Heyas, and merry Christmas :)
    I think my necromancer was 74 when the ladder 3 ended. I'm letting my accounts in b.net expire and trying some other things now.

Guild questing for this week.
Questers:Eonwë, Oromë, Elatan, Alatar
Location: Blackfathom Deeps.
    We got together in Auberdine to get the brain stem quest and to run to Auberdine for the Argent Dawn quests in Blackfathom Deeps. Once we got those, we walked down through Darkshore to the Deeps. Due to time constraints, we only got as far as getting most of the brain stems and finding Thaeldrid.

Wetlands:
Quest completed: Dark Iron Wars
Group: Andunie (34 gnome mage), Undomiel (31 human warrior), Varda (29 elf priest), Orognome (29 gnome rogue, the one with the black mustache!). By the time we reached the boss, we were joined by Arathornia (47 elf hunter). After Undomiel had to leave, she was replaced by an outsider paladin called Superkiller.

StormWind Stockades:
Quests completed: heads taken of Kam Deepfury for "The Fury Runs Deep", and of Basil.
Group: Andunie, Arathornia, Orognome, Varda.

Orognome and Varda gained a level during todays's questing, so they are both 30!
EldestEnt leveled to 54.

Turambar quested in RedRidge and other places with outsiders.
Gulma (Ulmo's 31 hunter) and Auros (Eonwe's 60 paladin) came in about the time Varda, your recorder left (after playing 7 hours and 30 minutes). We started early. They came in about 7pm EST, the more usual time.
EldestEnt replaced Varda on their mutual home computer.
Niequi (one of Ulmo's 60's) played.
Undomiel returned for more grouping with Arathornia.

Aiya Varda. Thank you for your concern. I am sad to say that Caranthir and I both probably lost our homes in the hurricane. The levee system broke and water flooded the new orleans streets. Some areas reported up to 25 feet of water. It is said that it could take up to 6 months to drain this water. Fortunately, Caranthir and I both evacuated before the storm hit. He is presently in Arkansas and I am in Texas. We hope to rebuild but will most likely be living in a new city. I appreciate your concern and pray that we will all get through this.

Guild questing for the last Friday of August.

Questers: Eonwë, Varda, Ulmo, Oromë, Elatan, Arathorn
Also joined by Aslynn, Guild friend

Quests: Claws from the Deep, Young Crocolisk Skins, Digging through the Ooze, Reclaiming Goods, Greenwarden quests, Daily Delivery

Getting together in Menethil, Eonwë, Varda, Ulmo, Elatan, and Arathorn began to work on Claws from the Deep and Reclaiming Goods. Killing Gobbler and the necessary murlocs, and recovering the statue, we moved on to Digging through the Ooze. Now having a new 10-slot bag, we completed Young Crocolisk skins, during which we were joined by Oromë. With 6 guild guys in one area, we split into two teams and went after what we needed. Arathorn and Elatan left, and Oromë joined Ulmo, Varda, and Eonwë for what time he had left. After he left, we were joined by Aslynn for the Greenwarden quests. Soon Ulmo had to go, and then there were three. We finished all the Greenwarden quests, upon which Aslynn had to depart. Varda and I made a queick run to Westfall to help Midrog, another Guild friend, but he disappeared (comp crashed and could't return) as we were on our way there. After grabbing the flight path there, we tidied up our affairs for the night and logged out.
