Overview
Casual Gamerz (CG) is an Alliance guild which is a casual guild with a medium hardcore raiding contingent. The guild was started on January 25, 2006 on the Sen'jin server in World of Warcraft. The guild has a whole set of rules, but number one is "It is a game, have fun playing it or go someplace else to do that". Unlike a lot of raiding guilds, a good portion of our members are casual players, but we do have a small (30-40) group of members who are hardcore players. We accept both types of players, and have fun in either case. The guild will never force somebody to conform to a cookie cutter mold of what someone thinks their class should be, or even what their play schedule should be.
The guild does not now nor will it in the foreseeable future have a specific requirement on how many raids you can or must do in a week. Most of the members are aware that real life does exist and the members want to have a fun time with this game and NOT ruin that for anyone.
Guild Ranking Hierarchy
1. Guild Master - Leader of the guild. The Guild Master at this time is Chirip.
2. Raid Leader - These are the members of the guild who are officers who's main job is to know everything there is to know about an instance being run. It is their job to lead a raid on a high level instance.
3. Class Leader - Leaders of a specific class. The class leaders help lead their classes in raids for the raid leader, as well as train members and otherwise assist their class to better performance.
4. Devout - Officers who are devoted to the guild, but do not want a larger leadership role in the guild. These members do a lot of helping of members and help with raid runs.
5. Veteran - members who have been with the guild for a while and have been showing their knowledge and abilities to the guild will get promoted to this level. This is usually done by a class leader.
6. Member - Normal guild membership is at this rank.
7. Initiate - All new recrutes are placed at this level. They will be moved to member when a class leader has had a chance to interview the initiate.
8. This is the level that everyone is in who is getting punished for something. When a new person is added to the guild they are placed in this level and they should be promoted to Initiate imediately by the person who did the inviting. If they don't please ask them to do it for you as you will not be able to talk in guild chat. I am not listing the name of the level here because it changes fairly regularly.
Guild Information
The guild was started shortly after the server was put on line. CG is one of the oldest guilds on the server. The guild averages between 3 and 4 hundred toons and between 175 and 250 accounts. CG have over 100 level 60+ characters, some owned by the same person, but most players only have one level 60 and several lower level toons. With the release of the Burning Crusade, we had several people up to level 70 within the first two to three weeks of the release. We are expecting that all the toons that were level 60 before the BC release will be 70 within 10 to 15 weeks of the release, with 30-40 of them there in a lot shorter time. We also have people who started new toons with the BC release and some are racing for 70, and some even expect to get to 70 within the first month of the BC release.
CG accepts toons of all levels into the guild and tries to be helpful to all members who are leveling. We do have a rule that if you need help leveling, you can ask the guild and exept any help you get, or you can whisper anyone who is 10 or less levels above you who is not in an instance. If you whisper someone and they say no, thank them and move on.
The guild has members who are of an age range of about 10 (not sure if there are any younger, there is a rumor of a 3 year old, but from what I hear he is more of a raid wiper then anything else) to 65 or older. We have a good representation of male and female (actual players not toons) in the guild as well.
Loot Distribution
Casual Gamerz uses the SuicideKings (SK) addon to control loot in 20-40 man instances. For runs that are less then 20 man runs, it is normal that the members of the run will greed on everything except BOP items and the members of the run will all pass on the BOP items and then figure out who gets it or if there is and enchanter on the run then the item might be DEed and then the components rolled on. The only exception to this is a raid member can roll need if, and only if, it is an upgrade to an item currently equipt, and the new item will be equipt immediately. If the party has no problem with it, the person who rolls need can wait to wear a BoE item so it can be sent to an enchanter.
With the release of the BC, we will also be using SK for raids for level 70 groups of size 10+. Right now that means we will use it for Karazhan.
