OoA lives and dies by three basic principles; have fun, be helpful, and progress. We believe strongly in trying to help all members advance through the game in the manner they most enjoy. That being said, for most of us fun is progression, and that is our main focus even though we only raid two nights a week. But no matter what we are doing individually or as a collective, the "Golden Rule" is something we try to not just talk about around here, but live by. Now that WoTLK 3.3 is out for a few months, we find ourselves delving into ICC in search of the Lich King! Our raiding environment continues to sharpen it's focuson the most difficult encounters in the game, and recruiting people that have the necessary skill and mind set.
We currently raid Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 9:30 PST, with other days being reserved for other "stuff". Our guild consists of mostly adults who have significant real life responsibilities, hence we choose not to have 'required' raids more than twice per week. We run DKP for the 25-mans, while the remaining instances are run using a typical "Need if you Need" system. Our guild membership is pretty solid and pretty set, with references pretty much being required at this point for us to consider you. If you are friends/family with an existing member we'll definately take a hard look at your application, but we like what we have and are very protective of it. That being said, we do have openings from time to time, and aren't completely closed to expanding the guild with folks that agree with our philosophies... and there's always a need for "new blood", so to speak. Should you be interested in joining us, please click on the Recruitment & Application tab and read it over. Feel free to drop in on our Public forums as well (and post any questions you may have), and have a look around at the rest of the site. Thanks for stopping by! Keimorl Guild Master Out of Ashes
