Blackrock Spire Memories
Saturday, July 19th, 2008
I recently ran Blackrock Spire with some 55ish people from our guild alliance. We ran Upper Blackrock Spire, then Lower Blackrock Spire. It was fun to see the old place again. I have a lot of memories of running it back when 60 was the level cap.
One fine day when I was questing in Felwood on my priest, I got a whisper for a pick up group for Upper Balckrock Spire. Three pulls in and I got the first piece of my Devout set, the Devout Belt. As the only priest, it was mine!
We ran Upper Blackrock Spire many times as a guild. One of the first times we downed the end boss, Jaimie’s mage was the last one standing. We got a screenshot of the kill and Tinder soloing Drak was a guild legend.
For a sadder memory, Lower Blackrock Spire saw the death of our second guild. (We were only in the first one for a week when most of the guild switched.) In the middle of a run, just as we were pulling the giant wolves, our guild master logged on, promoted the druid in our group to GM, then logged off. A week or two later, our guild disbanded and we joined Legion of the Dragon - our first raiding guild.
