The next thing I'm hoping to do is get one or two more other than myself to join a group with me and (if we're free and don't have any arena or heroic instance stuff happening) look to do normal 5 mans in an effort to meet guildless players or players from small guilds that could be considered for merging. 

I log in every now and then to see if anyone's online (good lord, hardly anyone's been on each time, scary!) and I check the lookingforgroup tool to see if there's any guildless players in case I see an opportunity to go recruitin'. 

We could do this same thing for a Karazhan group, where we use empty slots of a Karazhan raid to offer up to potential players who may join us (If we're...careful, since of course one random goob could likely turn the raid into a disaster with his/her behavior problems or lack of ability to follow instructions). 

We havn't beaten Karazhan into a pulp yet by any means with both Netherspite and that other summonable dragon still not defeated by us. We've brought the Prince down only once, with a group that had maybe just one other melee other than myself involved in the kill. Hell, depending on how much of the percentage the raid's made up of our most well geared and experienced players we have a heck of a time getting past just the Curator, Lilhoof, and Aran. 

Dreadwind still have to get by a few Heroic instances such as Shattered Halls, Arcatraz, and Steamvaults (Never tried to pug them) as well.

So, let me know some good times to log on and find someone and I can know to find some folks and get somethin' rollin'. There's plenty players out there to find to join us and help us to keep progressing, we just have to look.
