Welcome to the home of the gang!

Quick backstory on us: We were part of a larger group of friends on Thekal who started classic with the wotlk fresh servers. We had a blast leveling and playing through Naxx and early Ulduar. As time went on more and more people dropped off which led to the eventual disband of the previous guild. Those of us who still wanted to play stuck together and teamed up with a second group from another disbanding guild. Together we created and the Gang and rode out the last few weeks before Thekals demise. Since then we've been recruiting a bunch more players and have found a new home here on Earthshaker. We're excited about pushing ourselves in ICC and what lies beyond!

So what are our goals and what do we expect of the people playing with us? Many of us have been playing WoW for a very long time and for some of us it's part of who we are. Classic is where we can chill out and have some fun together with banter, jokes and memes. So our goal is simply put to rapidly clear new content and constantly having fun. A lot of us like to push our limits and see how well we can parse while understanding that it is a team game where everyone does what they're supposed to down the boss.

So for anyone wanting to join us we hope you share our values. We want people who can join in on the banter and the jokes while keeping a high level of play. We want you to be able to focus up when needed and to do what you're assigned to do. And since our goal is to clear the content as quickly as possible, we also spend the extra raid day on the PTR when it is available. And when the raid is on farm, we always host a voluntary alt raid on the extra day.

Loot: We currently use a loot council whos goal is to maximise our raid performance. Without being a completely exhaustive list, here are some of the key metrics they look at:

• Performance. Higher performing players can usually squeeze a little bit extra out of the gear.
• Attendance/Guild contribution. If you're constantly here and helping out you're going to have a large impact on the raid and should be geared accordingly.
• Fairness. We try to make sure everyone gets some pieces, we don't want people to feel like they're never getting loot.
• Size of the upgrade. If someones gear's been left behind due to bad luck, they'll get a bigger bump.

Bullet point requirements for the tl;dr people:

• Team mentality. If you need to make a personal sacrifice for the greater good then you do it.
• Attendance. We get it, there's a life outside of WoW. But we expect you to make most of the raids.
• Punctuality. When we say that we start at 19:00, that's when we start. If you're late, you're wasting 24 other people's time.
• Preparation. Know tactics, have consumables, professions, class knowledge. The standard stuff.
• Play seriously. We know it's a game to have fun, but don't make other people's time the joke. Don't go trolling or AFKing constantly.

Raid times are as follows:

• Thursdays 19-23. We're usually done way before 23, mostly for progression.
• Sundays 19-23. This is the alt raid on farm and mandatory during progression.

Currently looking for:

• Any good player. If you're good we can find a spot for you.
• A tank. Class doesn't matter, we'll make it work.
