kil'jaeden here. You will need a codec pack for playing the files, as they are in MKV format. If you need help with that, please visit Matroska's guides here and click the link for the relevant playback guide. Below is a stream of Ink's Kil'jaeden video.

For clarification, Ink is Australian and the kill happened on August 11th, not November 8th.

Thank you all for supporting us for the past 33 months. And thank you everyone who has ever been a part of this guild. It was you who made the game fucking awesome!

I'll still see everyone around,
--Steve, aka Lilume

P.S. Yes, this means we're no longer recruiting.

Heroic Anub Down

We killed 25-man Anub'arak on heroic this past Thursday. It's nice when a huge pain in the ass drops dead. With that and No Lights in the Darkness down, we can finally say we have all relevant content clear. Until Icecrown is released, of course.

Alone in the Darkness

Having completed Dryade's mace, we decided to extend last week's lockout to finally get some ample time for working on Alone in the Darkness. The result can be seen below.
