A very cool time with a SAN Group

[eldude]

So yesterday Waterlemon (US Server) made a comment how the group he was in with the random LFD tool was biting big time. So I asked if he needed a tank. He didn't but said after he completed this instance he would be game to try another with some SAN members.

Just like clockwork Waterlemon gave a shout over guild chat when he was done and I jumped on it. My paladin Wojolovik and another 3 SAN members all grouped up. I wish I wrote down all the other members now of course, but we queued and got SFK. We rocked it in a good pace, no wipes or deaths, and good loot was dropped.

The main reason I am posting this was it has been a really long time since I was in a guild where there were enough members online that we all did an instance together. The teamwork was there and we had a good time knocking it out.

I think it's fair to say I came on board SAN to meet other bloggers. I didn't expect so many cool individuals, so many helpful people giving advice, and offering coins for people in need of that last gold to get their 1st mount, and also such the positive attitude.

So even though it's been a short time in SAN I have to give thanks to the guild. You guys have brought back a lot of fun into the game. I don't hear mention of that evil word "Gearscore" and there is no pressure to put stuff together for a raid, heroics, etc... I haven't seen people complaining or whining about anything and overall it's just one awesome guild.

Thanks SAN!

I did a very quick run with some SAN members when Meja first hit 15. It was my first time ever using a Pally, or melee dps toon, in a dungeon so I was super nervous. The people in the group with me were super great and any time I asked if I was doing okay they provided words of encouragement rather than telling me I suck and needed to hide under a rock forever. :-P So I definitely understand what you are saying; randoms with SAN members are awesome and there are almost always enough people on to do them without having to pug.

Fun times. Glad you're enjoying yourself, eldude! If you're not sure who's who, I'm the altoholic in charge of (Brithne, Otavis, Gwyndi, Cerveth, Jinzie, and Zarieth)!

I also had the great good fortune to run across Welderr the other day in the middle of a Gnomeregan, totally randomly. More SANmembers makes everything better!

Being Waterlemon, I have to say that I have run randoms a few different times with folks from SAN, and far and away they are just a ton of fun and low stress. Before starting up with the guild I seriously was thinking about giving up WoW for ST:O or something else. Having played for a while as first Michelenea and then now as Waterlemon, I have found new enjoyment in playing again.

I look forward to more of us getting to 80 and seeing if that enjoyment translates to into doing heroics and the like. I know SAN isn't really set up for raiding, but I guess if a bunch of us get together and decide we want to, no one will stop us.

I also had a nice experience today with SAN-US group. I am the WoW newbie here. My highest level is 22 and, content with questing for now, I don't volunteer for the randoms everyone is always going in. Today I was asked if I wanted to go. I replied that *gasp* I had never done one and I was nervous. The reply was "well, we will just have to fix that!". LOL So my very first dungeon (Ragefire Chasm) was with two guildies (Kaindah and Zarieth) and two people who came in randomly. I healed it on my druid at level 17 with only one small casualty. The tank didn't see that I needed mana and was drinking so he ran ahead. Even though I ran frantically after him, I didn't get to him in time. Other than that, it was an awesome experience for me to have my first dungeon with such patient and friendly people.

ETA: just noticed the two that I went with are in this thread (meja and rhii). Thanks you two! I couldn't have asked for better guides.
