I wanted to make sure we are all on the same page with this, so I decided to post what was said regarding BWL last night, and our recent attendance issues. The two main points are as follows:
1) We will continue to schedule BWL for every wednesday until the Burning Crusade is released. We know we can beat Razorgore with enough people, but we won't throw away repair money on attempts with too few. If we have enough, we go. If not, we don't.
2) If we do not kill anything in BWL by January 16th (Burning Crusade release), it ultimately doesn't hurt us. I want to kill Nefarion before that time as much as many others do, but we are not a guild based on progression, and if we don't, it's honestly not a big deal. It just means people have chosen to spend their time somewhere else, and that is fine.
Some people expressed concern about the statement "until the burning crusade is released". This does not mean we won't be going to Blackwing Lair after that point, it means the schedule will change. To what, we do not know yet. It may be that we hold off raids for a time while people enjoy the new content. There are no "raid zones" between 60 and 70, just like there are none prior to 60. We will not be in any hurry to rush to 70... there is a lot to see, and I suggest we all enjoy it.
An important thing to note: We will, at some point, hold 40-man raids of ALL pre-BC content. We are an RP guild, and these are places to explore and battle the enemies of our people. It only makes sense. They will not be our focus, but we will do them... the entire point of Ironsong raiding is to improve the quality of life of our members and allow everyone to experience all the content the game has to offer at our own pace. No one needs to worry about missing something.
Thanks for reading. If anyone has any additional questions please feel free to post.
