Forming Dragons of The Forgotten
The World of Warcraft guild Dragons of The Forgotten was created on June 15th, 2007. This guild was an original guild, but the name was comprived of a merger between the guilds The Forgotten and Dragons of the Phoenix.

The Forgotten was formed sometime around the beginning of 2006 which several members left their original guild because of management problems and just the total nasty atmosphere that the guild was founded upon. The members were happy with their guild, even though it was small and their ideas of becoming a bigger guild was in the minds and ideas of the guild leader and most of his followers. But, because their guild was small, big ideas were lost in the jumble of everday activity and mayhem.

Dragons of the Phoenix was formed in August of 2006, after a dramatic break of the guild Legion of Honor. The guild Legion of Honor did not totally fall apart, but many many members left and many more were kicked because of actions and moral and ethical problems experianced in guild chat and in private parties. Many of these members that were kicked or that left on their own joined Dragons of the Phoenix, but many left in hopes of joining up with other members that had left and had ultimately created another guild. That guild master (an ex Legion of Honor member) shorty relinquished control to an unrelated Legion of Honor member and now the guild is a happily functioning social guild that stands today.

In June or July of 2007 the guild leader of Dragons of the Phoenix (Riyeko and Elroc) began to look for prospective small guilds that would be willing to merge to make a bigger and better guild. After a fateful run through Blackrock Depths, Riyeko met the guild leader of The Forgotten, Latean. Like many say it was a match made in heaven. The guild leaders got together and discussed the possibility of a merger. Many meetings were held in both guilds discussing this possibility and after two major meetings with both guilds (one "emisary" from each guild attending to answer questions) the decision was made. The merger was on. Some of the members of The Forgotten were very hesitant and very doubtful that the guild merger was a good idea. Some wanted to come over to the newly formed guild Dragons of The Forgotten, but were hesistant about the people, the ethics, and just the main possiblity that the guild would fall apart like so many other merged guilds had done in the past. But after hearing nothing but good coming from the newly merged guild, they came on over and joined the officer ranks and are now happy with the outcome.

To this day the guild is prosperous and happy, doing guild runs through many instances and hoping to accomplish some 10 man raid content in game. The guild has grown from the small amount of 50 people to a whopping 97 people, and the guild is still looking for those that want to come over and experiance a family oriented guild enviornment.

Raiding and Instances
Dragons of The Forgotten is a family oriented guild and treats its members as such. Lower levels that need instances run are almost immediately accomodated and most everyone gets a helping hand now and then (gear, gold, personal advice and help in speccing your specific character). Many instances that are run on a weekly basis are Blackrock Depths, Coilfang: Slave Pens, Auchindoun: Shadow Labs, Dire Maul West or East, Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace, and many others I cannot name.

Our guild bank is also filled with a variety and plethora of items that are helpful to many people in our guild. They are there for the taking as long as you put something back or contribute to the guild (where much isnt required). There are lots of patterns, materials, reputation items, enchanting supplies, various primals, and many other items not listed here.

The Raiding scene for Dragons of The Forgotten is a little dim and borring, as we have not found the variety of types of characters needed for a full Karazhan run. We have many members who are Karazhan experianced and keyed, but we are lacking in the healer and off tank department. We've had many characters join to help out, but because we are not always on at said times, they have left in hopes for greener grass on the other side of the fence. Currently the guild is looking for main healers (holy paladins or priests) and off tanks which include feral druids, protection paladins, and protection warriors. If youre level 70 and youre ready for 10 man content, go ahead and give us a tell in game. We will be happy to have you along for the ride.

We are also looking to sign people up for practice runs for Molten Core. Yes its a low level raid instance, but we believe that if members of a raid are used to playing with each other in a raid situation, then everyone does better and is able to do their part all the more efficiantly.

Guild Rules and Regulations
Dragons of The Forgotten is not a strict guild and we do not have a bunch of gear or experiance requirements for you to have if you would like to join. There are however seperate rules for joining when it comes to the "social" part of the guild and the "raiding" part of the guild.

Social Rules
If youre joining for purely social reasons, these are the rules for you. 1. No cursing or 'dirty' talk in the guild chat. We have loosened this rule as of late stemming from a drama oriented incident. As long as you dont drop the F-bomb or insult someone using a curse word (such as "*said character* is such a shithead" is not allowed. Things like... "that ass, what a goofball" is allowed and therefore non punishable) you should be just fine. 2. No begging. We do not tolerate repeated questions about running you through this or that or asking repeatidly for gold when you have not earned it or have not been offered it. This gets annoying and is completely immature and is not tolerated. 3. Have fun and be responsable. This means that if you want to stay a Dragons of The Forgotten member, you must act as though you are one. This means that you must be respectable to other members and that you must treat others like you would want to be treated. No back talking, no disrespectful comments (this is included for the fact that derogatory comments may be made without curse words), no derogatory or racial slurs allowed either. We all respect one another and expect our guild members to do the same. We also have something of an Open Door Policy at Dragons of The Forgotten. For those of you who do not know what this means, here is the explanation: this means that if you have had a problem with a higher ranked member, or just another member of the guild, please come to either Riyeko or Latean for advice. If this matter can be solved (which most likely it can) we will sit down with both offending parties and discuss in a mature and orderly fashion how each member can benefit and produce a meaningful relationship with one another. We do not want our guild members bickering and fighting. Its just bad form.

Raid Rules
Raid rules are a bit different than the social rules. They are mostly the same with the first three rules listed above and the open door policy, but there is a level and a "slight" gear requirement. The level to become a raiding guild member can be no lower than level 65. This level will have no problems running through practice raid instances such as Molten Core or Zul'Gurub as these are our two main practice "arenas". This avoids problems with people being undergeared, under experianced and needing to be coached through the whole raid. You must have some raid experiance. This means that you do not have to have been in a raid before coming to Dragons of The Forgotten. You just need a good idea on how a raid is ran. Such as: Raid Leader makes all commands and everyone, including the guild leaders, bow down to his authority in a raid enviornment. Players that have a problem with not doing what the raid leader has asked must please either resort to just being quiet for the remainder and voicing your displeasure later (in a more mature fashion and enviornment such as the open door policy discussion), or do what you think is best. Gear requirements are not harsh, you do not need to be in full epics or full blues to pass the gear test. A few blues are required. Three blue piece of ARMOR, no trinkets, no necklaces or rings, weapons, offhand, idols or anything other than actual armor may be allowed under the gear requirement. IF you are in full "green" armor and you can beat our top lvl 70 character (which will be your class.. such as hunter vs. hunter, druid vs. druid, etc.) which will be in some epics and full blue gear, then you do not have to pass the armor requirement. The reason for the armor requirement is because the majority of green items are not up to par on the buffs, set bonuses, and equip effects of most blues and purples. This is the only reason and it is harsh in a way, but raiding is a serious business to those in the guild and must be taken as so.
