What is Novus Initium?
Novus Initium is a raiding guild that is selective in both
recruitment and whom is retained, discriminating on a player's
ability and their chemistry with the guild as a whole. We are a
team-first guild and all members are required to uphold that
ideal.
Raiding Schedule
Currently the official raiding days are:
Sunday 7:15-10:15CST
Monday 7:15-10:15CST
Thursday 7:15-10:15CST
What is expected of me?
Above all, we strive for adult-minded, intelligent players who
enjoy camaraderie and friendship. We expect you to be functionally
sociable, friendly, easy-going and respectful of others.
You must be excited about raiding and progressing into the content.
You must be typically available for our raid times, and attend as
frequently as you are able. There are 3 official raid times per
week. Alt runs and achievement runs, etc., are often scheduled as
well, but these are not required attendance.
You are welcome to have your alts in the guild, but we ask you pick
your favorite character for end game raiding and put the majority
of your effort into improving that character. You will be expected
to only bring your main to an "official" raid except under
extenuating circumstances.
Regarding drama... if you have a problem with someone, talk to that
person one on one and work it out like two adults. If that doesn't
work, consult with an officer and if that still doesn't help,
consult with the GM. Just be advised that we feel drama is a real
guild-killer. If your problems get to this point, you're probably
bringing more drama into the guild than you're worth and one or
both of you will likely be removed from the guild. We have to look
out for the needs of the many.
You must commit to become a good ambassador for the guild. That
means you should refrain from acting in a manner that would
embarrass us or yourself, blatantly antagonizing or offending your
fellow WoW players or other anti-social behavior in trade chat,
Pugs or any other interaction with the Kul Tiras population. For a
guild to be healthy new players must be recruited from time to
time, and having a good reputation on the server is paramount to
success in these endeavors.
Participation on the forums is mandatory for all raiding members of
the guild. You are required to log in at least weekly to read up on
guild happenings and to post your status should you be unavailable
for official raids. Lurking is fine if you do not have anything to
contribute, but your suggestions, opinions and humor will always be
welcomed. Failure to check the forums regularly may lead to
demotion or being moved to the bottom of the loot list.
We have our needs and preferences with regard to recruitment, but
if you are an exceptional player of any class/spec, don't hesitate
to go ahead and apply even if your specific role is not listed. Our
members are very gracious with maintaining off-specs and we can
almost always accommodate any role.
