Classic raid ID’s happened the moment you killed the first boss. Once you killed it, you were saved for X days. If you were unlocked from your own raid lock out on Monday, and found a lockout of a raid that was saved at Nefarian that expired on Tuesday, you’d save yourselves to it, killed Nefarian, then continued the process throughout the week.
“We would have 1 tank, 2 dps and 2 heal alts. The rest of the raid mains zone out, these alts get the raid lockout. The mains do not get Razer loot until the last clear and the alts get all the razer gear. Then after Razer is dead the mains would zone in and not get a raid lockout but could kill the rest of the 7 bosses because in Vanilla the raid lockout was only tied to a Razer kill. Then we would grab 5 more alts and do this pattern 3-4 more times a week”
Oh, thats all we did. We didn’t take it farther than that and we only got a few extra Ragnaros’s each week. Really wasn’t worth the effort of finding lockouts which seemed to take more time than anything else in the whole process.
If the name reservation experience is anything to go by, we’ll be lucky to login for the first few hours before servers crash and go down for a bit. We wouldn’t want vanilla servers to be anything but authentic, after all.
Good to see so many old familiar names as we’re all grown up now! Love all the salt already from TR. CLASSIC. A small group of my friends is most likely going to be on Herod. Would like to reconnect with a ton of you though so reach out!
Symm (Dwarf Warrior) / Sammael (Dwarf Hunter) [Dominion of Chaos] -> [In Excelsis] -> [Lethe] checking in. Excited to once again feel the pleasure of Mortal Striking my enemies with an Arcanite Reaper!
a) he got stuck in his real life bear form, was last seen tearing chunks out of Leo in “The Revenant”
b) He went out to buy a new razer and 15 years later has finally managed to shave off all of his chest hair, just his back, arms, legs, sack and crack to go. He should be finished in time for Battle of Azeroth Classic in 2034.
