The vision is a long-term, community-first organization where people actually get to know one another, enjoy playing together, and pursue meaningful progression without turning gaming into a second job. There are plans to grow beyond Wow Forever, but this game will serve as our anchor with raid schedules, pvp, and new content to explore based on road map.  We just won't penalize members for interest in other things. The main goal is to always have a crew down to ride (looking at you, November 19th) no matter what you play.  

I am a husband and father, so I understand the flexibility we all need. That said we will be seeking ages 21+ or 30+, mature, drama free, life has enough challenges we don't need more in games where we come to chill and progress content. 

We aren't a RP group, but this isn't a place to just get off your worldviews or political gripes. Zero tolerance for racism or any discrimination.  Other things like movies and anime are cool. 

What we're building:

A welcoming, social environment for people with real-life responsibilities. We will start as a spark and grow. Others are beginning answer the call; can you hear it too? This is for you.

Organized PvE progression, BG groups, dungeons, and eventually raids.

A community where preparation, teamwork, reliability, and grace matter, without unnecessary pressure.

A home that can eventually extend beyond WoW into other games. I've previously helped manage gaming groups of 20–40 active players on consoles using pc to organize and I enjoy leadership, organization, and creating a good environment for people to play together. Many of them I still game with to this day, they just have no interest in WoW or are strictly console.

What we are looking for:

Ideally, people interested in helping as a founding organizer or future officer, plus a small group of players who want to be involved from the beginning.

Even if you don't want a leadership role but have been a loner looking for community to game, share professions etc. contact me. 

I'm not claiming we already have multiple raid teams or a massive established roster. Although I do have experience raiding, I played off and on since 2004.  We're starting fresh, and that's part of the opportunity: helping shape the community rather than joining someone else's established inner circle. Hopefully a crew you enjoy enough to bring your other friends too.

Working out exact raid times but raid group 1 is tentatively set for Tuesday and Thursday 7 or 8 PM to 10 or 11 PM. We will run the second raid group on two different nights, so a total of 4 raid nights a week, two separate raid groups to start so we can match multiple member availability.

We will start two 10-man raid groups so we are good to go for 20-man raids, and then we can double that for 40-man raids at the very least.

We aren't going for world firsts, but we will be in line with Blizzard's road map. We will work together to make sure everyone has what they need to progress content. Our guild uses 2 Soft Reserves +1 for everyone in raid (participants choose their own reserves it is not decided by officers). 2 SR +1, transparent rolls, to keep loot distribution fair, clear, and rewarding for everyone.

Our philosophy is simple: We progress together. We want everyone to have a fair chance at upgrades, not just a handful of lucky players walking away with everything.

The initial goal is to build a dependable core, level together, establish a sustainable raid schedule, and grow organically. I take our long-term goals and overall community longevity seriously and have no plans to make major guild decisions in a vacuum, we will move as a group. I seek to empower everyone to play their way and move the team forward and hope all members will do the same.

If you've wanted to help build a gaming community instead of just joining another guild roster, I'd be interested in talking. 

If you were all set to go this journey solo because none of your friends play or you don't know that many people, check us out, we have a place for you. I encourage you to contact me, I think most games, including wow are way more fun together.

DM me @Rockitrush on Discord or here if this sounds like something you'd enjoy helping build or be a part of.
