I should be there this Friday. I also signed up on GuildPortal for the raid.
My current hope for the Friday runs is to get a regular, solid, full 20 man raid of ZG. I still have interest in 5 manning Scholo, doing DM North tribute runs, doing UBRS with the Lurkers, and ensuring that our groups are successful. I might opt for a PUG 20 man raid if I'm not needed with the LS/Lurkers group as I did last week. There just isn't much left that will progress Durambar in the other places or in raiding 5 man instances, so my interest there has waned considerably.
We still lack the numbers to make much progress in ZG, and that is where I'd like to focus my efforts. I think we should start actively recruiting players to make the weekly runs, with the focus on making ZG progress. I don't think seeking another guild to ally with is going to yield what we need to be successful in ZG. With the Lost Souls, we have a larger pool of great players to get things done on various nights, but my primary reason for pursuing a guild alliance was to get to the 20 man raid dungeons, and that has not been met. We are much closer, but in my opinion based on the experience of the past several weeks, that we have added about 4 Lost Souls members whose goals and schedules make them compatible for the Friday runs. That still has us many players short of what we need. I like what we have with LS and I'm not suggesting we destroy the alliance, but they should know that we're still looking for more.
I think it is time we put together a post for the Terenas Realm Forums. We have a very specific type of player we are looking for, a very specific schedule, and a very specific goal. Hopefully we can pick up a few more classy people with similar goals and schedules. We should also start filling up extra slots with pickup people prior to planned start time, with the same goal of finding good, regular people to play with. A couple of good players could allow good word of mouth recruiting, and that should give us an acceptable sized roster to pull 20 players from. I think that any classy player who regularly shows should be able to achieve the same roster slot security that any Lurker or Lost Soul can obtain, regardless of the tag under the name. Those that sign up and then not show (without cause) just can't have a slot held for them in the future, though they're welcome to still come. I'd like discussion on this matter.
