Hand-picked and delicately sliced for your discerning palette... it's Dire Beef. Dire Beef is a World of Warcraft guild that's taken the Dark Iron server by storm for three years... one drunken brawl at a time.

Guild members can use our forums, Teamspeak, and Ventrilo services to maximize their Warcraft dining experience.

If you'd like to join us, feel free to read up on what we're about. We like to think of ourselves as the guild for people who generally hate RPG guilds.

The Origins of Dire Beef record our earliest days. If you just can't get enough of us, take pleasure in the Dire Beef Filet Carta, our Guild owner's manual.

Dire Beef's first night attacking Anetheron ends in a brilliant success, with another successful boss downing.

Set 'em up; knock 'em down.

Dire Beef celebrates it's third birthday today. The guild was originally formed by five real-life friends, looking to create a lifestyle-friendly alternative to MMOguilds. And thanks to the help of outstanding officers and an amazing assemblance of players from all walks of life, Dire Beef's legacy continues to grow.

We're now the longest-standing Horde guild on the server, and have colonized other MMOs and the console networks, as we continue to spread the good word. What good word is that? Well, that you can be good at and enjoy computer games without joining the masses of rabid Internet jerkwads. :) And it helps to raid with a tasty and frosty beverage.

With zero deaths, Dire Beef faced off against High Warlord Naj'entus and demanded he demonstrate his death animation. Horns lead the raid and Hongmeling main tanked.

Shadowsdream, an officer of Dire Beef, summarized DB's approach to raid tactics: "Dire Beef has a way of taking existing strategies, chewing them up, digesting them, and pooping [them] out as their own unique way of doing things."

Not sure what that means, but it seems an apt description.

Surf & Turf was served last week when Dire Beef carved up Lady Vashj.

Vanguard Raid Leaders Horns and Snotz recommend pairing Lady Vashj steaks with sliced lime and sea salt, or topped with a passion fruit compote.

They said it couldn't be done by a casual, lifestyle-friendly guild. And yet, Dire Beef continues to rack up the kill scores. Last night, some of our premier raiding members warstomped Fathom Lord and Lotheras.

Loot and BAC counts to be confirmed later.

So many accomplishemnts and causes for celebration recently! As we're now being linked to from other parts of the Internet, I better get on my Public Relations duties. Our forums are incredibly active, but for those without access to those, we'll keep a running journal of the big stuff here.
