Couple major notes for <EVOLVE> and the future.
1) I want to try to bring our raid team to >18ish people so we can do 25 man raids. If you have friends that would like to join us please let them know.
2) Speaking of Cata, the first Cata raid will be Jan. 11. This will account for family time for the holidays as well as time to level to 85 and gear appropriately.
3) as for Cata gear: All heroics are acceptable except the Hour of Twilight heroics. Basically if the heroic drops 359 or better, it is not allowed. However, if you feel like grinding rep or leveling professions, the 359 rep items are acceptable because of the effort needed to get this gear. If that means you dedicate all your time to rep and professions and get a full set of 359 gear, more power to you. But the only source of 359 gear will only be rep or professions (because this gear was available at this time when cata was released)
4) Herald of the Titans runs on Mondays for the next few weeks. Spread the word.
5) Twink out a level 60 toon! MC 11/30, BWL 12/5, AQ40 12/7. These raids will finish out our raid schedule until we pick back up after the holidays. Now that being said, anyone who is on can work on getting all the guild heroic dungeon achieves as well as working on rep and professions.
