Who we are:Ropetown is an Executus Horde raiding guild that was founded in 2004. We're a stable guild that combines our fun, unique personality with competitive progression. We have been known as a successful guild for years with consistent rankings in the U.S. and world. We have a laid-back, casual, and friendly atmosphere. We love to joke around, but we enjoy killing dragons even more.
What we're looking for:- Enthusiasm about raiding.
- Dedication and loyalty.
- Friendly personality.
- A high level of knowledge about your class as reflected by your gear, spec, and combat logs. Familiarity with current theorycraft is expected.
- Adequate raiding experience. You should have killed at least 6/7 heroic Firelands bosses, and have experience in heroic Dragon Soul. Exceptions will be considered, especially if you have significant experience in past content.
- Availability to raid on Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday from 8pm-1am EST. This is a social and friendly guild, so you should log on outside of these times as well.
- You should be willing to use Ventrilo for both listening and speaking. If you don't speak – when appropriate – during raids then do not apply.
- You should have a computer that can handle raid instances and a reliable internet connection. You should also have a UI that fits your class and role.
- (Optional) Ability and willingness to play an offspec, or the ability to play an alt competently.
- PvP experience is a plus, but is not required. High arena ratings suggest good situational awareness.
How to apply:Make sure that you read this section IN ITS ENTIRETY and very carefully before starting your application. It contains important information necessary for your application!There are two ways to apply to Ropetown. The first is to answer the questions listed in the first reply post to this thread. Alternatively, if you really want to impress us you can write a free form application. Your free form application should cover all the important questions in our application, but it's an opportunity for you to break away from the question/answer format, add your own style and personality, and include extra information you deem important. Don't bother sending in an application if it uses another guild's template, we won't accept it.
If becoming a member of this guild is important to you, put some time into your application. It is in your best interest to go above and beyond the bare minimum. Keep in mind that your application might be the only impression we have of you - make it a good one! Before you apply please keep in mind that you must
prove to us in your application that you are already a fantastic player, or that in our raids you have the potential to grow to become one. Most of the time, but not always, this is done by showing us great logs, top notch past progression, or a history of membership in excellent guilds. If you do not have any of these things you are still welcome to apply, but remember that you must somehow prove your worth!
If you are interested in applying, please email your application to
roperecruit@gmail.com Additionally, register at the Ropetown forums, and submit a copy of your app via private message to
Ziggurat (case sensitive!). You'll hear back from us within a few days after the first review of your app. We will be contacting you through email, so please be sure that they do not get caught in your spam filter.
If you do the following things you may be instantly denied unless the rest of your application is spectacular. Even if we don't deny you, we will ask you to fix these things, so unless you enjoy wasting your own time it would benefit you to apply correctly the first time. Additionally, it will reflect poorly on your application, because we will know that you are incapable of reading and following directions.
- DO NOT post your app to our public forums.
- DO NOT write your app in microsoft word and email it as an attachment.
- DO NOT attach a screenshot of your UI to your email or forum PM. Upload the screenshot to an image hosting website, such as imgur.com, and paste the link to the screenshot in your application.
- DO NOT lie to us. This is grounds for instant denial or gkick.
Here's a list of a few things that you should DO to improve your chances of being offered a trial:
- DO send your application as both an email and as a forum PM. There are reasons for this redundancy, and if you intend to become a member of this guild you will need an account on our forums anyway.
- DO nicely format your application in both the email and ESPECIALLY the forum PM. It improves readability and means that an officer does not need to spend 10 minutes reformatting your app. Save us time and show that you take pride in the things you do and it will be noticed.
- DO make sure that our emails are not being caught by your spam filter. If you do not hear from us via email within 3-5 days after your initial application, you should take the initiative and contact us.
- DO respond promptly and thoroughly to any followup questions.
- DO tell us if English is not your first language. This is okay with us, provided you can communicate clearly enough when necessary, but if it impacts how your application reads it's important that we know why.
- DO ask us questions if you don't understand any part of the application process, or simply want more information!
- DO list your favorite ice cream flavor at the end of your application to indicate that you fully read through this section. If you're lactose intolerant or dislike ice cream you may include your favorite color instead. If you're really indecisive then just note that you read this and we'll remember you're a boring person.
