Contemplating alt ToC 25
Keaton and I have been considering running an alt-friendly ToC 25 on the weekends. It was initially proposed as part of our recruitment strategy, and even though it's no longer necessary (last night, we ran a wait-list four raiders deep and recieved four additional applications!), I still think it's a good idea.
A well-managed alt-ToC has the potential to be a fun and relatively low-stress way to play with friends, gear alts and include mains who didn't make the guild run earlier in the week. I'm sure we'd have to PuG a few spots, but even that could have great PR value.
We've been tossing the idea around for a while but haven't had time to sit down and work out the details — so if we do organize something like this, it probably won't be until next weekend. Still, I was interested to read this morning that Bellwether of 4Haelz has been running something similar on her server. It makes me all the more excited about our plan (and reminds me that I'll have to lay some ground rules first, which is the unfun part).

Depending on WHICH weekend day you do it, I’d be keen to help out with this. If it’s a week where my druid did get to go, I can tank it, if it’s a week where I didn’t, I can heal it!
US Saturday is no good for me though (at work), US Sunday though is a day I have free even now.
Either way, whether I can go or not, it sounds a good plan, provided we have people keen to do it without burnin ‘em out even more on ToC. Although it is also fairly amazing how revitalised people can feel when it’s their alts getting a chance at high end gear.

Can anyone rly get burned out on an instance that lasts an hour tops?
We have people in guild who run like ToC10Xmain+2 alts, run our ToC25 on their main, and then pug it on alts. That’s 6 ToCs a week, and timewise it’s less than one main Uld10+Uld25 a week. xD
