Nope, we did them in two days. Monday night and Tuesday night.

It was really fun to read but “So we did two full Kara clears in two days” does not really fit seeing as how there is a week long reset time after being saved, did you mean it only took one day per run but it was one run per week?

Nope. The troll leveled as Shadow. I didn’t go Holy until the runs for my Kara-key.(True story: My first Kara run, my healing gloves were an “of healing” drop from Sunken Temple – and the then-#2 guild was also at the summoning stone… they LAUGHED at me!)

Wow. . . I was 9 days played. . . as a BM Hunter! You musta really been flying. Were you holy the whole time or use another tree for leveling?

Yeah, 8 hours a day is about right. It was 6 or 7 on week days, and upwards from 12 on the weekends. I did take Christmas and Thanksgiving days off….

12 days played in a month is some serious game time. Must be doing 8+ hours a day to hit that.

Back in the good old days when my guild first started MC we had a couple of transfers join our server, which we tagged and helped level. The tank was one of our first Ragnaros kill tanks. He remained the MT the whole way through Naxx.

I used to post the leather wearing druid and rogue crafted items about 3 levels above them and decent BoEs (just a motivational carrot). Some of our alc’s used to post them pots constantly. I think there was even some Demonslaying weapon enchants getting sported at one stage.

Good players, skill, personality and commitment, is more important than levels and gear. The levels and gear are relatively quick and easy to acquire.

Once you start raiding, those crafted BoEs and BoPs which are not quite up to tier gear but almost as good can often be relatively cheap and easy to provide to recent 70s.

Ah… the no-girls-allowed policy stemmed from an experience with a certain female….

It wasn’t quite Death-and-Taxes level drama, but it was enough that to keep the guild together they decided to avoid any possibility of close association with another woman.

They realized it was a stupid idea (which was why they recruited me), but at the time, it seemed like a reasonable plan of action. After I was there drama-free for about 3 months, we recruited more women.
