.......when I realised that even Ovo went 4/8 last night.

It raises a serious question regarding progression.  If we aim for raid progression, are we giving ourselves a fair chance by raiding Thursday, a day after all the other raid guilds have had a crack at the content?   Currently by not raiding for 24 hours we've pushed our guild ranking down to 29th on the progress list with only 1/8 progression (and there's only 32 guilds on the list!).

I know I should not be worried by guild ranking, but actually in reality our ranking drives our feeling of relative progression as it ranks us with other guilds and has a direct impact on how well we can recruit.

If we'd gone 4/8 last night we'd be somewhere between 6th-19th which is more like where we should be.  Even if we go 4/8 tonight we'll still get less points per kill than yesterday's kills so we're fighting an uphill battle.  I know this will change as Heroic modes thin the progression line, but it would be nicer to be starting off with an advantage rather than playing catch up.

So, should be be considering a Wednesday raid?

I mentioned this on TS last night and I think we should,  but only when new content is available.  I know at least a couple of people in RGT can't raid on Wednesdays.

I guess the first place to start is with a quick poll amongst members to see who can make Wednesday and who cannot.  If we bash through content quickly tonight and go more than 4/8 then it makes the discussion less important (until heroic modes), but a poll is worth doing anyway I think just so we know which  options are available to us.

It can be done and as long as we plan in advance and its special event and a one off... I dont think we should get too wraped up in where we are server wise. The tables should even out over time. Its more a nice to have than a need

I know its knocked us down a bit at the start but it did give rgw a needed moral boost


/ OT......If we did go down this route would we have the option to go 25 man for the 1st raid night  ?
