So, my guild went kablooey this week. I'm posting here mostly just looking for sympathy and stories from other members on how they handled this sort of thing, but I suppose if someone had a guild/server to recommend that would suit my boyfriend and I, they'd be welcome.
( the story: RIP my awesome guild, or, a tale of elitist misogynistic douchebaggery. Warning: will be long )TL;DR version: awesome guild is killed by an elitist misogynistic douchebag with a completely undeserved ego the size of Texas. I'm one of the few denied an invite to the replacement guild, due to me being a woman who doesn't put up with BS and likes the fact that the old guild didn't require hours of commitment and min-maxing. Changes screw over my bf too. Crap server gives us very little options.
So! Maybe we can find a server/guild that suits our needs; here's the pertinent details:
Me:
Inaara, healy type priest (holy/disc, but I prefer to raid disc) is my main, but I'm a total altaholic with 7 other 80s. Would need a raid schedule that is not too heavy - 3 nights a week max, no Monday nights, and needs to be finished no later than 10pm (this is an absolute must). Friendly environment, no asshattery/elitism, etc. I can start raiding anytime after 4pm PST.
My bf:
Dalomere, prot/ret pally. He works 3-11 M-F, and would love to find a guild that starts raids around midnight and going for 3ish hours or so. He's got experience with everything up to the first wing of ICC10, due to pugging almost everything.
We want to stay horde, and the only server we can't move to is Lightbringer (all my alliance toons are there and I have no room for my hordies). No PVP servers either, please... my blood pressure can't handle it. :) Yes, we have vastly different schedules, we're not expecting to find a guild to meet both our needs, but if you meet the needs of one of us and know there are guilds on your server that can meet the other, we're not adamant on staying in the same guild as long as we're on the same server.
So, any recommendations? :)
Also, there isn't enough people left to form a new guild capable of even running 10-mans, nor anyone who has the time/energy/knowledge to devote to running it either. Some people took off immediately or joined the #3 guild on the server (who I won't consider an option).
