9PM Karazhan
Timing
Next Karazhan session will be 9pm server time. Targets are:
Day 1 (Tues 9pm PDT): Moroes, Opera, Curator, Aran, Chess, Prince
Day 2 (9pm PDT): No Day 2 this week.
Loot rules
Loot will be set to group, blue threshold. Please pass on all roll-boxes. Loot will then be discussed, no rolled with /random 100 on a need before greed basis. There shouldn't be too many incidents where stuff if contested, but if it is, and you have already had something out of the instance, please try to be nice and considerate. Probably helps if you research the loot of the zone and make yourself a shopping list. Good list of Karazhan loot
Basically, normal Basin niceness.
Shards from melting unwanted loot will be distributed at the end of each night. Please pass if you've done well that night (or especially well that week)
Raid Preparation
Please bring plenty of consumables. Invites will start at 8:30PM and summoning will start at 8:45PM. Open slots will be filled with substitutes as early as 9PM sharp unless you've let someone know you may be late.

In game mail or forum private messages are good examples of advance notice. Real Life comes first and if you have an emergency, by all means take care of it and don't worry about the game, but in cases that you know in advance, let the raid know in advance too.
