Ainx, Part 2

During my escapades in Blackrock Spire, I became acquainted with several fellows whom I deemed to be "on the level." Since my friends from FFXI almost all started flaking, I went ahead and joined a new guild called... Silvermoon Crusaders. In its early stages, SMC was pretty cool. I have fond memories of Lexia and Innovindil, though I hazily remember some drama happening between us after I had parted ways. I didn't stay in SMC too long, because they were not interested in raiding which was the next big thing on my radar. My priest hit level 60, which at the time was max level, and I geared up in UBRS and Dire Maul - a new dungeon released just about the time raiding was getting popular. Shortly after becoming somewhat raid-ready, I left SMC and joined IMB which stood for I'M Bored.

Molten Core with IMB	Onyxia with IMB

IMB was led by a fellow named Latent. While I don't exactly remember how the guild was structured, this was the first guild that I stepped into Molten core with. Through the next few months we cleared Molten Core all through to Ragnaros, the final boss. We spent a month on Ragnaros, but just as we were ready to down him, Latent straight up quit. He took the guild website down, took the forums down and disbanded the guild in the game. Itada was now guildless, though, for just a day. From the ashes of IMB rose Tempest of which I was one of the founding members (as in, I signed the charter)! Other charter members were Luwingo, Maw, Devoid, Naakt, Oni and some others I no longer remember. To inaugurate Tempest's creation, we went into Molten Core and 1-shot Ragnaros. The joy of killing him was quite possibly the biggest and most exhilarating experience I have ever had in World of Warcraft. With Tempest, I cleared Zul'Gurub, went on to clear Blackwing Lair and finally break into Ahn'Qiraj. Not much to say there other than we had an excellent run. I learned a lot about raiding, about being a priest in a raid and about how awful melee classes were in raids. From time to time I would bring Medea in to raid if there were too many healers online and not enough DPS, but only if I absolutely had to!

Ragnaros down! Tempest.	Nefarian down! Tempest.

Throughout my journey with Itada, I made friends on Horde side with some of the folks in Temporary Insanity, the leading Horde guild on Kilrogg. I leveled up a mage named Lem and played with TI's alt crew in Zul'Gurub.
