Greetings all,
A little history:
STING is a gaming community that formed way back in mid-late 1997. We started as a Quake 1 Team Fortress Clan that competed in various competitive leagues back then such as the OGL (Online Gaming League), STA (Stronger Than All) and the TFLeague.
We recreated the Clan into an Outfit in a game called Planetside in 2003 and grew to over 150 active members.
World of Warcraft was then released in 2004 and so STING the guild was created on the Deathwing server. We grew very quickly and were one of the most populated guilds on the server. We took Rag down towards the end of 2005. We were never ‘hardcore’ but we had a dedicated team of raiders that pushed on until we did it.
Fast forward to present day and we are ‘getting the band back together’ for WoW Classic. We have gathered as many old STINGer’s we could find to return to Azeroth - and we would love to have you with us as well!
What we are looking for
Truth be told, we are all old now and a lot of us are married with kids. We are looking for members who are NOT typically ‘hardcore’ or ‘no-lifers’. Those types are perfectly fine! However, they would probably not like our guild.
I would say we are looking for people who:
- Love WoW; especially the classic era
- Like making friends while playing games
- Casual to semi-hardcore players who, if schedule permits, will make raid times and want to complete tier content
- Older 30+ crowd who have a job and family commitments but can still take time during the week to game with his/her buddies (though under 30s crowd always welcome)
- While we will be looking to complete raids, we do expect anyone participating to know their class well and able to research the fights ahead of time
- You don’t care about being level 60 and molten core geared 1 week after classic servers go live
- Generally nice and friendly people
Like I mentioned before, we did complete Molten Core back at launch about a year after the game released. Not breakneck speed, but we got there and had a blast doing it.
As far as raid days and times, during the mid-morning to early afternoon seem popular with parents as the kiddos are in school. But we would have another group for the evening as well (planned). There would be a raid leader for the day raids and one for the evening. It is subject to change, but Tues/Thurs 10am-1pm PST for the days and 8pm-11pm PST for the evening.
We have a lot of PVP players as well, so in addition to raiding, we would have PVP events (either world or BGs when they release).
Additionally, we will try to choose a server that doesn’t have any big streamers.
