Awesome.
That will make off-hours guilds much more viable, since you can PUG to fill your final slots. I wonder if it’ll extend to PUG raids; probably will because they’d be using the same LFM technology.
I don’t really care about reward/incentive to use LFM unless its very cosmetic, because of the weird distortion to group formation it would make: forcing guildies to join your team via the LFM interface just to ensure a reward.
But… being able to get a non-heroic TotC for example for my stam trinket, when nobody on my own realm is interested, would be fantastic.

Looks like you just got your answer. Grats.

Certainly makes it helps a bit with what to do when I move back to Oz, but I’m still undecided. So I’d have instances (and raids hopefully via PUG). However playing off-hours like 9am UK when it’s 8pm in Sydney still makes it tough for guildchat or levelling-teams in Cataclysm next year, might be lonely.
So it is a huge help, but doesn’t settle the question entirely for me about EU or Oceanic realm. So many factors. Hard decision. I could reroll a DK (I have an inactive 64 druid but it means I can make a DK) on an Aussie server, or play funny hours on EU server here. With gear-reset of Cataclysm an Aussie character would only be behind on gear until then.

I decided to re-roll in the end. Lots of reasons, but the largest being I won’t get to raid much at all the next four months because of organising my move back to Sydney. The time I do have, I can invest in a new DK tank in the timezone I’ll be settled in.
Pretty horrible feeling, after investing so much in that character Gravity.
But I love DK tanks, so was no decision what to play; I’ve a Tauren now.
