After lots of hard work, and a little sketchy Russian strategy implementation I am proud to say heroic Council is down! This was not an easy fight, requiring tons of delicate timing, exact DPS application and tons of raid healing. The heroics have definitely stepped up a notch, and I am glad to see we are stepping up with them! Looking to seeing what is next in the Throne of Thunder!
Another great raid week is in the books with Iron Qon falling to our team. Momentum is high as we focus our efforts and try and knock out a few heroic bosses earlier in the instance! 
While our website updates may have been a bit lacking lately, our progression certainly hasn’t! After an easy clear of normal modes we have been steadily progressing the last few weeks taking out the heroic versions of Jin’rokh, Horridon, Ji’Kun, and Tortos. Our momentum is high, so expect to see new boss kills coming shortly.
We are also recruiting!
To say we cut it close is an understatement. In the last 5 minutes of the last night of T14 we downed Heroic Grand Empress Shek’zeer, earning us the cutting edge Feat of Strength and capping off what was a great and eventful tier for us!
We finished out a very respectable 13/16, putting us at number 11 on our new improved server and around 350 in the US. We completely cleared heroic Mogu’shan and Heroic Heart of Fear, and had a lot of fun on the way.
Now that we are fully settled on our new server, and benifiting from the great new recruits we found here, I feel like we can go full steam ahead into the Throne of Thunder and have an even better showing in Tier 15. I can’t wait!

It’s been a little while since the site has been updated, but that hasn’t stopped the boss kills from coming! Our momentum couldn’t be stronger as we killed the heroic versions of Lei Shi, Mel’jarak, and Garalon in the last two weeks! That puts us at H10/16, with the last few bosses in our sights. Expect to see more bosses coming soon as we do our best to finish this tier strong and prepare for the next.
Our new server is treating us well, and with a fresh crop of recruits we are pushing progression even faster than before! This week we managed a full clear of the heroic Mogu’shan vaults, defeating heroic Will of the Emperor after very few attempts.
We have every intention of carrying our momentum forward, so expect a few more heroic bosses to meet their end in the coming weeks!
To say the last month has been busy would be an understatement! TRG finally took the leap and moved to our new home on Sargeras. We couldn’t be happier with the server, the community we found, and the new wave of qualified applicants.
In the middle of all that we managed to down heroic Blade Lord Ta’yak and the heroic Spirit Kings!
Things are full speed ahead as we continue to progress on new bosses, welcome some new faces to our roster, and do what we do best… have fun. 2013 is off to a great start, can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!

It has been a busy few weeks in TRG and our front page is in major need of updating!
The new kills are coming fast for our raid group! New normal modes were released and quickly cleared. They posed little challenge, earning us alliance first Grand Empress Shek’zeer kill and alliance first Sha of Fear shortly after. With normal mode out of the way we dove back into Mogu’shan getting the alliance first Gara’jal kills and alliance first Elegon in the same week.
If that wasn’t enough, a group of our raiders put in some overtime and score the very impressive alliance first Gold Challenge mode, clearing all challenge modes with a gold rating! They also scored some super shiny armor in the process. Huge grats guys!!
We really hope to keep up this momentum as push forward and work on what the future will hold for our guild. Screenshots and Videos Below!

The time has finally arrived and TRG has driven straight into The Mists of Pandaria and the Mogu’shan Vaults! After a few minor stumbles out of the gate, we have hit our stride quickly clearing normal MSV and are already downing Heroic Stone Guard and Heroic Feng the Accursed!
Below you will find screenshots and a link to our Stone Guard Video:

TRG finished it’s exploits in the Heroic Dragon Soul last night, going 8/8HM, defeating the Madness of Deathwing, and wrapping up this expansion.
While the final battle was a bit anticlimactic, we still had a great time in the Dragon Soul and look forward to what Mists of Pandaria has to offer!
It’s been a long journey since those first wipes on Omnitron Defense System over 15 months ago. We have survived the transition from 25-man to 10-man and back again (then back again), made lots of new friends, killed lots of new bosses, and ultimately ended up having a lot of fun in the process. Big thanks to the to those who stuck with us, those who moved on but helped us along the way, and those who supported us from the sidelines. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Despite any drama or concerns over the state of our server or the game in general we ended this expansion the way we started it: as a group of close friends who love spending a few nights a week together slaying digital dragons, sharing some laughs, and from time to time… riding roller coasters and getting drunk at the Bubba Gump shrimp company.
It’s been a blast! See you all in Pandaria!
