I've been thinking about this for a bit and I wanted to write this so that
all people who browse our site can see it. Despite what has been said about us
from a particular guild, (who shall not be named because I do not believe in
public defamation) we are still growing. Several of our new members have asked
me "What is forgotten?" Well, we are not a hard core raiding guild. If that's
what you are looking for then you might be suited better elsewhere.
Let me give you a bit of insight. When I formed this guild several years ago,
the officers and I didn't want a guild where we would be told "You can't do
this, and if you do you will be punished. There is no use to QQ." or "We are
your only hope of raiding." Pardon me, but to be utterly frank, what a crock of
bullshit. No guild is anyone's "Only hope of raiding" to think that you are an
elitist son of a bitch. So by now you are asking so wtf is forgotten. Well, we
are a casual raiding guild. Yes, but what does that mean. Well, raiding is not a
requirement of our members. We feel that raiding should not become a "Job."
However when we do raid, we expect you to be ready and to take it seriously.
Then again, don't take it so seriously that if we don't down a boss that it's
the end of the world. This is a GAME, GAMES are meant to be RELAXING. If we
spend all of our time stressing over not getting a boss down the first try then
we aren't going to have fun. Fun is what this game is about. So we want to have
a raiding guild yet in a relaxing fun environment. How do we do that? Easy, you
have a family. That's what this guild is a family. I consider everyone from the
officers to the level 10 alts as valuable as the other. No one is more important
or has more "use" than anyone else.
For instance, we recently had an event where a friend was treated badly by
their guild. They joined us recently and I'm extremely happy they did. It's sad
that things had to happen they way the did, but I'm sure that they will be
better for the long run. The bottom line is, I don't want a war to start.
However, I will not hesitate to protect our members from "Elitist Jerk
Attitude." If you start shit against my members you are starting it against me.
I want all of my members to be happy and have fun in a safe environment. I will
not let any person or guild stop that, if you don't believe me...try me.
