Yes, we're still playing World of Warcraft. For the most part I have been doing boring stuff in the game, like grinding for reputation and money. Yesterday
atara was talking about how she would like to play a druid, so we (sort of) re-created our tauren sisters that we had been playing over on Cenarius. Rather than paying to transfer them over to our new server, we just created a new pair of druids, and we are levelling them up together.
All is quiet on the guild front. After swearing that we would never adopt a DKP system, we quietly adopted a system that does the same thing under a different name. So far there has not been a rash of drama and /gquits over it, but that may be because people are holding off to see how well it works before they get indignant. That might also be because this is a remarkably mature and drama-free guild. There have been a few people quitting in the middle of the night here and there, but new people seem to join at about the same rate, so we're holding at a steady 96 accounts most of the time.
Starting in October we are going to be putting a bit more effort into progression, and to that end we wrapped up a loose end that had been vexing us for awhile.
After failing on the four previous times in here, we got him in one shot last night. We celebrated by going into Kara tonight and one-shotting Nightbane and Prince. I can't declare Gruul on farm status until we down him a few more times, but we have Kara on easy mode now.

(I never noticed before how much our group glows. Blizzard seems to have added more glowing bits to the armour and weapons in the expansion pack.)
For the most part taking Engineering as a profession has been a pointless money pit, but there are a few things that I would miss terribly if I gave up the profession. My personal teleportation devices to Gadgetzan and Blades Edge Mountains have proven to be very useful - if a little flaky. Usually when my Gadgetzan teleporter malfunctions it just tries to kill me, but when my Blades Edge teleporter malfunctions...
I wish I took some screenshots last night, when it turned me into alliance characters. Next time.

The two blood elves on the ends are wearing my DPS and Healing gear respectively. I put the nelf in my t4 headgear rather than the my usual DPS/healing goggles because, well, the goggles look really stupid (and she looked better with a halo). The tauren looks a little odd because I went into shadow form for the picture. You will have to look long and hard to ever find another tauren in shadow form...
