The Raven Council

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.

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.

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

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

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?

Oops, forgot to log in.

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.

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

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