    Older 18 man raids

    I was curious as I have someone that is leveling up for the first time, about to hit 50. Are the older raids such as crystal tower take forever if even at all to que for?

    Just a heads up that Crystal tower is a 24 person raid, not 18.

    Queue times, I would expect, are quite long.

    Crystal Tower day is Sunday. Queue times on that day each week are very decent.

    Good idea too is to make a linkshell on your server (if there isn't one already) around running the Towers. A few servers have started it and even have one ourselves that seems to run quite regularly.

    I am also on Aether, on Sunday the queue time is usually less than 10 or 15 minutes.

    As stated, the community's been trying to push "CT Sundays". So give it a try on Sunday if you want to do it.

    waiting times are not that bad however, pretty much every time someone is afk or crafting and then does not join it when it pops and then you have to wait the same amount of time and then again the same thing happens.

    OMG I hate that when it happens, after that happens a few times I get move to a new group that's barely filled up, so annoying.
