Descendents is always interested in adding talented, dedicated players to our roster.
The key things we expect from our guildmates are maturity, team spirit, the drive to succeed, promptness, attentiveness and the ability to play within our scheduled raid times.
Our scheduled raid times are Tuesday 7-11pm PST, Thursday 7-11pm PST, and Sunday 6-11pm PST. These times were chosen to enable people on the West Coast with day jobs and active lives to participate. We raid fewer days per week than other EQ raiding guilds at our level, so regular attendance is absolutely vital to our success.
If you cannot participate in all of our events in their entirety, Descendents is not for you.
Please recognize that Descendents is highly selective, and we take the application and temp process very seriously. The quality and legibility of an application, responses to questions on the application and conduct during the temp period carry great weight. Our continuing goal is to experience and enjoy the end game of Everquest with people who will make it worthwhile.
We are currently keying new recruits for Deathknell, and TSS progression, if you are accepted
Accepted Applicants to the guild who are invited to temp with us on raids will be expected to participate in all guild events, get a guild tag before each event, and deguild afterwards.
Here is a table describing the various membership levels we have within Descendents, and the privileges and responsibilities of each ranking:| Member Standings | Expectations |
| Full-Time | Attends at least 9 events per 12, up to 3 absences per typical month. Guaranteed spot on raids. |
| Part-Time | Misses more than 3 events per 12, up to 9 absences per typical month. Loots after full-time members, no guaranteed spot on raids. The part-time membership status is not something we recruit people for; it is something granted only to longstanding members who have earned their place in the guild and for various reasons no longer play as much as the rest of us. |
| Temp | Minimum 12 consecutive events, loots after full-time and part-time members, guaranteed spot on raids with rare exceptions. |
| Accepted Applicant | No attendance requirements, but invited to our applicant chat. No promises of loot, no guaranteed spot on regular raids. Often invited to offnight activities. |
| Retired | No attendance requirements, no promises of loot, no guarantee of participation. Guild tag retained for purely social reasons. |
Players in Descendents are expected to focus on one character. If a member chooses to switch to another character and the guild leader approves it, that character must meet all current recruiting requirements and the switch will be considered permanent. We do not allow alternate characters on raids unless their presence is specifically requested by the raid leader.
Lottos are presently done using a Gear Allocation System. Briefly, this system uses a Gear Factor that is obtained by dividing the number of raids attended by the amount of gear received. This number is normalized to compare the amount of gear a person has won compared to others in the guild. The goal of this system is to distribute gear evenly and fairly amongst our guild members.
Ultimately this is a guild for active, highly skilled players, and our recruiting decisions will be made with the intention of enhancing our ability to win the battles we choose to fight. If this sounds like fun and you meet the requirements, please fill out our application.
