I just logged in to the server and was just in time to drink the brewfest achievement part brew. Tomorrow I dont have time and it would have been the last day that I could log in.
1 member of my guild was online. Someone who stopped raiding with us over 1.5 years ago and she was on her lvl 77 warlock.
Most sad of all, I still have currently a 54 minute cooldown left on ribbon dancing...
Go figure ;)

The train has departed...
This morning catching my train to work failed. I was 20 seconds too late. So I lost 30 minutes of my life.
I didn't really expect it but I did not ever felt the need to log back into wow. Cancelled my account today which will run till October 17th though. So I'll get the brewfest stuff done and the dragon from the festival stuff and I might get 75 pets since I am close already.
So I might write a few things here but this is it for me. I had hoped it would run a bit longer, but I am glad that at least some people found it interesting to read what I had to say here. I want to thank you for the time you spent reading my blog and I hope you enjoyed it.
Bye people, see you out there sometimes. And if you ever come across a character named Monedula, ask him if it is me ;)

The train is leaving the station
After I quit 2 weeks ago it has been 4 or 5 others who left a few days after (probably not due to my leaving though). Today there are 5 messages on the forum of people leaving including an officer and main raider.
Looks to me the guild is done for and dead. It held for 2.5 years or so. Pretty nice what we did accomplish though. We came from position 50 and it took to Ulduar to show the server how good we were. 3 server first kills and all horde first.
That was in some way I think the last drop for the guild though. We did what we wanted to do. No real goals left. WotLK raiding setup where you kill all in week 1 or 2 is sucky at best (you know my standpoint on that). So there is nothing left for us... well that is how a lot of people feel.
So a premature RIP for The Esoteric Foundation from me. Premature but in my opinion inevitable.

A little too relaxed...
Synopsis
This is the message I wrote on my guild's forum.
It has been fun.
Hey guys. I sadly have to announce that raiding is no longer an option for me. Last week I had to unsign all raids because of my newly started job which at that point drained all my energy.
Looking to the future I see other stuff coming my way, next to my new full time work, and I have not the time to spend on raiding as is required. Sadly I don't get too much joy from raiding in WotLK as I once did. If that was the case I might have been able to get energy from raiding, though currently it is draining more from me then I can give with my new irl situation. So this is it for me.
Being here from day 1 I feel at home in TEF and if you would let me I'd like to stay in the guild as a social member, though I can understand if you don't.
Good luck in Ulduar and I bet you will be at least horde first in 3.2 as well!
So what does it mean for this blog? Well basically I won't be raiding. I will have no drive to do hard calculations on what talent is best for what and what a certain development means for the future of druids in raids. Nor will you will get any valuable information (for as much that was the case before) about raiding.
This blog will become a more casual blog. Next upcoming post will be about the bearforms and cat forms I just saw on PTR and how disappointed I am in them. I might join a few raids or instances but most of the time I see myself doing non-raiding and non-pvp (hate pvp) achievements. Not as much game achievements though personal achievements. Leveling my 4 alts to 80, gearing them a bit, grinding mobs for that one drop (which believe it or not I think is fun and is taken largely out of WotLK), playing casual and just for the fun.

Relax, take it easy
Damn I hate that song... rather the singer. Anyway. I am not playing much these days. Just started a new job. I feel relaxed about it, like it, knew I would like it, but getting into the rythm of getting up early and sunday to monday somehow only sleeping 1 hours has exhausted me a bit. I am not playing at the moment. The thought of anything else but sitting on the couch watching tv is exhausting enough. So I'll write a bit later I think.

Synopsis
Sorry for the Dutch title. Translated it means "Don't talk shit". It is funny in Dutch because it is not usual word usage. The sentence in itself is a direct translation, word for word, from English to dutch.
Anyway it refers to Blizzard PTR patchnotes. It is talking shit.
What the hell does this mean: Ranks 4 and 5 base points reduced by about 11%. Scaling from attack power unchanged.
??? Any idea anyone?
I think it might refer to a system like items. An item has x points to spread. Some in agility, some in stamina etc. If I am correct it means that in case of mangle, mangle is reduced by 11%.
If so I did a bit of calculation.
Instead of 5.9k dps on General Vezax I would do about 5.5k. The value was really close to 5% dps loss. One thing though, this os on a fight where you can non stop use the boss as a target dummy. Other fights, like Yogg where you mangle more then Shred and Rip, you will see more dps lost.
Still only guessing. Tell me if someone at Blizzard grew some brains and tried to explain to us how the internal point value of abilities is used. Bogus patchnotes imo.
Here is the (Dutch) "song" by Dingetje. I think I was 10 at the time this was a "hit". Prolly 20 years ago.
