For those of you participating in the Coursera "Online Games" course, the in-game (distinction track) assignment for Week 5 is to participate in the Thadur instance, which is a full fellowship (6-character) group instance in the Great Barrows. While I would recommend that you try to reach level 20 before doing this instance, you can actually participate in the instance if your character is somewhat below level 20.
We will be running the Thadur instance at the following scheduled times this coming week, for those of you that like to plan ahead :)
Thursday, May 28 at 7pm
Saturday, May 30 at 1pm
Sunday, May 31 at 6pm
All times are server time (US Eastern Daylight Time / New York City time)
-> Important! <-
In addition … we will be doing the Thadur instance, The Maze, and Sambrog at various other unscheduled times during this coming week – just ask on the coursera channel about doing these instances. And we may do The Maze or Sambrog before or after some of the scheduled Thadur runs, depending on level of interest (in fact, we've already run Thadur and The Maze at least once that I'm aware of ...). So, if the scheduled times do not work for you, or you don't want to wait for later in the week, just ask on the coursera chat channel, and we will find a way for you to get the assignment done sometime during this coming week!
