Guild Update & Boss Checklist

Here's the quick version of how my current guild situation looks:

• -started a guild early on in a server's life, made it family oriented, casual, but also catered to those who wanted to level
• -when enough people started getting to level 60, they felt the temptation to join already existing hardcore raid guilds to see end-game content and get nice gear
• -I saw friends disappearing, but I couldn't join them, since I felt an obligation to my guild
• -my guild had become a "feeder" guild
• -I didn't like that
• -so, I made my own raid guild while keeping the old guild as is, and (here's the kicker) I let my old guild continue to be a feeder guild, but feeding to my own raid guild
• -when we started, we were still having trouble with places like UBRS
• -now, about three months later, we farm Hakkar, have beaten Kurinnaxx, Rajaxx, and Buru, and we're working on Ossirian, Onyxia, and MC
• -at the same time, the family oriented, casual guild still exists and is thriving.
• -anyone in the raid guild who needs a break from raiding can semi-retire by moving to the casual guild, and move back into the raid guild in the future, if desired
• -the guilds are "sister guilds", and we share a chat channel
• -raiders from the raid guild often help out the casual guild players do quests and level, and friendships are made and perpetuated (instead of divided between different guilds), and that, in turn, helps the raid guild because some of the casual guild players will eventually advance to the level they need to join the raid guild, and those friendships have already been forged
• -anyway, it works, but needs a lot of devotion from everyone, especially the guild leader
  

So, here are the bosses we've taken as a guild (which includes members from our sister guild):

ZG:
-The 5 priests (see the movie at here)
-Hakkar

-Bloodlord Mandokir
-Edge of Madness: Renataki, Wushoolay
-Gahz'ranka

AQ:
-Kurinnaxx
-Rajaxx
-Buru

MC (in conjuction with a separate guild, about 50/50):
-Lucifron
-Magmadar
-Gehennas
-Garr
-Baron Geddon
-Shazzrah
-Sulfuron
-Golemagg
-Majordomo


Our goals right now are:

ZG:
-Jin'do
-The remaining EoM bosses
-Farming Hakkar once per reset

AQ:
-Ossirian
-Moam
-maybe others
-Farming Ossirian (for my damnable mace!)

MC:
-guild-only start farming everything in there
-Rag (whew, wish us luck, but we'll probably be able to use the Ony and Hakkar buffs to help)

Onyxia:
-Kill, then farm Onyxia (hopefully once a week)


My raid guild has about 50 members, and I keep the numbers low, quality high.

The sister/casual guild has over 150 members (including alts), and we have about 10-15 potential high levels who can help the raid guild.


What we're really looking forward to is the expansion and the 25-man raids. Although we don't have all the fancy BWL and Naxx gear, I think the quality of our members will allow us to start on those instances immediately and effectively.

Well, that was exciting. More updates will come when we kick something else's ass.
