About us
Apex is an English speaking, high-end PvE raiding guild on Al'Akir,
Europe. We raid 20 player mythic. We formed in June 2007
during The Burning Crusade expansion, a few weeks after Black
Temple was released to public. This makes us one of the oldest
guilds still active.

Schedule
Our raiding schedule varies. Most players take vacations or days
off from work / school when new content is available. We raid every
day, do early starts and late night pushes. After a while we tone
it down and continue to raid every day, but only during evenings.
And when we're on farm status we barely raid at all - few hours to
clear all content with mains and/or alts.
Our "official" raiding times are:
19:00 to 23:00 CET on the working days;
16:00 to 23:00 CET on the weekends;
All members are expected to be able to attend raids at these
"official" times. If a player can't raid more than that - can't
participate in an early start or play until 5 in the morning - then
it's still ok. "Official" raiding times are mandatory, everything
else is a bonus.
Raiding
Raiding is mandatory. All members are expected to raid as much as
possible. Having alt(s) is strongly encouraged, we stack and minmax
our lineup based on the encounter. Players are rotated, we try to
keep favoritism somewhat low and offer everyone a shot. However, we
won't trade raid strength for fair rotation on a difficult progress
mode fight - stronger players will be preferred. We use loot
council for loot distribution. The guild also covers repair costs,
funds gems and enchants and some consumables for members.
The Recruit
A potential recruit has to be punctual and independent enough to
have a very high raid attendance. This is especially important for
progression raids. The recruit has to be competitive and always
trying to improve his game. We are looking for players who want to
deliver flawless performance and aren't content with being average.
It's also a huge plus if the player isn't afraid to talk and bring
his own ideas into the fight and can grasp the whole picture.
There is no specific gear requirement. We have recruited, attuned
and geared up several undergeared players in the past. But the
player has to convince us that he is going to be worth the
effort.
It's always worth sending in an application, even if your class is
not listed as needed. A good application may open up some new
possibilities.
