WoW: GWJ Alliance Guild Primer

Greetings all... long time GWJ Lurker here... I'm fairly new at playing WOW, and have mostly been soloing. I don't know all the lingo and am trying to find a guild of GWJ'ers... I'm on the aerie peak Realm. How can I join up?

Howdy, PathBeast.

Most of the GWJers (the few still playing, that is) are over on Blackhand-Alliance. There are a few on Blackhand-Horde.

You can transfer your toon or re-roll. Those are the old-school ways of doing it.

Somewhere (and I can't put my hands on the link) is a Google Docs spreadsheet with everyone's Battletags on it. That's a more recent development that, sadly, I've never used. (It's supposed to let you group across servers.)

Thank you Enix! I appreciate it!

I have wow toons on Dalaran Alliance, and Area 52 Horde. Over the past couple years I've raided regularly with the same 10 man gang that I've been playing with since the game's release, though obviously it's been a smaller and smaller group as time has passed.

Now I'm not sure if we're going to have enough interest to continue, and if we do it'll be later rather than sooner. I play a ret paladin with holy offspec, and I actually have 2 of them. I am considering moving one if there is still GWJ activity on Blackhand.

Regarding playtime as of late, we've basically done 10 man normal stuff twice per week for 3 hours per. So not a ton, but that's pretty much what my schedule can accommodate these days.

Thanks

If anyone can give me a list of current guild officers that would be grand. Working on getting primer update for new release.

Zyphos (one of Reaper's alts) is still the actual GM.

Carg (Keldar on the forums) and Selika (kilianash) have been the two most active officers, though Carg hasn't been on in a while. Hack and Youko have resurfaced.

All of the folks you have listed under officers in the OP are no longer playing (at least on BH-A).

I hope that helps some.

Rich, you can drop the time requirement from Fairy Princess. For the most part, we just get people in and going these days. Thanks for updating this!

Hi, I joined last night. What level should I be to start doing raids with you guys? I'm a level 10 Worgen Rogue with a focus in Assassination.

Done and done, old bean.

Hey, I am getting back into WoW after not playing since Wrath. I was in the guild then and my character name is Hoptimus. It would be awesome to start playing with all of you. I am online now if any of the officers are on.

Hi everyone. I'm currently level 90 and have a wargen Mage on an Ocieanic server. I'm interesting in participating in the GWJ guild if there are still people playing.

So my question - is the guild still active?
If so, can I join and do some dungeons, questing etc. I've never raided but would like to give it a go.

Cheers

Hello Phil!

We are quite active and are currently building a raid group to start when Highmaul drops! Please sign up on the forums post if you are interested in raiding. And of course, feel free to let me know if you have questions.

Thanks!
Kel

Richy, can you replace Carg with me in the post? (Hackworth)

I'm hoping just mentioning Carg's name (Keldar! Here this and be summoned!) will attract his attention, but right now I'm on quite a bit.

Tykindly.

"Here this"? You're lucky you didn't summon Wordy instead.

Lol it worked!!!

Are you guys cleaning the guild roster of inactive members?!
Lots of guild kicks in GWJ this morning!

Looks that way. Guild's now down to under 500 toons after being above 700 for a while now.

The good news is that there are usually 20+ folks on every night. That's a great thing.

Lol yes we did do some house cleaning. Hate to have an old account get hacked and lose the gbank!

I think I'm luckier I don't write for a living!

... sh*t.

Hey folks, getting back into WoW since I dabbled a bit in Cata. I'm thinking about using my level 90 boost so I can join you guys for raiding and such but wanted to know ahead of time if there are any particular roles or classes the guild is in need of. I'm usually a healer, so I'll probably go that route, but I'm open to anything. Right now I'm thinking priest or pally... any suggestions?

Roll the class/role that you want to play and then play it.

Hack (aka Michael Zenke on the boards) is leading the raids these days and can give you a more definitive answer. But I suspect he'll tell you to play something you like.

If you like running 5-mans and LFR, there's a premium these days on tanks and healers. That always has been the case, but it seems more pronounced.

Man, it's still $25 for a server transfer? Sigh, $75 to transfer all 3 of my Alliance toons seems a steep price.

I'm likely to transfer at least one so I can be a bit less lonely while going through the Cata/MoP content (which is a blast). Do I need to b.net friend the officers in the OP for a guild invite, or has that info changed?

EDIT: Nevermind, I decided to just transfer one for now and I'll ping the listed officers.

Right now, I think we have one Paladin, one druid, two monks, and one to two priests. We shuffle between healing and dps depending on who shows up. I would pick whichever has the dps offspec you also like as well because of the nature of our group.

I do subscribe to "play what you enjoy" as well. We are doing personal loot in raids, so we could have 30 plate wearers and it wouldn't matter.

I joined the guild last night! I am a dwarf!

Hey guys, just signed back up a few months ago. Haven't played since Cata. Got my DK up to 100, kinda geared toward tanking (iLvl 644 currently) and was interested in getting back into it with the guild. Anyone with invite privileges, feel free to hit me up on Rethgar (my dk) or at Godren#1177. Thanks!

Welcome back!

If you're on the Blackhand or Galakrond servers, Alliance side, do a /who GWJ and see who's around. I'm on at odd times. Raids are Tuesday and Thursday night at 8 p.m. server; that's a guaranteed time when officers are on.

Edit: I just noticed that this post is a week old and you probably got a guild invite or rage quit in disgust already. I'll leave this post up for anyone else who might stumble on this thread.

...stumble....

I started playing with the Enforcer's guild, but I'd like to build a toon for playing with you guys, too. I see you're on Blackhand and that you're Alliance. Any other restrictions/requirements? What level should I get to before I bother you guys?

Worth pinging for an invite more or less immediately, for the guild chatter and the mount speed boost, if nothing else

Incoming....!

SWTOR has bored me to tears. The content is marginally interesting but there just aren't enough people playing to make it fun. /g reminds me of Tom Hanks talking to Wilson.

I'm hoping WoW can grab my interest for a bit... I played MOP after a couple years off. I bailed when I hit 600 pets. Or 500 pets? Whatever it was. Anyways, I'm rolling a Shadow Priest on Blackhand-A. Hopefully there are entertaining people about to chat with!

I just logged in for the first time in a long time, and TheWalt had sent me a message about six weeks ago about some kind of trouble in Ventrilo with WoW players. If that was any of you.... that was definitely not me. If it said Malor, it was either unicode characters, or someone malicious from GWJ that knew I was gone, and used my account to screw with you folks without getting caught.

I'm going to ask TheWalt to disable the account, now that I've thought about it for a few minutes, since I haven't used it in so very long.

I can certainly be grumpy and disagreeable, but I am NOT a griefer.
