Raid Rules

Due to high number of raiders, the admin group request that, rather than posting your friends codes here the following is tried for raid organisation:

1. The organiser sets a time in the raid chat.
2. Anyone able to send remote invites posts their IGN to the chat.
3. Folks wishing to have a remote invite should first add the organiser to their friends list using the friends code sheet available in the group description
4. After adding friend (if needed) request an invite in the chat (or preferably by PM).
