Hey guys Shiki here, your friendly neighborhood furbolg. Just wanted to let everyone know that after a bit of talking and planing we're looking into doing 25man runs in tandem with other guilds. We did a test run last Tuesday night and it went rather well. We had about 15 FPer's representing and a few pugs and quite a few people from Venture Brothers. All in all it was a lot of fun and we managed to kill a boss and get some loot. At the moment FP isn't large enough to do 25mans on its own, but there are still a lot of people interested in 25mans. So here's the deal...
Keyknight (krotas), Myrevenge and Myself are going to be spearheading this operation. There are a few things we're looking for:
Members:
First off we're looking for other guilds our size interested in 25mans. If you know of any get in touch with them. If you have friends in dead-end guilds that have the gear and want to do 25mans. Let them know! The more people we get interested in this, the easier time we have filling up the raids and killing bosses.
People:
First and foremost, we want dedicated people. We're looking for players who genuinely want to raid and want to learn and see new content. Don't come because you feel like you need to, and don't come expecting 24 other people to carry you along. We want to do this right and to do that we need good solid raiders. Not asking you to be hardcore about it, just want some lvl of commitment and pride in the fact that you want to help and make this work.
Gear: If any of you are unaware, Ulduar is not a cake walk. We're not going to be Nazi's about letting people in because of gear, but if you roll up in all pvp gear, or full blues we will probably ask you to step out. If your unsure of your gear, we will also be running 25man Naxx's during the weekend for people interested in those last few upgrades to polish off your gear.
An Open Mind:
This is not a sanctioned FP raid. There will be new voices on vent. There will be new people outside the guild in the raid. We will also not have any of the raid leaders you FP people are familiar with. But we are going to keep the spirit of FP raiding. If you find yourself lonely and miss the gentle caress of Stang's touch send me a tell and I'll give you a /fondle or whatever you need.
So, to all current FP members our next raid (Tues 5/5/09) is up on the Raid Signup Page.
To all the non FP members welcome, plz feel free to sign up to our forums and you will probably have to sign up on the Raid Signup Page. When you do plz use the name of the character you are going to raid with to make it easier on us as we adjust the sign ups. As for sign-up rules, we normally work on a first come first serve basis, and do invites 30 minutes before the raid starts (7:00 pm server time). If we are not full on a certain class/role we will start recruiting from overflow 15 minutes later (7:15 pm server time). And if all goes well the raid should start on time at 7:30.
If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to get in touch with Keyknight(Krotas) Myrevenge or Shikimaru in game or in this post.
I'll try and update this with more information as needed.
