GREEN TEAM Alpha - Klobben
DATE: Sunday, Feb 24th
TIME: 1pm server time (CST)
INSTANCE: Sunken Temple (44-50)

Even one of the thirty GWJ Alliance CFOs can't stop gushing about us: "I had a lot of fun!" -Reaper81

Come see what all the fuss is about.

Be sure to check the VENTRILO info, because it is more fun to talk then type. You'll find many of us in the "Those About to Block" room more often then not. Whether we are grouping or not, we tend to have fun conversations.

Again this is not a twink run. This is to get a group together of all GWJ Alliance within the same level range and develop everyone's experience in instance grouping and general fun. Alts from the veterans are encouraged to join the fun and offer their wisdom. Just ask them how much fun we have.

I am keeping this same thread as a way to gauge our progress and see how far along we have come. So be sure to check the starting post for changes.

And now, the ever growing legend of the Green Team...

[i]The GWJ Alliance - Green Team has thwarted Van Cleef's efforts of overthrowing the Kingdom of Stormwind from his Deadmines hideout. They have traversed the Naga and Satyr infested caverns of Blackfathom Deeps to aid the Argent Dawn in their battle against Lord Kelris and his Twilight Hammer Cult's plans to resurrect the hydra serpent, Aku'Mai. They entered the irradiated disaster of Gnomeregan to destroy the Mechgineer Thermaplugg and attempt to cleanse the Gnomish homeland of the atrocities that resulted from the radiation leak. Vanquished is the the leader of the twisted, spiky, vined fortress of the Razorfens, Charlga Razorflank.

And now, the next milestone in the Green Team's heroic journey has presented itself: The Scarlet Monastery. Into the Library of the Monastery they began their exploration. Confronting and conquerring the Library's master, Arcanist Doan. After obtaining the Scarlet Key, the rest of the Monastery's wings were accessible. Herod's Blades of Light did little to help him repel the ranged attacks raining down upon him from the overlooking ledge. Mograine and his fanatic wife Whitemane were killed and the Scarlet Monastery conquered. Next up, Zul'Furrak.

Kolbo and I talked a bit about this last night and I'm really happy to see these starting with level appropriate instances. I'm availalble with a hunter or shaman. I love the TEAM Green title too. Take that team blue and red. Newbies unite. :p

I think this is a GREAT idea. I had a group of people that I ran a lot of the old world instances with as I levelled up Azorius; we were all at the appropriate level for the dungeons and we had to learn to play our roles in the group in order to survive. We were all levelling at about the same rate for a long stretch, and had a TON of fun playing together both in instances and just regular questing. We started in Deadmines, and I think the highest level dungeon we ever did together was Maraudon. That's a lot of time spent together, and one of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had.

On a related note, one member of that group just resubscribed and has recently hit Outland. If anyone wonders why I start screaming like a groupie in gchat whenever Cinster logs on, well, now you know.

I'd love to get in on this tonight, but I'm not sure if I can get online that early. I have to wait till the kids are in bed, so that puts me around 9:00 server time.
Nonetheless, when you see Ariesminor the tanking gnome mage :), I'll be up for anything.
Oh yeah, I have the quest from Loch Modan that points me towards the Deadmines. I think it's the miners union one...

No problem Aries....If it's not too much we could always push it back. That's why I just need a heads up from everyone who wants to do it what time works. Nine could be possible.

I'm in but I definitely may need to be wrapping up on group play by about 8 PM PST (10 PM server time) since Luna will be home around then. Also, a heads up for the rest of the week, I'll definitely be available for grouping tomorrow and Friday until about 7 or 8 PM PST, but Thursday is very unlikely.

Anyway, by 6 PM PST tonight I should be a level 23 hunter, beast master specialized. My preferences for instances would be Shadowfang, then Stockades, then Deadmines, but I realize that the first two might be either too hard to reach on such short notice or too high level for the majority of the group, so I'm cool with whatever works for everyone else.

We may very well not finish an instance, but regardless of that it will still be good fun and practice.

Yup, no worries there.

Just a suggestion, our little group used to conduct all our runs on weekend mornings; seemed to work well for people.

I have two mid thirties level characters and i will help out when you are thinking about those level instances I also have a 24th lvl pally .............. So jst ask if im around and not commited and il sign up for Scarlet monestary

Aw man... Cinster's back? I might have to rebudget for WoW after we move into the new place.

Anyway, like Fed is saying, having a patient, understanding, static group of people to play with on a regular basis makes this game far more enjoyable, and annihilating an instance at level is very satisfying. I had a rough time levelin' after Fed, Cope, and Cinster left on temporary breaks.

Well, as I thought might happen, due to short planning for this kind of thing, we did not have enough people. No biggie though. Klios was nice enough to run ZeroKFE and I through Shadowfang Keep for sweet loot (Zero made a killing for his hunter, grats).

There are a lot of people in the mid-high teens who are right on the cusp of being able to run a Deadmines. There also seems to be quite a few in the mid thirties.

I won't be around this weekend on WoW so depending on how far I get between tonight and tomorrow night will determine will my leveling stops. I wouldn't mind trying to run these instances again. Even if we are a little high level for them.

I got home kind of late, so I missed the run, but on the bright side I am very close to level 20 now.
Due to my kids' bedtimes I can't really log in before 9 - 9:30 server time.

Well, we didn't manage to get a full group together last night, so Rybowl was kind enough to help Kolbo and I through Shadowfang (and I was lucky enough to get the primary drop I was looking for out of there ).

Anyway, I'll be available again tonight for grouping from about 5 PM PST to 7 PM PST (7 to 9 server time) if anyone is interested. Also, as I noted earlier in the thread I won't be around tomorrow, but Friday I'll be available for grouping for about the same hours as tonight.

Aries, I noticed that your mage is now 19, so if you are available tonight I think that's the perfect level for either Deadmines or Shadowfang.

No worries. I don't want to make this a one shot deal, but I won't be able to keep myself from leveling. I will be gone this weekend so there will be an opportunity for people to catch up I guess.

What is a good day next week for everyone?

At the moment Luna is scheduled to work Sunday, Monday, and Friday next week, so those are all possibilities for me. She may end up working one or two more days, but she's not sure at the moment.

I almost feel like I need to appologize for hijacking the Luna name here in MMORPG, but not so much as I had no idea when I named my character. I hadn't run across her in any of the forums that I was reading here at the time. Just don't be surprised if some people here read Luna to be Lunazul instead of your Lunabean. :LOL:

Yeah, half of the time I'm careful to make it clear which Luna I'm talking about, but sometimes I get lazy.

No apologies needed, though -- I'm in your world here, so to speak, so I need to be clear. Heaven help us all if she decides she wants to play WoW though.

I think you're fine

I have a deadline on Wednesday, so Thursday or Friday should work well for me.

Lunabean playing WoW would ROCK, zero!

Would be a good idea. I plan to have Logan sit in for me when I am on my honeymoon.

- Legion, taking "keeping it in the family" to a whole new level.

Isn't the guild supposed to be family friendly, though?

Seriously, though, I think that from watching me play she has decided that it looks boring. That's not to say she wouldn't get into it (I bet she would), but still, it's probably for the best.

Looks like there's a big bunch of you coming along together. As you all hit the mid 30s, let me know, and maybe I'll get my priest (Rahodius) out more often to join you He's currently 31, although he'll probably be rested enough to get close to 33 by the weekend. Need to get him to 35 as his enchanting skill is already 225 and tailoring is closing in fast.

Go Team Green!
Congratulations, and a big Thank You for a successful run through VanCleefe last night!
Only one issue was had, and that was all me. While settling into a good position to take out fleeing goblins, Ariesminor fell off of the ramp going down to the Goblin Forge. My high charisma Gnome Mage Pimp attracted a little too much attention from the lonely, overworked goblins. It seems that he was much too attractive to be carelessly wandering amongst the worker bees, and once they were all riled up I was not enough. Once they were finished with me, the only way to sate their appetite, was to have the whole team. Sorry again, Team.
It seemed almost a shame to utterly destroy them when we came back, as they had made some excellent progress tiling part of the ramp with our bones. I suppose they had only been trying to liven up their work atmosphere.

I had a great time, and it was a valuable learning experience. Looking forward to the next one!

Dang, sorry I had to pass last night.

Will anyone be available for Friday evening or should we start planning for next week?

In either case, the instances currently at the top of my list are Stockades and Blackfathom Deeps. Anyone else eyeing those two yet, or do folks want to do another run or two through Deadmines first?

Thanks to everyone for assembling Team Green on such short notice. I hopped on around 10pm server to see to my delight 5 Goodjers close enough in level. Unfortunately, Zerokfe could not stick around, but Grinders was gracious enough to bring his alt on to round out the party. Tundra gave such a nice explanation the first time he ran Zero through, that I encouraged him to do it again for Aries. Well done again and thanks.

Klobben
Kirwinn (KarmaJay)
Grynderz (tundra)
Talyrra (doctre)
Ariesminor (Aries)

Although Kirwinn and I were a little high for the instance, it was still a blast to run through with all GWJ and a great learning for everyone. Also, Aries can look back on this as the first time he was responsible for a party wipe. Hah. I thought it was funny, because I saw him creeping over to that ledge and thought to myself "Hope Aries realizes he might be getting too close and pull aggro" and then over the edge he went. I thought he got lost in the scenery. We valiantly tried to maintain, but could not. On the bright side, held our own well and learned some tricks to better focus our attacks durings swarms to regain control of the situation. (F key, etc.)

In either case, the instances currently at the top of my list are Stockades and Blackfathom Deeps. Anyone else eyeing those two yet, or do folks want to do another run or two through Deadmines first?

I am definitely down for either, BFD escpecially. I hope to get a twink run through Stockades tonight for the quests. I probably will not be on until Sunday evening after tonight though.

I will gladly chang the info at the top of the thread if someone wants to suggest a time for this weekend or in the future.

Yeah, Blackfathom has a lot more interest for me as well. Well, perhaps sometime over the weekend I can find someone to help me through Stockades, and we can try to make a level appropriate run through Blackfathom sometime next week.

I'll be on Sunday during the day, but only available for grouping until about 4 or 5 PM PST, so if you aren't going to be on until the evening that may not work so well.

How does Monday evening look for everyone?

I could do monday.....I will set that as the date for now. Hopefully that will be enough of a heads up for people to start level ;P

What is the level range for those instances?

From what I'm reading, both Stockades and Blackfathom should be doable as long as we are all at least 23 or 24, although some of the quests for each instance can't be grabbed until 25. I'm guessing that by Monday I should be at least 26 (quite possibly higher) and you'll probably be 27 or higher. I saw that Karmajay (Kirwinn) was also 24 last night, Aries was 20 or so, and Talyrra (who is that on the board?) looks to be 20 or so from the armory, although that is often out of date. So I'm guessing that if everyone is actually available on Monday we might be able to run either instance at least part of the way through with some measure of success, even if not everyone has all the quests.

I updated the first post of the thread to reflect the new Team Green instance run for Monday night. I included level ranges next to each instance as pulled from Thottbot. I agree with Zero that if people get to around 23-24ish, we will be able to easily pick between BFD or Stockade.

Level away this weekend and join the fun. Again, alts from the veterans are welcome and encouraged to impart their wisdom or just have fun.

Please reply to the thread about what time in the evening is good Monday. Server time is CST. Once I get a good idea of what times people can make, I will update the post.

I should be good anytime after 6 server time.
