1. The Mission Statement
Sons of Liches is a Level 80 Raiding guild. SoL is a progression raiding guild who strive to be the best of the best, all the while having fun in a friendly and active gaming community.

2. Site Usage
All members of the guild must have a site account before joining. This is non-negotiable. You will NOT be invited to join until you have registered an account.

3. Mains & Alts
Every player in the guild may have one raiding main. When you join us that character will be allocated that raiding spot. You may join the guild with other level 80 alts you posses but these alts will NEVER get a raid spot over another characters main. If you wish to change your main at a later date, you will need to petition an officer. Alts will only be invited to the guild once your main attains the rank of Raider and above.

Having & playing alts in the guild is a bonus, not a right! If you are playing an alt, doing a heroic etc and the guild has need of you to make a raid happen, you will drop whatever you are doing and help out. This applies even if you do not sign up. If you are online and playing, you are available! If we are going to progress, we ALL need to be flexible, and by joining our ranks you share this philosophy.

4. Raid Spots
Raid spots are assigned at the officers/class masters discretion, based on performance, attitude and overall suitability. If you do not perform well, have a poor attitude, or are otherwise determined unsuitable, you will lose your raid spot to someone more suitable. These raid spots are earned, not given.

NOTE WELL: The old system followed a first come, first served basis for allocating spots. This is no longer the case. We will be building raids out of the BEST we have available. If this isnt you, you will not make the cut and may be benched until you raise your game, and give you time to work for your spot back.

5. Raid Frequency and Teams
Depending on progression, we may have multiple raid groups operating at any one time. If you are not given a starting spot in one of these groups group, this does not mean you should instead go down the boozer on a raid night. We may need replacements, or another raid group may be made with the right numbers. If you want to earn your place in a group, you need to fight for a spot and be available when you're needed.

All raids will be posted on the site at least 5 days before they begin. The roster will be decided via who signs up in the buildup to the raid date. If you sign up for the raid and are placed in the waiting list, you must still be online at the time of the raid in case you are needed! Players on the waiting list may be allocated a raid spot by the raid leader at any time, so check often!

6. Raid Conduct and Attendance
If you are scheduled to attend a raid, you MUST be online at least 15 minutes before the start of the raid for an invitation. An 8:30 start means we start at that time, not you turn your computer on after dinner. If you are more than 5 minutes late, you will be deducted EP in accordance with our rules. If you fail to come online by the time your spot has been filled and no reason has been give, it will be counted as a missed raid. More than 1 missed raid in a short period with no valid reason will see you losing your raiding spot to someone else.

All raid members MUST be able to at least listen on ventrilo, and should have the latest DBM and Omen installed at a minimum.

Raiders are expected to be professional while raiding. We all want to have fun, but sometimes you just have to knuckle down and get on with things. If you are hindering raid progress by being a drama queen, you will be kicked and replaced.

For all SoL raids, unless otherwise specified, invites start at 19:30 Server time and the raids start at 20:00 Server time weekdays. Weekend raid times may vary by group.

Typical Raid Schedule is as follows:
Wednesday: ICC10 Groups 1,2 & 3
Sunday: ICC10 Continuation groups
Monday: ICC25
Tuesday: ICC25

On non-regular scheduled days, we may occasionally do further continuation runs or runs in other raid instances to get other needed items.

The Raid schedule is not static, it's a living breathing thing. We may, if time permits, add an additional boss, an additional instance, or straight-up change the location of the raid based on the turnout and makeup of the raid. Our focus is on progression, and if we have the people, we're going to attempt to accomplish as much as we possibly can.

You are expected to provide your own potions, flask, food etc for the raids. If you come to a raid without a flask / food buffs, you're gimping yourself, and therefor the raid.

Full consumables must be used. this includes the following:

Sufficient Flasks for the full raid duration (flasks must be from wotlk recipes) - Frost Wyrm, Endless Rage, Mojo, Stoneblood (or Alchemy alternatives)
Food buff (food obtained from wotlk recipes is mandatory) - Do not rely on fish feasts being provided
Mana/Health/Haste potions (depending on class) (must be wotlk potions)
Weapon Poisons (Rogues)
Reagents

Standard stuff:

You must be fully enchanted and gemmed before stepping foot in one of our raids.

Do not go AFK unnecessarily. If you must do it, let the raid leader know beforehand or you will lose DKP as per our DKP Rules

We have fun in vent/raid chat but there is a time and a place. We take our raids very seriously and expect you to do the same.

100% Focus during raid times. Please don't play if you are distracted with something.

Listen to the raid leader and do as he / she says.

Offer advice to raider leaders but never argue. Raid leader has final say in all strategies and will not tolerate players with attitude.

If you are a healer, listen to the designated healing leader (if there is one during the raid). They decide all healing assignments

Do not release during a boss fight unless you are told to do so

Do not go afk if you die in a boss fight. Druids might res you and you must be at your keyboard ready to accept.

When you run back after a wipe please do so fast. We do not like to wait for people who run slowly.

When a ready check is started by the raid leader do not click ready unless you have taken all your consumables and checked for your raid buffs.

If you are a raid buffing class make sure you know what your assignments are and buff everyone when the raid leader calls for it.

You must be on ventrillo for the raid. you do not need to speak but you must be able to listen.

7. DKP System and Information
As a raiding guild we make use of a DKP system to reward our regular raiders with gear. If you are on trial with us, then you are subject to the loot restrictions as laid out on the Guild Ranks page.

For each boss kill you are present for you earn DKP as per our DKP rules. New encounters may give additional DKP for each good attempt while we are learning, and a bonus when the boss is downed.

When bidding on an item the cost of the item is determined by the Gear Point value of the item. IF an item is not needed by anyone, the gear may be give for offspec at 10% of the GP value.

If you are a new raider, you will be expected to know the fundamentals of our system, as we will NOT wait for you.

8. The Guild Bank
Firstly, we appreciate all the donations made by members.

All donations should be sent to the character "BankOfLiches". All requests for bank items should be made using the site system made for this purpose. If an item donated is not put into the bank, it will be magically converted into gold and this will be deposited in its stead. Profession materials are welcome, but will never be given for levelling purposes. Donations of Enchant scrolls, Pots & Flasks and other raid buff consumables will be looked upon favorably!
