On Ranks and Raiding

Ranks: With the recent changes (patch 4.0.1) came along a degree of finer detail for managing guild administration and the functions that ranks can perform. In light of this, and in an effort to take advantage both of the game mechanics changes to the ranks and of the interest of guild members to take on more substantive roles in the guild, we will be making some changes to the ranks and who is in the respective ranks.

If you have an interest in taking on more guild functions, let any of the officers know and Locksmith will get in touch with you to make appropriate changes.

Initially, the changes to 'who is in which rank' will largely be a clean up effort to move characters that have been offline for greater than a month to a different rank - this will accomplish both removing the clutter from who we have currently that is active, and will prepare us for an easy house-cleaning exercise to make room for new people. While we have not traditionally been in the habit of removing absentee characters, we also did not have a larger % of the characters in guild absent than the % that is logging in actively. As we prepare for the changes in Cataclysm, we too have our own changes to make to present to the new members a house that is not full of dead wood.

Raiding: It is great to report continued vigorous raiding and much fun had by all! Seems we are beginning to coalesce on who can raid when and we are working to make sure that there are raids for all to participate in. We have recently seen the addition of our 60+ to our Vanilla WoW raids and now 70+ to BC raids! Congrats Ahnu on your awesome BT gear!
