IC Ten-man guild: AKA WoW Boot Camp Project
Just curious, as I've heard from a few people that there may be interest in making this happen - how many people would be on board to create a 10 man Icrontic raiding guild? Obviously server/faction are undetermined, though I know a few Icrontians are on Tortheldrin.
Raid schedule is undetermined, but I would imagine 1-2 days maximum per week is relatively reasonable for most people.

Although most of us are in the Care Bears guild.
If you are willing to maintain a guild, talk to Ryder, current GL.
I'm down for some 10-mans, I can bring my unholy godly ret paladin along.
Gear, Gear, Gear.
yea, Ryder said it.
I would say the minimum for 10 mans would be Heroic ToC gear (219) and preferably at least 226 gear (Tier 8)
(yes I know there are raids that don't require that level gear, but there really is no point in doing anything lower than Ulduar, ToC, ICC, Ony these days unless you just like achievements)
Also know that besides Ony, raids last a few hours.
I know you all were away for awhile, but I'm gonna guess it will be a good 4-6 months before you are ready.
Ryder's done more raids than me, so he can enlighten you more. But it is all about gear, hence why gear checks are usually done.
Good place to check your "raid status" would be here http://www.wow-heroes.com/
We talked for EIGHT HOURS tonight; my mind is thoroughly blown. I have just begun to learn how to play for real based on this verbal crash course.
I feel like I took a college course in WoW.

Otherwise I might just bring the paladin back to Tortheldrin.
An efficient 5-man can plow 3-4 heroics an hour and if you're not being held back by dead weight healers like Resto Shamans, you'll be in raids in no time.
Getting 50 people in a 25-man guild from level 70 to 80 and geared to begin and complete 25-mans only takes 2 weeks in active and dedicated guilds. The world's best can do it in 10 days.
Probably not in, unless someone can be REALLY convincing.
It's rarely done because pickup groups are retarded. ilvl 200 items for OS10 or Naxx10 is child's play easy. Anything else is just overkill.
Dude, Tortheldrin is over 80% Horde. The Alliance pussy's don't even have enough players for Wintergrasp. If some 16 year old douche nozzle human paladin kills you somewhere, let us know.
FOR THE HORDE!
also, I got a level 70 Death Knight that will roll with you low level bitches if ya need. She pretty much can't die. I'll let ya know when I'm back in Mizzou.

I need to know, because I'm going to start interviewing each of you soon to set the stage for the beginning of this series.
Also, gearing is faster, better and easier than its ever been with the new Random Dungeon selection in the Cross-Realm dungeon system. Getting two extra badges and 13 gold per heroic to spend on enchanting/gemming your new gear makes it incredibly efficient.
I also need to know what days those that are involved at this point can make for our 2 day schedule (or possibly 3 day, if everyone can commit to that), and I'll need to talk with each of you about timing for these interviews.
In terms of the raid planning, for the purposes of this series, we'll be starting with each raid in order of its place in progression. While we may be able to jump into ICC 10 using the best badge gear available, it is my opinion that we'll provide better education through exposure to the challenges that came before ICC - in addition, this content will provide a significant amount of badges to the group, not to mention incremental upgrades few though they may be.
The goal is to turn an inexperienced group of new 80's into a competent, effective raid force. Everyone has to be level 80 by January 11th, that gives you just about a month to get there. Those of you that reach 80 prior to that date should begin heroics immediately. I would ask that you take no input from outside sources on which gear to purchase or talent choices to make, and do not run any other 10/25 raid instances with your Icrontic guild characters during any part of this process, unless we have already completed that raid instance as a group.
So the schedule is as follows:
December 15th - January 11th
Hit level 80
January 11th - February 1st
Run heroics in order to build a set of the highest level gear available
Week of February 1st
Complete Naxxramas 10
Week of February 8th
Complete Obsidian Sanctum 10, with two Drakes alive and time allowing Malygos 10
Week of February 15th
Complete Malygos 10 if not already completed, Begin working on Ulduar 10
Week of February 22nd
Complete Ulduar 10
Week of March 1st
Complete Trial of the Crusader 10
Week of March 8th - ?
Begin working on Icecrown Citadel 10
Please let me know as soon as possible what raid times work best for each of you, so that I can construct an effective raid schedule that will allow us to aggressively complete content in accordance with the series schedule detailed above. Also, please post your character's class.
If things progress faster than expected, we will proceed down the list in order as indicated above.
Other available options are Hunter, Death Knight, and Priest. Of the 3, my preference would be the hunter, and in any case, I'd want to be a damage build - I don't really like to tank or heal.
Let me know.
