Vanilla Raids (EU)

[pilfkin]

Wondering whether anyone has any interest in running the old world raids either for giggles or (RP) gear, or just to see the content. I'm a BC girl so not totally sure what is possible but thought I'd throw it out there for discussion.

Updated:

Having had some discussion on g chat about this I think that we've reached some conclusions:

While there is a fine line between making it very hard on ourselves and brute forcing it, the concensus seems to be that we want to treat the content with some respect and not burn through it for lulz (please feel free to correct me if I've gotten the wrong end of the stick).

I would therefore suggest that we say min of 60 and max of 70 (75?) to try and strike the right balance (as far as possible)

No-one should feel obligated to do this - it'll either run or it won't but I think enough people are interested to either see the content or get RP additions for their (overflowing) wardrobe bank to make it worth a shot.

Could people PLEASE therefore reply to say a) if they're up for it, b) which bit of the content they are interested in trying and c) convenient times... I know that agreeing on a time is hard but I'd like to make it as convenient as possible for as many people as possible!

I'm in no rush for this, so if people want to give it a few weeks more of levelling so they can come along that's totally cool with me

CAVEAT - I've done very few of the old raids (and those I have done I *ahem* burned through at 80...) Knowledge of the raids therefore would be very welcome so please holler back if you have any input/strats/advice etc etc

I'm in! I'll get my rogue to 60 and join in.

I seriously doubt we could raid the old-world stuff at 60... a. We wouldn't have 40 people; b. We wouldn't know the tactics. If we're 70... sounds feasible.

Just saying, anyway, since my lock isn't even 20 yet.

[pilfkin]

Ah yeah, Jen, I wasn't suggesting that we try to sort out a 40 man! I tried AQ40 with 20 odd 70s and it was darn hard!! It was just a suggestion to see whether or not people had any interest in exploring the 'old' content at some point

[len]

I love seeing 'old content' but my levelling pace is... well.. slow In theory it's a hell yes from me, in practice maybe not so much!

The 40-mans are now actually tuned to be 25-mans, we also have access to better gear and talents than they did in Vanilla. Classes are overall a lot stronger than they were. 15-20 people is probably enough for MC.

Tactics can easily be found and read up on, in addition there are probably several people in the guild with sufficent knowledge about the vanilla raids. I've seen all of the current available Vanilla raid content and would love to see it again so I'd be able to give a helping hand with tactics.

Have faith! ;D

There are some oldskool raids that I wouldn't mind seeing again (I loved BWL) and some that I would rather poke a sharp stick in my eye rather than see again (AQ). But if we tried to do it properly rather than just burning through it for lolz, I'd be interested. It always seemed a bit disrespectful to the places that we spent so much time in back in the day.

[pilfkin]

bump for the edit to my original message...

[jen]

Sadly I don't think my warlock will be anywhere near 60 in the near future, so I'll have to bow out of this for the time being.

[Jaedia]

I'd be up for it BWL and AQ would be fun but whatever people want to do. I'll probably continue levelling in the meantime but put me down as interested

[pilfkin]

Yeah I'm not turning my xp off - I did consider it but I imagine I'll hit a rough patch somewhere and end up hating on myself for doing so. IIRC Scholo and Strat are now 5 man-able? Could try that sometime this week..?

[jen]

Strat is the best way to hit 58 if you've got friends farming for the mount

...too bad she's not on AD, she boosted my alt and my bf' and she still didn't get it.

(Sorry, never did it at the appropiate level without being boosted, but yes, I'm pretty sure they're 5 mans - actually it never occured to me they were smth else?!)

[Issy]

If I am around when you plan to go, I will probably join in

[zahia]

I'd like to come if a raid is sheduled

[gowron]

One MC-attuned lvl55 Resto-Shammie raises his hoofs

Several things to consider.

MC: I seem to remember that there's a quest to actually summon Ragnaros?
BWL?Ony: As far as I know, The Horde can still get attuned for Onyxia (Drakefire Amulet), which also includes slaying 4? world-dragons.
AQ40: Twin emperors is hard...


Indeed Brute-forcing our way through would be less fun (..through wiping, we learn), but we could take some 80's if they want to go, just force them to wear 'lower' gear, or RP-gear.
