Who are We?

Peachy Keen is a competitive World of Warcraft raiding guild on US-Stormreaver. We are always striving to be the best and this is something we make sure our members understand. This has led to the guild being able to succeed in PVE and allows us to offer a structured, stable, and enjoyable environment to all our members.

Currently Peachy Keen is working towards becoming a top guild. You will always find our dedicated group of officers looking for ways to improve the guild and take it to the next level. One of the keys for us is to be able to offer a fun, friendly community-environment so that people can enjoy the game to its fullest while having one focus: to be the best and to do whatever it takes to achieve our goals.

Peachy Keen has a lot to offer to potential applicants. One of the strongest aspects of the guild is its leadership. Our guild is run by a group of highly motivated, competitive, talented, smart, and dedicated players who always go above and beyond for the guild and every member. They are the ones that provide the structure and the stability that allows raiding to be fun, smooth, and most importantly, efficient.

Another characteristic worth mentioning is player development. We dedicate a lot of our time to recruitment activities and to each applicant. Our core of players is not only looking to improve themselves, but the people around them. Many people get to raid with us because we notice their potential, and in Peachy Keen, they finally get that opportunity to grow as a player and take their game to the next level.

Last but not least, we want it to be fun. We think competition is fun. However, competing is only good when the right environment is provided. Our guild has great people that have a lot to offer. We work with all of our players in making sure they are enjoying their time in the guild, and ultimately, we make it our goal that our players can call Peachy Keen their home.

Our Principles

Peachy Keen is committed to create and maintain an environment of mutual trust and respect, where everyone feels responsible for the performance and reputation of our guild. We will recruit, employ and promote players on the sole basis of the qualifications and abilities needed for the work to be performed. We are committed to working with our players to develop and enhance each individual's skill and capabilities. We will maintain good and open communications with all members through all the mediums at our disposal such as social media, mobile technologies, Mumble, and of course in-game communication tools (proper use of gchat, whispers, in-game mail, and such).

Who Runs this Show?

The guild is run by one GM and a group of Officers. The GM position is rotated on a regular basis.

What are the Ranks and How do I get Promoted?

Trial

As a Trial, your abilities will be tested for a period of time (anywhere between two to four weeks). If we think you have what it takes to get a permanent raid spot, you will be promoted.

Alt

This rank is for our alts. All alts are welcome to join and to organize alt raid groups, as long as they don't interfere with official scheduled raids.

Friend

Members of this guild may invite their real-life friends to join under this rank.

Retired

This rank is for those who have been part of the guild for a long time, but can't continue to play on a regular basis.

Support Raider

The Support Raider is a member of the guild that can't attend to all our scheduled raids, but gets to participate in raids eventually. Should your schedule allow you to attend to all of our raids, you can be promoted to Raider.

Raider

This is the Raider rank. Players under this rank are required to show up to at least 90% of the raids. They participate in most progression raids (if not all). The guild provides repairs, enchants, gems, and more to players that have earned this rank.

Bank Raider

This rank is the same as the Raider rank. The only difference is that players with this rank have more access to the bank. However, you must have an authenticator attached to your account. This helps us reduce the chance of losing valuable items in the bank because someone was hacked.

Role Leader

One melee DPS, one ranged DPS, and one healer will have the Role Leader rank. These players assist the officers by organizing role assignments (such as interrupt rotations or healing cooldowns), observing player performance, attending applicant interviews, and having a say in loot distribution.

General

Officer rank. They are the leaders of this guild. If you have an idea or concern that needs to be addressed, please feel free to contact an officer.

President

Current Guild Master.

Code of Conduct

• Respect for all members and people outside of the guild
• Keep the guild informed about you
• Make use of the guild site and participate in it
• Have fun
• Avoid negativity
• For ideas, suggestions or concerns, you must contact an Officer.

Raids & Invites

Our Schedule
Tuesday – 7pm to 11:30pm ST
Wednesday – 7pm to 11:30pm ST
Thursday – 7pm to 11:30pm ST
Invites
Invites will go out at 6:45 PM. At this point you should be almost ready to raid. Members will be asked to send a whisper to receive an invite. The raid group will be sorted based on what will give the guild the highest chance of succeeding on progression.

What Expectations do You Have from your Raiders?

Our goal is to be at our very best for every raid and to compete with among the best in the nation and the world. In order to achieve this, we all have to take our game to the next level. Therefore, we set very high expectations for everyone who wants to raid with us.

• Be a role model
• Know the fights before coming to raid
• Be communicative
• Perform at your best
• Critically self-evaluate yourself
• Minimize downtime between attempts
• Learn from the mistakes of others, not just yours
• Bring a positive attitude to the raids

Attendance policy

We expect our raiders to be able to participate in almost 100% of our raids. However, if you can't make it to a raid you need to let the guild know by either making a forum post, or contacting an officer. It is understandable to miss a raid, but if this becomes a habit, the officers will take the proper actions. You may be removed from the guild due to your attendance.

How do You Handle Loot?

Our guild uses a Loot Council system to distribute the items. Loot is given to players based on different factors, including but not limited to: attendance, performance, attitude, recent loot, and current progression goals.

In a raid, the Master Looter will link an item in raid warning. You simply whisper 'need' if you need the item, or 'greed' if it is a minor upgrade, or if you want it for an off-spec.

How does the Guild Bank Work?

Goal

The goal of the guild bank is to assist guild members (non-initiates) with any of their crafting needs as it pertains to the overall success of the guild in PvE. This means that the bank may be used as a resource for making consumables, enchants, gems, gear, and/or help with repairs. The bank is designed to help the guild succeed in PvE content. Do not use the resources of the guild bank for your own personal gain. If you are caught doing this (and we can track deposits and withdrawals), you will be removed from the guild.

Resources

The bank has a decent stock of enchants, consumables, volatiles, herbs, ore, cloth, leather, and gems. The resources provided help reduce the need to farm materials or pay for them in the AH. A huge contributor for the abundance of supplies is through the generosity of fellow guild members. Please help us maintain a healthy supply of items by spending a little bit of time each week dedicated towards farming materials.

Using the Guild Bank

Guild members are welcome to use the resources in the guild bank at any time. Currently there is no "reward" for donating items to the bank, but it is HIGHLY encouraged to donate to make the guild bank operations more successful. If you donate to the bank, you are doing so out of the kindness of your heart with the purpose of helping out your guild and fellow guild mates succeed in content. That is why we stress that if you take from the bank, you also (please) give something of equal value back. For example, suppose you're a skinner/leatherworker and you need some volatiles to craft something. You take volatiles from the bank and in return you donate the mats to make a scrap bot or maybe a couple stacks of food, or even the gold for the volatiles taken out, etc. Also, if you're going to donate materials, make sure they are useful for our crafting needs (e.g. don't donate fish that are not used in feasts). Gold is an acceptable "trade," but we'd much rather get material donations to assist other crafters, engineers, alchemists, etc. with their needs, etc.

Shopping List

We're always looking for specific items to help us out with our raiding goals. To see what we need, please refer to the guild bank shopping list page (found here). This page is updated on an as needed basis.

Raid Drops

Any drops that get disenchanted, or any raw material items that drop in a raid (such as orbs) will be deposited into the guild bank at the end of the raid. We are also asking that any green BoE items that drop in raids (and that no one needs) be sent to the guild bank. We are using these BoE greens to help stock up on our supply of enchanting materials. If you are an enchanter, go ahead and DE those greens and send the enchanting mats to the bank.

Repairs

As a reward for raiding, part of your repair costs are covered by the guild bank on a daily basis, even on the days that we do not raid. The amount that is covered depends on your rank: the higher your rank, the more the bank will cover for repairs. On rare occasions, such as progression encounters, we may be able to temporarily increase the amount of repair coverage for all of the people in the raid at that time.

Monitoring

With the guild bank on the Armory, you can be sure that the inventory and gold of the bank are monitored by the entire guild. If you try to rip off the guild bank, you're ultimately trying to rip off every member of the guild, and that's not going to win you any popularity contests (ask Rupture). If you're uncertain how to use the guild bank, don't hesitate to ask a senior guild member -- or, better yet, a guild officer.
