UPDATED OOC GUILD DETAILS!
====1. Yes, we’re goblin-only. We’ve been asked a few times to admit other races, but we’ve decided against it. You’re welcome to join our sister guild, Flashbang Associates if you’re non-goblin.
====2. Goblins currently make up about 2% of the total MG population, which is a very tiny amount! However, as Flashbang Exports is home to many of the goblins on Moon Guard, we are by no means small!
====3. If you are looking to learn how to RP a goblin, or are a beginner to RP, then this is a great place for you.
====4. Many of our goblin characters were rolled during Legion. In BfA we started doing normal raids, and even got 6/8 through Heroic Eternal Palace when it was current. One day we will get our all-goblin AoTC! We’ve also been doing mythic keystones, up to about level 10 (depending on where we are in the season). But if you want to do these runs with us, you better make your goblin your main character!
====5. The current guild plotline is that we are a merchant guild, and our focus is making moolah, lots of it. That means edging out the competition - gnomes. To make sure those little twerps don’t get the edge on us, we’ve been sending goblins dressed in gnome suits into Stormwind to try and find the masterminds of their evil plans. Once we find their gnomish tech blueprints, we’ll alter them enough to give them some KABOOM, and then go into mass production, claiming they were our ideas all along.
====6. We are very sociable, like most goblins. This is not a suitable for guild for people with anxiety or depression issues. We are loud and chatty, and we like people to get involved. Expect to see us around, having parties and generally causing mayhem. There is time for serious RP later!
====7. RP events are held at least twice weekly. We have a goblin bar night Saturdays at 8pm at the Wyvern’s Tail, as well as weekend events. We also have IC guild meetings, fishing contests, RP pet battles, demolition dervies, and we are proud hosts of the annual events “The Gizleton Grand Prix” and “The Glitz Alley Garment Showcase”.
====8. Our goblin lore expeditions run 2-3 times a year. These include tutorials about goblin history and famous personas, as well as visits to goblin-run towns.
====9. We are a mixture of goblins from various cartels, including Bilgewater, Steamwheedle and even Venture Company. Interactions with other guilds is welcomed - just don’t expect us to do anything by the book.
====10. To make it less intimidating for newcomers, there is no formal application process. All goblins are welcome. New members will be promoted to Merchant rank. If you become inactive for 3 months or more, you are demoted to OOC rank. If you are inactive for more than a year, at some point we’ll have a clean out and remove you from the guild. You have been warned! As we do have a good proportion of alt characters, it is important that you check in regularly to let us know you’re still alive.
====11. If you are interested but unsure whether or not to join, you are welcome to join our discord channel and lurk until you get an idea of what we’re about. If you’re ready to sign up, roll, or transfer a goblin this very moment, leave a message in our general chat requesting an invite or message Flywheel directly on Flywheel#4087 (messages will be answered daily, but I am not available 24/7).

====12. Our guild chat is OOC. Members are not forced to RP, but it is encouraged. We have a goblin radio IC channel at /join goblinrp
====13. Flashbang Exports Wiki Page (includes information about guild structure):

====14. Horde allies of the guild (particularly goblins from other servers), FLashbang Exports, and Flashbang Exports are all linked together by a Horde Community called The Flashbang Empire. We strongly encourage all our members to join this community to keep in touch with us. Alt characters in other guilds can also communicate with us this way.

====15. Finally, we are a fun-loving, postive, and happy bunch of people. We have extremely low drama. We’re not hardcore players. If you’re all about pushing the latest content at the fastest rate possible, this isn’t the guild for you. If you want to play solo and keep to yourself, this is not a good guild for you either. If you want a scenic journey at your own pace, making lots of friends along the way (yes, we will make you get into voice chat, even just to listen!) then you’ll love Flashbang Exports.
Flashbang Exports is officially open (and looking for business)!
