Raiding 25man Status
Posted: October 6th, 2008, 7:24 pm
For a time, we had some very nice momentum in progressing into the end game content, but being a late blooming guild has the major disadvantage that we only start playing with the big boys' right when the next expansion is released. Overall, I think we've done an excellent job of balancing fun, progression, the social aspects of a guild, real life, and keeping everyone as respected family members, which by and far is one of Forged Alliance's strong points. But things are starting to ramp down a bit.
Wotlk is coming, so we wanted to focus on Vashj for a while to finish off T5 content, because we know we have the talent and gear. We gave her some of our best, but simply put, it's not happening. We're now burned out, and not having fun anymore. That said, we'll be changing our focus back to BT/Hyjal and probably a Mag run here or there to help people finish up some stuff. This way we can get some more boss kills under our belt at least. (Instance depending on who/what we have for the raid)
Attendance: Our Wed raids are horrible. No one shows up (Other than some wonderfull people
). Once we get the calendar up and running we'll be able to see what we need to fill these spots ahead of time, but until then organized raids on Wed will be stopping. Hopefully this should get people the chance to get some Unorganized raids of whatever they wanna do on Wed, old world (BWL) or T4 (Mag).
Until Wotlk drops, we'll keep trying to get some boss kills in, but interest in raiding difficult material is declining. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to cancel more raids due to lack of attendance or whatnot, but we'll attempt and keep the spirit of it all alive, by running around together and killing big things together. Even if it does result in arguments over vent about the DKP value of that green that just dropped off hogger. Because at the end of the day, all that matters is that we did it together.
