If you want to organize a EU raid I would suggest you plan it for a Sat. You will have a much better chance of picking up mid day US players who can help. Wed at noon is not the best time to find them. Raiding hami can be fast and fun or very long and painful. The current raiding community is dedicated to making sure everyone has a positive experience and keeps coming back.|

I would appreciate it if alot of people could turn up as I will be recording it with fraps to post up on youtube. I will look into the strategy in depth and will be prepared by wednesday, so everyone thats interested please sign your name up, and the AT your bringing. The even will take place wednesday and we will meet just outside the hive at 5pm BST. Any questions please contact me in game or via @Sypher Vendetta. Many thanks. |
To be honest I don't think your gonna find the players to do this at that time. Most of the current raiding group is west coast which is why we have a a 10pm EST start on Sat night.
If you do try, please do it before Thursdays reset. Leaving hami spawned is poor etiquette.
I'll restate a previous offer to try and move the Sat. day raid up early enough for EU folks once a month. So far I've not been contacted by anyone interested in making that happen.

2. Like James Donner posted above me, the odds are very much against you. While I sympathize with the European players that would like to raid Hamidon, the fact is that the vast majority of Exalted server players are North American. Even with that, most of our experienced raiders are on the west coast, 8 hours behind U.K. time. IMO, there just aren't enough European players that both have level 50+ toons on Exalted and are experienced with Hamidon raids to pull it off.
Trying to get together a PuG Hamidon raid at 12 P.M. ET / 9 A.M. PT on a weekday, especially the day before the American Thanksgiving holiday? Yeah... Odds are very bad. But regardless, good luck should you decide to go through with it.

=\ Ya.. unfortunately i'd have to agree with the previous posters. Keep in mind, im ALWAYS up for a hami raid too.. im kooky like that. What we could do is set something up for Saturday (morning here) at this same time and see what kind of turn out we get...
While there are numerous guides and information posted about hami raids, a lot of them arent current and dont reflect the currrent raiding strategy. As @james donner has said, while they can be fast, and fun, they can also be very slow and painful. The current raiding crew has strived to make things fun and fast and as un-complicated as possible. We've also opend up our vent channel during raids to anyone that wants to listen in and learn and lead a team.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this further, feel free to send me forum PM or you can find me in game @Cherry Cupcakes. 
yeah i agree now that you guys have given valid points regarding this i can see its not wise, i dont want to sound like a kid without his rattle but its not fair on us europeans lol.
with that said, i will look to get a turn out on saturday and see what i can get.
the thing is while i apprecaite the people making the raids happen i.e cherry cupcakes, its also hard to turn up since times are different.
i willl definitly try to keep up with the americans on the server, guess a crate of red bull and relentless will do the trick :P
thanks for the input guys
