SP - isily

[isily]

What is your character's name, race, class and level?
- Isily, blood elf, priest (shadow), 90.

Is this character your main character? Have you had any other characters before this one?
- As for MoP, then yes, Isily's my current main. Played a warlock in TBC (Daitheflu), rogue (Sugarx) from late-TBC to Wotlk, and DK (Sugarofc) in Cata. Needless to say I also have tons of alts, some of which I have raided on (ret paladin, hunter to some extent, and dps warrior). Have been actively raiding since early Wotlk and only missed one tier (T13.. killed Madness hc when I came back to the game in Sep'12)

Why <The Raven Council> and not any other guild?
- I'm currently without a guild. Have been looking for a home, but there aren't too many (semi-casual) 10-man guilds that would raid on a three-evening basis, that would have a decent progress in the current tier (decent by my definition is around top 2000), and who's opened for new recruits.

Where (or from whom) did you hear about <The Raven Council>?
- Via Wowprogress.

Who are you? (please tell us a little about the real life you).
26 years old, a uni student (M.A degree), but pretty much done with my studies. Into music/cinema, like to hang around with friends, read from time to time, and so on. I'm not really that much of a gamer besides WoW (however I do enjoy some games from time to time). Not too much else to add. x)

Ps. Applying for the main raiding group. I didn't notice you having your raiding times anywhere on this forum, so I'm just hoping they aren't totally unsuitable for me. x)

If you have any questions, please ask.

[Jimmble]

Thanks for your application. Please give us a bit of time to review it.

Our raid times are 20:00 - 23:00 server time, Thursday, Sunday and Monday.

[Jimmble]

Btw did you notice you are in the wrong faction and on another server? Blood elves don't really like gnomes, I heard.

[isily]

Yeah, they don't seem to get on that well. Anyway, I'm aware. Willing to transfer, obviously.

[Jimmble]

Your application has been accepted. Please whisper an officer for a /ginvite.

Ok, that's good to know. But before I transfer, I'd like to know about your rotating/recruiting policy--do you raid more or less with the same people 10-11 (12) or do you have a larger raider core / many recruits? In short, can I expect a (more or less) permanent spot in the main group or will there be a lot of rotating due to the number of people?

[Guest]

Oops, forgot to log in.

[Jimmble]

Our raid group usually consists of 10-14 people, but in this tier we have a pretty stable team, so we are aiming at 12.

You can find more information here: http://ravencouncil.com/blog/2011/07/raid-ethos/

Note: the article was written during Firelands, since then our raid days have changed to Thursday, Sunday and Monday.

[Jimmble]

You could start with the raiding today if you can manage the realm transfer before the raid (20:00).

[isily]

Ok, cool. I'll see if I can make it.
