You aren't going to get actual casual raiding on P1999. The game environment, with its lack of instancing, is not friendly to guilds that want to operate on a fixed schedule of their own making. If you want to do more than the low-end raids, the best you can do is join guilds that tolerate casual players.....which frankly is most of them because few guilds have the luxury of being overly choosy.
At the middle tier, there are guilds like Kittens, Paradigm Shift, Anonymous, Blood Guard, Second Sons, and others....all of which are pretty much exactly the same as each other except for the names. They want their pixels, they use DKP loot, etc...you might call them semi-casual if you're feeling generous. At the top tier you have Aftermath and Tempest, which are both basically pointless for a casual player to join (they'll take you, but casuals tend to burn out quick in those guilds). Azure-Guard occupies a spot in the middle where it's not quite top-end, wants to be but won't quite go to the lengths the others do. It's a common landing spot for players who want to get the best pixels they can without totally devoting their lives to EQ.
Pick your poison. If you want to obtain pixels beyond lower/midrange stuff in this open-world game, you'll have to make at least some dedication to do it.
