A new guild, a fresh start
By Rob Jones | August 4, 2010
My girlfriend and I have started a completely new World of Warcraft guild and we have officially opened recruitment yesterday! In our first evening we had some interest already and we’ve even had some applications before the first 24-hours have gone by! That makes me hopeful for the future and hopefully we will be able to stir the interest of many more people and lure them into our newly built home! 
So without further ado, a shameless plug for A Drop of Rain! We’re a Horde guild on the European Quel’Thalas realm. Our new home can be found at http://ador-guild.storminajar.net! Here’s our recruitment statement:
Greetings,
<A Drop of Rain> is a new raiding guild on the European realm Quel’Thalas, and we’re what you would call a smartcore guild.
We aim to be a progression guild with a hardcore attitude during raids, meaning we take our guild progression seriously and want to clear the available content within reasonable time, while retaining a casual and friendly atmosphere inside and outside of the guild.
We’re starting from scratch and don’t have a single team of raiders yet, but that’s okay, because we’re aiming to be a Cataclysm raiding guild and aren’t worried about clearing WotLK content at this point in time. However, if we get enough people, we’ll visit ICC and RS and attempt to clear them.
So, in order to be ready and prepared for the launch of Cataclysm, we’re looking to recruit players. However, we won’t be taking in just any player; you need to show that you’re capable of meeting our standards as a raider and that you’d be dedicated to helping the guild clear content. We don’t want to be a casual guild that takes in people who sign for one or two raids, don’t read up on tactics and then don’t sign up any more. We want a team of dedicated people who work together and have the same goals – to clear the content with skilled players without the elitist attitudes, toward guildies as well as non-guildies.
Currently, we’d like to recruit enough people to be able to do 25 man raids, but we’re obviously aware that we won’t be able to do that right away and we’re cool with only doing 10 mans to start with. Regardless of whether we’re doing 10 and/or 25 mans, we’d like to do heroic modes as well. So, because we’re starting from scratch and because we need to build up our team(s), we require people who have enough patience to wait until we’re ready to start raiding.
We’re welcoming re-rollers as well. People from the Alliance and even from other realms are welcome to apply if our goals as a guild spark an interest. Even if you decide to make a new character and make that your main for Cataclysm, and even if you start that new character now or when Cataclysm comes out, you’re welcome to apply as long as you’re sure that we’re the right guild for you and that you’ll stick with us patiently. We’ll also be taking our team(s) of recruits (level 80s, obviously) through Ulduar hardmodes to test how well each member deals with different situations.
So, now that you’ve gotten this far and know what we’re all about, we’ll list what we’re recruiting…
Everything!
If you’d like to learn more about us and/or apply, please visit our website at http://ador-guild.storminajar.net Please take the time to look around, we appreciate people who put in the time to get to know guilds as well as possible before applying.
If after exploring the website you have any unanswered questions, please contact either myself on Survar / Sparxolife, or Grognak.
Thanks for your time, and may you have epic adventures! RP lolwut.
What are you waiting for?! Come on folks, make us the best guild that has ever existed!
