Hi everyone!
This is another long post about my plans for Classic and what I want to do. A little about me, I'm a 20 year old college student and I recently only started playing WoW. Personally I'd love to finish all of the raids since I never played during Vanilla (or at all until recently), so I'm basically a big noob when it comes to Vanilla.
I logged onto a pserver to try out some classes up to 20 to get a feel for them before I decided and now I'm dead set on mage.
But more importantly I decided I'm going to try to create a guild and become a guild master on my server and to try to become one of the top guilds there
This will be very difficult for me since, when it comes to Classic, I don't have a lot of experience and the same goes when it comes to leading a guild.
Which is why I've come to here, the good old Barrens Chat looking for advice and maybe for some people to join me in my effort to create a guild from the ground up with nothing previous to prop ourselves up with.
I'm going to be playing on a PvP server in EU and I'll be playing Alliance. I have no determined raid times since it's still just myself at the moment but I hope to expand and thrive.
If anyone is interested please either reply here or join my brand new discord server (which I hope will fill up soon it's just some bots at the moment)
My discord is Apol#3512

Reading through my post it probably looks amateurish compared to all the other posts, but that's because it is. I don't have a previous guild to bring with me into classic, just a few friends that I know, so yes this guild does not and hasn't existed before but I think that's a good thing. Classic is meant to be a fresh start and I'd love for everyone here to join me
While we already have a guild megathread, here are my 2 coppers when it comes to guild leading and game knowledge.
Background on me: I lead my guild during end-TBC and mid Wotlk. It got merged with another active raid group mid Wotlk so we were able to clear all raids. I was also the raid leader for almost all of Wotlk. I plan to start a casual-ish guild for Classic.
You absolutely don't need any experience to make a guild! It is a learning experience; you get to know people, have to make tought decisions and while it's not for everyone, some people love that experience.
That being said, if you are aiming to become a top guild, you will need people who know what they are doing. This means raid leaders, officers, class leaders who know the game well. And sorry to be blunt, but what do you bring to the table, if not the game knowledge or guild leader experience? I understand your enthusiasm, but if I had to suggest anything I would say join a serious guild, be open about what your experiences are and that you are willing to learn. Otherwise you will have to rely on people around you to get anything done, and that will become extremely taxing on your raid and class leaders and officers (they will be already busy doing their job, and now plus they have to keep you informed).
Gallow Thanks for the feedback. After reading what you said and rereading my post I suppose I could have phrased it slightly differently. I intend to be one of the better guilds on the server.
Maybe not near the top but definitely a guild that people go "oh yeah I know a few people in Frost. They're pretty good I wouldn't mind doing a few things with them"
I'm not sure if I got my point across in my explanation there.
In terms of what I can bring to the table I'd honestly say not a lot in terms of Classic knowledge but in terms of general skill if like to think I'm near the top and I pick up things VERY fast. For example in modern WoW (I know, imagine still playing BFA), I started a monk and within a few weeks of having no knowledge of the class i was tanking, clearing heroic and a bit of mythic.
Apol in that case all's good! Just be clear and frank with your guildies and it should all come naturally in time.
Managing 40 people in a raid can be challenging, so I suggest looking up some guides for that. But time is the best experience ;p
Good luck.

VISION
Looking for a guild who is taking a week off commitments & focusing purely on grinding launch w/ a dedicated core that is planning to attempt MC within a week of launch?

We will attempt to research into what will be the most competitive high-pop server and roll to dominate. The vision of the guild is simple; To create a cohesive community of talented players who excel at all of the content that Classic WoW has to offer; From MC to Naxx; BGs to World PvP. If you want a guild w/ sub-30min MC clears, look no further, you’ve read the right post.

<Tastes Like Vanilla> | Horde | NA | Raiding on PVP server | Semi-Hardcore
<Introduction>
We are a Semi-Hardcore guild. We have exp in Vanilla raiding from private servers. We will have an EPGP system in place with loot council. We will be rolling on a PVP server but our focus will be Raiding. We are Semi-Hardcore. We all have Jobs/careers/families. So we do not require people to spend all their time in the game. But we do expect that people are not wasting the time of everyone else.
<Raid times>
Wednesday, Sunday, Monday from 8:30PM EST to 10:30PM EST
<What we expect>
We expect that people show up for raid and are able to listen to direction. We will require people to have the necessary consumables. When people start hitting 60, raid times will be used to split into groups to help people get the gear needed to head into MC.
<Culture>
If you are easily offended, this is not the place for you. If you do not like being told not to stand in fire, this is not the place for you. If you like to relax and have a fun time while also having the expectation that we need to perform at a high level while we are raiding, then this is the place for you. Trolling each other is encouraged as long as it doesn't effect the raid and as long as people respect others boundaries. In other words, be an adult and if someone asks you to stop, then stop. "We aim to misbehave."

I'm starting a "Unofficial" guild for whatever the biggest PvP server on NA is.
It'll be called <Goldshire Country Club> and it'll be a premium Pugging service which will be ran by my core of peeps. Goal is the be the #1 pug raids on the server and offer memberships to secure spots for the raids in exchange for a fee. (Club member).
We plan to eventually have 2 raids running for 40 mans. (Buddy and I plan to have 2 mains so we can lead in both raids).
A lot of it is in the works but thats our plan at the moment. Our core doesn't really plan to be in a actual guild until AQ+ mainly due to us ranking to 13/14 and seeing pugging raids and making money off it the best option for us. :D
It'll be pretty Roleplay at the same time aswell.
Hey all,
whether you're a GM or a player LFGuild, I recommend you check out classicraids.com. We're a relatively new site on the block and our goal is to ease the guild recruitment aspect of Classic WoW. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or feature requests!

Heralds of Time
Horde | North America PvP Server | Semi-Hardcore Raiding Guild
You may send me a Private Message here on Barrens.chat, or on Discord Eredun#6649 (Please Direct Message me, not just send a friend request)
We are currently looking at a 8:15PM EST to 11:30PM EST raiding schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Hi! Heralds of Time will be a guild focused around pushing the latest content at a pace close to Hardcore, the primary difference is that we don't have plans to use every single World Buff for raiding, but we will still use heads in Orgrimmar, or the warchief buff, when possible. Our loot system will be a mixture of EP/GP and Loot Council, Loot Council will be used for high end items and legendaries, things that will be BiS for multiple phases or are immensely rare.
We will likely start off slowly, as we will still be heavily recruiting when the game launches. We won't truly slap on that Semi-Hardcore label until Phase 2, and hope to be completely in working order by the release of Blackwing Lair. I want to create a friendly atmosphere, but not a casual one. We will not allow drama stirrers or people who constantly flame in chat channels. The only hate you should bring is a hate against the enemy faction or the bosses you are fighting. You still must pull your weight, and if not you will be benched and potentially eventually removed. I expect everyone to be playing regularly, working to improve their gear.
Discord voice chat required for listening, but a microphone is not required (it's a 40 man after all)
FADE EU-Gehennas-PvP is recruiting for Classic WoW
EU | Horde | PVP | Semi-HC | 18+
Raid Times
Sun 20:00 - 23:30 CET (Phase 1-2)
Thu/Sun 20:00 - 23:30 CET (Phase 3+)
Raids and guild will be lead by old vanilla top dogs and latest private realm speedrunners that decided to step down a notch and take it semi-hardcore this time while still clearing all content and enjoying the game.
We plan on joining a high population server but NOT the one with streamers or other celebrities.
While we usually act as a friends and family guild, we do however take our raid team/s seriously and with that said - we expect you to bring all the consumables, keep yourself up to date with your class, farm pre-raid BiS gear and listen to your raid leader. Also, we do expect you to be there 20-30 min before official raid start time prepared and ready to be invited to the raid group. We opted in for 1 day a week during Phase 1 and 2, then switching to 2 days a week afterwards and we got no time to waste by slackers.
Core of the guild is made of adults (30y+), people with family and kids who value their time. There is absolutely no place for toxic or arrogant players here, if you plan on raging, not listening, pissing people off - don't bother with us.
All classes are currently welcome - need rogues mostly though (funny enough).
We are currently around 65 members on our discord, but we plan on bringing atleast as many people as we can for Classic Launch on 27th of August.
Finally, even though we are focused on raiding, we are also open to casual/social players who just want a safe and friendly place to enjoy the game their way - being it PvP, dungeons, or simply leveling/questing.
Feel free to join the Discord: https://discord.gg/VcS9rSP
If you are serious about it and want to be a part of us - whisper me (Gaap) or any of the officers.

Loot:
We're aiming to use EPGP loot system, which tends to put the loot where it's deserved and needed, which fits our approach to gaming.
Introduction:
Hi, We're a group of IRL friends based mostly in the UK, we're a mix of Classic Veterans, late-comers and first timers, we run a small multi-gaming community on Discord and we're coming to relive our days of vanilla WoW in force!
About us:
We're hardcore about community, we just want to enjoy the game and work to succeed together, we are preparing for running raids as soon as possible, but we're putting ourselves under no pressure to rush.
We're more focused on helping and collaborating with other new friends, to raise everyone up to raiding standard, be it through advice/coaching, or help with getting gear.
It's important to us that people feel at home in our community, we make sure all members are familiar with our community guidelines, aiming to keep things fun and civil, as officers/raid-leaders our aim is to provide a consistently fair and considerate environment for everyone, this goes for discourse as well as loot distribution.
About you:
We don't make many demands, we would rather that all members be 21+, but younger applicants may be considered.
You are dependable, we will secure your slot prior to the raid start, players that can't be depended on can't expect for us to secure them space.
You are willing to contribute, no strict commitments, but helping other members with advice/coaching/gear/patterns/consumables is appreciated.

About us:
<Misfits> is a freshly made guild, made by a collection of people that have been playing with one another over the years and have been playing wow since the very beginning, our main goal for making this guild is to clear all PvE content in classic wow and looking for like minded people to help each other achieve this goal. We are not looking to go for server firsts or reach 60 within a ludicrous time. We want to make a guild where everyone can play the endgame. Together.
What we are looking for:
Prior raiding experience is a plus but we deem knowledge of your class, preparation outside of raids, your willingness to learn, helping other members and representing yourself and the guild in a positive manner far more greater qualities.
We will consider members of any class/spec
What we can offer you:
We can offer you a place to experience all the PvE content classic wow has to offer. Striving to complete the current content before the next phase is released, also providing an environment where you will feel that you can relax and have fun with other members of the guild.
Loot Council:
The guild will be using a loot council. We believe this to be the fairest way of distributing loot and represents the guild’s core views: The more you put in the more you get out.

<No Plan Required> [EU] [PvP] [A]
No Plan Required is an Alliance EU-PvP guild that intends to aim high in Classic. If you’re looking for a relaxed raiding environment with a pinch of competition involved, or a social enclave to hide from your severe depression, then you’ve hit the jackpot.
What to Expect
The main idea of the guild is to create a community where casual players and hardcore players can co-exist and succeed - but the utmost importance is that we all have fun doing it, and we do it properly. We hope to establish an atmosphere where the raiders will not miss out on the end-game experience and have the opportunity to show their capabilities. Although we hold heavy emphasis on PvE content, PvP will not be absent from the guild’s many activities. As for our activities, our members are not expected to, but are encouraged to join us as we embark on many open world journeys!
Raid days
Tuesday and Thursday - 8.50 pm until midnight GMT+1
Recruitment focus
Our roster currently needs:
2 Priests (holy/disc)
2 Druids (resto)
1 Paladin (holy)
2 Warriors (fury)
1 Rogue
1 Warlock
Don’t see your class/spec among these? Don’t worry. It’s still early and the roster is very much temporary. We prefer reliable, sociable people over having the perfect roster. As such, “meme specs” are allowed within conditions.
We are still looking for an extra raid leader in case you are experienced and interested.

If you're a new player who wants to make their first leap into WoW, a Veteran who wants to be able to slow down, get more immersed, even help teach some noobs a bit, or even if you want to explore min/max-ing in a more forgiving environment, you’re welcome here! Any Class, any spec, as long as you’re looking to make friends, we want you
