Quote:I'd enjoy reading about the history of the guild these past couple of years -- if anyone would like to write it up.A short summary for you. Maybe somebody else will wall of text it heh.
It was decided that for TBC we would try to recruit some to be able to run 25 man dungeons on our own. Jester was guild leader during this phase (though, as always, decisions were a group effort). We got to where we could do 25 man raids, though there was also a general feeling that it didn't go quite as planned. Not all of the new people meshed right and people in general just weren't happy with the struggle to make it work.
In wrath Conc became the guild leader and it was decided that we would focus on 10 man dungeons to avoid the trouble that we had with recruiting. This has gone pretty well and we now raid 3 nights a week, often getting two locks going. There is also a 25 man raid ran weekly that is organized by members of our guild with members of Keepers (a friendly other guild which you may recall from MC) which I hear is going quite quite well.
In addition to this, Blizzard has implemented a dungeon queue system that has revolutionized the way dungeons are ran. So it is very easy to find groups now. Most people simply ask in guild and if somebody replies they party with them. Then they use the queue system and it fills out the group with players from multiple servers. There are gear requirements which generally make the runs go decently (though there are always exceptions).
There is even a 5 man that is considered somewhat of a challenge still, though it is getting easier and easier and will likely soon be a cakewalk too.
