Plan a raid late September Early October?

[thelonius]

I'd like to raid sometime in the second half of September or in October... Maybe Rift otherwise 6 man somewhere? Should Moria be released, I'd prefer to try a new raid ;D

Anyone want to join a future raid? (where and when would you be interested??)

[Verewen of Rohan]

I don't care where we go as long as we get to do something as a group. I miss the Rift. But I'm totally open to some of the other content that I haven't experienced yet.

I can do any nights of the week except Thursdays and Sundays.

[Bubub]

It is I, Bubub, returning for grand adventure. Luck would have it that I can do something Sunday night, even early for you on the other side of the country, and Monday night as well.
My list is long and plenty.
Epic- Carn Dum I do believe book 7, chapter 8?
I would like to kill that big spider in Angmar?
There is the island where all the priests are. I snuck in there, but even I could not take that on lol.
East Angmar where the trolls are? Never been up there. Drakes or something.
The drakes in the West.
Annuminas.
Uru?

The possibilities are endless. You name it, I probably have not done it.
So lets get some liquid refreshments and make a night of it.
Roleplaying optional, but encouraged.
Hobbit kicking not allowed.

[Zabrak]

You know (or you should) that I'm up for anything.

Scheduling is the only issue.

I'm there - if I can be.

[OnyxBlade]

ok! Let's get Freesia to start with the planning for this epic event! (notices that I still haven't given the new Officers modship of the boards) Yeah..uh...I'll do that tonight! Promise!

[OnyxBlade]

Just throwing out some options....

Bogbereth (Mommy spider)
The Raid in IB (I can track down the quest chains for this if desired)
The Rift
A bit of Helegrod
Annuminas Bosses outside of the instances (have to be in the fellowship that tags it to gain credit, so we'd have to do each one 2 or 3 times each)
Ettenmoors

[thelonius]

Bubub!! Glad ta see yer still around

Sunday night works for me! We should think about planning some 6 person raid/quests?

I could do monday, but Tuesday is better for me for a regular raiding night. Friday is good also. I'd add Sunday, but without Verewen the Fair and mighty, Thelonius is umm kinda preferring to wait until Monday for 12 person or larger raiding.

Helegrod would be great, but we might need some other kins to assist to make this a reality to have enough freeps ;D

The IB raid is one I'd like to do, but still needs some of the chain quests. I'd be willing to help with Bogbereth if it would involve some new people in raiding who think they'd like to join us in the future. The spider would be a great "training" raid to work on teamwork for longer harder encounters like the Rift, I think...

[Zabrak]

Let's go kill that spider!

[Neckrom]

I would love to join in also. Akor is only 42 now but will most likely be high 40's if not 50 by the end of next month.

[Brunli of the Many Names]

I'm in!!!

[Hitorichan]

I think Sharliana was 39 when she first got drug up to visit Bogbereth...

[Freesia]

'Tis I, your not all that newly-elected and not all that busy activities officer.

I apologize for my silence on the raiding and grouping issue, TBH I'm still getting my head wrapped around the new stuff to do after my forced 5-week absence. Now that I have a new fancy computer, though, I'm interested in trying to get us raiding again and getting some instances going.

As far as raiding goes, it looks like Monday, Tuesday and Friday are our best bets (I'm out on Wednesdays, V is out on Thursdays, and Sat/Sun nights have always been a little iffy). I'm still not sure we can field a viable group of 12 any night of the week, that might be a subject for an off-forum discussion of some kind.

One thing I would like to do more of is have scheduled events during the week, 6-mans and epic quests and other activities so that those of us who are bored leveling our 3rd character (cough) can have something to do rather than afk, alt-tab and play spider solitaire (cough).

Seriously though, I miss the 6-mans. Annuminas is a ton of fun, and Goblin Town is always good for fun and profit. I think we have a group of 40s about ready to do Tomb of Elendil, as well. Then there's always CD and Uru for class quest items and questing.

Ony, I'm not familiar with the IB raid - if you could track that down let's talk about it. it might not be important to have "perfect" or "full" groups for that kind of raid, kinda like Bogbereth. I think we could swing that, even if we brought along some 40s.

I'm going to start a formal 6-man instance thread over in Mustering. Let's try to limit this thread to discussing our raid options, and please chime in if scheduling is a huge issue for you. If you're not available, EVER, on any one day, please post. If it's a one-time or erratic thing, I'm going to assume you can probably make yourself available at some point on any given day with enough notice, or that if you miss one night, you'll be around for the next one.

Before I get too excited at the prospect of Rifting/raiding again... I'm curious, do we have any LoreMaster's who are interested in raiding?? (hint, let us know we'd love to help make sure you are well equipped to join us!! we'll flex the schedule for you also

I'm not one to say it can't be done without a class, but crowd control really makes some of the battles easier. Class composition certainly wouldn't hold Thel back from trying. I'm posting this to inquire (we could make a new thread to "debate" composition).
