Just wondering, I’ve been bouncing around for a while now. Some were probably from a spam invite, but I was a part of one really good one I found myself.
How did you guys find your guild/community/friends? Interested in hearing everyone’s story!
I will keep a close eye on this thread because I need this. It’s so difficult to me to feel welcomed into a guild, probably because I am more on the introverted side, but yeah.

For me, I was interested in raiding. So originally I went on WoWProgress and looked for guilds that had similar progress. Bounced around a few times looking for a good fit. Finally found one. Stuck with em since Legion launch.

Try this:
When I first started wow I was randomly invited into a guild and decided to gamble on it. It was a nice guild, but casual. I decided I wanted to raid for real and get past LFR, I was recommended this guild from a friend who was already in it. Been here since middle end of MoP.

trade chat. been with them over a year. great bunch. got one CE (but i wasnt in the last kills due to relocation and living in hotel for 2 months).
I was on a Horde guild bout a year ago. It broke down and people stopped logging in. I got bored and was leveling an alliance warrior and got a random invite.
So I was like “screw it” and hit accept.
And here I am.
Usually those random invites don’t work out. This was not one of those times.
Trade Chat, where most in-game recruiting takes place.
Was randomly invited on my walk to bloodhoof village.
I’m pretty extroverted and yet haven’t really found a guild I’m tight with. Thanks Estivail for the hookup!
Found mine on eharmony

I mentioned offline that I wanted to get back into WoW, and a friend of mine said “I’m in a guild.” So I joined there, and it’s been a good fit.
I just looked in the guild finder for a mythic guild in 8.3 that was recruiting for shadowlands. Applied to some in the guild finder and got accepted to a couple and chose this one.
I hadn’t played since Cata. I renewed and got back into the game just after Christmas of 2019. At some point during the leveling process to 120 someone randomly whispered me saying they noticed I was guildless and whether I wanted to join…so I said yes but figured when I got to max level I’d likely leave to find a decent guild on the server that was doing end-game content, as the guild I joined barely had any Heroic kills in the current tier (Eternal Palace) despite it being at the end of the season.
Turns out the guild I joined was revamping and making a push to be the top raiding guild on the (small) server, and during my leveling I spent a lot of time on Discord talking with the GM (who I think was the one who invited me?) and the raid leader about my extensive raid experience in the earlier days of WoW and about how the game is different now. I told them I was highly interested in raiding but was rusty and would take a bit of time to learn the new stuff and get back into it. I became somewhat raid-ready just before 8.3 dropped and impressed them in their casual Eternal Palace raid despite my lower ilvl and they said they wanted me in their raid for 8.3 so long as I was geared enough. Turned out we were among the first two guilds to clear Normal and Heroic Ny’alotha on our server, and became the best raiding guild on the server in Mythic Ny’alotha and now in 9.0 as well). I consistently either was the top DPS and parser in raid or battled the raid leader and occasionally another player or two for top DPS, so I was pretty happy with my situation and think it worked out well for both parties.
I also really hit it off with most the officers, particularly the raid leader. I applied for and was promoted to a guild officer position in April last year based on my raid performance and my pitch about how I could apply my statistical and research knowledge to improving the guild and so on. Now I work closely with the raid leader to make decisions on the raid roster, collect data/information from guild members to schedule when/what we raid (we do a lot of off-schedule stuff and now have two raid teams plus a casual night), make and keep updated various guild documentation (general rules, raid FAQ, raid roster, etc.), help review logs, make raid announcements, recruit potential raiders, help identify and groom promising raiders, and that sort of thing.
Pretty wild considering this all came about because some random person decided to whisper another random lv 100 or w/e toon into the guild and we got to talking.

I don’t have one, because I’m a rare treasure to behold, few get to experience me.
That’s what mom says anyway.

The guild that I think of as “my guild,” despite it being long dead I found on accident during Wrath. I kept pugging with them in Nax25 because they needed a tank. Eventually they asked me to join and I said I would if they fixed the Vent codec to actually let me hear people and talk to them. And they did. Great group of people.
My current guild, I sat in trade chat until I saw someone finally posting for a guild that did stuff late at night enough for me to participate.
(As a side note, the number of people who think they’re in “late night” guilds, when their raid times start 2 hours before 2nd shifters get off work continues to baffle me.)
I was whispered to, answered, and after a curt exchange entered the fold.
Thankful am I that they are fine folk.
made it myself. i wanted the bank space to share stuff with alts. 
the last guild i was in was in vanilla (…yes…) and i think i ended up in it by talking to some folks during the daily defense of crossroads.
kinda miss it but i don’t want to schedule my gametime around other people, feel like I HAVE to log in or… talk.
Where i come from
Guild find you.
