Storming Kil'jaeden



For a while now, many of you who frequent our guild ventrilo know by now that I have been considering transferring Perpetual over to Horde side.  The only thing holding me back was our two raid teams and being concerned with letting them down.  However, the consistent absences every raid night and the constant dropping of raid teams and wanting back in has proved a challenge to our progression.  Always having to pug every raid night or having to combine both raid teams has been prevalent for over two months now.  When we got the guild together one night a couple months ago the whole point of weeding out the inconsistent raiders was to prevent these issues and focus on progression.  The two raid progression raid teams we created were supposed to be a solution yet we're facing the same issues again.

I have decided to bring Perpetual over to Horde side on Kil'jaeden server.  It is a Pacific time player versus player server (58 Horde to 42 Alliance ratio) and is ranked 22 in server raid progression according to guildox.com.  I figured a change of scenery and better raiding racials would be a nice move in getting over our raid team slump.  As I mentioned, the only thing holding me back was letting people down in the raid teams, but these last two months I am not convinced that everyone on our raid teams has been honoring their commitments.  By being consistently absent you are forcing your team to spend time pugging with people who's play styles we aren't accustomed to, and this has been happening every raid night for both raid teams this past two months.  I don't know what else to do; I've already told everyone repeatedly what was to be expected.

 Getting Help with Character Tranfers

I understand that having to transfer a character over will be quite expensive ($55 for both server transfer and faction change to Horde), so I and a couple of the officers have volunteered to help fund at least one character transfer per person (primarily through Paypal).  This assistance is available to both officers and non-officers alike, so long as you are someone that has been consistent with raids or with the guild.  You will have to ask yourself if you really have been a consistent raider with us.  Also, if you are one of the guildies who will be needing assistance in transferring your character over, we will keep it strictly private –– we will not tell anyone who we help pay transfers for.  If you think you could pay for half of your transfer but would like a bit of help paying for the other half, we could do that as well through Paypal.  For instance, you could pay for the server transfer and one of us could help by funding the faction change, that works as well.

Should you decide to follow us over to Kil'jaeden, here are some tips to consider:
  • The total cost (for a server transfer and a faction change) is $55 per character. 
  • If you'd like, it would be cheaper to move a character that you already have as Horde.
  • Be sure if to bring everything you want/need such as heirloom gear or trade materials to get your gold earning started on the new server by mailing them to the character you wish to bring to Kil'jaeden.
  • Make sure you do the guild transfer option when signed into your Battlenet account that way when you transfer to Kil'jaeden you keep your Exalted status with Perpetual.
  • Only 50K gold could be transferred per level 90 character.
  • Keep in mind what professions you will be bringing over. So far we don't have any maxed inscriptionists, skinners, leather workers, enchanters or engineers.
We hope to see you there.  Should you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the officers or by contacting me through email, the guild community website or ventrilo.

Offer me your sword and spells, and I shall bring you victory.  Offer your companionship, and I shall give you loyalty.  Offer your service, and together we shall gain honour. We are Perpetual.

Respectfully,
Chris, Mira and Tides
