I would almost think this was april fools if it wasn't so sad.



Paragon and Premonition will merge for Cataclysm
According to a news post on Paragon and Premonition websites, both guilds will merge in Cataclysm to create a new entity : Paranition.





Some of you have heard rumors about it, and today we're able to announce it officially: we are moving to US servers and merging with Premonition to join forces in Cataclysm.

While we had a very successful run in ICC, we lost the race for the first kill on all the eight first bosses, which were in fact killed before the EU servers came up. Thus, the only way to aim for perfection is to play on the US servers. This will enable us to start raiding over 12 hours earlier. To further strengthen our force, we opted to look for a partner to merge with; we chose to present Premonition with this partnership suggestion for their excellent performance and connections.

Statements were released from one of the leaders from both guilds:

When looking for US partners, Premonition was an obvious choice for us. We've had friendly relations with them for a while, and they're good guys that we'll enjoy playing with. Furthermore, their excellent track record guarantees that we will have the absolute optimal player setup for any and all challenges that Cataclysm will offer. Their connections also aided us in our search for sponsorship, and we look forward to working with them to further push the limits of World of Warcraft raiding. (Paragon / Lazei)

Paragon is an exceptional raiding guild that we've had a good relationship with in their brief but highly successful time as a guild. When the leadership of Paragon approached us with this idea, we were, of course, happy to work with them for a mutually worthwhile merge. We are very excited to help make the #1 raiding guild in the world the strongest it can be - by expanding the roster for the capability of maximum learning in the smallest amount of time. (Premonition / Xav)

In the spirit of a true merge, the new guild will be called Paranition. You can find us raiding on the lag-free realm of US-Sentinels.

We're also very, very proud to present our new main sponsorship deal with Unilever, most known for their AXE grooming product brand.




NEW YORK (01 Apr 2010) AXE is giving a big boost to guys that feel the need to RAID! The iconic leader in men's care, in partnership with Blizzard, launched the brand's new product line: AXE Sunwell - Get Energized! Studies conducted about gamers concluded that this segment was completely untapped by any grooming products. The Sunwell line is targeted for appearance-conscious gamers that understand the social aspect of gaming. AXE products will now ensure that you stay uniquely fresh even during 24-hour raiding sessions and LAN-parties.

Many thanks to our sponsors; this merge would not have been possible without those private English classes to overcome the language barrier. Also many thanks to all our supporters, and see you on the US servers - fresh!

Hmm you can actually see what those Lightning Deals are if you click on them since they list a little description. I might be interested in that mouse... it seems my G5 might be dying finally as randomly it just stops working (but it's still lit up like it is operating fine). I have to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work :(.

Maybe Logitech will just give me a new mouse.

So we did some heroic 10 last night...only did marrowgar and gunship on heroic in the first wing. Gave heroic blood council a shot for about 45 minutes, but we were dying due to tank death. We were running resto shaman, resto druid for heals...going to take a dps that has healing OS next time for 3 healing that fight since its not a dps race.

Then we one shot heroic blood queen...what a joke for a wing boss. Then one shot heroic rotface...but only got about 20 minutes on heroic festergut. Last week we worked on heroic saurfang...skipped it this week. He seems like he's going to take some work.

If you have a holy paladin or disc priest for saur I find him so much easier. I'm a resto druid and healing the marks even with full hots at the end is tough.

With the paladin just FoL is enough for awhile, and tank taunts have to be pretty spot on or he'll heal a bit.

Sin down, working on LK now, should be interesting, got clean transitions to phase 2 after 2 pulls everytime so hopefully it'll only be next week to down him.

Yet another week without a trinket for my shaman... now it's really starting to look pathetic still using an Ulduar trinket with full ilevel 264.... Really wouldn't mind the ~200 DPS boost it'll give me either. I'm already starting to keep up with the rogues without tricks.

I did a bulk re/dl of all addons to get updated TOCs and such, and now I've got some odd behavior in gatherer. If I have the show nodes in minimap selected, I also get some weird 3D like node map on my main screen, how the hell do you disable that part?

Disable On Screen Display. IIRC its Crtl+ click on the minimap icon

Wow, it is so stupid trying to get into Arena teams now... Everyone is either extremely geared or requires 2k achieve. Hard to get into if you haven't PVP'd in awhile.

I had been wondering the same. With alliance now bowing down I can't remember the last time horde lost WG, so between the daily pvp and one a day wg match, you can buy honor only gear at a rate of 1 piece every 4-5 days. If you could add more than the 25 arena points to it you could add even more as the honor cost part of those items go down dramatically. Although I do occasionally on the weekend see a couple groups looking for a couple peeps for point only matches, not sure I want to dive in with a dedicated scrub group.
