By applying, we assume that you have read and understood our Application Information (http://www.atakama.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11).
Disclaimer
Trialing does not and will not guarantee you a spot in the guild. We understand that you pay to transfer over. However, it is your decision to prove your worth to the guild. If you feel that you can perform at our level given enough time, then we are worth your time and money. If you doubt your capabilities, this guild is not for you. We are not looking for people to raid with us for 2-3 months then quit, if you intend to do this then don't waste our time. We expect all incoming applicants to be playing WoW for a long time to come. Have things in order in your life, so that all we have to deal with is you showing up every single raid night. Do not bother applying if you are not willing to transfer immediately upon submission of your application. Figure out if you are truly wishing to join us before submitting your application, rather than wasting our time.
Please allow 1-3 days for us to go over your application. If we do not respond to you within a reasonable amount of time, consider yourself denied. If we decide to contact you for a trial or further questions, a response to your application will either be posted in the thread of the application itself, or sent to you in a private message on these forums. Please check both early and often. Please do not contact us in game about your application.
Again, our raid times are Sunday-Thursday 7:00 PM - 12:00 AM Central Time. Usually raids end around 11, but midnight during progression.
Guidelines
1. State for topic title: Character Name, Spec Class
2. Follow the template and answer it completely and truthfully. Do not do it haphazardly.
3. Proofread. A well-written application goes a long way.
4. All fields are mandatory. Failure to adhere to this simple fact will result in denial.
