It came from the Blog: Running of the Orphans 2013 snapshots

by Robin Torres May 7th 2013 at 12:00PM

Last week, the It came from the Blog family of guilds held its annual Running of the Orphans. As the name suggests, we ran our orphans around, completing the Orgrimmar Children's Week quests.

After we picked up our orphans from the matron, we took the zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Tirisfal Glades. We ran (no mounts, no ports, no summons) to have an audience with Lady Sylvanas in the Undercity. Then we ran back to the zeppelin, making the return trip to Org. Next, since some players did not have the flightpath to Thunder Bluff, we took the zeppelin there (AKA the Love Zeppelin) and ran out to Red Rocks to honor the fallen chieftain. We ran back to town and then took the flightpath right back to Orgrimmar.

It came from the Blog: Join us for the Running of the Orphans 2013

by Robin Torres Apr 30th 2013 at 4:00PM

It's Children's Week, so it must mean it's time for It came from the Blog's annual Running of the Orphans. As the event name says, we get orphans and we run around with them while completing our orphan quests.

When: Friday, May 3 at 10:30 p.m. EDT (7:30 p.m. PDT, 8:30 p.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the pond near the engineering trainer that's next to the orphanage in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde character level 10 or over
How: Ask any member of It came from the Blog for an invite to the guild if you are not already a member of our family of guilds.

You have to be at least level 10, because you can't get an orphan otherwise. We also will not be forming a raid since we need to complete quests. We will have an event chat set up as usual, however.

The pet you get for completing the quest is bind on account and tradeable, so don't let your not being Horde or Zangarmarsh not being your main server stop you from joining us.

Hope to see you there!

Reminder: It came from the Blog's Bar Crawl 2013 is tonight

by Robin Torres Apr 26th 2013 at 3:00PM

Tonight is the night we celebrate It came from the Blog's penchant for virtual boozing.

When: Tonight, April 26 at 10:30 p.m. EDT (7:30 p.m. PDT, 8:30 p.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the inn in the Valley of Strength, Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any character level 10 or above
How: Just ask any It came from the Blog member if you are not already in our family of guilds
What: Visiting bars throughout Azeroth

The two things we usually have in our events are drinking and death. You'll need some cash for buying digital drinks, but I'll buy you some, should you run short.

Mounts are not required as much of the travel will be by mage portals. You will need to be level 10 to join the raid group, however.

We will not be holding cross-realm events for the foreseeable future, so you need to be on Zangarmarsh and you need to be Horde. But keeping a character in our guild means you can always join in our monthly events.

We look forward to seeing you at Bar Crawl 2013!

It came from the Blog: Join us for Bar Crawl 2013

by Robin Torres Apr 24th 2013 at 5:00PM

It's time for this month's It came from the Blog event and we're going to be virtually drinking. Again. This time the excuse is so that we can hit some famous and not-so-famous bars around Azeroth.

We'll begin our journey with Barkeep Morag in Orgrimmar. Here are the details:

When: Friday, April 26 at 10:30 p.m. EDT (7:30 p.m. PDT, 8:30 p.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the inn in the Valley of Strength, Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any character level 10 or above
How: Just ask any It came from the Blog member if you are not already in our family of guilds.
What: Virtual booze, travel, more virtual booze, probably no death -- this time

You should be at least level 10, so that you can join a raid group. You also should have some money for drinking, but I can provide libations for those who are short on cash.

So join us for Bar Crawl 2013! And if you normally play Alliance please create a Horde character and join us anyway. You'll be able to see some places that are new to you and have some fun as well.

Reminder: It came from the Blog's scavenger hunt is tomorrow

by Robin Torres Mar 29th 2013 at 9:00AM

It came from the Blog is having another scavenger hunt and you're all invited.

When: Tomorrow, March 30 at noon EDT (9 a.m. PDT, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the fountain in the Court of the Sun in Silvermoon City on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde player, but you'll have a better chance of winning if you have a mount
How: Just ask Tizzi or any It came from the Blog member if you aren't already in our family of guilds

There will be 10 winners. The prize for each winner will be a choice of battle pets, some donated by guildies and some extras from my collection. All you have to do is complete the scavenger hunt and show the items in a trade window to me (Tizzi). The hunt will take place in a non-flying area, so only those with ground mounts will be at an advantage.

You will need 25g (which will be provided to those that are new to the server and poor) and 37 spaces in your bags. (The list is a bit longer than usual to make it more challenging.) The items will be listed in /say at the event time, so that punctual players have an advantage. I will then repeat the list 15 minutes later in event chat.

So come have some fun and maybe win a valuable battle pet. And remember, since battle pets are account-wide, you don't have to have your main on Zangarmarsh or even in the Horde in order to enjoy them.

It came from the Blog: Join us for a scavenger hunt

by Robin Torres Mar 26th 2013 at 3:00PM

I have quite a few battle pets burning a hole in my pocket, so it's time for another scavenger hunt.

When: Saturday, March 30 at noon EDT (9 a.m. PDT, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet the fountain in the Court of the Sun in Silvermoon City on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any horde player
How: Just ask Tizzi or any member of It came from the Blog for an invite

Some of the companions have been donated by guildies and others are extras I have from holidays. The great thing about battle pets is that everyone who joins us will still be able to use their prizes on their home servers.

The contest will be held in zones that don't allow flying, but you'll have a better chance of winning if you have a mount. That having been said, I have many pets to give away, so there will be many winners.

The hunt list will be provided in /say when the event begins, so that only those who are punctual will be able to see it. It will be given again 15 minutes later in event chat.

These hunts are always fun so please join us!

Reminder: It came from the Blog's Love-in is tomorrow

by Robin Torres Feb 15th 2013 at 4:00PM

This is a call to action! It came from the Blog is staging a peaceful protest tomorrow. We want booze sold in the Undercity, and we want it now! We'll be starting at the top, and then moving our protest from there.

Because love is in the air, our form of protest will be a Love-in. So it will not only be peaceful, it will be groovy.

When: Tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 16 at Noon EST (9 a.m. PST, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet in front of Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde player level 10 or above
How: Ask Tizzi or any It came from the Blog member for an invite, if you aren't already in our family of guilds

If you are joining us (and all are welcome), please wear something alluring, bring something alcoholic and behave something groovy, man.

Alliance are encouraged to protest with us! Just roll a Horde character (10 or above) and show us how it's done. After all, your dwarves would never allow a dry city in your faction. Or wait, does the Exodar sell libations? They're so full of light and boringness there -- which is why it should be a disco.

Anyway, join us for peace, love and virtual drinking tomorrow!

Please join us on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H) in It came from the Blog. Guild ranks of Blog Lurker or above can invite, so /whisper Robiness or any online member. You are all welcome as long as you play by our simple rules -- basically, don't be a funsucker! Visit the guild FAQ for more details.

It came from the Blog: Join us for a Love-in

by Robin Torres Feb 11th 2013 at 7:00PM

We at It came from the Blog want to hold a protest -- the best kind of protest there is: a Love-in. For those of you who aren't hip to the 60's lingo, a Love-in is just a particularly groovy Sit-in. The protesters hang out in a public place and protest peacefully, but the theme is love, since love is in the air, as you know.

What will we be protesting? You can't buy alcohol in the Undercity. Seriously, how is that even legal?

When: Saturday, Feb. 16 at Noon EST (9 a.m. PST, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet in front of Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde player level 10 or above
How: Ask Tizzi or any It came from the Blog member for an invite, if you aren't already in our family of guilds

Tizzi will be providing transportation as needed via mage port, which is why you need to be at least level 10 so that you can join the raid.

Anyone is welcome to join us and support the cause. If you're Alliance, please make a character just to help out. We appreciate all the support we can get.

So join us for our very first Love-in. Just make sure to wear something alluring, and bring booze.

It came from the Blog: Lunar Lunacy snapshots

by Robin Torres Feb 8th 2013 at 5:00PM

At the end of last month, the It came from the Blog family of guilds celebrated the Lunar Festival with Lunar Lunacy 2013. We delivered on the promise of playing with things that go boom, achievements, and risking our lives.

First we gathered in the throne room of the Ruins of Lordaeron. (We made no sacrifices to The Elevator Boss on that day.) While we waited for everyone to arrive, we completed the initial Lunar Festival quest to get our invitations, and some attendees achieved both Frenzied Firecracker and The Rocket's Red Glare.

Then we were off to Moonglade, via our invitations, to beat up Omen, with many lowbies dying. Regardless, Elune's Blessing was ours. We then headed back to the festivities and made our invitations take us to Thunder Bluff to honor the elder there. Afterwards, we flew to Orgrimmar and completed the Elders of the Horde.

The Lunar Festival has begun, which means it's time for It came from the Blog's annual Lunar Lunacy event.

When: Thursday, Jan. 31 at 10:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. PST, 8:30 p.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the Throne Room at the Ruins of Lordaeron
Who: Any Horde character level 10 or above
How: Ask Tizzi or any member of It came from the Blog for an invite

We'll be getting some achievements, playing with things that go boom, and risking our lives. We'll have to work harder at it this year, as we don't have Have Group Will Travel anymore, but we've never been squeamish about running through enemy territory. Hence our motto: Protect the lowbies!

As usual, everyone is invited. If you don't normally play Horde, we would still love to have you. Keeping a Hordie in our guild just for events won't make you feel too unclean. I promise. Just don't roll a Pandaren if you don't like our current warchief. That will make you feel unclean.

We hope to see you there!

It came from the Blog: Random dungeon groups LFM again

by Robin Torres Dec 19th 2012 at 7:00PM

Last week, level 15 Crikkit ran the Dungeon Finder along with four other It came from the Blog members and another full group. We acquired achievements, completed challenges and leveled to 20. This week, we'd like to be even more successful, and you are welcome to join us.

When: Thursday, Dec. 20 (tomorrow) at Noon EST (9 a.m. PST, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the fishing hole in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde character within a couple levels or so of Crikkit, who is level 21
How: Ask Crikkit or any It came from the Blog member for an invite to the guild
What: Weekly Dungeon Finder groups

Crikkit is a mistweaver and will be healing using her monk-like ways. If you'd like to play a healer, there should be enough other people to form more groups. Last week we only had two groups, but that's because we didn't have enough healers to go around.

More details are after the break.
