Alea iacta est… “the die has been cast”..

Yes Kevin, to answer your question, Alea Iacta Est (fan guild of The Instance Podcast) only accepts members now during the first week of each month so that’s when I put my level 10 (the minimum level) shaman into it.  “Alts” are allowed to join at anytime so I was able to get Rossa in.. actually it’s Sarossa now.  There was already a “Rossa” on Earthen Ring.

So far it’s been interesting.  There’s 5700+ people in the guild, it’s the largest in North America and might be the world now.  There was a EU guild that used to have more back when AIE was around 4500.  There’s just a ton of people on at all times.  No place to fit into the guild as a whole yet.  There are over 50 raiding teams.  A new 10man one is in the process of forming and I’m looking forward to raiding in it.

I haven’t started the early morning 25man team yet.. there seems to be a need, as none of the 25man teams are morning raids that I can tell.  Forming a 25man would be much simpler than forming a 10man as most of the classes/specs/buffs you need to make sure are there to succeed kinda take care of themselves just from being in a larger group.  In 10man there’s a more painstaking process to go through to make sure you have optimal raid composition.

I’ll worry about 25man after have settled in with 10.

Arguably the best 25man team there (“Not In The Face-25″.. the raid teams all have names) is on Tues & Sun nights but they aren’t recruiting and have a lengthy list of alternate players to fill in spots already.  With a morning raid, I’m not limited by the days I work =)

It’s funny, I’m just used to glancing and seeing “Rossa” so that on my target-of-target bar that I show to tell who the mob is attacking so that I can be aware of what’s goin on and if the mob I’m tanking has agro’d somebody else etc.. etc.. Anyway, I’m not looking for “Sarossa” with an “S”.. so the first couple days I was taunting mobs that were attacking me still because it didn’t say “Rossa” on that bar. O_o
