Achievements Update
I've been putting this off for a long time, but we've been reduced to posting about achievements rather than brand spankin' new boss kills. I blame Blizzard. With 3.1 months later than everyone expected, and little else to do but gimmick fights, instance farming, and PVP - achievements as a guild is what we've been reduced to. My complaints aside: most these achievements rival end-game boss encounters in difficulty. Here's an update of how we're coming along on many.
The dreaded "Sarth3D" is long dead and most recently on farm. Folks like Riyan and Kly are running around with a new color drake they'll probably never ride. Especially Riyan who's on his way to the Air Force. Good luck bud!
We've knocked out numerous achievements for Naxx that don't matter including 3 minute Patchwerk on 10 man and Heroic. We earned Undying, and are a few dead bodies short of earning The Immortal. We're looking at least a couple more weeks until you see Foot Clan raiders riding around on Plagued Proto Drakes at 310% speed.
Next on our agenda are 6 Minutes Malygos Normal and Heroic and Sarth3D 10 man - arguably harder than the 25 man version. I don't think any of these are going to be a problem for us as a guild, but I do forsee lighter wallets from the repair bill. Immortal is just something that's going to have to come in time.

A lot has happened in our first month of raiding. We combined forces entirely with the guilds Uninspired and Killgreedy. We've put together PVP Premades on the fly anytime we've felt like. We've organized new Arena teams and established ties with new allies locally. There are those who hate us (I find their hatred mostly based on jealously or misplaced elitism), but the majority of those I meet have a lot of faith in our raiding capabilities. Can we be #1 in WoTLK? Only time will tell. It will be nice to not-be 2 years behind everyone else this time when we start.
However, for now we've downed a variety of bosses in our virgin raids. We're now 1/5 Hyjal, 2/6 SSC, 1/4 TK, 1/1 Gruul's, 1/1 Mag, 5/6 ZA, 1/1 Doomlord Kazzak, 1/1 Doomwalker. We're downing a new boss every week, usually two and I'm hoping to see this trend last well into the expansion.
What's New?: Setting Up Shop On a New Server : Anvilmar

I got pretty bored of doing Sunwell and Hyjal trash back on Blackhand. Don't even get me started on Black Temple. There's simply not enough time before the expansion in November to bother with wiping in a zone that's not much fun. (well Hyjal is still pretty fun)
I have friends here on Anvilmar who run with the guild "The Midnight Meat Train". I transferred over to help them get their 25 man's off the ground. Unfortunately my first impression of this server is there's a lot of inexperience and most of the raiders just transfer off of here.
I'm starting up the Foot Clan, not to absorb or trumph my friend's guild. A lot of folks don't like the name or aren't ready to join a guild going for T5 content. So I'll start recruiting for the Foot Clan based on 10 man's, Gruul's Mag, PVP Premade's, and Social. The raid schedule will be Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday and coincide with MMT's schedule. We'll put together and join some alliance that can welcome other guild's so we can do Gruul's and Mag's soon. MMT has around 15 dedicated raiders so I need to field 10 here for 25's.
Welp. Here's hoping you read this and find it encouraging. If you would like to come run with the FOOT, you can see what we're looking for to your right on the homepage. Post an app on the forums and let's make something happen!
What's New?: There will be blood...Well, not ours.

The Foot Clan website is now live as you can plainly see. The forums work as do the majority of the major elements of a website. I'm working on a graphics package and template to make this look less blue and default.
Right now you should go register for the forums. We'll get a 10 man schedule going as soon as we get a little more settled.
In the meantime, if you are looking for a 10 man's guild for Karazhan and Zul'Aman Timed Event we are recruiting for the Blackhand server. Please see the forums for more details.
