The Plan-net CORE

Wow, the eve of the first Pod Molten Core run. I'm extremely excited, and I assure you that the rest of the Pods are, too. After last night's lackluster ZG performance, it'll be nice to see some new scenery. Hopefully, we'll down Lucifron, and begin to see what the big deal here is. It's taken us quite a while to get to this point, but at long last, we're here. Ragnaros is hardly in danger, just yet, but we're good mammals, we'll adapt.

If it weren't for the numbers issue that I discussed in an earlier post (i.e. 20 < 40), I'm sure that we't have been doing MC long ago, but the massive schism that the guild suffered about 3 months ago took about a 1/3 of our 60s, so we were starting from scratch, in essence. Rebuild we did, and are far better for it, now. We've picked up some nice loot from ZG, and that'll definitely help in the Core. I'm sure that there was considerable frustration from those that have been there before, that were stating over and over again that MC isn't harder than ZG in many respects. I can neither confirm nor deny this, but I know that when it comes to the general Pod raiding crew, we have a great chemistry and group dynamic, so we tend to be a bit more resilient to things that might go wrong. As to the ones that preferred ZG to taking a stab at MC based on gearing of the group, it's always important to remember that the very first MC raids went in with UBRS gear and nothing else. That's all there was at the time. Looking at the roster for tonight, I'm only seeing about half a dozen people that aren't in our regular raid rotation- if that. Even gold farmers get to 60, but Pods got skillz.

At any rate, it'll be interesting. Get to see what Core dirt tastes like. New menu items rock.

PS- The final seal has been broken. The moon will turn to blood, and the sky as black as sackcloth as all the stars fall from the heavens. The Horsemen are unleashed on their infernal ride. Grats on 60 Siobhanne!
