Depth Guild // Alliance // Blackrock

It was four years today that the guild was formed on Blackrock. It has been an interesting four years and I am hoping that the guild carries on for yet another year.

We have all seen our share of ups and downs, but the guild has always pressed on. Thank you to all who have made the last 4 years memorable. The guild looks very different after 4 years and most of the guild would not even remember the days of WoW classic.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Depth!

Depth runs Blackwing Lair, AQ40 and Onyxia on a regular basis and quite a few items are on DE/ROT.  If you are interested in attending a run and paying gold for an item, contact Marcus in-game or on the forums.

For raid times and available loot, please see the thread: http://www.depthguild.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5392 on our public forums.

On the 23rd September 2005, Depth was formed by Aurela, myself (Marcus) and Shiggz.  We had the vision of having our own Australian based TZ guild.  I was originally in Eminence and as more and more content came out, I couldn’t raid with a guild which raided in the middle of Aus & US times.  My warrior was in Hitsquad at the time, Aurela’s paladin was also in Hitsquad and Shiggz was in Eminence 2 (Hitsquad prior to that).

Most of the foundation members consisted of guildies from a guild called Nightwatch which was run by Azz/Azzer/Azzler/….. etc etc.  Since that day, we’ve accomplished a lot as a guild.  Seen our share of people coming and going, including Shiggz.  Seen our share of eDrama (actually more than our share).

At the start, our main tank was Xarg, who left to form his own guild with IRL friends.  After this, I took on the role as Main Tank.  Ever since then, I’ve been waiting for those god damn bindings to drop and finally after running Molten Core for approx 10 months, Baron dropped one.  About a month later, Garr dropped the other.  Secro from Southern Cross got his a week before me and Xarg got his a week after me.  Congratulations go out to both of you.  Here is a SS of my ugly mug with Thunderfury (with the Vertex Shading off XARG!!)

I pretty much wanted all of this update to happen last weekend.  I wanted it to happen for when we kill(ed) C’Thun but I regret to inform that it has not happened yet.  We got close a couple of weeks back and got him to 23%.  Last week was pretty much a waste and we did not improve.  Spirits have been pretty low so I put the call out that we would be going into Naxx Sunday night instead of attempting C’Thun.  Much to my surprise, we actually had 40 people attuned and we entered Naxx by ourselves.  We had previously run very successful joint runs with Southern Cross.  Unfortunately, Emps and C’Thun came a priority for us as it did for them also so Naxx has been on the back burner until now.  We ventured in last night and clocked our first Razuvious Kill in a Depth only raid.

Hardly worth posting about as he is pretty easy but I had to put something up!!!  We also completed the quest for a few people who had previously gone on Southern Cross/Depth combined runs.  Congratulations to Coldkilla on getting his [Sandals of Faith] from a previous Southern Cross run.  Congratulations to those who received items from the first guild only kill:

Marcus: [Dreadnaught Sabatons]
Bexy: [Iblis, Blade of the Fallen Seraph]
Dreweth: [Splinter of Atiesh]

Hopefully kill shot incoming of C’Thun!

Depth Member of the Year Competition 

I also wanted to add that we had a nominations and a poll for the "Depth Member of the Year".  We had a few nominations.  Guild Masters were exempt from this competition although Nero and Dreweth were allowed to be nominated as they had not been Guild Masters for that long. 

The Poll results:
Barik: 6 votes
Crisi: 1 vote
Dreweth: 3 votes
Hunteres: 8 votes
Homelesscat: 4 votes
Lexsor: 8 votes
Nero: 7 votes
Samaria: 6 votes
Tirasaru: 5 votes

The winner(s) were to both receive a World of Warcraft Gamecard for their efforts to the guild.  All people nominated were nominated for various reasons, including "best hair".  Can we all guess who was nominated for that?  Lexsor has elected to take gold instead of the Game Card.  Congratulations to Hunteres on the game card and Lexsor for gold to cover your repairs LoL.  Hunteres and Lexsor also got a trophy:

Depth is currently looking for 2x Druids to join our ranks.  We are working on C’Thun and our druids are a little low.  As soon as C’Thun is down we will be heading to Naxx.  You must be a dedicated raider, able to attend all BWL and AQ40 raids (and eventually Naxx).  If you want to join Depth, please apply on the forums at http://www.depthguild.com/forums.

It has been far too long between updates and a lot of things have happened in the guild of late.  I haven’t had the time of late so I decided to sit down this morning before I jump on WOW and give people the recognition where they need it!

First of all, Depth crafted its first LEGENDARY on 29 June, 2006.  Congratulations go out to Yetaxman for getting [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros].  Special thanks to Lexsor for having the arcanite bars on standby for Yetaxman to use and Methedras for crafting it (not wasting an ingot is good!)

On to dungeons updates.  We got Fankriss down 19 June, 2006.  I was hoping to get Huhu down before this update but have not as of yet.

Good job to all involved in getting Fankriss down.  Also grats to Samaria on getting his [Blessed Qiraji Bulwark].
