The BlackHand needs you!
Updated 17/11/09
Preamble
The BlackHand (TBH) is once again opening its doors for new blood, new blood with the desire to raid. We are currently adding to our forces to continue progressing through the TSO raid zones.
We would like you to be part of this.
Raid Times and Raid Information
TBH raids four times a week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) and these all start from 1930 UTC.
For raiding (and general purpose grouping, etc), we use the Ventrilo voice programme and have our own server.
While raiding, you will gain DKP for attending and then one additional point for every additional hour spent on a raid. These can then be spent using our auction system, Master 1 donation system or our in-game raid auction: with all three being integrated with our community website.
Current Progress
In RoK we have everything clear except the Maestro, Byzola and Trakannon. In TSO we have the killed the following:
Tomb of the Mad Crusader: 3/5
Palace of the Ancient One: 1/5
Ykesha's Inner Sanctum: 2/5
Ward of Elements: Clear
Munzok's Material Bastion: 1/6
We are missing the below regular raiding classes to push further and that is where you come in.
What we Seek
We are seeking active players - those willing to raid with us whenever we announce a raid. We require members who want to help lay the table, not just eat there.We want members who can contribute to the guild moving forward and hitting the highest goals. We want players who can be seamlessly integrated into the TBH community. I.e. those who will join in on guild chat, who will quest with and who will group with our members for instances and for general help, whilst being able to raid professionally when we raid.
Ideally we need the following regular classes for TSO progress;
2 Brigands
2 Dirges
2 Troubadours
Applications are closed to all other classes as we have a full compliment of them.
Requirements
In order to raid, new applicants need to be level 80. Armour and Equipment should be of decent quality whilst spells and combat arts need to be adept III or preferably better. Resists are required to be 8k un-buffed at the bare minimum, with the ability to reach 10k on certain resist when required. 18% critical mitigation and 160 achievement points are also preferred. Should you not have your Fabled epic, you may still apply but will need to make obtaining it your number one objective.
Experience and VP access is a plus, but we will happily take on those with little experience so long as they have the desire to succeed and to help push the guild along.
About us
TBH was created in 1999 on the Sarym server of EverQuest 1. Since then we have expanded into many games, imposing ourselves on the game and sometimes even the history of the game itself. Currently, we have active branches in Darkfall Online, Eve Online, EverQuest 2 and once the game goes live, Aion. We have also dabbled in other games with Age of Conan, Ascheron's Call, Dawn of War, Enemy Territory, Hellgate: London, Lord of the Rings Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, Warhammer Online, World of Warcraft and most notably Anarchy Online (to name but a few,) having had our members proudly bear the TBH tag.
Games (and guilds) come and go, but the one thing we pride ourselves on creating is the TBH community, where all members of these games can interact and get to know one another through our website and our Ventrilo server which members use daily and through this, some have known each other for years. The main focus of the TBH community has always been friendship, camaraderie and integrity which we use to push the guild towards its goals and to compete at the highest levels. This is why we shall always prevail.
In short, we are not a hardcore guild and we are not a guild that kicks people for a poor performance, rather we improve them and their performance for the benefit of the guild.
Recently, we have set up a Facebook page for our members and this can be found
here.
We have a large following from Britain and the Scandinavian countries, but also have members from Australia, Europe, Asia and the United States all of whom have contributed in making this a great guild; most notably when all our members pooled their efforts together to achieve a server first of guild level 60.
We are currently a level 80 guild and have a fully decorated T3 Guild Hall.
