Who we are...
1) Our core has been playing WoW together since day 1, some of further back in beta. We've stayed friends for 13+ years have met up in RL more than a few times now.
2) We are old (by gamer standards), some of us even older than dirt (Gim). We are the "older crowd" and after Warcraft we tend to drive our Buicks to go play Bingo, eat Tapioca pudding, while fighting over which of us gets to wear the blue colored Depends™. (Giggles keeps hogging them!)
So no one under legal age please. We don't need reminders of how much cooler things were before our metabolism and sex drive were distilled into the ink on our marriage certificates. Wife aggro has become a competitive sport to us, and we could use some more ideas in our "How to deal with Bipolarity in our significant others" think-tank.
3) We are family/working stiffs - RL > WoW, 'nuff said.
4) We tend to joke around ALOT on Discord at each others expense. Thick skin is a benefit though by no means required. :)
5) Experienced- Besides being here from Day 1 or Beta, some of us have been in top shelf guilds and have raided everything up untl now. Two of us have been in server first types of guilds, and in the past, we were the #2 Alliance guild on Fenris back in BC when Kara was new. While we have plenty of experience, we are NOT hardcore anymore. Mostly due to Father Time and the occasional abuse at our Senior Living Center (see #2 above).
6) Plug and Play. While we all have mains (somewhat), we are ok with playing whats needed to keep running. We love alts to the point of needing therapy.
Who we aren't (a.k.a. the not so nice details)...
1) Anal jokes, trade spam, airing out your dirty laundry, ninja looting, etc. tends to make us ancient folk more crotchety than losing our blue pills on date night. We all pay to play but if any of the above get you through the day, then you probably won't be a good fit.
2) Cheap. We have always helped each other, we don't ever charge for guild mats, make stuff for free etc. Repairs are for guild dungeons/raids/pvp activities (Bank permitting), anyone is welcome to mats to level up skills etc. This is not a requirement though, we just never did it any other way.
3) Drama.... This is sometimes a gray area. Every guild has some drama from time to time, its unavoidable. We keep it to a minimum though, talk to us before going off the deep end (we might even share a Zoloft™ with you).
In the end, a guild is a collection of alot of different personalities, and sometimes there are clashes. As long as we are still having fun, it's all good.
4) Hard Core and/or Elitist- a couple of us are from hardcore server first guilds through the years, those days are over. We just want to have fun with people we like (in some cases tolerate ;)).
Our unlimited patience ends at elitists btw. We prefer the Clint Eastwood type of amazing but humble, badassery-exuding players who know they are the cats biznachos without needing to broadcast it.
If you had to google Clint Eastwood, you are too young for us.
Rules (our usual policy)...
1) Not much beyond "Honor thy guild tag." We've always cultivated relationships with other guilds on whatever server we wound up on, and we've always been respectful and respected. Every member represents the guild, this is non-negotiable, treat others with respect. No loot !@#$%s, Ninja looters, griefers, campers, chat spammers (beyond trying to legitimately sell stuff), etc.
Yada yada, you long winded, soapbox Guildofficerwomanperson, where do we go from here?
Our main goal is obviously to build a fun guild doing everything possible. Dungeons/Raids/PvP or whatever suits the guildies fancy.
We currently raid Tuesday 8pm-10/10:30pm EST and Wednesday 9pm-11pm EST
We are currently 8/8N and 5/8H and are moving to running heroic exclusively on our main raid nights. We'd like to get a second group for friday or saturday night going as well, that might be a bit more relaxed.
We also have several people who enjoy tearing up some M+ dungeons, but would always love more people to enjoy the crushing weight of fortified bolstering teeming infested!
Ultimately, we like close knit and small guild size but historically we always seem to build around two working raid squads. One for the usual raid types, and the other for the more casual raiders. We all like to know everyone, and build real friendships as opposed to being one of the faceless masses.
