10 player full clear on week one. Realm first Yogg-Saron kill on either normal or heroic. Except for Iron Council, every kill up to Yogg-Saron was also a realm first or Horde first. The progression sites are a little wonky, but as far as we can tell this was a top 100 world kill. Proudmoore Horde is back, bitches. We're on Yogg-Saron in 25 man now as well.

Ulduar is so.much.fun. We've gotten several Fragment of Val'anyr, and logged the following kills on heroic, before all the waves of nerfs:

Server firsts: Flame Leviathon, Ignis, XT-002, Hodir, Freya

Horde firsts: Razorscale, Iron Council, Kologarn, Auriaya (dealing with bugged respawning cats), Thorim, Mimiron, General Vezax

10 man Sartharion + 3 drakes is currently the hardest fight in WoW, and the only fight that requires any thought about class synergies and group makeup. Our first kill centered around caster dps; we're going in soon to get more members their Glory of the Raider achievements and Plagued Proto-Drakes before 3.1 hits. We tried several strats that didn't work, but then switched to a 2-healer, no-portal strategy and one-shotted it. With 72 10-man raid achievements in Ulduar, we're hoping for many more fights like this one. Grats to Kyan on Taint's first Black Drake.

Since the release of Wrath, Taint Invaders has meandered through the initial content at a respectable, but not competitive, pace. That's changing in the last several weeks of the initial content and in Ulduar: TI is turning into a progression raid. We've increased our expectations tenfold of both the members and the leaders, reorganized our roster, and successfully recruited talented and experienced players from Proudmoore and other servers. Many of our members have previous "hardcore" raiding experience, so the changes came quickly. We've since zerged through most of the hard mode (in fact, laughably easy) achievements -- the only big one remaining is Immortal (missed by a hair due to a KT death) -- and we are preparing for a fast push through Ulduar's easy and hard modes (all 72 achievements on both normal and heroic).

We continue to recruit LGBT-friendly exceptional players of all classes. See our recruiting page for details.

This one was silly in March gear, so we were surprised to see that our kill was a Horde-side first on Proudmoore. A few days later we went back in to get 6-minute Malygos (10 man), another Proudmoore Horde first.

After a period of reorganization, we're back to progression. We went into Sarth with his 3 drakes... he kinda fell over. Grats to Defrocked on Taint's first Twilight Drake.
