"Be nice, not naughty!" winners, Cataclysm Mounts and Pets, Atramedes First Kill

[Boubouille]

Guide Contest - 2 Days Left
You have 2 days left to finalize your guides and make them pretty before the contest ends! I would also like to add that if you had a super awesome guide on our forums and have decent ideas on how to improve it (= put some real work in it and don't just copy paste your post) you are free to submit it. It seemed a little unfair to "ban" from the contest people who already contributed to the community in the first place.

At this point we have over 300 submissions and anyone can win as long as you write something nice! Also, I think we have enough "fun"/5 lines guides ... You can go back to the useful/helpful stuff now

If you didn't hear about the contest before, check this post: MMO-Champion Guide Contest - Win a Mottled Drake and a Riding Turtle!


MMO-Champion "Be nice, not naughty!" - Winners
The "Be nice, not naughty!" Giveaway has been a success and almost 2000 people submitted their screenshot after being nice in-game!

I will contact winners and send them a private message on forum before sending the prizes, mostly to make sure that people didn't just register and forget about it (and also to ask for the region of the mount/pet codes, etc ...). If you want to spy on how it went, I covered my back and recorded it but I doubt it's very interesting.

Thanks again to WoWTCGLoot.com for providing some of the prizes for this contest.

Atramedes Heroic 25 World First Kill by Method
Bosses are getting harder and world first kills happen slower, especially during the holidays! Method was the first guild in the world to defeat Atramedes in heroic mode! It also makes them the first guild with 6 heroic boss kills, congratulations to them!

Cataclysm Mounts & Pets List
Someone pointed out in the mail that I never listed the mounts and companion pets available in Cataclysm. I did list most of them in news prior to the release of the expansion but I guess I forgot to post/update it at the release of the expansion, it's time for a short recap!

[Limelight]

There is also the Reins of Poseidus, a seahorse mount dropped by a rare mob in Vash'jir.

[Kelandraa]

Gratz to all the winners.

Funny how Method has become from casual guild to hardcore guild. I mean they got world 13th (with easymode 15% buff lol, Paragon did it with 5%) LK25HC and didn't place in top 10. Well, these are early raids and don't matter so much :P

[Intolerant]

Yes because contributing useless comments such as yours matters.

didn't they remove that after beta? poseidus only dropped gold on live, and on beta it's mount was only the abyssal seahorse with other item name (taught the same mount as the quest one)

[Glomp]

Yup, sucks. Most of the winners registered on the 24th...

*fanboy rant inc*

Yeah funny how they can become "casual" all of a sudden, they have been doing hardcore raiding since pre-tbc.
Always being in the top20 kills back in vanilla days, getting the first Lady Vashj kill in TBC, and the 2nd kill on KJ.
Getting 2nd kill on Naxx, EOS, and 1st on OS3D-10man.
And being among the 1st and 2nd, and 2nd on getting the drake from achievements in Naxx, Ulduar and ICC and still being in top 15 in those instances.
..and out of the blue a Finnish guild called Paragon comes and getting a single World First, and suddenly Method ( one of the oldest hardcore guilds in the World ) becomes casuals.

*end of fanboy rant*
