One instance at a time: The Underbog

So as I logged in last night, all ready to level up my Hunter, Talonis, to 68, my tank (who also has a Level 67 MM) says to me, "Coilfang?" So much for leveling up. *grin* In relatively short order, we were able to assemble a group for The Underbog: Five intrepid Level 70s, including Osprey ...

We’re moving…somewhere…I think.

Last week, for some inexplicable reason, my corporate firewall/filter started making it insanely difficult to access Blogger.
