GUILD CLOSED - WE ARE NOT RECRUITING
Hello applicants and welcome to the Knights Of Shadow (Cabal Online EU Branch) recruitment section
Thank you for your interest in Knights of Shadow. Please read the contents of this post carefully if you are an applicant. Failure to follow a simple application format answering what we asked will result in immediate denial of your application.
We will recruit players level 160+ (unless I’m in good mood and you impress me enough to make an exception) If you have started an application below please keep your thread updated with your progress. If you are not yet above this level please still feel free to apply and try to keep us updated as to your progress.
KoS is one of the oldest guilds in Cabal and has been around in many MMOs for a long time. We intend to keep it that way. We are not a revolving door and we have always stuck together as a team where ever we go.
Whilst your application is in please try to join us on guild hunts and get into TS with us. Joining KoS Guild hunts as applicant means you wont get any share of the loot or any items. You will be offered a dungeon entry item and/or any buff potions that may be required for that run but even if you choose to use your own do not expect any gains from this. You are there to prove yourself not to make alz.
The most important thing about your application is persistence. We want to see that you really want to be a part of this guild and not just some person who applies and never checks back again. Think of your application as a gaming blog. Blog even if no one replies to your posts; show us your commitment and we will respond when we see it. Check back often and add replies to your application such as what you did in game, the people you've met, as well as your leveling progress.
We will favor the more hardcore and determined of applicants. Realize that bumping your post with one liners does not count as blogging. While we won't be editing the apps too much to remove this spam, realize that we aren't fooled by your thread's lack of content. While we are relaxed and easy going in demeanor, our gaming is nothing but hardcore.
We won't look into applications with only a few replies. Please try to include screenshots when you're updating your application. Most applications are expected to run at least a week (that’s MINIMUM ONE WEEK). We are not some fly by night guild that adds people because they are impatient. If you don't intend to give it your best, then don't apply.
KoS is a PVP and then PVE oriented Guild in Cabal Online. Our goal is to be and remain competitive in End game content while building a solid group of players within our community. Our priorities are to hunt together in FT2/TG/CA, the bosses in the game, and of course PvP/GvG. We believe in having a strong community that we want to build to last and stay together for years and not just to recruit high lvl players that will move to the next guild on the list as soon as they stop getting whatever it is they want for themselves only.
I would like to remind all that we LOVE PVP - there will be confrontation (we don't look for it as such - but it always finds us), you will be expected to show up if we call to arms.
If you want to do well in KoS, it is strongly recommended to be someone who has self motivation, self sufficiency and discipline. We try to help each other out, but we expect everyone to pull their weight and then some. If you are looking to join KoS just to make Alz, think again. KoS will not hold your hand to help you level and get rich; you either become a useful contributor, or you filter yourself out.
If you have issues thinking for yourself, find simple things difficult to understand, trip whenever you try to run out of "the shit" or faint whenever you are asked to use your brain then do not apply. Do not apply if you cannot be consistent like getting burnt out after two months of playing. We are looking for players who want to be here in the long run.
Respect and Maturity - You have an issue, take it to PMs and resolve it. Disrespecting guild mates will get you kicked period. You should be calm and mature. If you do not get your way, don't throw a fit. Do not fill our TS and guild chat with loud obnoxious comments. Disruption of the guild and dungeon groups will not be tolerated.
A need to Succeed - We are determined to win and progress and will go to any length to achieve this and you must be willing to do the same. Our team is only as strong as each individual playing together. If one does not want it as bad as the others we are destined to fail as a guild and a team. Our tag to us represents years of success and greatness and it should be the same to you. You must be committed and intend to play with us for months to years until we decide to move to another game. We will not be a revolving doorway.
Criticism - You must be able to tolerate what can be harsh criticism. You need to be able to shrug off being told that you fucking sucked. MMOs can be a high stress environment with a lot of pressure. You must be able to take it and get better, correcting any issues. Great game play and success are always rewarded.
Focus - You must be able to pay attention for long periods of time. If we are giving out assignments or a strategy and you are watching TV or simply not listening, it is a recipe for disaster. You must be able to ask questions when needed and understand your role. You MUST research strategies and fight details and be able to relay that info to others. E.g. If we have been doing a certain dungeon two or three times and the boss shoots Balls out his ass that you should kill, you should not be asking, what is the name of the Balls or what do I do to them.
Communication -You must speak and understand English. Starting with your application you must impress in your ability to communicate to and with us.
Improving Your Gear - You must have above average items available and you must be constantly improving and upgrading your gear. Not doing so will setback the group. Slackers will not be tolerated. You must be able to help yourself and we in turn help you which in turn helps us progress together. You should be in it for the GUILD not the loot. As you see loot will come and go.
WARNING: Every member is expected to place the guild first. You will often put more into the guild than you take out. This is not a free ride of any sort, so if you have problems with contributing to the guild then this is not the guild for you!
Know your Class - You must know your class inside out and understand different combos, battle modes and buffs and why some things are more useful than others. For Example: when a WA should cancel Bloody or how a wiz can make that same WA use bloody on one more boss before Cat and Bear are ready.
Ability - We want to be the best so you must want to be the best. If you cannot be competitive for your class or role then we do not want you. By now you should be amazing in your game play.
Trials - We will go over your application and if we like what we see, you will be tagged and put on trial with us. Trials can last 1 week to 1 month depending on your game play. If you are amazing needless to say you are in the first week. If after a month you still do not understand the concept of not standing in shit you will be removed.
If we like what we see from your performance but you have not proven yourself trustworthy yet your trial may be extended before we give you access to the guild stores.
From time to time we will perform housekeeping on the guild where we will remove inactive players in order to make space for the currently active people. This is not necessarily a kick from the guild in most cases, and you can be re-added if you start actively playing again. The same can happen to forum access, though we usually give more leeway here. The best way to not get removed is to notify us of any absence via the forums. You may be kicked at any time should you become too greedy or decide that your needs are more important than the needs of the guild; this holds true for new and old members alike.
Lastly we will contact you, do not contact us.
Your application will be denied unless it is well-written.
