Maybe some day....

This is the "Normal" level if raiding, right? LFR version opens up later, right?
I think last time I checked, we had 3 level 100 toons in the guild. I was 4th, 5th, 7th and 11th highest level. Not sure how many players we actually have, but I'm thinking even in the long run we won't have 10. Maybe we can partner up with another guild?

The first couple wings of LFR open up next week, and then the third and fourth wings over the next couple of weeks after that. Just to expand on this a little bit more, a quote from MMO Champion... Also worth noting, the difficult levels have shifted a bit. - new Mythic = old Hardcore mode - new Heroic = old Normal - new Normal = old LFR - new LFR < old LFR Now, this isn't to say that new Normal modes mechanics and strategies are watered down like the old LFR. I think the mechanics of Normal are still in full blown affect, I think the damage done, hp of bosses, that sort of stuff is on par with the old LFR versions of dungeons.

I think, *think*, the "new normal" is actually "Old Flex," though Flex was only around for Siege of Orgrimar, so I'm not sure you can really call it "Old." Aha, from Blizzard's site:

This week for me with LFR and Normal Highmaul... The second wing of LFR Highmaul has opened up and I'm gonna be looking to maybe get that in tonight. I've got quit a bit of Christmas stuff to get done, so this is still up in the air, but am going to try and get on tonight to run the 1st and maybe even the 2nd wing. So, if anyone is interested in going with, I'm hoping to start around 9 - 9:30. Was thinking about waiting until 10:00 because Kanwulf may be able to run then, but that is getting a little late and Kan didn't sound too confidant in being able to make it by then, but we'll see. Normal Highmaul, my lockout for Normal mode is completely open (at the moment). If that remains true come Friday/Saturday night, I'm going to be looking to put together a raid with as many friends that want to go and then fill in any holes using the Raid Finder tool. I've heard and seen some pretty good results from using this, so I think I may give that a shot. So, if any of you 100s are interested in getting into Highmaul and having a bit of fun with some of the first bosses, let me know.

I'm not at all sure we'll ever put together a completely Frost Donkey 10-man. So I'm thinking we should go ahead and put together a flex-raid. As other Donkeys become raid ready, they can fold into the group. I'm thinking one of the nice things about flex raiding is the flexible size of it. So even if we pick up some "regulars", growing the group size shouldn't hurt us.
Also, people getting to 100 for the first time, feel free to hit me up for crafted gear. I've been hoarding resources entirely for the purpose of helping to gear you up. The only thing I'm short on (and it's my own dumb fault) is inscription resources.

Gonna run Highmaul LFR tonight, as a group warm-up for the main event tomorrow night. I've got an event scheduled on the calendar in game, so set your status for that when you can! Donni, I know your playing is very light right now, but if you're interested, you're always welcome... just let me know, bud! Friday is looking good so far for tackling the first couple bosses of Normal Highmaul! Let's do this!

Just a reminder... tonight around 9:00, we are going to give normal mode a go! If you have real ID friends that will be joining us, please pass on this reminder to them as well.

Again, another reminder that we'll be running Highmaul on LFR tonight in an attempt to get some more familiarity with the fights and to try and get some more iLevel 640 gear to help bring up the numbers for the main event tomorrow night!
I added the invites into the guild calendar, in game, last night and have been trying to contact those outside of the guild, so hopefully we'll have a good turn out tonight!

I have ilvl 665 BOE epics for Plate and Leather. I'm thinking these best go to Kanwulf and Indor since they will do the most overall good for the raid in thier hands and they have near perfect attendance.

I plan to bring Ixpix to the LFR to improve his ilvl. Aejacs has nearly everything he can get from LFR and the Frostmage might be able to crank out a little more DPS if I can get his ilvl comparable.
One thing I'd really like is the inscription crafted staff (or 3) if anybody has mats for that burning a hole in thier pocket. I'm accumulating enough bloods to make some upgrades, but the war paints are the rate limiting step to use chem terms.
