Faded Dreams is a serious raiding guild whose emphasis is on having fun, with a focus on PVE raiding. Loot distribution is done in a fair and equitable manner with the goal of increasing our PVE success.

We raid Monday through Thursday 6:45-11:00 server time (Central) in 25-man groups. We occasionally run 10- or 25-man content on weekends with our social members and alts.

Please see our website for current recruitment needs and application details:

Faded Dream's History

Faded Dreams or FD was formed on 2/16/2005 by Psoriasis, Gyeran, Blak, and Emoo. It has actively raided since creation date at max capacity. Some founding members of Faded Dreams still interact with the guild and remain active in it's interests. FD's raider base consists of many vanilla players as well as those that started during later expansions. FD's collection of 'kill' videos for boss encounters can be found here: Video website Link

Faded Dreams has a Council based leadership. Council members are promoted from the raiding roster replacing those that may retire from the game or active raiding. A council position is a lifetime position and requires a unanimous vote among current Council Members.

Senior Raiders: Unless on Council, the specific raid leaders, ie the tank leader, raid heal leader and dps leaders as well as long time raiders may be given this rank. Sr. Raiders have access to a special forum to discuss ongoing guild issues, and for their particular class, serve as a liaison between Council and the rest of the guild as it relates to recruitment needs for their class, talent specifications, or fulfill a specific need or assignment for basic guild function.

Raiders are the general raiding members of the guild. A raider is a full guild member and subject to the benefits and duties that entails. At this time, there is no limit as to the number of alts allowed in the guild.

Applicants are new guild members hoping to reach raider status. While applicants and raiders share the same priority for raid invites, all raiders have priority over applicants when it comes to loot distribution.

Socials are members that are in the guild purely for social reasons. Unlike other guilds we allow our raiders who no longer have the desire to raid to become a social member and stay here for purely social purposes. Sometimes friends of full members are allowed in the guild for social purposes, however the full members who are friends with that social are entirely responsible for that person. Socials are still bound by the conduct rules outlined below and particularly annoying socials will be removed from the guild without a second thought. In addition, socials that portray a pattern of behavior that is not supported by Faded Dreams will be removed from the guild.

Loot Distribution

Loot is very simple. Council has the final say as to how all loot will be distributed. Council has discretion to award any loot to any person. Certain items, such as all trinkets, legendary etc. are always subject to loot council distribution. For all other items, as an aid to Council the following standards are applied:

1) Raiders have priority on loot over applicants 2) Priority is determined by DKP and attendance. Raiders who have a better than 90% attendance record over the last 60 days may be granted priority over a person with higher dkp yet lower attendance, but that determination rests solely within the Council's discretion. The rationale for this is to promote attendance and gear those people who are raiding nightly so as to maximize the raid's performance.

As in any healthy guild we have more raiders than available raiding slots, so expect to sit on occasion. However, even though you may not be in the instance you can still earn DKP. As long as your main is at the zone or relatively close so you can zone in on a moment's notice and you stay in Mumble and/or stay in communication with the raid leader/council you are still eligible for receiving the same DKP that you would have earned if you were in the instance. However, YOU MUST BE READY TO RAID. If you are called upon to join the raid and are unable to do so without an adequate explanation you will be removed from the wait list and will earn no DKP for the night. We understand that you may not be able to raid on a given raid night, but by the same token don't expect to get free DKP.
