The Classifieds: Wisfest and lots of hiring

One of the best things about WoW is the friendships you make along the way. It looks like this group has done plenty of that. Long, awkward silences between new acquaintances? Not this gang.
Let's crack open The Classifieds ...The Ancient Order of Wisdom on Arathor (EU-A) has had a very busy week.
We celebrated our fifth anniversary yesterday with a "Cattle Run" -- a bunch of level 1 taurens doing the run from Mulgore to Thrall (made more interesting since half the guildies there are very much pro-Alliance and didn't know exactly where to find him!). Naturally, we had to do this on a different realm due to the number of altoholics we have. There were a few hiccups on the way ... (by "hiccups," read grizzly deaths), but there was much laughter on Vent and prizes for the winners!
In recognition of this rather superb achievement, we also had the first ever guild meeting last weekend. "Wisfest" took place in York -- and had a weekend where real life was a parody of WoW. An ancient walled city with dungeons and ghost tours! Naturally, we had to sample some of the local ales. Fifteen of us turned up to meet and gel our online friendships into something more. I'm very appreciative of all those that came -- in particular Stony, who travelled all the way from Belgium. We had an absolute blast!
Needless to say, Wisfest 2011 is already in the calendar for next year.
Employment: Guild recruiting
Icecrown 10 <Victorious Secret> of Draka (US-H) is a brand new guild recruiting DPS for serious ICC runs. The goal is regular and sustained progression culminating with downing the LK. We plan to raid 8-11 p.m. Eastern two to three days a week. Since the guild is just starting, core raiding positions are still available and attendence is expected. If you are interested, please fill out an application!
Icecrown 10 <Relapse Into Chaos> of Drenden (US-H) is currently looking for ranged DPS and healers for our two ICC 10-man teams. We are currently downing 8 out of 12 bosses in on both teams. We like to focus on doing what we can for each other while enjoying all aspects of the game. If you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere with some fun on progression content, feel free to contact us in game. We look forward to hearing from you.
Icecrown 25 <The Naked Fear> is one of the oldest active guilds on Korgath, having been founded three years ago during The Burning Crusade expansion. We are currently recruiting more active players in order to fill a steady 25-man roster for our two weekly raid nights. We raid on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 p.m. until midnight server time. We are presently focusing on several 25-man hard modes and completing a 25-man normal Lich King kill.
Raiding Newbies <Legion Of Might> of Nagrand (US-PvE) is a new guild that will be starting to do casual raiding and fun events. We already have a couple ideas, including LEEERRRROOOYYYY JENKINS! and a scavenger/Amazing Race. We are recruiting all levels and prefer if you are working on your character as often as possible. Come check us out!
Tanks and Healers <Registry Error> of Thrall (US-H) is a casual guild looking for tanks and healers with offspec DPS sets to fill out our 10-man roster. We focus on normal mode progression through ICC-10 and, for kicks, Ulduar-10. We raid weekdays from 8-11 p.m. server time. For more information whisper Aerth or Zulutanna.
Random Acts of Uberness
What, everyone was a total grouch this past week? We know you're out there, playing along in good spirits ... grand-slamming instances ... lighting up your groups with a wicked sense of humor ... quietly offering an unexpected hand to a struggling new player. Who turned your sour evening into a night to remember? Share those Random Acts of Uberness with theclassifieds@wow.com. Keep things brief (150 words or less, please), and be sure to list everyone's character names and home realms or battlegroup.

Catbwoy, please L2spell before you attempt posting anywhere. I mean really, I find it offensive. Please take your horrid spelling somewhere else so we don't have to read such crap. Merci

Michael Gray--Random Acts of Uberness...Someone removes Cazzi from this thread.

Quick note to Michael:
The ad for Icecrown 10 doesn't say what realm they are on... just a head's up!
Brett Porter Sep 1st 2010 9:11PM
Sorry, forgot about the whole brackets issue. That comment was supposed to be about Relapse Into Chaos.
lisapoisso Sep 1st 2010 10:10PM
Fixed -- thanks for the catch!

I just wanna take a moment to be creepy and say that the guy in the front center of that picture is adorable. That is all.
MusedMoose Sep 1st 2010 10:48PM
Merely saying someone's adorable isn't creepy.
Saying it to their face after three months of internet-stalking leads you to their home? *That's* creepy.
:P

I just want to point out that the girl in the purple looks like she's rocking some low tier shoulders. Looks like they've got mini spikes .
jscott87 Sep 2nd 2010 12:46AM
I thought that was a girl....lol my bad
jacob.catterall Sep 2nd 2010 1:16AM
Thanks =D
jacob.catterall Sep 2nd 2010 1:17AM
thank you =$

I'm wondering who the woman with her hand on the kids leg is. I see it as either his mother, or his much older ranga girlfriend. If it's the latter, then kudos for trying to help a redhead get a soul.
jacob.catterall Sep 2nd 2010 4:13PM
errrr, she is not my girlfriend, nor my mother =P She is a fellow guild member =P Dont think a girlfriend would be right for me, and I wouldnt be able to get one as lovely as her anyway ;)

I was hoping to hear that Wisfest took place in Wisconsin. No such luck :(

"...lighting up your groups with a wicked sense of humor..."
My sense of humor usually does not go over so well in randoms. People are grouchy. I guess wiping 19 times will do that to a person.

I love the idea of RL guild meetings.
I was actually trying to gather a bunch of guildies together for Dragon*Con this weekend, but, alas, everyone ended up bailing. Oh well. More nerds for me :/
Grumblecakes Sep 1st 2010 9:47PM
I've met a few of my guildmates on an individual or small group level. It's been loads of fun each time.
jasonfelliott Sep 1st 2010 10:33PM
Wouldn't it be a good idea to state Alliance/Horde in these recruitment posts?
StoNe Sep 1st 2010 10:53PM
Hate to be the negative person...but why is everyone in that picture overweight?
I know we all sit in front of our computers for long periods of time, but surely a day job, vegtebles and walking to the train or taxi each day should prevent the average human turning out like that :(

Man, and my bet was concern trolling in under 10 posts. Post earlier. :p
