Well, it's finally done. Ulduar(25) cleared. It's been a long, and interesting road. With our first Flame Leviathan kill the week after 3.1 was released, it could be said that we've had more than our fair share of struggles with the Prison of Yogg-Saron. Or, as Ono put it, .

The Lag Narwhal did indeed play a very large role in the problems we faced throughout this instance. Indeed, there were times when the prospects of other guilds threatened to tear the Pancakes apart.

But, through all the ups and downs, we have persevered and come out on top. That's not to say that we didn't learn a few things along the way, both about ourselves and the game. Allow me to show some examples.

"BUT TOAST," you're asking (I can see it in your eyes), "WUT IS WE GONAN DU NAO, YOGGY BAER ES DED LOL!" That's a good question. Our focuses now turn in two different directions, to be honest. For the longest time, we've had Yogg in the back of our minds, always there, but never really able to be trounced by the various members of Pancakes.

As the weeks and months roll by, and we steel ourselves for the upcoming Fall of the Lich King (aka 3.3, yes that's its name), prepare to see two different directions as we move forward.

• Ulduar Hard Modes (ultimately culminating in Algalon the Observer, by far the most beautiful encounter this game has yet to offer)

• Trial of the Grand Crusader, one of the most familiar and yet vastly more challenging instances we'll be facing in the immediate future.

I won't lie to you: We've reached a stage in progression where things stop becoming so easy. Encounters are about to become a whole lot harder. As a guild, we will be tested, and I do not doubt for a second that we will pass these tests. Amazing work on Yogg-Saron, let's see some more.

Until next time,
Starcaller Toast Witjam

P.S. Hard modes, depending on what they are, might not get denied anymore. But you gotta be online or we're never going to see them.
