First of all, i think something went wrong with my Firefox yesterday, as I'm unable to view the YouTube Clips here anymore. Weird! It obvisiously works quite perfect with the IE. If anyone of our Readers out there experiencing the same problem, don't hestitate to drop in a Comment or write me.
Anyway, enjoy the News about a short trip tonight to the Auchenai Crypts, a wing of the Auchindoun Instance.
The mobs in the Auchenai Crypts are mostly humanoid, undead draenei and skeletons. An average pull will consist of two or three draenei, with two to four undead non-elites joining the fight. There are many wandering non-elite undead in this instance, which in many cases can be avoided.
In the last chamber, the Crypt of Remembrance, you'll face Exarch Maladaar.

Patch 2.4: The Sunwell Plateau
|
Date: 18.03.2008 22:33
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brace yourself for the Fury of the Sunwell, the next content patch for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. You have traveled through the Dark Portal and braved the perils of Outland; you faced off against the might of the Burning Legion itself, and you prevailed. Now the journey that began with the arrival of the draenei on Azeroth and the blood elves' inclusion into the Horde is about to come full circle as a mighty army gathers to purge evil from one of Azeroth's most important loci of power: the ancient, magical Sunwell.
Explore the mystical grounds of the new 5-person dungeon, Magisters' Terrace, where one of the Burning Crusade's most notorious villains is preparing to make his desperate last stand. Lead your raid group straight into the heart of the Sunwell Plateau to confront the most terrifying and deadly agents of the Burning Legion. But beware, for your enemies will not go down without a fight. Expect the demons to send in their most ferocious, brutal, and powerful officers. Your greatest challenge yet awaits.
The new dungeon and raid content is not the only new addition of this upcoming patch. More than a dozen new daily quests will provide fresh new challenges, and a brand-new faction stands ready to reward you for your bravery and commitment. The call goes out to the strongest, most cunning, and bravest heroes to join the Shattered Sun Offensive in the battle to reclaim the Sunwell.

For her Excellency... for... Vashj!

Kalithresh is a naga working for Lady Vashj. In combat, he periodically attempts to channel energy from the nearest of the tanks of fluid in his room. If he completes the 10 second channel, his attack speed increases by 100% and his damage by 75%; this effect is stackable. Once he reaches this state, a wipe is generally imminent and unavoidable, and it is thus imperative that the entire group focus their damage on these fluid tanks as soon as he begins channelling from them.
As the last boss of the max-level Coilfang Reservoir wing, Kalithresh is an appropriately difficult and time-consuming fight. He is fought in a room lined with tanks, full of some unknown substance.

Patch 2.4 soon?
|
Date: 13.03.2008 22:04
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The changes for patch 2.4 are starting to be less and less dramatic, which may indicate that the patch is nearing completion. Here's another such indication: parts of the patch (260 MB) are now being sent out to the background downloader. This means that some of the patch data is finalized, and we can get those parts of the patch now instead of having to get everything on patch day.
Patch 2.3 was on the background downloader for 12 days before it was released, and 2.1 was 11 days. But 2.2 was on for over a month, so it's hard to predict for sure how this will go.
Note that the patch is not, in fact, being released today, or even necessarily next week. But I would bet that it won't be more than a few weeks until the Sunwell is upon us.

Meet the Warchief: Kargath Bladefist
|
Date: 12.03.2008 22:33
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Let me introduce you to our tonight's Event in the Shattered Halls. Warchief Kargath Bladefist (aka Korgath on occasion) is the master of the fel orcs and Chieftain of the Shattered Hand Clan. He earned the sobriquet "Bladefist" after he cut off his own hand when he reached the station of grunt, replacing it with a deadly scythe (aka The Bladefist). Hereafter, he quickly rose to the station of Chieftain of the Shattered Hand.
The Shattered Halls is a level 70 elite instance in Hellfire Peninsula, being the third wing of Hellfire Citadel. The instance is one of the first endgame instances in The Burning Crusade players will encounter. Shattered Halls has a very straight layout with only one way to go.
Sylvanas Pride successfully downed another Boss. I'd love to write my News in the Show-and-Tell style, enjoy the Clip:

Magtheridon's Lair
|
Date: 11.03.2008 22:07
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
You may have already heard that Magtheridon will be made easier in patch 2.4, but it looks like Blizzard's adding a few more goodies to make him more enticing to everyone. World of Raids has gotten news from a couple raid groups who have taken him down on the Test server, and it seems he's gotten a few other loot changes as well.
First of all, he drops more of the ultimate shiny stuff, 25 gold per raid member by some reports. Taking down a quick raid boss and getting 2 or 3 dailies worth of gold seems like a fair trade. He also now drops a 20 slot bag, called the Pit Lord's Satchel, which is BoP, but not unique. Like all 25-man bosses in 2.4, he will drop Badges of Justice. Finally, he also drops a Black Sack of Gems that will contain various Epic quality gems.
I've found a nice clip for all those who dare to challenge Magtheridon and are in the need of a good Tactic.

A journey to the Shadow Labyrinth - Murmur

Deep inside the heart of Shadow Labyrinth lurks Murmur, an elemental the Shadow Council is trying (and failing) to control for their own purposes. If you visit Shadow Labyrinth, you'll find Murmur waiting for you at the end -- the very last boss. Have you taken your chances to get reacquanted with Murmur?
I think we've all had our chance to be killed by his Sonic Boom!

Happy 100's News - The Very Biggest News Ever !

ladys and gents, welcome to the 100's news of aXs-Gaming ! we're proud to say thanks to everyone who made this possible.
i collected some news that may be worth to mention and of course this news includes everything that happened in the past months.
i forgot to mention them - sowwy :/ we had three birthdays to celebrate in january which was  Xalon (88) -i guess he lied with the year- ^^,  Seth (21) and NiNa (23). congratz at this time even when its one month too late. this explains the situation.
after a long time we finally managed to keep on working on the unreal tournament 3 pickups and it looks like we're just a few steps away to launch the project. thanks a lot to game-arena, especially  MaGma and  zmh who spend a lot of time with fixing the bot and setting up the servers. actually theres only one little but annoying problem with the mapvote but Seth offerd his help and we will have a look at it as soon as possible.
i bet you're still wondering whats going on in aXs-Gaming at the moment as you never see anyone of us playing on the publics or in a pickup tagged up. ill try to explain it a bit. unreal tournament'99, now almost a 9 years old game suffered from newer titles like 2k4,ut3 and -in my opinion- the gamekiller #1 world of warcraft is not much populated anymore. since aXs-Gaming took place in the last tournaments on clanbase with a freaky mixed team and couldnt go any far those people went back playing for their main or old clans again which lead us into a dead-end. dont get me wrong, everyone is still in the private - but just cant be arsed to play.
whatever it is, its nice to keep this friendly chatting athmosphere up since the ut3 squad didnt start trough here as we promised. the big awaited blow off didnt happen and the activity is -still- not that good if i take a look at clanbase or at different leagues. you prolly ask yourself now, what happened to the ut3 axs team at all? we had 5 then Ashampoo's ram broke and he couldn't play anymore. in the meantime i joined daMn to praccy the maps, gameplay and all the stuff when i found out that it is kinda pretty much fun in this clan so my main priority was in playing and not organising the axs team (idd, shame on me). anyway,
Molo wasnt around that much to count him in as active lineup and -as far as i can remember- craX had no decent pc to play the game at all. by the time i went more and more inactive because of work and couldnt even organise/play anything wich ended up that the ut3 squad has been put on ice. maybe we roll it out in the future, maybe not but its too early to say we should cancel it at all. there are alot of people in aXs-Gaming who enjoy playing it but we'll see whats going on.
after all those 'whine' i've got a good news, first of all that aXs-Gaming has reached a point where the clan "can't/won't" die because of inactivity or other reasons since aXs-Gaming is now more and more called an organisation which is in the early steps to get growing up. even if everyone would leave by now - everything would continue until we've reached the goal of the new community website. this could be good, but also bad since we're not able to archive any more trophys at the moment but hey.. who would mind?
besides all the blabla now lets face some facts of our world of wacraft squad. Escavienne, better known as Kat has taken the job as world of warcraft squadleader since i'm unable to handle it because of my inactivity and it seems they're currently doing much efforts with ingame instances, raids and all the stuff you've to do to get better. as one of the first members to our gild 'Sylvanas Pride' she did a pretty good job and everytime when i perform a login i see her and a few others playing. at this point i've to say ill give out a new "news-posting" right to her to make her able to spam in news related to world of warcraft. watch out for some daily content here :]
the axs-web2.0 project is still in progress but ill release some short info of the current sub tasks:
- the download section will get expanded with unreal tournament 3, world of warcraft files and a lot of other stuff which will lighten off every gamer's heart such as the newest drivers, usefull tools and so on
- the online shop will start trough with a big amount of decent equipment. we will try to provide the newest hardware (as in gaming devices, mousepads, padsurfers, headsets...) at the lowest prices. we're also playing with the thought of adding bigger thingys like graphic-/soundcards later.
- wow hoover and database: for our currently growing world of warcraft team we want to add the hoover feature like the one at the armory, furthermore a whole database like thottbot will be available on this site in the near future.
- an online bet system where you will be able to gamble a bit around. with our new warsystem we're able to track and list up all matches from every game we want to. tho this is still a big project and to speed things up we're looking for some php experts (no experienced ones, we had enough of those) more info here.
- the interview section will make us able to get the news about specific players, projects or even events that may have a chat about. you will also be able to send in suggestions about the next interview or promote yourself to get interviewed.
- general update to all gaming squads with own war sections, hall of fame's, gallerys and so on
- many other things..
but not even improvements on the website is a job we want to get done, we're also still looking forward to expand our services and trying to build up a place for the general hosting/sponsoring. as we've said that before aXs-Gaming will offer more and more things like bouncers, teamspeak, ventrilo, shoutcast, webspace at a very low amount for those who aint eligable for a sponsoring. our main goal is to provide more and more clans with those service to give every clan out there the chance to get in the benefit of some 'helpfull' extras.
i spend some time today with checking the seo reports of our website. thanks at this point for around 7500 visits and more than 18000 pure hits each month, thanks to the  polish/ english gamers who took the first ranks as the most visitors from each country and thanks to google for being the #1 search engine which provided us the most visitors but in the end only one guy made it possible: DaChef, nice hard working colleague of mine and a well experienced search engine "optimizer". thanks a lot - keep up the good work !
anyway lets go back a bit to aXs-Gaming - you maybe remember him - a voice from the past - devlin broetsz better known as
PLANGA has made a lot of nice tracks in the past years and to give you a quick sample about his music here is an exclusive sample for the visitors of aXs-Gaming.com ! we're also in a discussion currently about a new design for his official website since aXs-Gaming support their members and yes, even the retired ones. as you can see friendships that have been made here last longer than every game.
thats all by now, the next news will have less content, i hope you didn't go crazy on that much text.
almost forgot, 4 months to go and we can yell out "5 years of aXs-Gaming" !
looking forward to a nice and enjoyable future here

hey everyone and sorry for the very big gap between my last news. i'm verrrrry busy with work, stuff and a bit wow from time to time. anyway we're not dead at all but i guess we're uber inactive by now and it seems no one is really up for playing so far.
on the other hand, looking at the non-gaming part of aXs-Gaming i can say we managed to fix a few more security issues for the psybnc and - i dont know if its just me - i think the bnc now run more smooth and dont crash that much !
the new webby is still under construction but it will be nice, at least according to the premade sites/graphics ^^
the sponsoring of Kr - Kru3l Reaperz has stopped as their clan has died. normally we select clans that promise a good future but it seems we were completly wrong in this case. at this time i would like to announce that we're giving out 2 (two) sponsorings for ut3 clans - requirements: active, successful, well known.
our world of warcraft squad is going nice, no new members at all but the current team makes more and more success - gratz at this time and hope for some improvements soon.
my next news will contain more content, info and of course ill go a bit more into details of several things as i'm just back home now and starving 
stay tuned !

hello and a happy new year to everyone.
i wanted to write a news on 31th or 1st but i was pretty wasted and had a realy busy time at work since 2nd of january.
a lot of things happened and i really don't really want to write a whole book this time so i'll try to make it as short as i can.
first of all SuN had to go as he wasn't active at all for us,  Inwader decided to leave recently aswell, good luck in the future both.
our ut3 squad is still not up prolly because i'm not much around and don't have time to find some decent players but no1 is around either.. weird thingy.
the axs x-mas quiz has been solved by some ppl, too bad no1 made without 1 mistake. all questions were pretty easy to answer as all the info is on this website.. anyway here's the link with the correct answers.
we're currently stuck with the new axs-gaming website.. the design which i made sux (it didn't before) and its time for a re-design. thanks to DaChef to his excellent SEO ! our rankings, visitors and backlinks have improved by 80%.
we're going to sponsor the ut3 clan Kr in the next time.
errr.. ye sorry for the quick news but i have a lot of other things to do but i'll promise the next news will be better !
greetz
