A year with our Static Group
Just over a year ago (roughly June 30, 2007), Justin, Faith, Dave, Jaimie, and I rolled up toons on the Quel’dorei server to play together. Jamie and had had our raiding guild on Andorhal fall apart and we were looking for a fresh start. Dave and Faith were somewhat new to World of Warcraft so we figured we’d all start off at the same place and level together. We actually stuck to that pretty much all the way to 70. There were times when someone would pull a level or so ahead, but we stayed pretty close level-wise.
Unfortunately, some of our schedules shifted around the time we hit 70 so we haven’t been doing as much as a group. On the other hand, it’s been fun to pull in new people to sub for whoever can’t make it. Shortly after hitting 70 we started raiding Karazhan with The Train. Our latest big accomplishment was downing Gruul. It was a lot of fun never having to look for a group to do instances with. I suspect that if Pox Arcanum had been around when we started, we would have joined them.
I’m not sure where we’re headed from here. Jaimie, Justin, and I have leveled alts to 70. Dave has one most of the way there (level Dave level!). We have the option of raiding pretty much as often as we want to. When Wrath of the Lich King comes out, we’ll have to decide if we want to go back to leveling as a group or just scatter and gather back up at 80. I’m hoping that we level as a group again. Those of use who want to race to 80 have alts we can do it on. We’ll see what happens when Wrath comes out.
