Long-Time WoW Player Looking for a Guild to Finally Call Home

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about returning to WoW and figured this time I’d try finding the right guild before worrying too much about what character I’m going to play or how quickly I can gear up.

I’ve technically played WoW since launch, but there’s a pretty big asterisk next to that.

Between serving in the military, work, family, and just life in general, I’ve never really had the opportunity to stay with the game consistently. I’d play for a couple months, disappear for a year or two, come back, learn some of the new stuff, and eventually life would pull me away again.

So I’ve experienced a lot of WoW, but I’m not sure I’ve ever really understood WoW.

That’s what I’d like to change this time.

I’m looking for a guild that wouldn’t mind taking in someone who is experienced enough to know his way around Azeroth but humble enough to admit that there is a LOT I don’t know. I’d really like to learn the game properly—my class, gearing, professions, dungeons, Mythic+, raiding, addons, logs, builds, and all the little things veteran players seem to know that I’ve somehow missed over the years.

Eventually, I don’t just want to be the guy being helped. I want to understand the game well enough that I can actually contribute to the guild and help other people too. I’d love to have some kind of path where I can improve, start running content with everyone, and eventually become someone the guild can count on.

But the biggest thing I’m looking for is community.

I’m not interested in joining a guild with 500 characters where nobody knows each other and the only time Discord comes alive is 15 minutes before raid. I’d love to find a group where people actually know each other, hang out in Discord, joke around, play other games together, and sometimes just sit in voice chat shooting the wind even when they’re not playing WoW.

I’m an adult with a family and responsibilities, so I’m not looking for WoW to become a second job. At the same time, now that life finally gives me more opportunity to play consistently, I’d really like to see parts of the game I’ve never properly experienced and find a group of people to experience them with.

I’m not looking for a carry.

I’m looking for people willing to teach me how to carry my own weight—and hopefully a guild I can finally call home.

If your guild sounds like that, I’d genuinely love to talk.

Greetings!! We are recruiting for 12.1. We are here to have fun and get a little loot along the way. We are just a group of casual gamers. We raid Tues/Thurs from 7-9:30 pm CST. We achieved AOTC every season since the Final season of Shadowlands.
We are looking to add a Lock. We are currently 6/8N Abyss.

We do have players that run keys mostly on the weekends. No set teams or times. Just grab a guildie and go. We have a number of people who push keys and had a good number get 3k in S1.

We have a pretty good group of players. We may go through a lul every once and awhile, but we have good group of players that fool around in discord. We are mostly all in our 30s and up. Though we do have a few youngins of adult age. We can definitely help you learn some more of the intricacies of WoW. A few of us have been playing since the vanilla days.

My bnet is: Crazyirish61#1337.

Hello Raeze,

First off, thank you for your service. While I am Canadian, and assume you are American, I consider us to be neighbours despite what the media may wish us to believe these days. We have a good number of veterans in Arm of Hades, and always happy to add more.

Speaking of which, your post resonated with me, and I do think the retail WoW has gotten away from a lot of the core community reasons why I loved this game in the first place. That said, the Arm of Hades family strives to maintain those core values, and only look to add people with a similar approach to the game.

While we are an AotC guild that usually progresses halfway through Mythic raid content, we do so as a community first group of adult gamers. We’re closing in on 20 years, and look forward to many more!

Outside of the game, we have monthly gatherings (for local players), and annual reunions for the not so local, where 18-22 guildies hang out for a week of board games, bonfires, poor Rockband decisions, and perhaps a few adult beverages. In fact, our 15th reunion is coming up mid-September, and we’ve hosted them all over (Missouri, upstate NY, Indiana, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and a few north of the border also).

Whether you prefer playing casually, or want to work towards regular raiding, I’d be happy to show you the ropes. The systems in place are like a jigsaw puzzle, and anyone taking a break would be hard pressed to sort it out without guidance.

Here is some into about us, and if it resonates, I’d be happy to chat on Discord - my Discord ID is Shtanky#4568. Cheers and happy hunting :slight_smile:

Hello :blush: I was in your position a few years ago, trying to find a good fit in game. I joined Arcane Misfits and never looked back.

We are patient, silly, and genuinely just enjoy being around each other. We run keys and get AOTC each season. I don’t want to overload you with text here but if you’d like to chat further my discord is jme9456.

Hey Raeze,
Sounds like METAmucil Plus may be right for you! We are an older bunch, mostly 40’s-50’s and beyond, many of us are also military veterans with a couple still serving. While we are an AOTC-only raiding guild, we do welcome casuals and non-raiders into the guild as well. Ultimately, we are as you described, a community. Our guild was founded to be a place where folks actually get to know each other beyond the pixels on the screen and we believe that makes our time together a lot more meaningful than guilds where the only thing that matters is your parses. Anyhow, I’d love to tell you more, so if you’re interested you can add me on bnet: Rawrabear#1450 or on discord: Fenrirulv.

Hey, Raeze. I believe we may be a good fit. Let me know if you’d like to chat.

Howdy do there, Raeze! I do believe that my guild could be a good fit for everything you’re looking for! What’s not mentioned is that we do play other games together, as well as a very chatty, yet chill group of individuals! You can reach the GM through his bnet or discord (which are linked in the post), or you can also reach out to me on either!
BNet - Aevur#1712 / Discord - thatonefrigibax

Thank you for all the interest

Hi Raeze,

I am Anaranae and I have a guild called The Killer Bunnies (on Stormrage) that is cross faction/cross server and we always get AOTC, possibly looking at some flex Mythic as well if people are interested.

We raid Tuesday and Thursday from 8:15 pm est to 10:30 - I have to get up early, sadly. We have several mythic plus nights and weekend activities. We are a small group with only 1 raid team and we focus on the person rather than the class or comp of the group. We also have both Horde and Alliance housing if you are in to that at all. We provide flasks, pots and feasts for raid and we work together to make sure everyone is raid ready. We let people play what they love and we make the strats work for us and our team.

We play because we like to hang out with each other and life is too short to be frustrated over a game. We have the perfect place for you on our team if you are interested in joining us for dying in super creative ways :slight_smile:

I stream on twitch at twitch.tv/anaranae if you want to see what we do and how we are.

My discord is Anaranae#3307 and Battle net is Anaranae#1516

I hope to talk to you soon :slight_smile:

Hi Raeze! My name is Kiuayoukai, and I’m the co-gm of the guild Found a Green Quest! We’re recruiting, and would love for you to come check us out!

Hey Raeze, I thought I’d take a shot with my guild just in case the times suit your schedule. We typically are most active on weekdays during 6 PM to 3 AM Pacific, so there are plenty of folks that fit into those times. Our weekends are slower as most of us having family time then, but still manage to get some folks online as well. I’ll leave our link to our ad that goes over more details, but here is the sales pitch:

If you’re interested in raiding, we offer multiple raid teams for anyone looking to progress upward or if you just want to casually raid as part of the bench for fill-ins when you want to and can. We finished season 1 with TWO teams at 9/10M so we’re looking to double CE this season. We’re mostly looking for ranged DPS for the Mythic teams, but open to all classes/specs for the others.

RAID TEAMS

Our raid teams all use RC Loot Council+GOWWishlist for Mythic teams, and open rolls for Learner teams.

  • [MYTHIC PROGRESSION] Olympians | 9/10M | WED/FRI 8 PM to 11 PM Pacific | CE-Focused Mythic
  • [HEROIC+MYTHIC PROGRESSION] Prophets | 9/10M | WED/FRI 8 PM to 11 PM Pacific | Competitive AOTC + Mythic Prog
  • [HEROIC LEARNERS] Disciples | 10/10H | SUN/MON 8 PM to 11 PM Pacific | Learners Heroic AOTC + Light Mythic
  • [NORMAL LEARNERS] Acolytes | 10/10N | TUE 8 PM to 11 PM Pacific | Learners Normal + Light Heroic

Mythic raids sometimes will raid Sunday kill push raids if a kill to a new boss is sub 10%.

MYTHIC+

Our Mythic raiding teams are required to fill the Great Vaults, thus creating a steady flow of key runs for the whole guild, while also offering lower-level “learner” runs for those still progressing. There are always people available for keys at any level.

TEAM STYLE KEY LEVELS MIN RATING
:feet: Entry Level M+0 to M+3 None
:tea: Low Keys M+4 to M+7 1500+
:hot_pepper: Mid Keys M+7 to M+10 2500+
:knot: High Keys M+11 to M+15 3000+
:ping_pong: Push Keys M+16 and up 3400+

I Will like to join your guild please :slight_smile:

Hey! I really liked that you’re looking for the community first and figuring out the rest from there. We have a mix of longtime and returning players, and a group that’s always happy to help with questions and learning along the way. If you’re still looking, check Boomers out! :slight_smile:
