After over a month of frustration in The Plagueworks, we finally had a night of victory!

Congrats to everyone on our first Plagueworks boss kill!  Thank you all for your patience and for keeping your minds cool and focused in the face of wipe-nights.  And grats to Jules and Orl on getting the first Plagueworks loot!

In their first night in ICC, the Dirty Dozen are able to defeat Lord Morrowgar after a number of attempts.  We moved on to Lady Deathwhisper, but did not have enough time to work out the strategy for defeating her.  Well done to everyone for a success on the first night.

Last night, the Dirty Dozen not only completely cleared ToCr for the first time, but did it in a single night.  Congratulations to all those who attended for some great teamwork.

Great job to the Rio Lobos Team for downing Kel Thuzuad. after 5 weeks of trying to get to him we finally can say he is down and out. I would like to thank All the OoDs and Stand-ins as we have had a number of illnesses and other problems in this journey. please check forums for Updates to the raid and I will send out a invitation to all members ( both stand-ins and regulars ). once again I just want to say thanks for letting me lead you through and and Grats to a job well done.

The 3.3 patch notes are in the forums thanks to Magnel.  There are a lot of changes to classes, skills, etc.  One of the most interesting additions is a random dungeon finder (press "i" to bring up the interface).  Using this, I was able to PUG 3 heroics in a couple of hours, gaining nearly 20 triumph badges.

In addition, the daily heroics have been replaced with raid quests which award 5 frost badges (iLvl 264 gear) and 5 triumph badges!  There is also a Looking for Raid interface (/LFR or the raid tab of the Social interface)  Be aware of your own raid group lockouts, but I strongly encourage folks to give both a try.

This is a great way for everyone to get badges and get some terrific upgrades.  For those not raiding or raiding Naxx, this provides a way to try out or spend some time in Ulduar, Tourney, or other raid instances.

And of course, don't forge to take a visit to Icecrown and meet with Arthas himself.  There is a quest just outside the south bank entrance, but the entrace to the instance area is to the right of Icecrown Citadel if you're coming up the front steps, up on a second level.  There is a summoning stone there.  The first 5-man instance is through the portal to the right and unlocks the second 5-man instance (which is the right portal), which then unlocks the 3rd 5-man instance (center portal).

There will be plenty of guild 5-man PUGs of these, so ask in guild chat and get set up with a group and give it a try!
