It has happened.
For those not aware, Thunderfury is a legendary weapon from Vanilla WoW and for a very long time was the best in slot tanking weapon. They require two very, very, VERY, VERY INCREDIBLY rare drops from the level 60 Molten Core raid, the Left and Right Bindings of the Windseeker. After both are obtained, the user must smelt 10 special Elementium bars, requiring 100 Arcanite bars (only craftable by alchemists and are quite expensive), 10 Elementium Ingots (rare drop from Blackwing Lair) and several other components. Following the acquisition of the materials, one must travel back to Molten Core and kill Ragnaros, then kill his air-elemental cousin, Thunderaan.
I've played WoW since Vanilla, and in those long years only saw three Thunderfury's completed, two in Vanilla and one in BC. (There were of course several more Thunderfury's on my server, but my guild had two.
I've had the Right binding on my Paladin for three years and have farmed Molten Core nearly every week since with nothing to show.
Until now.
Both bindings are in my possession. I've crafted the Enchanted Elementium bars.
All that's left is Ragnaros and Thunderaan.
It was a tradition in Vanilla - as far as I'm concerned - to make Thunderfury a full guild affair. The first time I saw one I was only level 50 and was summoned to Silithus to partake in the final task. I want to continue that and invite the entire guild to this marvelous event.
My MC raid resets tomorrow, and would like as many as possible to take a bit of time to come join me on this quest. Anyone level 60+ will be able to join me in MC to slay Ragnaros, and anyone of any level will be able to help slay Thunderaan. Considering they'll get one-shot anyway is besides the point, it's the experience of the thing.
I know this is totally short notice, but respond here if you'll be able to make it tomorrow.

Would not miss this. For the second time in 8 years I'll get to fight Thunderaan.

Truth be told I'll be biting at the bit all day to do it but I want to wait for as many people as possible. If that means waiting a bit so be it lol.

I am missing the left binding before I can get mine made. Hopefully it doesn't take me 3 more years. I definitely want to be there.

As I said I'll be around all night. I'll be in TS so we can go before the SWTOR Raid.

Congrats, sorry I missed it :(
I remember in Vanilla being summoned to Burning Steppes to help defeat Thunderaan on my first character ever (was mid 50's as I recall).
Glad you could get the sword in style and with a group of friends.
