Ready Check: PuG Raids and You
Jul 22nd, 2008
Ready Check is a weekly column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, ZA or Sunwell Plateau, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. This week, we brace ourselves and enter LookingForGroup.
Fancy a bagful of badges and maybe a bit of loot too? Are the words "Anyone for Kara?" met with deathly silence in your guild? Do you despair you'll ever get that vial from Vashj?
Never fear, because PuGs are here to save the day. Instead of raiding with a group of guildies who are mostly competent, know the instance inside out and have a unified set of strategies, you too can spend an evening with random people from the LookingForGroup channel who think green is the new purple. Who's with me?
15 Minutes of Fame: More than mere Leftovers Part II
Jul 22nd, 2008
Last week, 15 Minutes of Fame brought you Part I of our exclusive chat with the Leftovers raiding community. The Leftovers are neither a guild nor an alliance. Instead, they're an open-ended uber-community of players on Silver Hand -- both guilded and unguilded -- raiding everything from Old World content and Karazhan all the way up through 7/9 BT.
Check out their phat stats:
- The Leftovers run some 70 to 80 raids per week.
- Ninety percent of players who sign up get into raids.
- Over the past 3 weeks, 661 players (on 1,094 characters) have attended a Leftovers raid.
- More than 1,700 players have attended or signed up with Leftovers raids since the Burning Crusade launched.
- The Leftovers marked their three-year anniversary in May of this year with eight Magtheridon/Gruul runs, including seven kills, plus four Molten Core fun runs.
