Here We Go! 3.1

So it's patch time, and there as been a dramatic change in enthusiasm for raiding. Everyone's excited about what treats wait for them in Ulduar. While I am definitely looking forward to the joys of new content I am also slightly dreading what is (no doubt) going to happen & in fact has already began:

People I assumed were dead are crawling out of no-where and have decided even though they've been out of the picture for the past month or 2 that they want to raid and yes if they don't have a raid spot then they are prepared to get shitty.

I don't want to be the guy that says, no you guys cant raid because we have 35/25 people here all slitting each others throats to get at new content, but how are we gonna do this? There needs to be some kind of balance. & what am I going to do about the guys that have joined in the last week or 2? *facepalm* This is not going to be easy, this is going to be stressful. As a raid leader I can guarantee that the second I log in tomorrow a will be walled with around 10 - 15 whispers of people telling me how they have 40 stacks of food and 12 flasks and are ready to go!

I am sure I am going to piss a few people off, and I already pissed one off this evening but I'm sure we'll manage to keep everything together & there may just be laughter before the evening ends! And Flame Leviathan looks really REALLY fun for a first boss. I would like to ride a Chopper please, kkthnx.



Mind you, I am also making the mistake of assuming that we will be able to get online and that the Realm wont be:
a) Full.
b) Crashing every 2 minutes
&
c) laggy as fuck.

No doubt there are times ahead, I'm bringing the paracetamol. Now lets have some fun!

(Afterthought: maybe I should have a bottle of vodka to raid with tonight, that could help.)
