Hydraxian Waterlords - Casual raiding guild recruiting [A, weekend]

Who are we?

The Expedition is a community of people who are looking forward to playing classic! Our goal is to build a healthy and inclusive community and raid on weekend evenings (Friday/Saturday). We are a diverse group of people, with different nationalities and cultures, various age and gender groups. Some of us are vanilla veterans, some never played classic and some are looking forward to experiencing WoW for the first time!

Why casual and why weekends?

Many of us have busy lives, work and/or family to look after and only have a limited time for gaming. :wink: That being said, casual does not mean “license to be bad”. We expect our raiders to prepare and play at a reasonable level. On top of that, the differences in time zones make it pretty hard to arrange raids on weekdays. By the time a person in western Europe is back from work, someone in eastern Europe needs to go to bed so they can be properly rested for the following workday. :stuck_out_tongue: Fridays will let us start a bit later in the evening without concerns for either group while Saturdays will let us have a bit of a longer raid without concerns for either group.

Why RP-PvE?

Some of our members are interested in the role-playing aspect, and most of us aren’t interested in playing with “Godslayerxx” or “Soserious” (yes, I’ve run into these names and worse :man_facepalming: ). Immersion is important to us and we feel a role-playing server will enhance that. Also, while we do have people interested in pvp, there are a lot of situations where this option is available. A pvp server would just make it a forced instead of an optional activity at times.

What are we looking for?

People with an interest in raiding and/or interest in professions. We expect people to be respectful to each other, not engage in juvenile jokes or bullying and not be overly negative (nobody wants a party pooper). We do not expect people to commit to anything, this is a game after all. However, we do expect people to follow through with their commitments if they choose to make any. All classes and roles are welcome.

Sounds good, how do I contact you?

If you are interested or just want to hear more you can poke ember78 (mike)#3678 or Lin#2920 on discord. You can also chat with us on the Discord server Gate Room (discord.gg/Y8KU7Yv) to see if we could get along. Please be aware that as already mentioned, we are people with busy lives, so you may not get an instant response. Be patient, we are not ignoring you – just not tied to our keyboards. :wink: People unwilling to use discord are unlikely to fit into our community as it is our primary means of communication.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for!

This sounds like the place for me! I’ll hit you up on discord.

We’re almost sure about the guild name now! Of course, we’ve been at this stage before, and then backed off to take something different again…

We’re now mostly focusing recruitment on warriors (tanks and dps), rogues and priest/paladin healers. Still got a few spots for the rest of the classes of course and socials or crafters are always welcome!

Thank you all for the interest you’ve shown so far <3

Back to the game after 6 years and after 8 years of horde, this might make me change directions :slight_smile:

If only would have been on RP-PvP server, would have been perfect then.

Good luck, and consider this as free bump

This sounds great for myself and a few friends that are looking for a guild. I have joined your discord (darth_rich) if you’d like to ask any questions.

All the best,

Well, I think this might be the place for me :slight_smile:

Hey, we don’t have that decided yet but I’ll give our raid leader a poke so he can think about it a bit more vigorously :slight_smile:

Raid times are still somewhat tentative as it heavily depends on how the team is looking when we do hit raids. The ideal thing would be to make sure that people have time to have their dinner in peace after a day’s work on Fridays, so based on the earliest EU timezone probably start would be at around 21:30/22:00 CET, going on until around midnight CET.

Saturday tends to be a bit more flexible, so we’re looking at probably an earlier start - maybe around 20:30/21:00 and keep it going until around half past midnight or so. Obviously depending on what the raid is looking like, if people are getting tired it might end earlier. Again, I’m listing CET times (or CEST during summer).

There is no minimum attendance requirement, but we do expect people to show up when they say they will :wink:

On that note, we are mostly focusing recruitment mainly on rogue/warrior/hunter/warlock when it comes to raiders. Socials obviously can be of any class :slight_smile:
