(Copied my post off of the WoW forums.)
Hey guys! I've been getting more and more bored of WoW lately, and decided to do this! We'll start a brand new guild on a new server, and get our fat butts up to 80. Once there, we will start gearing up via heroic lich king dungeons, and then start on beginning raids. I doubt we'll be able to clear to many raids before MoP hits, but we can certainly try!
Ranks will be set up as follows:
Rank 1 - Leveler. Everyone will be this role for now, until 80.
Rank 2 - PvP'er. While this is a raiding guild, I do not mind if you are getting to 80 to PvP. None of the rules about not using cata stuff apply IF YOU ARE PVP'ING.
Rank 3 - Level 80. This rank is for the people that are level 80, but don't raid with us or PvP. I want to get everyone included in raids, but we can only have so many teams.
Rank 4 - G2 Raider. Same privileges as G1 raider. If they could be the same rank, they would be.
Rank 5 - G1 Raider . ^
Rank 6 - Officer. (Your raid group will be in your Officer's note.) This rank is for people who have showed loyalty to the guild, and are overall pleasant, a good raider, and trustworthy.
Rank 7 - Battalion Officer. These TWO officers are raiders that myself and the Co-GM have picked. We will each pick one person. In the event that one of us can not make the raid that we set, the Battalion Officer for that raid group will step in and lead the raid.
Rank 8 - Co-GM - This person is vitally important to the success of the guild. You must be able to commit yourself to setting up 1-3 raid nights per week, be fair, patient, and willing to help manage the guild.
Rank 9 - GM
RULES:
No cata stuff! This includes, but is not limited to, cata gems/food/flasks/enchants. WotLK enchants/food/flasks/gems/etc are highly recommended, and will be mandatory once we start our raiding.
Every class is allowed, however, Monks MAY not be allowed. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Cata glyphs / character race/class combos are allowed of course (dwarf shaman for example).
IMPORTANT: If I catch you raiding with anyone above level 80, and getting, for example, Heroic ICC gear while we're still in Naxxramas, you will immediately be removed from the guild.
IMPORTANT 2: I plan on commiting myself full time to running this guild and raid leading. Trust me, I've been in re-progression guilds where I got to the level that we were raiding at (60/70), and then the guild would fall apart. I am not planning on that to happen with us, and will remain active.
IMPORTANT 3: We will be doing many, many fun activities/events as a guild. Some of these will include Hide and seeks, Raffles, Scavenger Hunts, Trivia, the chess event in Kara, PvP tournaments (most likely using our PvE gear so it's mostly fair), and more!
Faction is to be determined, as is the server. Leave suggestions down below on what server/faction yall might want
Loot will either be Loot Council (consisting of myself, the Co-GM, and the Battalion Officers), or DKP based. (X DKP for showing up to the raid, and X DKP per boss we kill. DKP, for anyone who does not know, is a point system in which you build points up by attending raids / killing stuff, and then you bid on items using your points.)
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me on BLANKED OUT NAME, or, simply leave them down below.
Thanks for reading!
Oh, and before I forget, if you think you have what it takes to be a co-GM, (includes leading our 2nd raid team, being patient and kind to all the raiders, etc), let me know.
TL;DR: PLEASE read the whole post. Tried to make it as short as possible. However....
LFM to cap exp at 80 and raid. Not allowing grouping with anyone above 80, using cata consumables, etc. We will be doing tons of guild events. Will either use loot council or DKP for loot. Any questions/concerns leave them below. FACTION/REALM UNDECIDED, LEAVE SUGGESTIONS!
