Classic CSM warrior and one of the first, if not the first CSM Aussie. Had to stop raiding with CSM at the end of Ahn'Qiraj 40 due to conflicts in time zones with schedule. Saying Galdregar was cool is like comparing apples to oranges, tanks to spanks, or cocks to blocks. Galdregar's acceptance of other classes and how balanced the game is eventually won him a spot as an officer of CSM.
He was also pretty much CSM's only Lua/mod-savvy player, ever. He spent some time doing basic boss mod coding for us while we were clearing through AQ before there was any form of widely used announces. Most notable was a counter for frostbolts hitting Viscidus so we could keep track of how long we had taken and a timer for the Twin Emperors, both backfired hilariously. The Viscidus one counted past a certain point and then started going backwards and into negative and the Twin Emps one spammed Raid with **2**.
During one week when no officers were able to attend, Galdregar was put in charge of the DKP system. He managed to charge Killswitcher tens of thousands of DKP for a min bid item which no one was able to undo. His DKP account was subsequently deleted, and he never managed DKP again.
Post CSM Classic
After leaving CSM, Gald rerolled as a mage named Rins on one of the unofficial Oceanic servers, Jubei'thos. Having been demolished in Warsong Gulch by many a pom pyro mage using full Netherwind, Gald thought mages must be pretty powerful, at least much more so than his warrior. He joined a levelling guild, Devolved, which was later absorbed into a shitter guild named... something I forget. They were pretty awful, still progressing through BWL well into Naxx. The guild eventually beat BWL with the help of some of the cunning plans Gald had stolen from CSM (and abuse of the battle shout + hunter pets aggro trick to control drakonids on Nefarian), but attendance dropped quickly once they tried to progress into AQ40. Later, Gald and Paj lead some determined forays into Naxx with the die hards who remained, clearing Razuvious once before the release of The Burning Crusade.
The Burning Crusade
Trying to free themselves of the shitters from classic, Gald and a couple of not so shitters formed a new guild when TBC hit - The Wild Nines. They cleared the opening raids - Gruul and Magtheridon - with some difficulty, and eventually got super stuck on Serpentshrine Cavern. A mass recruit from, at the time, the server number Alliance guild - Atrocitas, saw progress with grueling days of attempts at, and eventually kills of Tidewalker, Fathom-Lord and Leotheras, but everything fell apart when the master-loot decked main tank was poached by the server number one guild. After this, Gald quit the game in disgust.
Wrath of the Lich King
A few of Gald's friends from The Wild Nines convinced him to return for Wrath of the Lich King, where he used three years of accumulated leave to take four months off of work on release. Boy does he regret that. He rerolled a Death Knight, the new hero class, named Sarins and returned to his original CSM role as a tank. The guild was fine this time, but the content was not - weeks of Casualramas runs saw attendance dwindle, with eventually just fourteen regulars showing up for, and managing to easily clear, the twenty-five man version of Wrath's first raid. Ulduar's delayed release saw some pick up
