Guild ranks..

LOSTies is a casual, social raiding guild and we have implemented a simple ranking scheme consisting of six ranks. The first five ranks are determined not only by player level, but by achieving special LOSTies achievements as well. These unique achievements are designed to test an individual's determination, strength, and loyalty to the guild. Aside from the first five ranks, there exists a sixth superior officer rank (Oceanic 6) bestowed upon guildies who have gone above and beyond that of their normal duty, and have proven themselves to be mature, friendly, respectful, and capable of leadership. Keep in mind, an officer status is earned, and never to be easily achieved. One must not take for granted the influential power they hold. As of now, LOSTies is still recruiting new comrades willing to forge their weapons and ready their spells alongside us as we muster our prowess against the might of the Horde. Remember, the success of our guild relies on our collaborated efforts as a whole. Together, let us make our guild known across all of Kalecgos server!

Listed below are the first five ranks, in order from lowest to highest:

Flight 815, Survivor, Kahana, DHARMA Crew, the Others.

Read on for a more precise breakdown of all the ranks:


1) Flight 815 (all new guild members, regardless of level)

You are a passenger on Flight 815. You boarded your plane, seemingly bound for home, work, vacation, heck, even prison or the cemetery. Who knows? You were invited to the guild and now you must endure this transitory flight of cloaked destiny. The passengers aboard Flight 815 on the show sat side-by-side, no matter what paths in life they walked...So shall you. No matter what level you are, board your flight and await your tumultuous crash into that which destiny wills you. Stay in the guild for 48 hours, equip our guild tabard, participate in guild conversations, events, and runs. Prove yourself worthy of a right in entry into LOSTies, and you shall arise with a new life as an official member of LOSTies, truly a Survivor!

2) Survivor (levels 1 - 20)

You live! You're a Survivor. Rise up, amongst the wreckage, sand and flames! A bit more unfortunate and landed out in the shark infested, crystalline waters? Then make your way through the floating debris, never mind the dangerous sea creatures or the floating material wealth that would have mattered back at home, just get to the Island in one piece! Find others who share in your severe loss and dilapidated state, band together and overcome the harsh introduction delivered unto you, compliments of the ominous and yet alluring island. In order to proceed to the next rank, you must fulfill the following: (1) Brave the Deadmines and earn its achievement, (2) Choose two professions in order to scratch a living out of the Island and support yourself, which leads to the next objective, (3) Buy yourself a mount! (you'll need it for inter-DHARMA station travel, not to mention questing), and finally, (5) Reach level 21! In real life, that means all the Heineken and Jack Daniel's your gluttonous thirst desires...Complete all these objectives and move forward as one of the Kahana!

3) Kahana (levels 21 - 40)

As a Survivor, you've learned to flourish on the Island in a group setting. However, merely surviving isn't enough. You are now one of the Kahana! You are a fierce mercenary and must accomplish many arduous tasks. First, you must overcome your group differences and avert any hostilities from within. Upon achieving an equanimity amongst your peers, you must break away from those you hold dear and partake in a solitary quest. A mercenary at nature, you do all the dirty work that would drive others into dismay. Venture forth and discover your own potential, your self-worth. Seek out the Hatch, engage in combat with deadly, misplaced polar bears, and track down the origin of the strange distress call in order to rescue the crazed damsel in distress. Many other dangers await you. In order to proceed to the next rank, you must complete the following: (1) Subdue the overthrown kingdom of Gnomeregan and earn its achievement, (2) Bring 10 coarse dynamite to a guild captain to aid in the blasting of the Hatch, (3) Bring 40 wool bandages to a guild officer to aid in the mending of any comrades injured during the detonation of the Hatch, (4) Bring 10 chunks of bear meat to guild officer and prove your polar bear slaying, and finally, (5) Reach level 41! Reveal your potential by completing these tasks and you will soon be enlisted into the DHARMA Crew!

4) DHARMA Crew (levels 41 - 60)

Wrangling with polar bears in a jungle laden with the deadliest of booby traps have made you stronger, distinguishing yourself from the lesser crust of the guild echelons. You are now a member of the DHARMA Crew! On the show LOST, the DHARMA Initiative was a secretive enterprise, a scientific measure against the confirmed date when humanity extinguishes itself. That is exactly what you are; you are a clandestine enterprise whose joint efforts have already started to stir fear amongst the Horde. It was the DHARMA Initiative that discovered the foreboding Valenzetti Equation:

4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

The DHARMA Initative used innovative technology to harness the greatest energy in the world found on the Island, and built several state-of-the-art stations scattered throughout the Island to keep that power in check, and ultimately, to save the world from it's own destruction. As one of the DHARMA Crew, you must follow in their path. In order to proceed to the next rank, you must attain the following: (1) Seek out the most powerful energy in all of Azeroth; once you are in Blackrock Depths, announce to the guild that you are in "the heart of the mountain", (2) Discover the secret behind the Valenzetti Equation by presenting to a guild officer: 4 sharp claws, 8 elemental water, 15 flasks of mojo, 16 savage fronds, 23 fireworks (any color), and 42 silk cloth, (3) Delve into the Sunken Temple and earn it's achievement, (4) Obtain your epic land mount and Journeyman riding, and finally, (5) Reach level 61! Tackle this list and you will finally gain entry into the upper crust as one of the Others!

5) the Others (levels 61 - 80)
