OOPS Inc – Ahead of the Curve, Behind on Everything Else (N9/9, H1/9)

:sparkles: Introduction

Welcome to -OOPS Inc-OOPS Incorporated… or maybe OOPS Incoming. Depends on who pulled.
We’re a World of Warcraft Retail guild where we’re Occasionally Organized, but Permanently Silly!

Tired of spreadsheets, parses, and people yelling about the meta? Looking for a guild that values fun and community over decimals on a DPS meter?

Here at OOPS Inc, we believe WoW is still a game, not an unpaid internship. We’re here for friendship, laughter, shared adventures, and those “unavoidable” wipes.


:building_construction: Ready for Midnight (we think)

We spent the last few months of content drought doing exactly what we promised: building a community. We survived the boredom, bonded over bad jokes, hosted silly events, and solidified a core group of players that actually enjoy playing together.

The foundation is poured, the walls are up, and the roof is… well, let’s hope it holds. We are now looking to finalize our raid roster for Midnight. The core team is ready, the vibes are established, and now we just need a few more like-minded souls to complete the circus.


:bullseye: Who We’re Looking For

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran who wants to escape the parse cult, or a newer player who just knows the basics and wants to learn, you’re welcome here.

If you’re a complete beginner still figuring out which button makes fireball happen, there are better places to start, but come back once you’ve survived a few wipes.

We don’t worship icyveins like holy scripture. We don’t care if your spec is C-tier and someone on YouTube screamed UNPLAYABLE. Play what you like. Just know it well enough to carry your weight.


:crossed_swords: Raid Size and Atmosphere

Our raid team will remain relatively small at around 15 active raid members. Big enough to kill bosses and small enough to laugh when Steve accidentally bodypulls the trash pack.

Social & M+ recruitment is always open.
Just remember: “social” doesn’t mean spectator mode. We are looking for people who want to be part of the guild beyond just chat.
Whether you’re chasing KSM, helping with a +2, or joining our fun game nights, we expect our socials to hop into dungeons, show up for events, and actually play the game with us.

Bring jokes, bring laughs, and bring your keystone.


:handshake: Guild Culture

We’re not a parse factory. We’re not a top 500 guild. We’re not qualifying for the Olympics.

Most of us are people with daytime jobs, families, and lives outside Azeroth. We mainly play in the evenings, and that’s the pace we want the guild to grow at. If you’re sprinting ahead because you can play all day, you’ll probably outpace us, and that’s not ideal. Think of OOPS Inc as a dadcore guild: relaxed, reliable and all about balance.

We love when people are also active on Discord throughout the day. A bit of chatting, banter or hanging out helps us build friendships outside the game itself and keeps the guild feeling alive even when we’re not raiding.

Here, wipes happen, we laugh, then we wipe again. Jokes fly, respect matters, and fun comes first. Transmog is forever, BiS gear is temporary.


:dagger: Raiding Goals

We’ll stick to Normal and Heroic. Our main goal is Ahead of the Curve, but without losing sight of the fun along the way. Mythic raiding? Not here. Ever.

After AotC, we’ll chase Glory of the Raider. In between we do whatever sounds fun — M+ runs, delves, mount farms, transmog contests, Discord quiz nights — if it makes us laugh, it’s on the table.


:alarm_clock: Raid Times and Expectations

We raid Wednesday and Sunday from 21:00 to 23:00 server time.

In a small team, showing up matters, but real life always wins. Family first. Just be reliable and let us know if you can’t make it.


:pushpin: Recruitment Needs

Tanks: Closed
Healers: Closed
DPS: Closed

(We are currently at capacity, but we are always on the lookout for great people. Exceptional applications that perfectly match our “Quality over Quantity” vibe will always be considered!)

Group applications are fine, just don’t form cliques. We wipe together.


:memo: Final Words

Yes, this post is long. But so is a +2 when Steve pulls the wrong pack and we all die, twice.

If you’re still reading, you’ve probably committed your first act of rebellion against the sacred spreadsheets, and you might just belong here.

Join us, wipe with us, and let’s build a guild where fun matters more than decimals.

If that sounds like your kind of chaos, hop into our Discord and fill out the short application form in the #applications channel so we can get to know you before pulling you into the madness.

Bonus points if you actually call yourself Steve.

(If you apply during the day, it may take until the evening to get a reply since I’m probably at work. Or wiping in LFR. Same thing really.)

:musical_note: The OOPS Inc Guild Anthem

Oops!.. I did it again
Pulled the wrong pack
Wiped all my friends
Oh baby, baby

Oops!.. you think it’s all clear
But I dragged adds in here
I’m not that competent

Some new faces have appeared, a few laughs have been shared, and the Discord’s starting to wake up…

We’re off to a good start, but we’d love more company to make the guild feel alive both in Azeroth and on Discord.

Join OOPS Inc — where “Occasionally Organized” is the goal, not the promise…

#$&%@!

OOPS!

I must have hit the wrong buttons again.
While I’m here; are you looking for a new guild?
This one’s new, still kinda small and very serious about not being serious.
I’ve been enjoying myself here, maybe you will too. :smiley:

Recruitment is still moving at a relaxed, OOPS-approved pace: slow and steady, like Steve trying to find the raid entrance…
We know most people are probably waiting for Midnight to roll around, but we’re still here, chatting, planning and keeping the lights (and memes) on.

OOPS Inc is still recruiting! We’re building a small, social and slightly chaotic team to hit the ground running when Midnight launches.

Join now, laugh early, wipe later.

How can I join? I dont see you in guild finder

Of course you can! Pop into our Discord. Discord Code 3ESXy4fdGn :smiley:

Sadly not available on Saturday and Sunday .so that will not work for me but thx for offer though

That’s alright! I hope you find the right guild for you! :smiley:

Might I suggest After Hours? They raid only on weekdays. :wink:

Quick update: apparently we’re becoming an Alliance daycare.

Horde players, please report in before they start painting everything blue.

I’ve stocked up on blue paint.
Don’t worry, non-Hordies! You’re all very welcome too. :lion::blue_square:

I think it’s time for a little update!

We’ve had a vote and our guild’s neighborhood is on the Alliance side. (Which doesn’t mean Hordies aren’t welcome. I know for sure our leader would love more red in the guild.)

We’ve been doing some dungeons and delves together, had a little “who has the best house” competition and are currently doing a “Hollidays Transmog” competition.

Our discord is quite active with discussions going all over the place from “Tea from a microwave is evil and the right flavor or Monster Energy is hard to find” to “DK Mains are all scene kids from 15 years ago”.

So, yeah! I’ve been here about a month now and I’ve been having fun. :smiley:

Recruitment has really picked up recently and to stay true to my word of trying to keep the team on the smaller side, raid recruitment is closed for now!

Socials are always welcome.

Midnight drops in just a few days!

We were trying to prep our UI’s and read up on the new classes, but Steve already managed to die to a target dummy…so while we wait for him to run back, i figured i’d push this thread back to the top.

Good news: our healers are locked in! We are now just looking for these final puzzle pieces before the new expansion hits:

  • A brave Raid Leader (to explain the mechanics, and to tell Steve where not to stand). No pressure: if the plan fails, we just blame it on Steve anyway.
  • A few DPS (to actually kill the bosses while we laugh at Steve).

A quick note on those DPS spots: We are currently drowning in Plate and Leather wearers. If you happen to play a Cloth class, you will be showered in loot.

However, our golden rule is always “bring the player, not the class.” We would much rather have an awesome person in Plate than a jerk in a dress. If you fit the OOPS vibe, play whatever makes you happy!

Get in before the inevitable launch-day server crashes! Come join the chaos: the Discord link is in the main post. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Well… recruitment went way better than expected! We’ve gathered an amazing crew of professional floor inspectors for the Midnight launch.

Because our raid team is now nearing completion, we are closing down raid recruitment.

We want to keep the group tight-knit, social, and manageable. We’ll only leave a tiny window open for exceptional applications (if you are the ultimate anti-meta team player and fit the OOPS vibe perfectly, we might try to squeeze you in).

Also: Please, no more Mages. Steve is already confused enough by all the random portals, and we don’t need any more people begging our poor priests for Power Infusion. We are at max capacity for arcane nonsense.

See you all in Midnight!

(ps: social recruitment is always open)

Hello,

I really love what I’ve seen about your guild and hope you have a spot for me as a social player, but one who might want to take the plunge and - eventually - try a few dungeons maybe with guildmates maybe?

I’m almost always a solo player, and have recently returned to WoW after a long break, but it does get a little lonely so some in-game chat and laughs would be most welcome. I’ve tried to apply via guild finder since I’m not at all comfortable with Discord (I hope that’s not a problem) but couldn’t find your guild. Is it closed?

I really hope I can join you guys, you sound like a lot of fun. :smiley:

Greeetings, you majectic masters of magic, maiming and many more marvelous machinations!

Are you about to hit the Silvermoon streets when the clock strikes Midnight? So are we!
We’ll be hitting the clubs, the people and the hookahs!

But everyone knows a party’s not a party if you go at it alone!
So you are hereby invited to paint the town red!

Yes I know the town is already kinda red, but that’s because these elves know how to have a good time. Have you seen the Eyes Wide Shut bar in Murder Row?

Real life happened! A few of our members had a shift in priorities recently, opening up some unexpected spots in our Midnight roster. We are taking this opportunity to find players who really value playing together. Quality over quantity!

What we are looking for:

  • DPS: Anything but Mages and Paladins. We are still at maximum capacity for accidental portals and bubbled hearthstones.

  • 1 Healer: Someone with the patience of a saint to keep us alive while we actively try to stand in the bad stuff.

  • Active Socials: If you like running M+ and talking nonsense in Discord after work, you are our kind of player.

  • A Raid Leader: Someone to point us in the right direction before we inevitably pull the wrong boss and blame Steve.

Sounds like your kind of vibe? Then have a look at our main post at the top to find out more about us.

(Please note: The recruitment info regarding open/full spots in the main post at the top of this thread is our single source of truth. It will always be updated to reflect our real-time recruitment status!)

Here is a bump from one of the first members of this guiild. So far I say to you the ones interested in joining. This guild has very friendly and active social vibes. The mindset is very opening and chill so do not try to sweat if we would do some content together. All in all I like it here. Usually I don’t join new guild since they are very socially inactive and fall of quick but this one really picked up speed and it became quite the community that I am glad to be a part of.

I recommend OOPS Inc to all returning WoW veterans! I joined the guild a few months ago after a break of more than 4 years. Because of my small kids I don’t have as much time for the game as I used to, and this guild is the perfect place where the community is very open and understanding.

I encourage you to join. If you’re housing enthusiasts, I’d be very happy to play with you in our Oopsville!

See you in the game!

Just a quick update from the OOPS crew!

Our raid roster is currently at capacity, but we are always on the lookout for great people. Exceptional applications that perfectly match our “Quality over Quantity” vibe will always be considered!

Social Recruitment remains OPEN! :clinking_beer_mugs: While the raid team might be packed, our doors are always open for active Socials. If you are the type of player who likes running M+, doing some casual group content, and talking nonsense in Discord after work, you are exactly our kind of player. We are looking for people who actively want to play and hang out together!

If this sounds like your ideal way to play the game then give our main post a read. You’ll find out how to apply at the bottom.
