Former guilds (on Bronzebeard or on your current realm): The most notable guild I have been in Wow is Ez, I've been a member for 2 years and I am still part of the community formed within this guild. Withing this guild I have been through most of TBC on Alonsus horde side, clearing everything except SWP. After a short break from WoW, playing other MMOs we came back, rolled Aly on Darkspear and been there right until Ulduar came out.
I left EZ as Wow guild after 2 years being in it. They decided to move on to other games, as they feel that this game does not have anything more to offer. I am staying here for many reasons: I don't have the time and energy to start a new game and level; and still feel that I have more things to do in WoW. Recently I joined a guild Stone, I have been a member for almost 3 weeks now, but because they have a very early raiding schedule I can't make most of the raids.
Why did you leave your former guilds?: As I mentioned I left Ez after most of the members decided to move to a different game. I am leaving Stone because of the reasons mentioned above.
What is your former raid experience (pre-TBC, TBC, WotLK)?: Well in vanilla Wow I have participated in a coupe of Mc/ZG clears but was not able to find a decent raiding to clear BWL ,AQ and there was the minor setback that I was playing on a Us server. After moving to Eu servers TBC came out, and after a couple of months I have joined EZ. Within this guild I have participated in clearing everything except SWP in TBC. In Wotlk by the time I reached 80 most of the members were bored of Naxx and everything, I only got to do a couple of Sartharion, Malygos and Naxx heroic runs. After joining Stone I participated in the Hodir and Freya fight so far in Ulduar. These were all 25 mans. While leveling or sitting out of raids I was constantly in vent listening to the strategies, i know that that doesn't substitute actual experience of the fight, but I know what to expect, when I'm there.
Why do you want to join Serenity? The main reason is the raiding times. I've seen in the official guild recruitment forums that you have a later starting schedule and thought I will research you a bit more. After reading the guild rules and the introduction post I came to the conclusion that the guild is well suited for me. The rules are ok and fair and I feel I am very close to the members you expect.
Do you have open applications to other guilds? Nope *.
Any member in Serenity that can vouch for you? Don't think I know anyone from your ranks, hope it will change
The important questions now. Please take a moment to think about those before you answer.
This is probably the most important question. We are a raiding guild, and even though we do not force anyone into raiding, we are expecting players that will join us to show interest in raiding at least 2-3 days each week.
Can you play at our official raiding times which are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 9pm - 1am server time? Well this was the biggest issue in my previous guilds, the raiding times this determined me to search a new guild. I usually don't know when I get home on different nights, because me and my fiancee live in different parts of the town. Usually I spend the afternoon with her and don't know when I am able to get home. She usually let's go of me at around 8-9 server time and a half an hour bus home get me a bit late for raids. But there are times when we have different plans and I am home early. The dates I'm not usually available are Friday and Saturday. but the other days if nothing comes up I am available.
Can you log on to the Serenity website and sign up on the raid calendar each week whether you can attend raids or not? Yes I am used with the calendar functionality and I signed up regularly in my previous guilds, be it for available or unavailable, always giving the reason why not available or late.
Do you intend to show up for raids prepared, PVE raid specced, repaired, enchanted, gemmed and with a minimum set of buffs (food buffs and potions/flasks)? I carry around with me a stack of flask and food buff, so I am always prepared for the raid.
We are using a Zero-Sum DKP system, do you agree with this? (x) YES ( ) NO
