Consider this a friendly reminder to those on Khyber that the Twilight Avengers are currently recruiting new players.

Why join TA?

1) Raid. A lot. Raids are usually scheduled a few days or more ahead of time. The number of raids changes somewhat from week to week, but you'll usually have at least 10 chances to sign up for something each week, and sometimes many more. Anyone can schedule a raid, and members are encouraged to schedule them whenever it suits them so that everyone can participate as much as possible.

2) Scheduled events. This mostly includes Raids, but can also include loot runs, favor runs, or whatever else a member wants. The idea is that we post an event and start on time. For someone like me with a lot of other things besides DDO going on a chance to get in, get the job done, and get out. OK, I don't really have much of a life outside of DDO, but if I did I swear this would help.

3) Work as a team. One of our primary focuses as a guild is to have everyone work as a team. If you've ever run a Shroud run (or other quest) with us, you'll notice that everyone has a job to do and is expected to get it done. This leads to more effective quest completions and is a lot more fun than a party wipe. This aspect also challenges each of our members to be the best they can be, since the rest of the group is counting on them to perform certain tasks.

4) PLS system. We have a point system for dividing up Raid loot. Without getting into detail here, the system rewards those who run Raids. It also allows members to choose how many points to spend on an individual item - if I am willing to spend 2 points and you think an item is worth 6, you'll win the bid and keep it. How do I know this system works? Because in all my time with TA I've never even heard of an argument over Raid loot within the guild.

TA Requirements

1) Play your main. Pick a main toon and play him/her/it. This doesn't mean you can't play alts, but we expect your main toon to have the best gear you can manage. We also expect you to know the character inside and out so that you can play effectively within our team.

2) Raid. There is no set activity requirement, but why pay your monthly fee if you aren't going to play? Inactive players are purged after one month, and we usually expect members to attend one raid per week on average. We have an AFK section for members to post when real life is getting in the way (illness, vacation, overtime at work, whatever) - as long as you let us know we're more than happy to work with you.

3) Check the guild forums. Most members check at least once per day. We expect everyone to check at least once or twice per week. We use the forums to schedule events, to pass on important information to each other, trade items, or just poke fun at each other.

That's it. We're an organized group, but we're not Nazis. Our members have jobs, kids, significant others, etc. If you show up regularly and bring something to the group, we'll be happy to have you.

How to join TA
