4.  Raid with us.  You are welcome to Guest Raid with us.  Raid times and days are posted on the main page at www.ethereal-kindred.com.

5.  If it looks like you’ll be a good fit with EK, we’ll give you a provisional tag.  You will be tagged as a recruit for approximately three weeks.  See the DKP and Loot Policy (on the forums) for details on earning and spending DKP during your probationary period (fyi you will need to be registered on our forums to read it).

6. After being tagged for approximately three weeks, you will be voted on by our members.  At that time, you will either be made a full member, be given an extended trial period, or be removed from the guild depending on how the vote goes.  Extended trials are not necessarily a bad thing.  Most of the time it means that the guild members just have not had enough of a chance to get to know you.  Try to raid with and group with as many guild members as possible during your app period.
