Reading various WoW blogs, I realize how very lucky I am. I joined a guild at the start of WoW because they had a name from the Simpsons, and my friend and I thought it was cool.

Our guild is the last guild on Uther – horde to be originally from the start of the game. We are fairly casual, raiding 3 nights per week but we make excellent progress as the top ranked casual guild on our server.

We have had plenty of drama and the guild has almost imploded once or twice, but thankfully we’ve been consistent. I don’t really know what I would do in WoW if I were not in that guild, as my experience of WoW has become very much linked with the fun we have in guild.

I have left the guild twice to try other ones for short periods of time. While the other guilds were great, I was glad to return to my original each time.

I guess the main point behind my response is to say that it really is a good feeling when you find a guild to call “home”, and it really does make the game so much more fun.

When BC hit and everybody was hitting level 70 I had a huge responsibility. My guild I had been an officer in all through out vanilla on my druid disbanded people looked to myself and twin brother to make a guild… and we did!

Soon after the disband we started getting people together to form a super guild! which is now known as Visage on jubei’thos! we cleared all BC content too that was the most fun i’ve ever had raiding and I was so sad when Ulduar was released and 4 of my officer friends quit the game. Hence why I transferred to barth you play with Vitare.

I can’t wait for Icecrown Citadel, raiding with vitare will be so enjoyable and I think we’re slowly getting a strong competent core together for it …

But like you if my friend from barthilas (Doli) didnt talk to me on msn that night saying guilds need shamans I would most likely never have transfered ):

Something similar happened to my group of friends and I. Our BC raiding guild was falling apart after clearing Naxx. There is was the “clique” group of six or seven of us. I feel like an elitist jerk to say, but we were the glue in that guild. While I was on break from raiding with that guild, and leveling my druid (she was alliance atm) to 80, they gquit. I came back on my pally to find everyone had left. I immediately gquit. All but myself and another incredibly good mage, Don, were guildless. Team-clique had gottten into Centuria, which was fast becoming the best horde guild on the server. I apped and it seemed like forever to get in. I even was in a couple little guilds here and there and people wanting me, but I wanted in with my friends.
Seems everyone has had these similar situations. Glad everyone finally finds their niche.

You know what, I was in an amazing guild in TBC. It didn’t have the best progress, I mean, they reached BT/MH before the attunement was removed and that was awesome to me back when I was raiding Kara and TK/SSC. The DKP rules were almost perfect. They worked on a bidding system, so if something would otherwise be disenchanted because nobody wanted to waste all of their DKP on it, it could go for a lot less than it would if we used fixed DKP. This benfitted all members, because anybody who wanted an item could bid on it. Of course, members had priority over casuals and trialists, but that’s normal. Nobody, complained, everyone was happy with that. The progression through BT and Sunwell was fun, we had a laugh in raids, hell, we had guild meetups in London which were FUN. Sadly, in Wrath, it was overrun by idiots who spend too much time on 4chan. No other guild really compares.. except Endure, I was in a guild late Naxx/early Ulduar, and I loved it until I grew bored of raiding. Sadly, both my TBC guild, and Endure, are no longer raiding.

I now want a new server, a fresh start, a new guild, but a fair guild, no more loot councils.. I’ve come to be very fond of DKP systems, difficult to corrupt them compared with loot councils. I’d like the idiots to be semi-under control, raids to be fun, and progression to be average. So, I have to traipse through the realm forums, finding my “perfect” guild, and one which needs a decent hunter at that *sigh*

This will be my sliding doors moment, but hopefully nothing like the movie.

Ulduar eh? That was about the time I became Guild Leader of Obsolete. We picked up a good priest around then too, Fatpanda. He was, infact, an exception player. He quit WoW about six weeks after he joined….

One can’t help but wonder how having you guys join would have changed the fate of Obsolete as well. When I was Guild Leader we always seemed about three or four players from being where we needed to be.

But then, I’ve got a whole new lease of life WoW thanks to my 10-man group and Vitare seem to be travelling VERY nicely at the moment, so all it well that ends well.

Also – It’s only Holy Priests I have an unholy rage towards. Shadow and Disc are ok with me!
