Pretty soon we should have finished the game and all raid content will be defeated on Heroic (I hope), so the raid week should get shorter and we'll have less to do until MoP arrives. With this in mind, we're currently considering setting up a PTR guild raid group to participate in the Beta testing of the new Level 90 MoP raid instances.
There's been a degree of interest in this within RGT, so this is advance warning that we've heard the talk and would like to do this if enough people are interested in supporting the endeavour. We've done great in Dragon Soul and we have advanced the Guild's progress compared to previous raid tiers and we know the appetite is there to do even better. Experiencing the PTR raid tests would allow us clear the Normal mode encounters more quickly and allow us to advance into the real game, Heroic raid bosses, at the earliest opportunity.
If you're interested in participating then please let us know in this thread. Obviously what you need to have is a Beta account and to have the PTR client updated at the point L90 raid testing is started. Depending on when Blizzard announce the testing, it might mean any day of the week, but be aware PTR raid testing usually only lasts 60-90 minutes and is a single encounter only per test. For example we might end up doing 60 minutes on the PTR then clearing DS Heroic, or interrupt a DS Heroic raid to move to the PTR (then back to DS Heroic afterwards), or use an otherwise empty night (when DS is already cleared) to spend an hour on the PTR raid test.
For clarification, we're NOT looking to add this as an additional raid day, it's intended to fill otherwise quiet evenings when Dragon Soul content is all down.
As you know I have already expressed interest in doing this, so I am in.

They'll open up Premade characters @ 90 for the raid testing I'm guessing.
