Our little experiment in small friendly casual guilds is going pretty well, with a few very friendly folks joining over the weekend. We weren’t flooded with requests for an invite, which I was profoundly grateful for. We had a few people join, one at a time, and that gave us a chance to get to know each of you a little bit, rather than face a flood and go into fake-ass politician mode. (Fake smile, quick handshake, “Hey, how are ya”, NEXT!)

However, as we mostly had some level 1 alts come in to the guild, we are left a bit short in the ‘running a five man’ department. There is nothing wrong about that, but as they are level 1-10 right now, it does leave a bit of time before nekkid Deadmines runs can begin.

We did have a couple really nice folks do the crazy thing of server transferring over to join, but without a healer, 5 mans are a little tight just now, and Heroics are out of the question.

We are left with wanting to do SOMEthing once or twice a week.

So here is where I try to leverage (ick, business speak!) my blog into some in game activity.

If you happen to be on Kael’thas-US, and you are running Karazhan in your guild and could use a tank and a sword spec rogue, just give me an email with the contact for up there.

I don’t need any gear out of Karazhan, but I do like to run something each week, and if you are just starting up maybe having a geared tank could help. And I know Cassieann was really enjoying learning the fights in there, and she is pretty well geared too. I’d be careful though, she has a laundry list of gear she wants out of there a mile long. :)

Anyway, this isn’t aimed at serious raiders. If you are working on getting organized and fine tuning your teamwork, I’m sure you want to stay ‘in-guild’ for your progression runs. Having someone walk you through a difficult fight may help getting that fight down, but it doesn’t do much for developing teamwork and coordination for when you face the mroe difficult fights on your own.

But if you’re on Kael’thas, and you’re a pretty fun group of people that could just use a little oomph from a tank and a rogue once in a while, give us a call. I’d be grateful!

Our only thing is, we’d need to have some advance warning of when you’d like to go, or what weeknights work for you, because we are in the process of planning our reclaiming of our lives. We’ve got gym time thrice a week in the afternoons, some racketball on weekend mornings, time out with friends, and playdates for Alex to organize. So please, if you see us on, don’t be offended if we can’t go on a ‘last minute’ kind of thing. We finally might have something OUTSIDE the house going on!

Oh, and I hardly ever gloat or throw out the epeen on here for gear, since there ain’t much to brag about in the Karazhan level loot, but I did want to say… I got my Tameless Breeches last night. And applied my Nethercleft Leg Armor to ‘em.

I don’t give a darn that I’m wearing a skirt now, I gots me my new legs! Woot!
