We have another raid group, which has cleared T6-8 several times now, and made some very minimal progress on T9. I won't give many excuses for this, but we're looking to get some real practice in soon. Members from this group will be willing to assist the second group in learning the new turns if necessary, but we'd like for the group to be able to walk on their own - there's no point in forming a static if they need to PUG from another group to get a clear.

Anyway, to the plug.
We're eally looking to expand. Our FC is rather inactive except for our main raid group and a few other people; we would love any players who could come and help keep people entertained. The majority of our players don't have much content to do in-game anymore, being on second coil and having cleared pretty much everything else. So people who are in the process of gearing to get ready for second coil or even T5 are a great boon; we would love to help these people out and welcome you openly. We also are looking for serious raiders; but the majority of the FC is inexperienced with second coil beyond our main raid group and some fill-ins, so I appreciate if you understand that. Mostly, we just want people who will be able to play with us. We also very open to 'training' people - teaching you the ropes of your class and helping you become skilled enough at endgame content that you can whine about other people when you wipe, know for sure it wasn't your fault. We are definitely willing to help people through T5 and beyond.

We're rank 5 right now, hopefully we'll be rank 6 soon. We more or less have enough money for a mansion; we polled internally before and decided on a Gridania house, but this is completely negotiable. We will most likely go over the plot once more after we've hit rank six and can buy our land. Our FC has several crafters, although we are short on gatherers (mostly BTN and FSH), and we attempt to be as self-sufficient as possible.

I will likely edit this post later to make the plug more attractive, but I'll just say this once more: ultimately, we're looking to have fun! If this somehow worked, feel free to send an application to the FC or send a tell to one of the following people - particularly if you need more details I may have missed:
