Consider yourself lucky, I've written a new one. For those that have forgotten, this is what a newsletter looks like and this one is way overdue.
So lets start off with some recent news. In the last two months the guild has been struggling a bit with attendance, this is normal with the European summer, but I am happy to say in the last 2 weeks things have been picking up a bit. We've also gained some new members during the summer and I'd like to say officially welcome to all the new members(including the Belgish invasion

). Wednesday past was also the first time in a long time that our 25man raid had more ranged dps than melee.
We've also had some fun over the past few months with the amazing race(level 1 Character exploring). The first one was won by Mars, the second one by Krullgra the third by Erazion. We're planning on doing this again soon.
As the season changes the guild will be making a few changes. Now sit down and breath deeply, there will be no major changes.
Firstly I will be monitoring raiders EP a lot closer, if you drop below 8100EP as Veteran Raider you rank will be drop immediately, if you drop below 3500EP as Raider you will be dropped to social member. Trial raiders have two month to get there EP above 4000EP at with point they will be promoted to Raider. We will also be doing away with early EP as it's not working as expected. (Effetive date 31st of August)
Tonight I will start going through ranks and adjusting as necessary.EP Per Raid
20:15 75EP
20:30 50EP
20:45 50EP
21:00 50EP
21:15 50EP
21:30 50EP
21:45 50EP
22:00 50EP
22:15 50EP
22:30 50EP
22:45 50EP
23:00 50EP - This tick may not always happen.
23:00 75EP
Thus 650 EP per raid
We are busy reviewing the Weekly decay once we're done I will start a thread with our findings and thinking behind it.Raids on the calender, in order to avoid confusion I would like to ask that nobody accept on multiple characters. Please accept on your main character only if we're allowing alt's for that specific run you will be told when we start inviting.
No shows and late arrivals for raids will now be given 300GP. So make sure when you accept a raid you can attend. Leaving early without notifying the raid leader in advance will also incur this penalty. If you're not available for the entire raid please set yourself as tentative this way we know to talk to you and find out what's up, prior to inviting you if we're sort of people.
We will also start using raid priority inviting again. Priority is as follows.
1. Veteran Raiders
2. Raiders
3. Trial Raiders
4. Alt Raiders
5. Social
6. Alt's
So as you can see if you'd like to take an alt to a raid your priority will drop.
Looting changes, Mains take priority over alts. Calls for loot will look as follows from now on out in order of priority.
1. me ms
2. me os
3. me ms alt
4. me os alt
P.s. Should you be asked by the Raid Leader to use your alt because we're short of something your priority for that specific raid will be the same as mains and thus your call will be "me ms" or "me os" 10 Man raid changes, we've been trying to get more people the Kingslayer title and it's proven difficult. So after a long discussion with the other officers we've decide that we going to keep trying to do this but in a more conservative manner raid team 1 will consist of at least 6 Kingslayers and non-Kingslayers. We will also ensure that there is always at least 1 Kingslayer tank, 2 Kingslayer healers if at all possible and at least 3 Kingslayer dps. This does mean that you won't always be able to raid with your BFF.
Well enough with the changes ... what's staying the same.
The guild officers
1. Slapper (GM)

Finally I'd like to say thanks to all our committed members for there time and effort. I can honestly say it's a pleasure being the GM of this guild.
P.s. Best of luck to Terrar who has been deployed in Iraq, please look after yourself.
