Thoughts about guilds...

As mentioned in a previous thread, we hunters have loads of time to think about stuff.

Traveling through WOW one can become overwhelmed by the series of whispers they receive giving them the option of joining a guild. I recall years ago when I played, there were only a few guilds that might ask if you wanted to sign up with them. Usually the guilds would do their thing and wait for someone to ask them about their talbard or guage someone's worth by how well they dungeoned or whatnot and pursue them then.

I can see where having a large guild may be appealing to some, seeing your colors all over Azeroth can make you feel good and I'm sure it allows for some fun battlegrounds. Personally, I would find much more enjoyment of being in a guild of 20 accounts (max). Twenty high level character in WOW is nothing to sneeze at and chances are you'd all know eachother or at the very least you would have shared a few words.

Are there any guild with a theme of any sort? Any all hunter guilds, all dwarf guilds, all mining guilds, all healing guilds, guilds with only one player per race type or etc? I'm curious about this one.

I was approached by a guild called the Muses yesterday. Someone named Ariatha (spelling?) asked if I wanted to join and went on to say how they were a lvl 25 guild, full of casual players, they would go on nightly runs... It can be kind of quiet soloing so I figured it might be worth find more out concerning the guild so I asked some questions. I asked how many people were in it, I was told 250 with multiple toons per account. I asked if they actually did stuff as a guild as opposed to merely being in it for the numbers, I was told that they would do runs and stuff. Then I asked if they accept noobs (newbs, newbies, etc.), I never got a response. I'm not technically a noob, BUT since I haven't played since BC... WOW does change quite a bit over time.

Alright, those were my thoughts on guilds. What do yall think?

Fellowship of Teldrassil is an elf guild still I believe. Phlogiston Brotherhood is a crafters guild. Pia is a militaristic good guy order. LO is a crime lord and his minions guild. There are quite a few themed guilds.

On this character, I have gotten asked to join six different guilds. I kept count after three. One guild asked right after I had already said no, like 20 seconds after.

I actually have my DK in that guild (which is level 12, btw) since she's really just a gold piggy at the moment. It's pretty much like all other such casual guilds, except it's far more friendly than most that want you to join. The nightly runs are pretty much people asking "Anyone want to run this?/ do some LFR?" Game play questions usually get answered as well. The guild is mostly filled with people who are pretty sure it'll 25 eventually and want the perks, people who don't know what they want to do with a character yet, people who just like the idea of being able to come and go without a guild leader getting on their backs about it, and a lot of alts.

However, guilds like that are just one type of guild. It is what it is and serves a purpose. There are guilds like you mentioned. This particular server doesn't have too many of the all one class/all one race guilds, though it has plenty of themed ones. Guilds like that tend to be RP guilds, though. There are some great guilds mentioned here if you're interested: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1072437309

If you're just interested in pve, then the guild finder feature might help. It lists different guilds with a short description of each. It also lists how many people are in it and the guild level. In my experience it's best to say that you'd like to talk about joining in the little note you can write. Then find out who the guild leader and officers are, add them to your friend's list, and approach them when they're online. Even writing them an in-game mail.

Another good place to look is the forums. Guilds advertise here and you can list what you're looking for and someone might know a good fit.

Hi, Trommarik! Hadn't seen you in a while; need any leather? *grin*

You're looking for a small guild; are you interested in RP, or just playing the game mechanics?

Athanion! Honor Sir! I can always use leather, I use it merely to make items soe I can level in my professions.

I would like a smaller RP heavy guild. Got any in mind?

The <Fellowship of Teldrassil> is a Night Elf themed guild but we do accept other races which I am not certain what the qualifications are if you are another race. We do have a lot of fun, though few of us are on at a time, we still have a blast, we just did a raid together yesterday and that was really fun, and one of our members even won a legendary. So if you are interested in joining our guild, visit our website which the link is post. But another super awesome guild I believe is Pia Presidium. They are a biiiig guild but really active as I hear. They are really nice and helpful and they lean to the good side as such as the Fellowship, Gentyl runs that guild, and then there is LO which is a bad side type of guild! All I know about them haha. Hope that helps!

Please oh pretty please convince the rest of the Fellowship to join us in the OOC channel! A lot of crazy stuff is going to come down in their back yard soon, and it'd be great to coordinate with them so that they can be involved, too.

If you are looking to join an RP-heavy guild, you can always ask in the OOC channel. Bring an umbrella. Sometimes we even support new guild concepts if they are attractive enough (although we have a lot of good archetypes covered). I try to support (at least morally) any guild that has a solid foundation.
