Last week, I'd have not even bothered to read a post with the subject line this one has. When people talked about gearing up to see BT before the expansion, I thought it impossible.

I was wrong.

The nerfing of instances with 3.02 is now such that one can, and I have, not only successfully but easily pug T5 instances. So, I'm going to try and schedule some T5 content raids, starting with TK. Will I be able to get 25 signups? Almost certainly not. However, the raids will go on by filling vacancies from LFG.

I do not want to interfere at all with TN's already scheduled raids, so the times I'm thinking are weekend afternoons, or Tuesday or Wednesday nights.

I dont' believe I have the privileges to add raids to the guild raid calendar on this site, but I will add them to the new online calendar, and will also create entries at http://xguildraids.com/

Anyone interested should signup, and anyone who knows other people that are interested should encourage them to also signup! The fewer strangers we have to take from LFG, the better, but we will flesh out the 25 that way.

I know several of you, like Al, prefer to skip a raid altogether than PuG it. In this case, I ask you trust me that the preponderance of TNers and the nerfing of the content will make it a minimal problem at most.

To begin with, I'm going to schedule the same raid in all 4 time slots I mentioned. Sign up for all you can make, and I will choose the one with the most signups and delete the other three.

THe first one will be TK -- VR, Solarian, and (maybe) A'lar. No Kael. Anyone who suggests Kael gets /boot2thehead.


P.S. If this first series goes well, then I'll actually schedule a BT run for the end of this month, after Texian gets back.

I'm in as always, schedule and work permitting.

I went and signed up over there. You needed an awesome Healadin!

count me in if I am on

Tex, Tell me when you want them and I will put them on the calendar, no problem. The in-game calendar is wonky, and I am still working out the kinks with it... folks have put things up that some can see and others can't. So not sure how that will work.

Thanks stepping up, very few of us have the knowledge/experience base to do those runs. Much appreciated.

M -- just noticed there isn't anything on the guild calendar for W (tonight) or Thurs (tomorrow). Could you put a ZA run up for tonight, and a TK run up for tomorrow? I can lead both.

With ZA as easy as it is now, no reason we shouldn't clear it every reset.

I posted the two raids you requested on this calendar.

And I made sure to sign up! hehe
