Ok, we had a meeting with the Runic Raiders and they would like to party with us for Gruul's Lair. Before we can do that though we need to do some cooperative things with them(party with them in 5 and 10 mans) so we can get to know them better and vice versa. They do have a clean chat policy so we will have to save our creative chat for guildchat when we are grouped with them since they do have younger kids in their guild. At the moment though, we aren't officially doing anything with them yet since they are spreading word to their guildies about this possible cooperation and seeing how good the idea will be. This is the reason for this post.
I need to know how many would be interested in partying up with the Runic Raiders? This means joining another GEM channel and chat channel as well as working with them in end game content(heroics, 25 man and 10 man raids). They use the same loot rules we do which is known as the friendly roll system so there is no dkp or point system involved. They are almost identical to our guild in policy and times of availability. Some benefits I like the sound of is the combined numbers to do Karazhan. What better way to get into Kara than have 2 different Kara runs you can participate in possibly.
If you are interested in partying up, let me know what raid times would be good for you. So far we have given them the general time of Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sundays. They said they raid Kara 2 days early in the week.
We don't expect instant success once we go into Gruuls of course so it will be a bit painful at first but I'm sure everyone will know the fight once we have made multiple attempts. Of course, we plan on working on the partying with them until both guilds feel comfortable enough to step into Gruuls so it might be a few weeks before we go 25 man it.
And to help out more, if you're not sure if you're geared for Gruuls for instance, Highgrade has made a post to help you figure out if you are good to go or not here.
Also, if you have any questions, please ask here and I can answer what I can as well as the officers that attended the meeting we had with the Runic Raiders.
