The PUG Guide to Vault of Archavon: Emalon

Dreambound has written a guide to running Emalon for pick up groups to use.  He claims this is the hardest instance for PUGs to handle since DPS has to switch targets.  Details  of his strategy here.

BBB and the Typical PUG

Now that Big Bear Butt is running with Pick Up Groups, he's realized that there are things not everyone in a group knows not to do.  Here's a list for those who happen to currently be standing in fire and/or acid and need a reminder.

Voice Chat for PUG Groups in Beta Testing

Apparently, you use your browser window to go to their website, open a chat room and just add everyone in your pick up group via a shared link.  Since this is targeted at WOW players, a little bit of Amory information appears on the players in the PUG and you assign roles via a pull down menu.  Judging from the screen shot, there are links to reference sites at the bottom so you can look up things (via another browser window?).

BBB Runs A PUG Again

Big Bear Butt Blogger ran a Pick Up Group (PUG) last night. His article is sort of funny and sort of sad, but I have to say the Solo MMO Player sees this sort of behavior in-game constantly.
