Like the vast majority of guilds we at The Order of Toutatis have seen a decline in active players in recent times, some have started to play AoC, others have simply started to play less because of summer time and various other reasons. But the players left behind here still want to raid!!
We have been actively recruiting recently but we're in a catch22 situation - we can't raid effectively due to lack of numbers, and we can't attract new raiders as we're not raiding often enough :roll:.

The players in OOT who still want to raid are a very dedicated selection of people who always strive to get the best out of their characters. We're not the type of players who need to be reminded to cast a certain buff on a group member, debuff mobs or stand in the right place at the right time etc. We always aim to succeed in our raids, we've tried doing a few pickup raids, but in order to progress through RoK raids we need players to be familiar with each other.

Are there any other guilds out there in the same situation as us who would like to try joining forces to see if we can build an effective raid force?

Here's a list of the classes within OOT who want to raid AT LEAST 3 times a week from 7:30pm (UK time);
Myself; Kurmit - Illusionist - (alt also available - Fozzie 80 Coercer)
Troubador - (alts also available - Brigand)
Fury - (alt also available - Dirge)
Paladin - (alt also available - Mystic)
Conjuror
2 Templars
Guardian
Warden
Defiler
Brigand
Warlock

All the players are level 80 and the majority have 140AA and their epic weapons.
We currently have EQDKP and Raidninja setup on our website here; www.rroth.net and we also have a teamspeak server.
If anyone would like to have a chat with us to see if we can get together then please contact me here or ingame .

We all want to raid together and are really looking for another dozen or so players to raid with us. As I've already indicated some of us have other classes as alts, so we can adapt to suit the requirements of any other guilds in a similar situation to ourselves in order to create an effective raid force .

It will be hard to find a guild who wants all of you, but I know we could use a few classes from your list:

Myself; Kurmit - Illusionist - (alt also available - Fozzie 80 Coercer) - either
Troubador
1 Templar
Defiler
Brigand
Warlock

So if you don't find a guild together, send us some apps

I think you'll find they want to keep their guild together but team up with another guild in a similar situation.

There are quite a few guilds in this situation. SoD took a rather large hit recently when a bunch of members left to form Fidelis and be a bit less focused on raids, some left to join guilds a bit more focused on raids and some quit for AoC and I can tell you that recruitment on this server at the moment is pretty dead. We went from always having oversubscription on raids since like tier 5 to not being able to fill our own raids up anymore (we can hit 2-3 groups currently - 4 if a bunch of social raiders feel like a raid at the same time).

We've had recruitment posts up on both major forums and in game and had a few nibbles. Recently we were approached by two different guilds to try out an alliance and it's working very well so far with the guild that we decided to go with and we've made some good progress. I can definately recommend it and it sure beats that sinking feeling of watching your sign up tool throughout the day of the raid hoping that it fills up with last minute sign ups.

So yeah, I think there are many guilds having these issues right now for various reasons and I'm sure there are compatible guilds out there for you to team up with, raid well and not lose your guild identity - though I do imagine there will be some guild mergers going on in the coming months as alliances build and strengthen unless SOE learn how to market the damn game and get some new players in. Of course being on a server where there are so many raiding guilds that there are more raid slots then raiders doesn't help :p

OMG HI, Aerin!

I couldn't be arsed to reply to your recruitment post a week ago. Sad, huh? I can't seem to find the energy for flames anymore.
I blame AoC.

But as you came here knowing that it's a FLAMES forum: Welcome.

You might wanna add that this included some of the longest-serving SoD members who were around and held SoD together when you... were playing Vanguard.
People who've always had a higher raid attendance than... you.

So good luck progressing without those loyal people with your guild that now tries to focus so much more on raiding. That's what you get for not showing respect towards loyal members. Decency seems to be out of fashion so I guess you can't complain about getting some flames.
There's no decency here either.

There's a lot more to be said but a) you'll tell me it's none of my business and b) there's a few people left in SoD that are great people and players that deserve respect.

So while I have no issues with SoD in general I'd like to thank you for the entertainment you provided recently.

I honestly wish SoD all the best for the sake of awesome people like Hannu but may they kill all those tough mobs on evenings when you're afk (Chances are they will anyway).

<3

Hmmz, for once i don't agree with what you write here dis.

For as far as you remember i was with those that left for vanguard (think i was pretty darn loyal to sod until the end ). We had our reasons for doing so and what happened with the split is something i won't go into but it's something i very much understand from the point of view of the 'current' members left in sod. It's something that's already been brewing for years and it's also one of the reason that i, back in the days, when i was still a senior officer, decided to move on. Something which is a bit harder when you're the guildleader and you put all your effort in creating the guild and the guilds' website.

I'm not here to judge Fidelis and/or sod but since you have a pretty much onesided point of view i think i can judge both sides and they both have valid points, hence the reason of the split was something bound to happen and is on itself not a bad idea. Nonetheless, trying to find more recruits in times like this is pretty hard.
