WoW Raid Tonight

I finally found some time to make it through a raid. The is the second raid that I've been in that actually finished.  The first being I was never able to enjoy the Level 70 "end-game". I wasn't there long enough before Wrath of the Lich King came out. So I never geared up.

But now that I'm 80, I want to experience everything that I missed. And now do 80 "end-game" stuff as well.

We ran Karazhan in Deadwind Pass tonight. It's a level 70 raid. But I felt that it was ok for me to run since I had never seen it before.

The first interesting thing about this one so far was the stage and play that was put on. On my first run attempt with a group, the play was Romeo and Juliet. This time it was Little Red Riding Hood. I think the other one it could be is The Wizard of Oz. Curious about that one.

The second, and probably my favorite, feature of Karazhan is the chess game. At first I was confused. But then, once I knew what to do, I had a blast. We failed the first time. But I can't say that I helped much since I wasn't sure how to control my piece (along with others who hadn't been there). And worse then that, they wanted me to play the King piece. If only they had known listened.

I didn't pick up much as far as gear, but I did get plenty of reputation with The Violet Eye.

And the achievement.
