"Character progression and content experience are important considerations for many. However, for FR they are meaningless if you don't truly enjoy the company of those you share them with. Personality fit is our top concern and should be yours as well."

Guild Biography
Final Resolve was created by a group of officers of an Everquest club on Stromm server called Final Door. That guild was a very sucessful long-standing raiding club, once top of its server and in the top twenty server wide. The casual no mandatory attendance policies that were developed in FD followed into the creation of FR's charter. Our charter was designed for longevity. Final Resolve has been part of Vanguard's beginning and remains strong today!
Goals
Final Resolve is a large club with many members. Some like to raid, some prefer to slave over a hot forge or chat up an npc. FR supports all activities and while most of our members are at max level, we have players at lower levels and oplayers with many alts. (Can you say altitus!) Our goals are many. We focus on more end game content, but still will do events and lower level dungeon crawls for lower level players.
Regarding end game progression:
We are focused on PotA tiers, getting our members through T1 and beyond, including God Warrior quest and further into T2
Raiding nights are Wednesday, Friday and Sunday 8est till 11est. Friday is our progression night, where we work on our current targets. Wednesday and Sunday are more open raids where we will work on gearing and training newer raiders, do apw targets and other overlands. Allied members are welcome on the open raids. Sign up is recommended if you want to ensure you have a raid slot. ;)
Current Progression targets: We are currently working on Fengrot, Teraxes, Nimaa. We regularly take down other Overlands such as Guar, Physik, Belzane, Dresla, and Masuke.
Application Process
Our application process is by invitation. You can join Final Resolve by either knowing a member and being recommended and/or by expressing your interest to Valencia or Adarae and having a chat with them. An applicant should read our incredibly long but descriptive charter to be familiar with how we like to play , our rules, loot, etc., and to determine if we are the right club for you. Our charter is HERE.
After chatting with Adarae or Val you would be directed to our web site to post an application on our forums in the recruiting section. There is a stickied post with instructions how to do so, a short list of questions we like answered and directions how to register for access to the web site. An account with Guild Portal (our hosting site) is required to make any post and you may already have one from previous gaming.

RAIDING: We Raid Regularly
Our peak play time is from 4EST till 12 EST. Membership is mostly Canadian and American with a few Euros mixed in. The majority of our members are over 30 irl. And many of our officers are old veteran gamers over 40. We are an adult club. We do welcome all ages though, providing the player is *cough* relatively mature. A good attitude and respectful demeanor is required. Families are welcome, as long as your young-uns are supervised. Our chat is relatively tame other than adult banter. Couples are especially welcome as we have many in our club and we enjoy grouping with our spouses/sig others.
We tend to be selective about recruiting, as we are a more mature club and prefer to keep the drama quotient low. We are more interested in the person behind the character, not that knowing your class isn't important, but, we look for longevity so, we want the best fit for us. Ideally, the best fit for us is the player that is a veteran player from other games, with no axe to grind. We are concerned with progression but, it isn’t our total game focus. More important to us is to have fun along the way and do it on our own time. We want someone that has been there and done it all before, now they just want to play the game, explore content, and raid on a more casual basis. If you are the 'hardcore player', 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, you probably aren't for us.
We are open for recruiting. If you are a raiding type, we have some limitation to classes. If you are a class that we have many of, example: a tank class, you might have to wait or play an alt until your big moment arrives. ;)
If you are a lower level character, class doesn't matter and recruiting is open for all types. Crafters, & diplos are always welcome.
Our raids are typically the days listed unless our raid leaders have a RL commitment. If this happens then it can be scheduled on a different day. Typical raid events on off progression nights can include PotA chickens, Vi'Rak, any or a few levels in APW, or overlands. Final Resolve will also schedule Griffon events, either quest or upgrade raids on off days. We also do PotA events, access and trials. our Dungeon crawls are usually run on a Thursday night (schedule permitting) where we will do any level of dungeon. We either mentor down to join our lower level members or break out an alt. All of FR's events are posted on a calendar so you can plan your play time. Sign ups are a first come-first served basis, except for Progression night, where class balance is more critical.
Final Resolve has several alliances. And there are raiding opportunities with them. Alliance members attending other guild's raids have the same loot rights as member's. FR has an alliance with two guilds, Fury and Ex Umbris who offer day time activities. And an alliance with Special Blend that focuses on group only content. Our other alliance is with Sacred Haven who is a bit more advanced progression and they will often open their raids for invites. We do group content with them, PotA and Named runs. FR utilizes a a special chat channel where all our friends and allies will lurk. More grouping opportunities!

Raid Targets:
M = Mastered. We kill this target easily on the first attempt always.
K = Killed at least once, but not routine for us. Is still a tough challenge.
A = Attempting. We have not killed this target yet, but are making attempts regularly.
R = Retired. This target's loot table is deemed inferior compared to other raid targets drops. We rarely visit it.
