Hello,

We of the Blood Oath are looking to recruit new enthusiastic members to get the ball rolling for the new expansion. Currently we're looking for players of all classes and spec to fill out a second 10 man team and future 25 man group. We have one solid 10 man team that is 10/12 Heroic modes in ICC. We are a little overfull on the number of people that make raid times. Yet we are only a few people away from forming another full independent raid team.

First a little about us. The Blood Oath is a semi-hardcore raiding guild. We treat the game casually but when we raid, we raid to win. That being said, we like to keep things light and have some fun with one another, it's normal for us to joke around in vent on off nights and when pulling trash in raids. All raiders are accountable to one another, we research our classes and individually make sure that our raider toons are always ready to go with the best gems, enchants, specs, and gear that we have available. Naturally, we share our resources, pooling enchanting mats and we never look to make a profit off of a guild mate. If someone needs a primordial saronite and we have a spare one just hanging around, we'll give it to them.

Second are some general rules. Be on time to raids. Always have consumables(flasks, potions, buff food, water, etc) ready. Don't attempt to start loot drama or we will kick you from the guild with no remorse. Other than that, we're just friends killing bosses and getting down hard modes, so we don't need a ton of rules. Most importantly, don't try to start drama, the officers will remove you from the raid and from the guild if it continues to be an issue. We basically assign loot on the fly on the basis of need. We run 10s and we're a tight knit group, so usually people will pass on things so that the person who needs the upgrade the most gets the item. If the drop in question is an equal upgrade, we let the dice decide and roll for it.

Finally how to apply to the guild. Go to Thebloodoath.wowstead.com. Create an account on the website and complete the application by following the link, we'll get back to you for a brief interview and if everything works out you'll be in the guild shortly thereafter. We'll look at your toon's gear and spec, not because we only want people with good gear but because we want to see how well you understand the game. If we look at a ret pally in full ICC10 gear, but he's gemmed with spell power, not enchanted, and with 71 points in retribution versus a ret pally with Naxx gear, but gemmed with strength, enchanted well where appropriate, and specced well, then we'll go with the less geared person every time.

Thank you for your time and we hope to hear form you soon.
