Happy Birthday! The best choice I ever made in raiding was Conquest. Miss you guys!

Congratulations on your first birthday! Great to see that you are learning from your experience – and willing to acknowledge that you didn’t do things perfectly, but you are trying to learn from that. So many GMs just can’t do that.

Best of luck for the next 12 months!

I’m very glad to hear about you working toward laying multiple 10s out. I have a soft spot in my heart for a good 10 man raid that will never be filled by the big groups of 25s.

I also think that 9 hours is about perfect for a raiding guild because it gives a lot of time for off-peak side runs, but still gives plenty of time for the progression-minded players to enjoy themselves.

Here’s to another year!

Cool post Always interesting to hear about other people’s experiences with their guilds. I totally agree with your observations, especially the “can’t keep everyone happy” and “people will come and go”. It’s a fact of life with guilds and you just gotta relax and go with the flow sometimes, letting people do as they please. Not point getting stressed if someone moves on or gets a little upset. I’ve run enough guilds in my time to know that it’s never possible to make everything perfect

Oh and happy birthday

Happy Birthday Conquest!

Matticus, you just reminded me to check out my guild’s birthdate too! I think we started around the same time.

Happy birthday Conquest. 9 hours you say? We do 12, and then another 4 for my ten man. Lately it’s been more than enough time as we end up wiping for 4 hours on hard mode stuff just to keep us busy till ICC comes out. >.<
I'd rather have 9 hours right now lol.

@Nigel: Once we get that place on farm, I think it can be cleared in about 6-7. The first few weeks will be spent learning and practicing all the boss encounters. There isn’t an overwhelming amount of trash.

Happy Birthday Conquest

Wish you the best of luck in ICC. I’m curious, do you think 9 hours will be enough for it with the number of bosses/thrash in there?

A very happy birthday to Conquest and many happy returns and adventures too!

Also congrats to all its members and you for keeping it going, Matt. Any ideas for what’s in the guild’s future other than IC10/25?
Mimetir´s last blog ..Juddr: So we’re looking at ToGC next weekend. Suspect it’ll glower back at us and spread us in itty bits over the walls, but it’ll be fun.
