Who we are
<Play Out> is a raiding guild that aims to remain the most successful one on the server. Among our first kills you can see Illidan, Kil’Jaeden, Kel’Thuzad, Malygos, Yogg-Saron, Algalon and Anub’arak.
We’ve cleared ToC25/10 normal, and both ToC10HM and ToC25HM with “A tribute to Insanity”.
Currently we are working on the current content, Icecrown Citadel.
What we want
We want the best people on the server, and are looking for excellent players of all classes and specs. We hope that applicants have experience from end-game raiding, and can maintain a very high raid attendance. Applicants have to know their class very well, and perform their best regardless of the situation. Most of our members are 20-30 years old and we expect applicants to be at least 18 years old to maintain a mature environment.
We require all members to have a very high attendance, always be prepared for old and new encounters, and willing to do everything they can. We raid 19:30-00:00 five nights per week (no regular raids on Friday and Saturday), and demand a 60 % raid attendance – higher for trialists. The raiding schedule may be extended while working on certain encounters.
Don’t be afraid of having not-so-good gear, what we’re looking for are dedicated players with the will to raid and to improve. Gear will come if you can show us you deserve it.
What we offer
What we offer is the opportunity to experience end-game raiding in a friendly, yet professional, environment. We will schedule several raids. 10-man raids, mainly for trialists, and 25-man raids focused on progress. Both versions will be organized and led professionally, and the same demands on discipline and skill will apply to both versions.
We hope that applicants fulfil our requirements, but all applications will be reviewed thoroughly.
Successful applicants will be granted a trial period. During this period the player will be evaluated. Successful trialists will be granted full membership, while unsuccessful trialists will be removed from the guild. We expect trialists to push themselves to their limits during the evaluation period. The length of the trial period may vary depending on the player and other circumstances.
Application Template
All questions are mandatory unless specified as optional. Failure to answer one or more questions will automatically result in your application being declined. Leave a blank line between each question and answer to keep the application clean and easy to read. It is highly recommended that you fill in the application in a text file outside the browser, for safety reasons and for future reference. When you’re done, simply copy/paste the complete application and e-mail it to playoutapply@gmail.com. You will soon receive a reply with an in-game mail (if you’re on Darkspear) or with an e-mail for cross-realm applications (make sure your e-mail address is correct).
If Armory is bugged for you, you don’t have your PvE gear/spec on, or you simply want to include offspecs, create a profile on chardev.org and copy/paste the corresponding URL(s).
Don’t contact officers and ask if we have reviewed your application. We will contact all applicants when we have decided to accept or decline them. Our officers are very busy, and bothering them will greatly reduce the chance of your application being accepted. If several days have passed and you suspect that your application has not been received, ask once, do not keep asking about it repeatedly.
