All Together Now is a guild of primarily casual players; our core membership is composed of real life friends and family.  We all play for fun; this is not a business, it is not work, it is not a sporting event.  It is what we do to relax and to enjoy sharing an activity with our friends.  We are comfortable with folks who are enjoying experiencing and learning the content; we are fine with folks who make mistakes.  No one gets yelled at because they face-pulled the spiders one too many times.  Stuff like that just helps keep things interesting – and gives us something to laugh about.

All that said, we’ve demonstrated time and time again to be very good at moving right on through new content.  Many of our players are quite experienced, and some were previously in raiding guilds that were very serious.  Even our inexperienced folks are good at reading up on fights in advance as well as listening to the raid leaders.  We have smooth, organized runs.  This has meant that we’ve one shot bosses even when most of the folks in the runs were under-geared.

We’ve got all of the typical "real guild stuff" – a fully tabbed bank (plus an off-bank with 6 tabs (the BOB guild)), a tabard, the guild site (obviously) – as well as having assigned guild bank managers, skilled crafters at the top of the abilities, and active officers.  All our members are helpful and supportive of each other, frequently helping with runs, gear, or leveling up the random alt.

Our only requirements on our members, new or existing, are friendliness, respect, and good humor.

If you ever need to contact an officer of ATN for anything at all, please feel free!  They can be messaged through the website or contacted in game.

Noltshar (and his many alts!) is our mighty leader and an all around great guy.  Liselasong is the beautiful bank guru and co-guild leader.  The other officers are Gwennovak, Tyma, Henchick, Greg, Didymus, Xenorio (all who help with planning and running raids) plus Cathriara, Xaxania, Aevisana, and Domilline.

Thanks for the interest in All Together Now!  For those folks who have joined us on the occasional raid, we've opened our site so that you can join and be part of our chitchat forums and to see our scheduling and such, welcome!  For those interested in joining our little guild, welcome!

In order to sign up for the site and/or get a guild invite, please look at the top left of the page; underneath the log on fields, you should see "apply".  Clicking that will take you to a quick sign up screen where you can set up a username and password for our website, and answer a couple of questions for us.

• It's best to choose your main toon's name for your username, so it's easier to know who's who on the forums.
• Signing up for the website, even though the link says "Apply" does not mean, necessarily, that you are applying to be in our guild.  You'll be approved to the website access within a day or two after doing that sign up, then can log on and jump right in.
• If you *do* want to apply for our guild, however, there's a question there in the sign up for just that purpose, to let the officers know you're interested.  You'll still get the website access within a day or two, then an officer will be hunting you down and interrogating...er, I mean, looking you up to chat a bit about joining ATN.
• There is a forum for introductions, the Who Are You? forum, and it's highly encouraged that interested folks and friends who may be coming along on runs to give us a little intro there! 

Once you're signed up, you will have access to our open forums and to our Calendar.  There is a Scheduling Foo forum for getting together in game for instance runs, heroics, rep grinding, that kind of thing as well as a separate Raid Scheduling forum under Raiding for sussing out raid schedules.

Our calendar will list planned raids, and you can click on an event link to sign up for the event.  All the times on the calendar are server time.  Because we do have a fair number of players who are raiding, but just not always on at the same time, we are usually looking to fill a spot or three on our raids.  However, Guild Members will always have priority on raid spots in the event that more than 10 people sign up.

You can check back on the calendar close to the raid date (usually one day before) to see if your sign up is Approved or Reserved.  Approved sign ups will have guaranteed spots, Reserve sign ups will be "on the list" for spots if someone has to drop out.  If you do sign up and are approved, please be ready for the raid invites about 10 minutes before the raid start time. 

Because of the recent changes with the patch and people wanting heroics, and because hey, we have lives and stuff...things may not always be perfectly organized and follow a set schedule; raids may be scheduled and not happen, raids may not be scheduled on the site but happen because tons of people are on and have some time, raids may be scheduled but scrapped to run heroics instead...that kind of thing.  We ask that everyone just be patient and chill when things change.  But, we do always try to do our best to keep the scheduled runs on time and running, for everyone's planning convenience!
