There are several guilds that invite non-members to join their raids. If you're interested, you might try raiding with some of them. These guilds mostly go after gods in PoP, but also other big mobs sometimes. I'm going to list the times in pacific time, it would be 2 hours later central or 3 hours later eastern time. Keep in mind you need to show up before the listed time, preferrably half an hour early.

Information can be found on their websites, and some of them also shout in PoK or in the General channel when a raid is starting.

KOF raids tues/thurs/sun at 6:30. Channel kofguest, doing various PoP flags.
Exemplar raids tues/thurs/fri at 4:30 or 5 (an hour later on friday). Channel exraid. Mostly in elementals now, but not always.
MV only sometimes invites non-members, usually thurs or fri at 4:30. Channel mvalt.
MI raids weds/sun at 7pm. Channel miraid.
COP raids tues/weds/thurs/fri/sat at 9. Channel copraid. Mostly in elemental planes.

Hand of Chaos and Praxium don't have open raids, but we are invited to join them. Mon/weds at 5, and also sat/sun morning, starting somewhere between 10am and 12 noon. There are different channels, chpbuffplus seems to be the main one. Also channel fokor and channel allchat (needs a password).

Here's some posts I've seen lately:

================
Knights of Freedom will be running several open planar flagging raids over the summer, and would like to invite members of Exemplar that need these flags, or otherwise wish to hang out with us, to join us. The first in the series will be held on Friday June 17th starting at 7pm PST (10pm EST). Target to be determined based on availability. Please see the link below for more information.

Knights of Freedom will lead several open raids on Planes of Power targets over the summer. Our intent for these will be to flag our members and recruits. If you would like to join these raids for flags or just for fun, and are not a member or recruit of KoF, the channel will be "kofguest," and we will invite as many people needing the flag as we can.

I expect we will only use this channel on nights with open raids. Our primary targets will consist of:
Agnarr
Bertoxxulous
Carprin
Lord Mithaniel Marr
Manaetic Behemoth
Rallos Zek
Rydda`Dar
Sarynn
Solusek Ro
Terris Thule
Maybe a few others too.


If none of those targets are available, the raid will likely be postponed. If you would like to join us please send a tell to Salamine or Cueiena, and/or join kofguest. Please drop anon or roleplaying while in channel. Loot on open raids will be CaWU for all that attend. The real loot is the flags.

This is copied from the Raid Council discussion thread and is subject to change but since I get sooooo many tells about what our plans are and targets we are hitting this should help you understand the direction, even if not the specific targets for any given night. Also understand that we do listen to the boards and watch the threads, so we may deviate based on strength and need.

Sorry about the first entry. My fingers don't always go where they should.

It was a great pleasure for me to visit and enjoy your site. Keep it running!

Since this thread has become a haven for the URL dumpers, I'm going to put a lock on it if you guys don't mind, it seems they target this thread more than any other.
