Leaving Azeroth

Star Wars: The Old Republic went live on December 20, 2011. I was there for it, and so were familiar faces: kklown, my buddy since Diablo 1, now playing Dystopic, and Rapid, who'd raided Naxx 40 with us as Icezero.

More of the story is on the way. For now, the tape.

The night before

Hard mode practice, with comms

A successful hard mode practice on the G4-B3 Heavy Fabricator the night before, 16-man, with voice comms running. Old friends on the mic, and two new names we'd just picked up.
