Somewhere between Hardcore and casual is my guild.
Why we are not hardcore:
We do not require any particular raid attendance to retain your guild membership.
You are not required to be max level /max AAs as soon as new levels etc are released. Hell some of my raiders still don't have 100AAs.
Most of our guild members are in their mid 30s with serious jobs and family considerations therefore we can only really raid on set schedules EST 8-12pm Mon -Fri 5-12 on Sat and Sun off. All U.S. Holidays are off as well. Accordingly, grabbing contested mobs or even getting in some practice swings at them is very difficult.
Most of our "raiders" make on average 50% of the raids
If your a member of the guild your family members are welcome to join the guild and even come to raids if they want, even if they suck, we can teach them to be better.
Your skill does not have to be the greatest either we have capable members of every class that can teach you to play and raid with your class more effectively if you need that kinda help. We tolerate you at the raid even if your not the absolute king of your class.
Alts if you got em bring em we love ya to have em.
Additionally the guild is not run by any single person. The guild is capable of doing anything it needs to do without any particular person being there. The leadership is made up of mature (mostly) individuals that capable of taking the guild in any direction at any time the absence of any particular person will not effect the guild.
Why we are not casual:
Although we are missing some of the elements that hardcore guilds have I can't state that we are a casual guild either.
We do try to raid 5-6 times every week.
Some of our players are genuine hardcore type studs that could make it any top end guild on any server fortunately they are here with us though ) lol
We do expect you to try to help the guild succeed that means getting adept 3 or masters for every spell / combat art you have. That also means coming to raids prepared with resist gear for any resist type, you must bring potions that are beneficial to your class, status items from guild brokers are also required to be on you at all times.
Your AA lines needs to be geared for raiding not soloing
Your expected to work on access type quests for raid zones if needed and your epic quests.
if your online your expected to be at the raid like i said earlier you wont be guildremoved for not making a certain raid % but if your online you need to come help us.
Where we are content wise:
KoS zones not a problem can kill any epic zones/mobs released with KoS
Cheldrak no problem
Freethinkers hideout (even after tinker nerf) Clockwork menace factory no problem
Inner sanctum killed all except Mayong
Emerald Halls All mobs on first floor killed including Rumbler.
Killed one mob on second floor of Emerald Halls then some giant unicorn kicked the living shit out of us lol.
So anyway if this seems like the kinda guild your interested come give us a try you can contact Jupilie or Midiian on Blackburrow or head to our website

What we are looking for:
Level 70: No AA requirement at this time
Shamans (defilers or mystics)
Scouts (all of em)
Casters (all of em ESPECIALLY coercers illusionists forgive my spelling i know i suck)
Fighter ( none of em unless you have an alt see above)
What you can expect the first 30 days:
You earn DKP for every hour or every raid you attend
You may not bid against full members during your first 30 day probationary period
30 days after you join the guild the members will vote to keep or reject you
Assuming you make the vote your in.
Please be advised that at certain times we may make raids for the sole purpose of gearing up our recruits. On those raids recruits will be given loot priority and the above no bid rule will be suspended.
