Our Guild's Anti-Pug Experiment

I took an idea from Two and a Half Orcs and molded it to fit our guild. The idea (you can read their's here) was to have a group of players get together on a new realm and all start from scratch and play as a group once a week. I tailored it to fit our guild and then pitched the idea. I got a great response. Our guild has a few level 70's a few mid 60's and lots of lowbies. Out of our guild members of 60 something we managed to make a 5 man team. Not too bad for a small guild I guess.


I asked for ideas from the members about faction, class, etc. This is what we came up with.

-We made alts on the server Zangarmarsh.
(So no one has help from higher levels or friends there)

-We rolled Horde.
(Being as we all have alliance characters and horde is unfamiliar it's like starting the game all over!)

-We ended up with a group of 5.
(and a greater bunch of people there isn't)

Rogue-Undead
Shaman-Troll
Hunter-Blood Elf
Paladin-Blood Elf
Warrior-Troll
Mage-? (boss and close friend of our rogue, haven't met them yet!)

Mage-Troll ( quit, didn't like anything about the horde)
Blood Elf-Priest? (haven't seen them at all so not sure if they are participating)

-We agreed to level to level 10 and meet in Ogrimmar.
-We run our little group on Friday's at 8 EST.
-We all agree to start with gathering professions at first.
-We hope to get enough with us to make a guild eventually but that isn't our main goal.
-We will take half of our gathered mats to sell for cash and half to keep for later professions.
-We will not level beyond each other more than one-half to one level.
-We will always share as a whole (kinda like you share all your things with your own alts)
-We are a group- not a single individual.
-We will start out in Ogrimmar and quest from there. (at level 10)
-Working on professions can be done away from the group night, as long as you do not gain xp and level.
-Fishing, Cooking and First Aid is recommended for all the characters.

I will be posting more as this rolls along and hopefully we will get some excitement going on in the rest of the guild and can maybe catch up any later stragglers before we all get too far in levels. (otherwise it will be no different than the guild we have now on the alliance side!)


We are going into this knowing most of it isn't set in stone and may have to be adapted. We will just see how it goes. As it is, everyone is really psyched up and has already been hard at work trying to get to level 10 before tonight. We will see how that goes. It seems like it is going to be loads of fun!
