Who is Iyvy

I am Iyvy also known as Majis. Before the TLP servers I ran a successful heroic raiding guild on a WoW private server (12/12 HC LK). I have also run successful raiding guilds on live in wow, raided from classic-Cataclysm and played Everquest originally in classic through LDoN.


I started on the TLP servers on Ragefire, leveled quickly and had an aggressively defensive strategy to the wild west style on Ragefire, eventually making an uneasy truce with guilds who did not initially play nice (Hi  Apok =)). I raided on Ragefire with Ubiquitos which left Ragefire for Lockjaw in hopes of finding a more friendly server where I was not always on edge defending camps, there we joined Modest Man and not pleased with their leaderships system of taking everything and selling it for krono took a break before Kunark, only to find Kunark released early and myself behind my friends who had joined Faceless, fed up with MM. Before catching up the new server was announced and I made my decision and prepared to once again swap servers, and decided with friends to make a new fairer more inclusive guild based around scheduled raiding.

Leadership, loot, and raiding

The leadership system of Must We desires to move away from a dictatorial system where a single person is in charge. Each officer has an equal say in major decisions, each officer must agree on a new officer and any decisions reached will be announced on the guild website. Additionally all loot gained and distributed will be kept track of and recorded. Every item in the guild bank will be indexed and posted on a google document, everything given away will have it's recipient recorded. In this way no cloaks of flames will disappear into the ether only to be sold for krono to profit specific officers. A major reason for this guilds creation is to end shady practices caused by the Krono and RMTs. We are currently recruiting for some Officer positions and will be asking key friends from Lockjaw and Ragefire to Officer, as well as Raid lead.

If you would like to apply as an Officer please send a Parcel or mail to iyvy and we can set up a verbal interview.

All loot will be BIS > main and will be bid for in raid with current DKP. BIS in this context refers to Best In Slot which is to say if a piece of loot is the best for your class or role you get priority (get to bid first) over anyone with better options. Additionally tank roles may be given priority on hybrid (tank/dps) items, especially tanks who are actually tanking. There is no maximum limit on bids, and there is no minimum raid attendance to bid. You may bid the DKP you've earned immediately. Between expansions DKP will be flushed 25-75%, an amount to be decided later. The purpose of flushing is to not let people horde DKP in early expansions then buy everything later.

We believe this loot system will be the most fair, it will encourage everyone and anyone to try and come to raids and feel like they can be rewarded, while also giving those who raid more, more DKP and thus more loot. DKP will not degrade during expansions.

Raid times will be 9 EST Thurs, Friday, Sat. Tentatively as we get larger raid forces and figure out how long we need to fully clear content these times may change. Major raids (Vox, Nagafen, Gods) will be on Friday Saturday. With Sky on Thursday. This is subject to change.

All raids require Teamspeak and appropriate gear for your role, if your gear seriously inhibits your performance or you do not properly understand your role. You do not need to speak on Teamspeak but you do need to listen.
This is an open recruitment letter to any and all players starting on the new Phinigel Server. The purpose of Must We will be to fill a specific niche not currently provided by guilds on the TLP servers. Must We will be a semi-casual raiding guild that focuses on scheduled raiding and inclusivity. Raids will be at set times, loot will be given out based on DKP, no minimum attendance, no special rules outside of class priorities (certain classes and roles receive priority on certain loot, for instance tanks). If you show up to raids, you get DKP. If you bid the most DKP, you get items. Must We's main goal will be to form a raid group that can consistently clear the instanced content at set times . As membership grows, we will form additional clears. Must We will be a guild of mature, intelligent friends who play eq, group together, chat, and down bosses. 


Admission Requirements:
Must We has no specific requirements to join. This is a guild for experienced players, and therefore new players may be better suited elsewhere, but no level or raiding requirement is explicitly required to join, just a short interview. Raiders are expected to have acceptable gear and have an acceptable understanding of their class in order to raid, asking questions is encouraged but a certain amount of personal research is as well, you shouldn’t be asking how to get mana back in guildchat.


Rules:


  • Don’t be a dick
  • No explicit begging, whining, screaming, or generally being nuisance
  • No slurs in guildchat
  • No bullying members, even if they’re weird as fuck (Weird is fine, Obnoxious... not so much)
  • No breaking server rules, that includes getting around boxing rules, botting, etc etc
  • No malicious KSing/training, obviously there are grey areas
  • Be as helpful to others as they are to you


Raiding and loot rules Requirements:


There are no requirements to raid to stay in the guild. If you don’t have time or are more of a dungeoneer/whatever, that’s fine. You should strive to be useful to people in some way, whether that’s raiding, tradeskilling, helping with dungeons or just being up for whatever. Raids will require a certain level to reward DKP, invising to naggy at lvl 28 doesn’t count. All raid targets and certain metrics award dkp (each sky island for instance). All loot is rolled in raid, mains first always, certain classes may have priority (get to bid first) on certain loot (warriors, etc). There is no raid attendance requirement, DKP will be flushed to some extent at each expansion (tbd). We want to get away from guild leadership that soaks up all the loot, which disappears into the ether and is sold on the auction channel months later for krono. All loot is transparent and should end up in the hands of members.

Feel free to post about yourself below. Ask questions. Get talking. We look forward to meeting you all!
