MCO is the longest running raidgroup on Shadowsong.EU. We were among the very first to step into Molten Core and never cut down on raiding since then. Most people who join MCO stay in for a very long time - if not forever - so we have a large amount of members that have been around since since day one of MCO. MCO has adapted, evolved and restructured at numerous times, trying to optimise class balance for faster progress and minimal rotation.
Our ambition is to beat every challenge WoW bestows on us and most of our members are people who feel the call of hardcore raiding and are willing to give it 100% but need to balance in Real Life™. To satisfy those claims our schedule consists of only 3 raid nights per week where everyone gives his best. We believe it is not necessary to invest 7 days a week to progress when everyone pulls on the same rope. Our experience shows us that we are right with this way. MCO is currently (as far as we know) the most successful 3 day raid week guild on Shadowsong.EU.
To strengthen and extend our raidalliance we are looking for skilled, experienced and dedicated raiders. Even if we are not specifically looking for your class feel free to apply - exceptional applications are always considered.
Official Raiding (25man content) takes place three days a week:
Tuesday 19:30 - 24:00
Thursday 19:30 - 24:00
Sunday 18:30 - 24:00
On Offdays some of our members organise raids to the 10man content as well and have done very well there.
We expect members to attend at the very least 75% of our raids, but we run a tight roster so higher attendance is much preferred.
The attendance is measured on an hourly basis, so with 14.5 raid hours a week the absolute minimum attendance required is 11 hours a week.
Loot is distributed by a simple DKP system. In short this means you gain DKP for being in raid (raiding time) and spend by bidding. You will earn DKP whilst you are trial so you will be allowed to bid for items if our regular raiders do not need them. To prevent some stacking DKP and dominate the bidding market afterwards we also have a DKP cap.
Requirements
MCO is looking for mature, helpful and friendly raiders only. We have a very nice atmosphere in our alliance and we want to keep that. So griefing, drama, greed, immaturity, selfishness and emotrips are not traits we look for.
We expect you to be very skilled, dedicated and reliable. This means that you come prepared to raids (Flasks, Potions, Shards, Bandages etc), you know the tactics, you are on current state of theorycrafting regarding your class and spec and constantly work to improve yourself. As we are raiding the end-content you will need gear at least on the entry level for that. We will not gear you up from scratch. As a matter of course your gear should be fully gemmed and enchanted with the best gems/enchantments available.
Application Process
All Applicants need to complete the application form at our website.
After we receive your application it will be reviewed by the alliance management. This will take approximately a week. Afterwards we will let you know if you are getting deeper into the trial process or if our slots for your class are closed at the moment.
