Ets, the new kid on the block

meth — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:20:00 +0000

When Paragon recently announced their switch from 25 to 10 man, only one of the newer recruits received a spot in the new small roster. His name is Ets and he is playing a Resto Druid in the guild. I sat down with him to get a small insight on the person behind Ets and the start for Paragon into Mists of Pandaria.

Is there life after Deathwing

xenophics — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:40:21 +0000

Tier 13 brought with it many disappointments to us here in Paragon. I asked seven of our players, Kyylol, Tauno, Iiris, Fragi, Xodan, Tuutti, and Ussos to tell us a little about what's going on in their lives and how the whole Deathwing madness affected them.

Multiboxing (also random streams)

Diivil — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 01:15:24 +0000

So I bought 3 more accounts and started multiboxing about a week ago. Raids have slowed down my leveling progress quite a bit but my 4x paladin team is cruising at 82 already. The 3x experience bonus from RAF combined with heirlooms means really really really fast levels until Catalcysm content. Yesterday I also setup a stream with vods available as well (don't watch the first BRC run, it went horribly horribly wrong ;] Watch the second one instead!).

Remember kids, the race starts next week

It is this time of the year again when a new bag full of content gets thrown through the digital chimneys into our computers. And like every time this happens, there will be people who will post on the internet "Paragon, why do you have no first kills?" or "Paragon, I don't see you on wowprogress. Whats happening?".

Trialing and Membering

yliajo — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:36:31 +0000

Hello everybody. My nick is Yliajo and I’m one of the newest members of DREAM Paragon. I’m 24 and currently studying Information Technology and should be soon to be finishing my studies. Games have always been close to my heart. Before WoW I played warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne/DOTA, and of course, Diablo 2. Then a lot of people were switching to WoW and I also made that transition starting with US open beta and basically have been on that road from that moment on.

What it's like joining Paragon?

rinku — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 14:38:43 +0000

Before Paragon I had spent my whole WoW career on Twisting Nether. I started raiding mid-Burning Crusade and by the time WotLK was released I was running my own guild with 20some finns in it. International guild of course, but with heavily finnish core.

After recruiting Jobim The Guild Destroyer I merged with the same core to another guild on my server and we managed to reach the wowprogress top20 page shortly after ( coincidentally thanks to Paragon and especially Anaram sharing the secrets about Anub with us at a party ).

Are you going to eat that...?

Ladan — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:00:03 +0000

So DREAM Paragon and I are cooking up a fun little social experiment... all about what you like to eat and drink during a raid. :)

So to get us started, please go and participate in my two drink/food polls on my research blog. I'll post the next stage of our little participatory experiment later tonight... :)

Stay tuned and bring your appetites....

Recent DREAM Paragon roster changes

meth — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:24:17 +0000

DREAM Paragon has been a very stable guild since its initial rise to the #1 spot in the world. Their member fluctation has never been very high but of course also in this guild members sometimes have to stop playing on such a level and new people make their way into the roster. Recently there have been some changes which might have gone unnoted because they happened partly after the world first race was over.

The mad dash to world first with trolls and stalkers....

Ladan — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:22:14 +0000

So we're in the midst of a race. Not quite your typical race like Tour de France where you can see up close and personal the team dynamics and exciting individual cyclists zooming through France.. but it's a WoW raiding race nonetheless. Teams of 10 or 25 geared up and ready... troubleshooting and planning...

Dreamblag – what just happened?

Hermanni — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:08:15 +0000

Being a first-timer representing the guild abroad and relatively new in the guild I was inclined to write an entry about how I felt about the event and what exactly happened there. I wanted to keep this short with a ”skip the boring parts” -approach, but as there really weren't any of those I'll be going for the ”random highlights” -approach instead.

Day 1 – Tre? Tre?!?

Hermanni on DH, Paragon and himself

meth — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 15:24:31 +0000

This weekend the DreamHack lan will take place again in Sweden and Paragon will be there for live raids. Among the group of five that will attend the event is Hermanni, one of the last members to join the guild. I caught up with him for some questions about him, the DreamHack trip and being in Paragon.

A typical day during progress

Kruf — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 13:48:13 +0000

To give you guys an idea what my life has been like for most of the time after Cataclysm launch, let me show you how a typical weekday during the progress used to be for me. This isn't really any single given day, but rather a composite of how the days went on average - on some days the raids started earlier or later and I didn't always wake up at the same time, but this should give a reasonable idea what it was like.
