Family and Friends Weekend

It's been a great week for the Rifties even though the game is boring as anything at the moment. The most exciting thing this week has been Brenton's Heroic Videos are on youtube again.  I'm just so proud of us when I see these videos.  Brenton is definitely very talented in making them. If you want have a look at these videos click here and here.

The family and friends weekend will be happening next weekend.  We will be inviting your family members girlfriends and boyfriends, husbands and wives to roll a toon on your account, pop into Teamspeak and meet the raiders each other and experience Warcraft first hand.  I'd like to have an officer on TS most of the time to help host this event, one or two long term members just so that we can create a welcoming experience. I'm hopeful that holding this event will help out with understanding what we do.  I'm also kind of hopeful that this event will result in recruiting a few casual players for the next expansion.  As you know I was converted from a WoW hater to the WoW lover that I am now in this way.  Warcraft is now an activity that I share with my family, wouldn't it be great if you too could enjoy this experience with your significant others. We might get some more girl guildies too :)

We might need a guild meeting next week some time perhaps Wednesday to discuss the possibility of smashing the last two bosses on Normal HFC on another day to maximize the time we spend on Monday and Wednesday completing heroic bosses.  It takes us 20 minutes to down Manno and Archie that's at least one attempt on a new heroic boss.  If we can get together on one day a week for just 20 minutes to get everyone a trinket this would be a great advantage to our progression.  The raid time has been an issue because we are unable to start at the designated raid time. We need to push back the start time to 9pm Server time and finish 11pm server time which reduces our time further. Making it even more important that we utilize what little time we have most effectively.  We need to reduce our down time between pulls. We can do this by saving our chatting for after the raid or before the raid, moving onto the next trash quickly we don't all need to be hanging around waiting for Bashy to be distribute the loot. We can do this I'm sure.

Pangit is starting alt runs which will be happening on Thursday and Friday nights starting at 9pm server time.  The challenge mode idea isn't getting much traction, I'm going to keep trying to get this organised.  If you have any ideas on this please let me know.
