Ready Check is a weekly column wow goldfocusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, Archavon or Algalon, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. This week, we look at the hard modes in Ulduar.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a raiding guild, in possession of a good enough fortune to cover repair costs, must be in want of a challenge. Rather than make bosses difficult by default, the design of Ulduar is liberally sprinkled with the sort of challenge we only saw hints of before — hard modes.
The idea behind hard modes is to cater for every type of raider. Whether you just want to see content, have difficulty killing it as-is, or fancy spending several evenings wiping to artificial constraints, you can do so. (Note that when I say ‘normal mode’ from now on I mean non-hard-mode, not 10-man.)

The day has arrived. A little while ago, we challenged you fans to get us over 9000 Twitter followers, and somehow, some way, you delivered. So now we have to keep our promises — tomorrow, the WoW Insider Show, which has only ever been an audio podcast, will include video with our live feed, and you’ll be able to see the faces of all your favorite bloggers (for better or worse). Turpster and I will be dressed in our finest threads, we’ll be toasting champagne (so bring your own if power levelingyou want to toast with us, 21+ please), and we’ll host a cavalcade of bloggers and friends of the show on live video. We’ve got some surprises planned, and hopefully Ustream will hold up under the strain — whatever happens, it’ll surely be wild.
The show begins our Ustream page at Sunday, May 24 at 3:30 AM in your time zone (GMT+8) , or you can jump after the break to see an embedded feed. The audio archive of the show will appear here on Monday, and we’ll have a video version on Ustream, but unfortunately Ustream will only save one video
