Ha, I wondered when I saw that I was the one to start this thread, but didn't remember doing it!
Yes, it did get off the ground. :D And happily, aside from the festivals sometimes getting in the way of it, it is still going. Thunderous Thursdays, we call 'em. Usually it's 100s stuff; Roaving threats or featured instances. However, if we have folks with lower level alts that would like to join, we have the epic battles that are a lot of fun (can be confusing at first, but our kinnies are so patient) and have pretty cool rewards, like the best jewelry in the game for the class/level that you are playing.
We also began a Monday Moria event too. Depending on the time we get started (9 Est is the supposed to start time, but sometimes we don't get going till a bit later, or if folks are on earlier & want to go, we can go earlier too) we get 1 to 3 instances in. These are open to anyone wanting to do the quests or deeds, from 54 up to 105. :)
