<Safe Haven> -Bloodsail - NA/Alliance - Casual/Social guild

Recruiting for Safe Haven! An environment built around Casual gameplay, Social interaction, Family/Friend oriented atmosphere & the ability to play when you want; how you want. We are catered to the older, senior crowd but Old players and New players are welcome!

Safe Haven, a place of safety or refuge. “And thus it gives the impression of being a safe haven to which we may retreat from the unpredictability and limitlessness of experience.” That’s the mantra. To be able to log-in and have fun in a toxic free, mature, adult environment and just play how you want to play, while making new friends along the way.

About the guild - Safe Haven is a newly formed Casual/Social guild that will be created when Classic launches. The guild will be catered to the older, mature crowd & working adults with real life commitments. It will be small, but meaningful as I believe great friendships and cooperation will be formed over time. This will not be a raiding guild, however I am not opposed to collaborating with another small guild to attempt raids as I’ve done throughout my 14 years playing WoW.

I was searching different recruitment forums for a guild that fit what I needed, and couldn’t find my exact niche, so I decided I would create my own in the vision of how I want to revisit my Vanilla experience. I know for a fact there are a huge amount of Vanilla veterans who want to experience the game just like me because I had an entire guild of you all back in the day and it was awesome :blush:. There is nothing like logging in and running dungeons and questing or doing PVP with a group of friends. We had sons, daughters , husbands & wives, senior citizens…it was great. Chat was lively and there was no drama. It made logging in every day a truly memorable experience.

What we will do - We’ll help others through quests, dungeons or crafting. We’ll provide a place where no question is a dumb question. A place that will act like a home away from home. If you want to be a part of this guild but still raid with other guilds or pug groups , then that’s fine as well; I often pug raids when I feel like raiding. The bottom line is enjoy yourself. This guild will be what it is: Casual & Socially focused and everything we do after that will be a huge plus.

Server type/Faction - RP/PVE - Alliance on Bloodsail Buccaneers. This is not an RP guild, however if you choose to participate in RP then enjoy! I like RP realms because the community I feel is a lot more welcoming.

Time zone - NA/Eastern ( I hope to have players online all day and night).

About me - Retired military, married, 46 years old and Old school WoW player and former GM of 2 guilds in Vanilla that we’re both Casual. I’m very proud to say that my old guild did clear Naxx as a Casual guild, but not the 40 man version. Unfortunately, I only got to clear it once because I had to deploy shortly thereafter.

I honestly didn’t desire to be a GM again but I saw a need for this type of guild and said why not. This is how I enjoy WoW, stress free and I’m sure there are others that share my sentiment.

Environment- No racism, bigotry, or hate filled rhetoric will be tolerated. Period. Respectful guild chat.

Recruitment- Open to any class & any spec. I put more stock in the person behind the keyboard then the character/class you are playing. Some of my most memorable dungeon runs were with people whose specs weren’t considered optimal. Also, although I am forming this guild to cater to the graybeards and elder stateswomen of WoW, anyone who is interested, young or old will be considered if they fit the mold, and also their family members. No huge application process, just a conversation. Looking to have a max of 30 - 35 people give or take. Once a guild gets too large, you lose those personal relationships that are important.

I’m sure I have forgot to mention something so if you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to ask. It’s been awhile since I’ve done this. Please reach out to me if this is a guild you would be interested in not only joining but helping build into a great gaming home. Also, if there is another like-minded guild that is looking for a small guild to collaborate with, feel free to reach out to me as well. I look forward to playing with you on launch day and if you have any questions, please feel free to to ask!

Edit: I can be contacted at Tarron#2812 on Discord. It won’t let me attach the link. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
** Server update: We will start our journey on the Bloodsail Buccaneers server.
Also, I have made the decision that the faction will be Alliance. Hopefully those that are considering horde will give us a try!

Sounds like it could be a good time. Me and my boyfriend (25, 28) are lookin’ for something just about like this on Alliance, on an RP server.

Will you guys be using Discord? We’re big fans.

I’m especially a big fan of the soft recruitment cap. I love love love small guilds.

Hi there! I’m not opposed to using Discord at all. I’ve already started building a discord, but I’m no expert to be honest. Im determined to get it up and running through :blush: Nor am I opposed picking alliance as a faction. I love small guilds as well and hope this is something you and your significant other will be interested in!

This sounds lovely.

My husband and I were thinking of just rolling solo until we met some people we thought were a good fit but you sound like you are very much like minded.

We have played since early BC, adults 45 and 46, tank healer combo usually. :slight_smile: He is a professional and I run a small business from home as well as home school our Autistic son so time is pretty limited, but we would really love a place who understands and we can still make friends and run some fun dungeons!

However, we play mainly Horde and not really looking to switch for Classic, that would be our only issue, if you decided to roll Alliance. We will be rolling an Alliance, but with our limited time we wont have a chance to play much until our Horde toons are established.

Thanks for any other info you can provide about your decisions on factions and discord etc. :slight_smile:

Very interested in joining your guild. I have come up empty while searching the forums for a guild that would be a good fit for me as well. (Also an “older” player, I’m 42.) I play a lot, but I’m not looking to rush the Vanilla experience. Looking to make new friends and have new adventures.

Very interested in this guild. In the same boat where I’ve looking through other recruitment posts for a place to call home - this is as good as it will get from what I have read. I’m “post 50” (leave it at that), work from home and when I get online I really just want to relax and have some fun. The RP/PvE is perfect and I’d be fine with either faction while keeping it smaller is right up my alley.

I miss vanilla WOW so much because the last 2 expansions just didn’t do it for me. I
remember the thrill of getting all my weapons up to max, 400, through grit and determination. It was great. I also was in a great guild and we had a lot of fun. This is my original character, Lizrael, I created ,Lo those many years ago! I can’t wait for classic to begin, and would heartily love to join your group. I definitely am a senior,65, and fit all the criteria you mentioned. Happy gaming!

Also forgot to mention, I am good with either faction. Just looking for a good group of people to play with. =)

Age is comparable to mine. Desire for guild community as well.

Watching this thread.

As long as people will be online to do stuff around 9pm CST I’m game.

General play times/days? I’m keeping this short on purpose in case our times don’t mesh.

Do you have a Discord or how are you currently in contact?

I’m very sorry for the late response…had a busy day. You guys sound like a great fit! I’m going to see what the balance is from who wants to roll Alliance or Horde and go from there. I plan on having an environment that would definitely fit what you and your husband is looking for. Regardless of what faction you start with you’ll have an open invitation to my guild!

Also, being that this guild will be casual focused I hope people would be on daily so I am unable to predict play times. You normally figure that out organically as you log in each day.

I am working on a discord and should have it up by tonight. Like I stated previously, I’m teaching myself how to set one up, so bear with me😊

It’s pretty simple to get one going. Only thing difficult is permissions so you don’t get some spamming going on.

It was great logging in and seeing so many interested people! I knew you guys were out there somewhere…lol

Sounds like you would fit right in!

I am quite interested in your guild ideals and think I might fit in just fine. I am interested in an alliance experience. Am retired and one of the greybeard types who played wow since the beginning allthough i don’t think I ever got over level 30 in vanilla. I was leaning toward playing Priest and healing this time around, I do play live wow right now but will be playing classic only when it goes live, please let me know if I might be a good fit, Although I did not serve myself I am from a military family as is my wife my father served 42 years in the AF and my wife’s farther was a general in the army and her brother retired a full bird.

I miss Vanilla WoW too! I was primarily a Holy Priest and I loved the game in its original state. I think this environment would be great for you!

I feel that your guild is exactly what I’m looking for!

I mainly played Alliance during Vanilla, but I’m open to rolling either faction. It’d be nice to try Horde this time around, but I’d rather have a relaxed group to play and enjoy the game with first and foremost.

Either way, it sounds like you have a very nice concept and direction for the guild. Please keep us posted on how it goes - I’m very interested in joining! Thanks.

I appreciate the interest everyone! I tried to respond to individual postings but I think there is a timer on the website because it won’t allow timely replies (unless I’m doing something wrong).

In any case I wanted to update you all that I have created a discord. I can be contacted at Bishop#2812. Also, due to popular demand, I have decided that the faction will be Alliance. I’m sorry Horde hopefuls, but if you feel like making the change to be in company of like-minded individuals, feel free to cross over! I would love to have you!

I sent you a friend request on Discord. Will check back in tomorrow morning. Looking forward to playing with you guys!

Also just sent a request on Discord.
