Noctambulist

Is an old word for "sleepwalker" but if you look at the roots, it emphasizes "night" over "sleep." I think Hawksy came up with it originally. After a few weeks of intermittent but spirited discussion, it is now the name of the new guild. We realized we needed more structure for doing what we want to do when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. What it is we want to do is raid.

After a lot of consideration, I decided to move Beros over to the new guild last night before our latest ZA Bear Mount run. Then we got Mandie her bear -- not with much time to spare, but without too much trouble. We were going to run some more Heroics for the Trials quests, but then I started getting tells...
"ginvite please"
"hey, ginvite me"
"ginvite?"

Pretty soon we had collected a lot of l8raiders in /guild chat. More even than I had expected right away. The guild appears to be off to a decent start. We're probably still in low-power mode for a week until 3.0 releases on 10/13. Hopefully the new talents/abilities will motivate a few people to try out some raiding again before WotLK releases on 11/13. Then I figure a few weeks of levelling and hopefully we'll start sorting out the last raiding details right before the holidays.
