Welcome to The Mark of the Beast homepage.

This is the Website for the Draenor (previously Terenas) Horde Guild Mark of the Beast.

We are an established guild that has been raiding since 2007!

If this is your first visit please feel free to browse our website.

If you are considering applying to Mark of the Beast please check to see if your class is currently open by looking on the recruitment table on the right. If you wish to apply please use the Recruitment Poster found in the Recruitment Tab in the panel above. Please keep in mind you can never give too much information in an application!!

If you have any trouble using this then contact some one in game.

It will normally take up to 3 days for an application to be processed.  If you are unsuccessful due to recruitment for your class or role being closed we would like to keep you on file and may approach you at a later date.

You can review our raid progress by mousing over the purple bars to the left.

We will be planning and scheduling achievements and will assign the management of guild achievements to an officer.


We raid for fun!

Good Luck with your gaming!

Grand Master: Guild Leader

Seneschal: Guild Leader's Second in Command

Marshall: Class Leader & General Officer

Under Marshall: Officer alts (their main will be written in the public note)

Province Master: Profession Masters (will receive Guild Resources to receive recipes)

Standard Bearer: Regular member

Draper: Regular member alt

Knight: Probationary member

Ambassador:  Social Member

If you become an Ambassador your DKP will be wiped clean. You will only be able to gain loot from a raid if no one else has a need or an off spec request. You will not lose your guild membership from not attending raids however if you don't log on for 2 weeks, without a no show post on the form, you will be removed from guild. Free mats from the Guild Bank will not be available to this rank.

Basic Rules

During a raid you will be expected to join the relevant channel to your class this keeps /ra chat to a minimum to enable the raid leader to conduct his job more efficiently. A class leader is also there to assist and advise you with talents and loot. If there is a problem in a raid the raid leader will take up the issue with the relevant class leader then he or she will deal with the offending party in their own channel not in /ra or /g (this saves the “I’m a mage and I know about healers” type arguments which may or may not be true but generally irritates). Class leaders will also have access to the guild bank and will provide you with raid consumables.

Recruitment

New members on probation will have a 3 week trial and at the end will require an 80% Raid Attendance.

Whilst on probation you will earn DKP and you will be allowed to bid on items but you will not necessarily be awarded the item over a full member.  This will only be done at the discretion of the Guild Leader.

DKP is account based not character based.

If you sign up for a raid and don’t attend with out informing any one you can be penalised up to 20% of your total DKP (ofc if your leg fell off or some other serious issue occurred this can be waved by a Marshall)

Please check the DKP policy page for more information.

There is a cap placed on recruitment we will not have more than 60 members at any one time (this does not include alts). Wives or husbands get automatic entry no matter there level or skill however we would like to discourage siblings as this can sometimes be difficult for other members to deal with.

The age limit is 18

Because of the small guild size and the fact that we want to progress in this game we need active players to make it happen. You will be required to maintain an attendance level of 66% over a 4 week period.  If you do not meet this target you will lose your raid spot.  The only exception to this is if you have made a no show request via the forum (though it should be noted you can only be absent for a maximum of 2 weeks before being demoted to social rank and losing your raid spot).

Teamspeak IS a requirement.  You don’t need to have a mic but you need to be able to hear & more importantly LISTEN.

Their crafting skills will be 100% available to everyone in guild (rank permitting) and they will craft the item free of charge if the mats are available (and again rank permitting). Province masters have access to the Guild Bank so members may ask them to retrieve items for them.  It is entirely at the discretion of the province master if they wish to comply with this.  They have the right to refuse in which case the member should speak to an officer who will decide if they can have the item in question.
