[A] <Battlelust> is alive once more! Guild recruitment for RP/WPvP

:crown: Greetings fellow Zandalar Tribes-people! :crown:


We bring you the guild that draws its roots from the times of The Burning Crusade, a guild that always was about world PvP and light RP elements and mostly about like-minded people gathering under same banner to socialize and enjoy the battlefields of Azeroth. We bring you <Battlelust> !


:hourglass_flowing_sand: A bit of history about this guild first: :hourglass_flowing_sand:

Originally created by my hunter Nataliya in the Ravenholdt EU server during The Burning Crusade, that guild was created to be a home for all WPvP enthusiasts who also enjoyed a bit of RP here and there.

Our goal was always try to provoke as much PvP we could and we even organized few WPvP events (like that one near Karazhan, where each faction had 3 ”kings” who were to be escorted to safety from the tunnels under Karazhan, all the way up to the highest tower, in case there are some old-timers who remember such things).

We also did some light RP and even if some members didn’t find that aspect of the game fitting for them, everyone was expected to respect RP rules (after all, Ravenholdt is RPPvP server). We had ups and downs, like every guild, but even to this day the original <Battlelust> prevails in Ravenholdt… dormant now.

Now we’re here in classic and the guild is opening its doors to everyone who want to enjoy WPvP and RP together!


:trophy: Our theme! :trophy:

We are a band of mercenaries who fight for the highest bidder (not exactly using in-game gold). We could be acting as a bodyguard for RP events. Hired as a kill-squad to take down some enemy factions member, or we could be patrolling through Azeroth and fight horde where ever we might encounter them. That last bit doesn’t even need anyone to hire us, since we’re more than willing to test our fighting capabilities in the field of battle!

We aren’t exactly a ”military RP guild”, but more like a group of adventurers who just happen to share similar endless lust for battle! If we can make few coins (RP-wise) doing what we like, all the better!


:eyes: What we seek! :eyes:

People who are willing to help each other, be it PvP situation or when someone hits the wall with their questing. After all, a guild should support its members by being social and helpful and not just leave everyone to their own fate.

This is something I can’t stress enough: you are not required to drop everything you’re doing to help someone who’s on the other side of the Azeroth, but if you’re able to help, as a guildmember of <Battlelust> you should consider offering your help to your fellow fighter!

People who join guilds usually join for reason and that reason might be that they don’t want to experience this world completely alone, stranded from everyone else.

We also require you to at least respect the RP rules, which means that you are not ordered to join RP events and do RP if you don’t want to, but you’re expected to respect people who do their RP. And if those people happen to be horde, then you shall deliver proper RP to them with a blade! It’s a dangerous world after all, and horde is currently our enemy faction.

There are really no other demands for our members, except that they act politely towards other guild members and other alliance people too.

Of course, if you do RP and in that you’re having a grudge against someone within our faction, then that’s perfectly fine! After all, RP grudges shouldn’t affect how you actually think about someone else. So please be polite to other people.

…except horde. With them you can do as you please, as long as you use your harmful magic or sharpened blade against them! We all might have our carebear moments, but try to provoke WPvP where ever your adventures guide you!

(That being said, we don’t support corpse camping. Ganking is allowed and you can take down low lvl enemy if you so choose, as long as you don’t constantly try to prevent them from their own adventure… unless they are the ones who keep attacking you, your group or other members of the alliance or alliance settlements! Then it is up to you to drive them away!)


All in all, we’re trying to build a guild that welcomes like-minded people to enjoy classic with us. You don’t have to be the most social person and we don’t require you to be the most skilled fighter there ever was, just as long as you enjoy the game and your time with us!

After all, that’s what this game is supposed to be about: fun and how everyone makes it fun for themselves. Our guilds goal is to try and support you with that goal.

You can throw a whisper at us just to say hi, or for a light interview if you’re interested about our guild and have questions of your own about us. Or send us in-game mail and tell us a bit about yourself and we’ll get back at you!

In the future we’ll be creating contacts to other WPvP guilds and the plan is to organize events with them and with our own guildmembers. Those events will be posted to forum and are naturally open to each and every WPvP lover out there, so stay tuned!

:bow_and_arrow: Hope to see you in the fields of battle! :bow_and_arrow:

Hello Nataliya.

I have to say, I like the idea here. I came here to battle the Horde and come out of those battles victorious.

You mention that respect for RP is required, I wonder what is the ratio between IC and OOC for you guys. When do you RP, what can of RP activities you do? Can you please shed some light into that?

Also how is your guild doing at the moment, how many of you are there and how fast are you growing? What are the activities your are planning in near future?

Thank you very much. Light be with you.

Most of us are leveling, so people haven’t had “time” to RP that much yet, and to be honest, we are somewhat light on the RP side. Our guild is currently rather small (last time I logged on, it was 32 members with 4 being alts). But naturally our plan is to try growing.

But since there are those requirements (not too strict I would like to think), and we have little plans about PvE raiding (if any, currently at least) it already limits the amount of people who would be interested in our guild. It’s fully understandable too, if people are seeking more PvE orientated guilds :slightly_smiling_face:

There are some members (me included) that I know will participate in RP events, our officers being one of those naturally, as well as few others. When I’ve talked with people who would be joining, some also have shown interest towards RP.

What are our plans for it then?

Well, since we are themed as “mercs”, we will have certain people who will seek out RP contracts to do things I mentioned in the recruitment post and once we find them, there will be RP events where we plan out how those contracts will be done.

WPvP events will be planned as well, ranging from smaller scale strikes at different horde outposts/groups and organizing and co-operating with bigger guilds for bigger events to try to create “proper” battlefields with objectives that are different (or similar, which ever field it might be) for both factions. Those will be posted on the forum and at that time we’ll co-operate with horde raid leaders to make them somewhat organized.

Big plans, I know, but since I’ve planned those earlier, I see no real problem organizing them in classic too, when enough time is given :grinning:

And about our growth speed… well, since my recruitment post was pretty much first step towards recruitment, we haven’t had that big of a chance to grow quickly yet. Our officers have done in-game recruitment also, but we all know that’s somewhat slow process.

And since we like to know who we are “hiring” and check if the player might fit within us (because of those slight restrictions), we can’t just spam invites to everyone who’s running around without a guild. And we’re not trying to recruit people “by force”, because if someone likes to join us, they have to do that because of their own personal preferences and motives, not because we’ll be “demanding” anything from them.

I will contact you in game, if someone from our guild haven’t done so already, if you’d like to discuss a bit more. But hope this helps, at least some, to know our plans and what we currently are about :blush:

Always welcomed to have a chat! And if you already had a chat with one of us and decided to join, then I’ll be seeing you in game. If not, and you’re still considering, I’ll be contacting you once I log in :slightly_smiling_face:

Our numbers grow slowly but surely!

We are still seeking people to strengthen our ranks to fight the growing horde threat and share a few drinks with us after battles!

Weekly bump! We are still seeking members for WPvP, light RP and recently there have been discussions about raids as well, which is only natural, when more people are or are closing lvl60.

Our goal is not to become anything too hardcore what comes to raiding, but of course people want to gear up and some of our 60s have already pugged MC with other guilds and downed Raggy with them.

So, for anyone who wishes to join us for relaxed and friendly group and is willing to at least respect RP rules, as well as gank the living daylights out from hordies AND has interests towards some raid-plans in the future, you’re more than welcomed :blush:

Our goal is to treat people with respect and offer our assistance to those in need, because nobody in our guild should feel like an outsider!

Hordies are there for poking and teasing :smiling_imp:

For the lust of battle!

Good luck with your recruiting, Looking forward to fighting the guild tag once again like old days :slight_smile:

Yet another bump! We are still searching for people to fill our roster and seek out contracts to hunt down horde members or to act as guards to those who can afford us (RPwise)!

People of all levels and life situations are welcomed, as long as you’re nice to your fellow alliance members and evil to the horde!

As mentioned before, you are not demanded to do RP, but you must at least respect RP rules. Other than that, you’re in for a social bunch who will make you feel at home whenever we go gank… I mean, fight horde in honorable combat!

Thanks Keen. Good to see you around and hope to meet you in the fields of battle! :grinning:

@nataliya

If you have space, im going to create a new account to come and play with you guys (already have my horde char on ZT). I was a battleslut back in TBC and look forward to playing with you again!

Yours Katrina

I will probably play a caster this time, instead of a warrior though!

Certainly! As a former guildmember you don’t even have to ask if there’s a spot for you! :grinning: And since we’re still rather small, the space isn’t really an issue.

But even if it was, we’d just do something to allow at least 1 more former Battlesl… Battleluster to join! :grin:
