Terenas -- Molten Core?

[mistique]

Love the idea, however as it's been pointed out i cant make that time, i dont finish work here until 12pm, which at present is 9pm server time, best i can do is say i'll be on and if needed can step in, though i'm not sure if anyone would be stepping out of a MC run but you never know.

Mistique.

usually Sat i would be able to get on early, 6-7 pm US time. Though not this sat.

So I just got the following email from Mordekhuul, GM of Keepers of the Dusk with whom many of us have raided AQ20 or ZG with (in fact last night we had 6 lurkers in on the same raid).

Hi Lurkers,

I think its just about time to start looking at putting a 40-man run in place, and we are considering Fridays as a regular Molten Core night, with Onyxia thrown in here and there I'm sure (once everyone is keyed).

I picked Friday because my understanding is that a good number of lurkers are available on Fridays, and I believe it is a better day for many keepers as well.

I am just now feeling out my members on Friday runs, so nothing is final, but I'd like your feedback ASAP for planning purposes.

The plan is to drop the Saturday raid night, and instead run a 40-man on Fridays in much the same style as our ZG and AQ20 runs.

Suicide Kings for looting.  The only open question is how to handle the dark iron ore, cores, and other items critical to gearing up our MT.  In an ideal world (all-guild run) these would be banked and allocated to the MT first, then to other tanks and eventually rogues, etc.  With a multi-guild raid the best we may be able to fairly do is have everyone /roll for them at the end of the raid and hope we win enough to quickly gear up the MT, etc.  Your thoughts are welcome!

I have a few other groups I am going to feel out as well, such as Dusturm and his guild, the other ZG regulars from Dreadnaughts and other guilds, etc.

My hope is to have a core group of dedicated regulars that work hard to make every run.  We will need this even more than in ZG to progress.

Give me feedback on Friday as a date choice first, and when possible give me a list of Lurkers that would like to commit to making Fridays regularly, their classes, and their specs or willingness to re-spec for MC.  (No respect will be required of course, but I can see myself respecing for it now that pvp is done).

Mordekhuul

I, for one, welcome our new.... just kidding.

At any rate I am totally up for committing to this. Fridays continue to be my best day by far (current two months excepted as nearly any day is a good day for me right now). I like Suicide Kings in general a lot. As far as MC mats, it will take some discussion.

I think if we can get some people to strongly commit to these (thinking MT warrior primarily) I wouldn't mind reserving certain classes of those drops for the good of the raid. I'd like to see this person be either a Lurker or a Keeper so the likelihood of bolting would be lessened. The Dursturm he mentioned I don't know much about but it looks like he is leader of a 5 person guild that 5 mans everything together. I do know he is a warrior who is very well geared in terms of blues (much like Conc). Trickiest part is the MC mats like he said.

Initial concerns:

I assume they would want to have a start time of 6:30 as that is their normal start time. This is not convenient for some of us (Conc in particular). It would help accomodate Alram which is good. Nothing would make me feel better about this than Conc being able to come and be one of the main tanks.

edit: And Mistique with the time change in April that pushes him back to about 9 iirc.

Fridays I know are not convenient for Jandrey :( I do think that as we become successful that spillover into Saturday is likely to occur but I do not know about that.
As he's asking for feedback ASAP (I think he wants to keep the Blood of Virtue MC invitations from stealing his folk), please post your thoughts and discuss.
