IMPORTANT
REGISTER WITH YOUR IN-GAME NAME.

Current Class Openings
Please see main website page.

We review and consider all applications, but the classes mentioned on the front page are currently our top priority.

Our Policies and Goals
Death Monkey is a mature, highly competitive, team-oriented group of players. We were formerly the raiding portion of Blood Oath of Bleeding Hollow. We are an end-game raiding guild with high expectations of our PVE performance and of our members. We strive to be a competitive guild while still upholding a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Player Age and Maturity
Maturity is a HUGE factor. We do not recruit people under the age of 18. The majority of the guild is 20+ and we intend to keep it that way.

Attitude and Atmosphere
The guild/raid atmosphere is highly important to us and we will protect it fiercely. This means no immature / greedy / disrespectful people will be allowed in. If they happen to slip in, they will get the savage arse-boot. We look for character first and will go to every length to ensure that we recruit quality people. The officers reserve the right to eject anyone from the guild for violating conduct/respect rules at any given time.

Ninja Looting Policy
Death Monkey upholds a zero tolerance policy on ninja looting in any part of the game. The punishment for ninja looting is an immediate, irreversible /gkick. Any unintentional or accidental looting will undergo a review by the officers. If you have a poor reputation because you are a known ninja, do not bother applying. You will not be accepted.

Desired Qualities
We are looking for people who can raid consistently and effectively. Our members all share the same goal of striving to be at the top of their game in terms of PVE. To that end, our raiders should display the following qualities:

* Listens at all times in the raid.
* Knows his/her class, and knows how to follow instructions.
* Is coachable (i.e. is not offended when other members offer advice).
* Maintains a professional raiding attitude during the raid.

Post-Application Process <<
Trial Member Phase
Full Member Phase
Contact Information

Reviewing Your App
Submitting an application does NOT mean you are in consideration. All applications must be reviewed before we can make any decisions, which generally takes a minimum of one week. If you are not contacted in a week, you may contact a guild administrator and inquire about your application. Be aware that there is a constant influx of applications and it is very possible that we have not fully reviewed your application even after a full week has passed.

Wait One Week!
ALWAYS wait one week before inquiring about your application. Annoying, pestering, or otherwise harassing any member of Death Monkey about your application (especially before the one-week mark) will result in your application being denied. It is your responsibility to remember the date you applied, and when you are allowed to ask us about it. If you want us to take you seriously, you need to respect our rules!

Also, DO NOT ASK ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION WHILE WE ARE IN MID RAID. We will not respond, as we have a raid to run. Take note of our raid times and contact us outside of those time frames if it is after the 1 week review.

Meetings and Interviews
If we contact you about your application, you will most likely be subjected to several meetings, interviews, and conversations with various DM members (generally on our Ventrilo server, or in-game). Expect lots of questions, and be honest in your answers.

Raiding With Us
After we decide you may be a potential recruit, we will invite you to join some of our raids. Bring your A-game.. we'll be watching you! Members of your class will be evaluating your performance and reporting back to the officers (who are also paying close attention.. no pressure!).

If we like what we see after a few raids, you may be asked to join DM as a Trial Member.

Applying to Death Monkey
Post-Application Process
Trial Member Phase <<
Full Member Phase
Contact Information

For the Trial phase, the applicant is guild-invited. The applicant must attend between 8-18 raids (varies from applicant to applicant) before we will consider full membership. Applicants who do not "make the cut" will be removed from the guild. Depending on the reason for removal, we may ask the applicant to apply again at a later date when the issue no longer exists (one possible reason would be a schedule conflict). If we do not specifically ask you to reapply, please don't submit another application.

Knowledge and Preparation
Applicants and trials are expected to be fully prepared to do any fight we have done previously. This means having consumables, specialized gear sets, and offspecs ready as necessary and knowledge of the fight from watching videos, reading strategies, ect.

EP Earning
Trial members will earn the full amount of EP for participating in our raids.

Loot Rights
Trial members should not expect to receive any loot. Our loot drop priority is Full Member > Trial Member > Applicant. Possible exceptions due to side grades and offspec pieces will be handled on a case by case basis.

Guild Interaction
Applicants are expected and encouraged to participate in discussion and conversation with our members. However, please keep in mind that being annoying, overly talkative, or a know-it-all is a turn-off (i.e. we don't really need the new guy telling us every detail about how his old guild does MC bosses and by the way we should do it that way too).

Raid Priority
Trial members are secondary to full members in the event that we have more than 25 online for a raid. There is the possibility of being asked to sit out or leave a raid so that a full member may take the spot.

Required Addons
We only require (at the very least) these two addons:
EPGP Lootmaster
(It helps expedite the looting process)

Deus Vox Encounters (DXE)
(It's a DBM-like addon, but we find it much better in its ability to be customized and easily edited to reflect changes in encounters)
