Who we are.

Empire is an aspiring raiding guild on the Silver Hand server. We were chartered June 28th, 2009, with the goal in mind to become a progressive-raiding guild, with valuable and reliable players that serve the community, and the guild, well. We are going to be raiding three days a week, four hours each day with our raid times as 7pm-11pm server time (PST) on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Our guild consists of casuals and elitists alike, so players of both spectrums will have someone to relate to. All seriousness aside, we do like to have fun, and the occasional "Your mom" jokes will pop up in both guild chat, as well as our Ventrilo server. Our loot system is a Shroud DKP system, similar to Leftover's. This is to ensure fairness amongst all raid members, and help lessen the likelihood of loot drama.

Our official raiding starts on August 26th, 2009.

What we expect from you.

In our raid environments, we are expecting nothing more than top-notch performance. This means understanding your role in the raid, what mechanics and abilities you can contribute as a whole, listening to raid leader's instructions, and not dying to silly things such as Void Zones, Flash Freezes, and of course, fires. Not performing your task is not acceptable. For those that have heard me on Ventrilo during our heroics, I do not care what the excuse is. If you didn't do it, you didn't do it, simple as that.

From a social point of view, we expect our members to act as professionally as possible in the actual World itself. This includes General/Trade chat channels, party chat, and the realm forums. With this mindset in place, I need to stress the importance of Empire's reputation. We are aiming to be a highly respected raiding guild, and I will not allow one person to ruin it for everyone. If it is spotted that you are causing any form of drama in those communications outlets (including guild chat) you will be removed. This action will be throughly thought out by myself and my officers to ensure that a guild kick is what is best for the guild.

All that being said, please apply if this seems like the guild for you. We are recruiting anyone who is exceptional at their class, and while the application is relatively along, it is put in place to ensure that we only receive the best that Silver Hand has to offer us. Thank you.

Guild Instance Runs

by Gavzorz, 202 days ago

Since Empire is getting a handful of players that are progressing into more difficult content, I want to stress something here about how these instances will be run, and what I expect out of you guys while we're doing these.

We all want to hit level 80, and running dungeons as a guild levels us faster, and allows us to see each others playstyles, which is crucial to end game raiding. Knowing how a team works makes it much more effective than if we have no idea how each other reacts to various situations, i.e. loss mobs, boss abilities, and use of mechanics in any given encounter.

What I'm expecting from here on out from Empire members is potential to be great raiders. After all, Empire will eventually be a raiding guild, and a competitive one at that. All instances will be ran as a raiding environment - that being, killed the targets in order, acting with coordination, and providing teamwork to each other. Using our Ventrilo will greatly increase the success of the group via strong communication, and allows bonding between members.

That being said, if this sounds strict, or too uptight for your particular playstyle, then Empire may not be for you. However, if you want to excel at playing your class with a group of people who are in the same training process to become great raiders, then you will not be disappointed.

Welcome to the guild site of Empire-Silver Hand (US)

by Gavzorz, 225 days ago

Welcome to the new Empire site! I hope you all find the new site to be a tad user friendly. I'm accepting all suggestions / comments / what you hate about it remarks, and I'll try to fix those immediately. To actually begin on the site, you'll have to make an account with Guild Launch. After that, to join the guild, just click Apply to Guild on the left, type in the Launch code (its found in our Guild Information tab), and walah! You're done! After you've done that, I highly recommend you click on the Guild Roster up top and claim your character(s). The site is still a work in progress, but I hope this will provide some sort of insight as to where the Empire site is going. Thank you!
