Howdy howdy!

A quick round up of some interesting forum links and news. Please note that our 25 raid is not actively recruiting at this time. Feel free to post a raid app, just to introduce yourself or get your name out there; but aside from a few positions which we hope to have filled in very shortly, our 25 is mostly fine.

At least, until I start firing people for:

• Hitting accept on the calendar, and then not showing up
• Being unable to stay online and attentive during raid night
• Failure to improve performance, even given time and advice
• Acting like a general jerk

Then some spots might open! ^_____^

25 raid, exclusive and not actively recruiting but you can post anyway: link

Please note the following requirements

• Level 80 Alliance Hunter. Others are welcome to listen in, but the focus will be on helping the 80 hunters improve.
• Bring enough gold to buy glyphs from the auction house, as well as pay for respec costs. Around 100 should be sufficient.
• Be familiar with using wowarmory.com, since we will send people there to look at specs and gear.
• Make sure to have Ventrilo, the most popular voice chat software. You do not need a microphone, but you should be able to hear the clinicians.
• Leave your ego at home. MEEP has no place for your pride.

While the main focus of the Master Class is to improve MEEP raid performance, we have opened up our meeting to all MEEP allies and friends, in an effort to give something to our community. We welcome both the hardcore high-end raiding hunter as well as the new 80 hunter who is trying to break into the scene. However, in return, we ask that newer hunters understand that the Master Class will address advanced topics. Feel free to ask questions, but be patient if we respond with "Let me talk to you after the clinic about that".

See you there! And stay tuned for our upcoming Protection & Retribution Paladin Master Class!

WE ARE NOT RECRUITING
Feel free to post an application anyway, though

The Usual Notes

• Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday, 6:30pm - 9:30pm or so. If you are not in my raid group and on Vent at 6:15, you've probably lost your spot.
• Bring 3-4 flasks (for each spec you run), and relevant materials like Potions of Speed. Failure to flask when flasks are asked for is grounds for instant replacement that night.
• Start working on ICC 10 progress. Find a group. MEEP chat is a good place to start searching, and also check out our forum: link
• Watch the videos of Rotface, Blood Princes, and Valithira Dreamwalker in preparation for attempts on them in the coming weeks.

Ventrilo donations! Our Ventrilo server, sponsored by kiSu alliance from the game Guild Wars, has almost raised the needed funds for contract renewal in April. We have a great annual rate for our 100-slot server, and all the donations of a few bucks each really add up! Click the coffee picture at left to donate through Paypal.
