First!

This is the blog for the casual World of Warcraft Alliance guild 'Under New Management', hosted on the US Stormrage server.

We don't raid (other than as occasional pugs), we don't PvP (except for when we do) and we don't even have regular instancing nights (except for when we do). We do, however, thoroughly enjoy WoW, burning a lot of work time discussing gear and strats and mechanics, and getting online pretty regularly to actually play.

Guild mains are, in no particular order:
  • Simetra, a kitty DPS Druid and off/emergency healer.
  • Fahdge, a Druid, and our main tank. Yep, he's a masochist.
  • Molt, (that's me), Resto Druid and the main healer.
  • Shamandrel, Draenai Shaman, for tasty totems and DPS, and an off/emergency healer.
  • Tasar, a demon-specced warlock of delicious dps, who sometimes thinks he can emergency tank, much to my panic.
  • Kaytln, a gnome mage, who normally gets online just in time to see the rest of us log off.
We all have alts for various reasons, and I'm sure we'll meet them in time.

Anyway, the reason I decided to add to the contamination of the blogosphere with these ramblings is, well, every other blog/guide/wiki editor/etc I've met seem to be horribly focused on Raiding or hardcore PvP. And yet, if Blizzard are to be believed, casual players are by far the vast majority of the player base.

I think it's time for a casual player blog (although there probably are lots, and I just havn't found them. I don't care. It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

Consider yourselves warned.
