We did them regularly when FashionSense was running them, then new stuff lured some interest away, so they were put off for a while.
Several attempts to restart things have been made, but to my knowledge none have been successful as yet.

My account is still active but I'm really not playing. Even when I was still active, we had trouble getting enough people on hero side, let alone villain side.
On a low population server, it's really hard to get the 6-8 core people that are willing and able to lead different teams, plus 30-40 more people with roughly the right AT/powerset mix to show up on time and be prepared to run something that may involve dying repeatedly as the first-timers learn the ropes (not that it's complicated, but the number of mistakes required to wipe the entire raid is low). And then of course half of the melees don't have jetpacks and don't have enough knockback/stun protection because they haven't done the 2 minutes of basic research and preparation to tackle something that doesn't resemble the rest of the game very much.....ugh.
I will probably come back and organize a raid at some point, but as a regular activity it requires a "raid community" that we just didn't have.
FASHION! I'll lead a team for you. but only cause I love killing hami. Ya gotta give me a week or two to get out of the hospital though.

The Twilight Avengers are tweaking our public strat which we use regularly blue side on the Guardian server to take down Hami. As soon as we get it where we want it, we will be hosting a redside raid. If it is well received, it may become a regular occurrence. I will post the strat on these forums along with the date of the first raid, when we schedule it.

We are targeting Wednesday, February 3rd for a sponsored redside Hami raid. Would probably be around 9:30 EST. I will post more details along with the strategy we will use on these forums in the next week or two.

Actually, no, that won't work. The Abyss is one of the few zones that still has a level restriction, and you have to be at least 45 to get in. Still, you've got the rest of January to get those levels, so it doesn't rule you out.|

Kane, sorry your work schedule won't allow you to participate. That domi would be a welcome addition, and really shouldn't die repeatedly with our strat as long as everyone is doing his or her job. If things go as I expect and we have a reasonable spawn time, we should be finishing around 11 or shortly thereafter. Still, if you get off earlier that night, or get home sooner, it won't hurt to check.

I'd be willing to try this. Not sure who would be most useful for me to bring though. I know what's useful for a blueside raid, but not sure on this. I'd probably bring my mind/thorn permadom.

Ah, February 3rd. That's not going to work for me unfortunately.

Sorry to hear that, Garent. If we have a successful turnout for this one, our guild will likely sponsor more in the future, so stay tuned.

Not that I'm ready to try a Hamidon raid.
So not that it really matters.
But it's a slow day at work and I'm starting to get bored... So I will ask:
Do Hami raids still happen?
I've been watching PinnBadges and see plenty of TFs rise and fall, but I haven't heard a whisper of Hamidon. Did IOs overshadow him (it?), or are they just rare enough that I haven't caught wind of one yet?
I'm new-ish. Again.
@Kahzi. Pinnacle, mostly.
