I belong to a guild that back in the Fernia days was one of the older and bigger guilds. Lots of people around, lots of high end players to raid with, great people I've come to really like, etc. Over the last few months, though, we've had quite a few people leave. People go to WoW, to Lotro, to AoC, or just take breaks, quit, take care of real life or what have you.
The situation I now find myself in is I'm in a very small guild with the few people who are left are mostly pretty casual, or who have families and other commitments that don't let them play all that often. I think they're great and I don't really want to leave this fun guild I've been a part of for so long.
The problem, of course, is that other than me, there's really only one other active member who raids, gets high end quests done often, etc. PUGs can be hard to get into for some of the raids when you're not in a big and active guild, and this coupled with a break I had to take to deal with real life issues for a couple of months have left me somewhat behind the curve. I've been on all the raids except the abbot now and I generally know what I'm doing, but I'd like to have a chance to pick up the pace on my raiding. I'm generally on late nights and weekends.
Are there any guilds or groups that raid regularly out there who would think about taking on a provisional member or giving me a shot to prove I at least don't suck? I've been around forever and you've likely grouped with one of my toons at some point...Colde is my main. If you're part of a group that raids regularly and could use another hand, I'm looking to get on a few friend lists, but I'm not yet ready to leave the great group of people I'm guilded with. Send a PM on here or a message in game to Colde. I have a few raiding toons but he's my main and I'm usually on him.
