Has everyone found their guild yet? Or do you just plan to roll on a server of your choice and hope to get into a guild?
I’m finding that a lot of recruitment threads, both here and on the Reddit discord, have a pretty full roster already. Plus it’s really hard to find something I really want (west coast time for raids, alliance, pve, somewhat mature guild–my humor is all over the place but I like to leave politics/racism/etc. out of guild chat). I was so lucky to find decent guilds in the past just kind of spontaneously, but now I’m worried it will be harder to find something that will fit. Where should I be looking to find newish guilds whose raid roster isn’t formed yet?
I’m not joining any guild I haven’t run with in a dungeon or interacted with in the world. I have faith I’ll find some fun folks by the time I’m in my 50s and perhaps think about joining a guild at that time.
To me Classic WoW isn’t just a change to rediscover the game again, it’s a change to reset the clock and maybe get away from the established clique-y insular behavior we’re used to on longer-running servers. The antisocial mechanics of the current game just further encourage this behavior.
I’ve talked to a few friends about possibly playing and they like me are not sure they’re ever going to play at all given the changes to Classic they’re implementing. But if I did play I’d want to start by just finding some friends I enjoy playing with and doing content with first before I’d ever look for a guild or just join one because it’s the in-crowd.
Forum advertisements on absolutely terrible way of finding the people you want to spend that much time with.
My plan is to run guildless for a while and pick from the guilds people are in that help me in game or are actually friendly or appreciative when I help them.
A bunch of people showing up to conduct a cold ruthless camp of the despicable Alliance person that killed a Horde player Is a definite plus!
I’m burnt out on guilds. Many are needless drama centers, others are just so the guild leader can have a ego trip at the expense of others enjoyment of the game. Yeah I’m salty, but this salt has been created over years of guilds promising the moon and delivering a boat ride across a pond.
This is pretty accurate of the recruiting right now. By which I mean promising the moon. There are plenty of recruitment forums. Between here, Barrens Chat, Reddit, etc. But just be cautious. The majority of those posts are big dreams. By all means find a guild, but keep in mind nothing is set in stone until you start playing together.
We are not actively recruiting anymore because we have our numbers, but we are not turning anyone away, and I’m sure we will have spots available.
Everything is set and waiting to go. Like the poster above said, almost all of these recruiting threads are just people that are hopeful to have what they are advertising.
If our hours fit your schedule post in our recruitment thread.
Just hoping to find a big social guild that’s raid friendly not raid focused. At best I can only raid every other week anyways because of my work schedule. But at least with a social guild I can help and get help with other things like questing in the world, dungeon runs, some WPVP if it happens. I plan on playing on a PVE server.
I have no IRL social connections to gamers, I am outside the age loop for it. So I plan to roll on a server in my time zone for best ping, PvP, and work on getting to 60 and just see what happens along the way.
In the end my end game is casual PvP and soloing content so a guild isn’t a necessity, but nice to be in one if it happens.
I am part of a rl circle of friends coming back for Classic. We’ll be (hopefully) rolling on an RP-PvP realm. Horde. Casual. EST weekend raid times. Talent how you wish, just be effective (does not mean “optimal”) at your class.
In vanilla I WPVP’ed in every zone on a PVE server. Almost always a defender. I always kept my world defense channel on and responded to any attacks I’d see going on for a few minutes. Not sure how much it will happen in Classic, but it happened plenty in vanilla. At least on my server. Also if I was just running around in the world and saw a flagged horde that wasn’t grey level, I would instantly attack him.
I think you’re getting ahead of yourself a bit. I’d suggest letting it happen naturally, via just start playing, and as long as you’re not a jerk you should find a leveling guild along the way.
When you hit 60, if your leveling guild isn’t cutting it, then start looking for a raiding guild. I expect there will be people advertising guilds in cities and on the forums.
