Recruitment
Ab Aeterno is currently not looking to recruit more players.
However if you are trying to join family in AbA, or if you think you got what it takes to sway our opinion on recruitment being closed, poke an officer ingame or via PM on the forum, and we can take a look at the case.

Upcoming Raids
As of tonight the 25man raiding is firing up and we're planning to do 2-3 25mans a week, so availability allows.
Given the interchangeability of 25- and 10-man raiding, we might vary amounts and places a bit, we'll also have to find out how the various bosses are stacking up in difficulty compared to their 10man versions.
Much to learn. 25mans for this week and the following one are up on the raidcalendar!

Upcoming changes
The stuff I can currently find:
- Rune Strike will get a heavy damage nerf but in return an equal threat-buff to make it a pure tanking tool.
- Icebound Fortitude gets reduced to half, but scales up with Defense gear (to fix PvP issues with it). In return Frost Presence gets buffed to mitigate the impact from this.
- Bone Shield will get some nerf. Specifically it gets halved to -20% damage.
- Blood Tanking will get a buff. Specifically Vampiric Blood now also gives +20% max HP while it lasts, acting as a mini-LastStand on a 60s cooldown.
- Ulduar will be noticably tougher than the current content, though specifically not of early-BT/MH/SWP levels. More accessible than all those, but tougher than the relatively rushable Naxx content.
- Ulduar will have Hard Mode encounters, where you can win items, mounts, achievements, all that kind of stuff. Specifically Achievements are meant to ramp up the difficulty of the place noticably, but also offer actual rewards in some cases (think Sartharion + Adds -> more loot and potentially a mount).
- Mana regen is being looked at, and might get fused into a single mechanic - I suspect that means spirit is the "regen-stat" independant of class and spec?

DKP page
I cleaned up most things, removed characters, I think I updated most to their current char too.
I also changed the costs to something of a middle ground between the positions we had when we talked about DKP in Northrend. I explained it a bit more in-detail in the Rules page of the DKP system, but basically the impact should be perceivably minimal, so it should mostly work behind the scenes.

Season 5 is coming
17th of December starts Arena Season 5, so we can expect it to bring not only the first full Arena sets (of which single pieces already show up on bosses like Archavon), but also the Shard and Honor gear to go along with it.

Patch 3.0 is inbound
And consquentially, the raids for the last four weeks of TBC have been posted, focusing exclusively on ganking the endbosses with our new abilities, talents and their ... well... actually nerfed power.
In case you haven't read the changes of 3.0, the sometimes large changes to classes made it necessary to do some changes to raidbosses:
While much of this was necessary due to the changes, it still makes the raids a) a lot faster due to everything having less health and b) a lot less unforgiving in specific currently hit-or-miss fights.
Check out [abaeterno.org] for the list of raids, go sign!
In case you haven't read the changes of 3.0, the sometimes large changes to classes made it necessary to do some changes to raidbosses:
- All lost 30%, even the trashmobs. All bosses and all trash in TBC raidinstances, that is.
- Most bosses and some trash lost sizeable amounts of damage output, plus they cannot crush anymore - only mobs +4 levels or higher can crush now.
- Some bosses lost specific abilities players just can't counter anymore with the new talent layouts.
While much of this was necessary due to the changes, it still makes the raids a) a lot faster due to everything having less health and b) a lot less unforgiving in specific currently hit-or-miss fights.

Client downloads and chartransfers are linked from there, but last I checked wait for copies was 8 hours, and the queue was so full they didn't even accept more requests for premade charcopies. :S
