Way of the Sword is now recruiting new members!
October 2008
We are currently accepting applications for new members in an effort to add a few quality players. Please read our General Description and Goals below. If you think this might be a place where you would enjoy spending some time and playing World of Warcraft, please submit an application by clicking the link on the left under Guild Recruitment.
General Description
Way of the Sword is a guild of casual players who have banded together in an effort to enjoy the game with good people in a friendly atmosphere. Most players have careers and families, and several have known one another for years prior to playing World of Warcraft. The guild is based on Steamwheedle Cartel, a US Role-playing server. While the guild does not focus on role-playing, it respects those that do, and does not affiliate itself with groups or people who would disrupt such activities.
The guild supports both PvE and PvP play, though most members focus on content preparing for and related to small group (10-person) raiding. The guild has scheduled events, but does not enforce any attendance policy. Additionally, members are encouraged to create and manage events according to their schedules. This has allowed many people to gain experience playing several different classes and roles, as well as fostering a strong sense of teamwork and “guild-first” mentality among the membership.
Being able to talk to one another about subjects outside of the game, having fun while joking around or trying to finish an instance, and possessing the maturity to resolve differences and/or admit mistakes in a responsible manner are all important values shared by the members. Advancement through the ranks is based on commitment to the guild and its activities, not who somebody knows or what gear they might have.
Goals
The primary goals for Way of the Sword center around the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. With the expected release of several 10-man raids, Way of the Sword is going to continue and focus on these end-game opportunities. As a result, concentrating our efforts on player development and a renewed focus on questing and character advancement are going to be at the forefront of our efforts once Wrath goes live. Preparing ourselves to complete the 10-man raids, and successfully facing the various challenges associated with that objective, is expected to remain our focus for several months into 2009.
