This evening marked a hallmark in BoF history where we managed to have a record 9 members on and able to participate in our first level 80 10 man raid : Naxxramas!
Naxxramas is an introductory level-80 raid dungeon floating above Dragonblight in Northrend. It is a Scourge necropolis, the seat of the lich Kel’Thuzad.
The original incarnation of the dungeon was regarded as the most difficult pre-Burning Crusade raid, requiring 40 well-equipped players to complete. In the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion, Naxxramas was moved to Northrend and retuned as an entry-level raid dungeon for level 80 players. Like all other Wrath raid dungeons, Naxxramas has both 10-man and 25-man versions.
In true foolish style we jumped in 9 strong with amusing results. We made it to the 2nd boss – Heigan the Unclean, A Necromancer specialized in diseases and dancing. At which point we run out of time to try different tactics, however we were now aware that BoF’s foray into raiding isn’t quite going to be the walk in the park that some may have thought (in comparision to the heroics we have been completing on a regular basis !)
Anyway – with eyes now open and egos now in check we all look forward to tackling it again with the full 10 in attendance and seeing how far we get. For me this is when the really interesting work begins as a healer. Can’t wait !
Cheers !

Okay I’ve had the numbers back from members who wish to continue using the team’s Ventrilo server for the next twelve months. I can therefore calculate the cost per user.
The cost will be £2.31 for period 26/06/2010 to 25/06/2011.
I have included a PayPal button on the end of the post so you can make payment. As I mentioned payment via PayPal is free when you use your PayPal balance or your bank account linked to your PayPal account. PayPal charge 3.4% + £0.20 GBP for debit or credit card payments (either the sender or recipient can pay this fee – I will not be covering this cost so will expect the sender to pickup this charge). The PayPal charge if you do choose to pay via credit or debit card is about £0.28.
Team members have until Sunday 4th July 2010 to pay their subscription. After this date any members who’ve not paid their subs will have their access to the Ventrilo server removed.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Kind Regards
Edge
