Northrend – (March 12, 2010) – In what appears to be an unstoppable march through Icecrown Citadel, the Contemporary Heroes added three new kills to the list of dead bosses in the instance this week.

On Monday, March 8, Rotface fell to a small recon force (10 player) with the sole intent of destroying the young abomination.

Three days later, on March 11, a larger force (25 player) stormed into the citadel and steamrolled (one shots) through two previously undefeated encounters – Lady Deathwhisper and the Horde Gunship. Deathbringer Saurfang could only look on in horror, knowing his fate will soon be the same.

“These wins were about attitude and persistence,” Firestaryvfd, CH guildmaster explained. “Despite struggling on some of these fights in past weeks, our raiders stuck it out and showed these bosses why we are called Heroes. Just as important, spirits remained high and people had fun.”

As with all kills, guild leadership was quick to point out that these were wins for the entire guild, not just a small group of progression players.

“When I saw Lady Deathwhisper die last night, it really felt like a full guild effort,” Blaeys, assistant GM, said. “We could not have done it so easily if not for the many strategy tweaks by teams from the past few weeks. Additionally, everyone supporting the R1 through R6 raids helped us build the progression teams we have now. That program continues to give us some of the strongest raiders in the game.”

For more information about these kills, whisper a progression or R6 raider (we’re sure they’ll happily tell you all about them).

March 3, 2010 – Varian Wrynn, the current king of Stormwind, turned his back on The Contemporary Heroes Wednesday after senior raider – and long time troublemaker – Tungol told him “We don’t want your help. Please go away,” in Icecrown Citadel.

The king, aghast at the insult, abruptly left, taking his “Strength of Wrynn” buff with him. While the other 24 heroes in the raid remained confused, Tungol was overheard mumbling something about “We don’t need him. He isn’t my king anyway. I didn’t vote for him.”

Luckily for the raid, the king returned after some crafty diplomacy by CH guildmaster Firestaryvfd. There were, however, still many hard feelings.

“I respect the strength that the Contemporary Heroes bring to the fight against the Lich King, but this Tungol may want to stay out of Stormwind for a few weeks,” Wrynn explained. “There are many hazardous spots in my city and I would hate to see him suffer an unfortunate ‘accident’.”

Guild leadership met shortly after the raid to discuss punishment for the brash warrior but, to date, no decision has been made regarding his fate.

The raiding schedule has been posted for the month of March. Please check the link at the left hand side of the homepage.

Also, be aware that in-game invites will go out on a weekly basis. Please visit the calendar to help schedule your time for the raids not yet on the ingame calendar. (Also use this as a way to set goals for yourself to move up in raid ranking :) )

A reminder, the Fall of Naxxramas achievement (on any toon in the guild) is required to advance to R6 raid rank.

Happy Raiding,

February 2, 2010 - Lord "Punxsutawney" Marrowgar poked his head out of his hole late yesterday only to have it cut off before he had a chance to see his shadow. This, of course, means many more weeks of successful raiding for the Contemporary Heroes.

Good job on a new progression kill guys (Marrowgar 25).

The raid invites for the first half of February are out! The raiding calendar for the entire month is updated on this site as well. Please visit it to help you plan your raiding. (And your excuse for raiding on Valentine's Day).

Also an overview of the changes for Febuary can be found in the forums here: http://www.the-contemporary-heroes.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=319

Happy Raiding!
