The Classifieds: Scilla guilds rally for breast cancer awareness

One of my favorite things about the WoW community is the various ways that we, as players, promote a certain level of social consciousness. Sure, you hear all these horrible stories about ninjas and terrible vulgarity. But for everyone of those, you hear about something incredible. This story is one of the incredible ones. Sure, it's an online video game rally, but that's the fundamental point: create awareness where previously there was none.
Fayvren and Mahjarette from Scilla (US-A) decided to promote breast cancer awareness month by changing their guild tabards to pink. Other guilds on Scilla were inspired by their example and followed suit. Encouraged by this reception, Fayvren and Mahjarette farmed massive amounts of pink material to create the necessary costumes for the rally you see above and after the jump. They definitely want to thank the guilds <Resurrected Phenomenon>, <Party People>, <EVO>, <The Panic Attacks> and <Official>.
I'm writing to send a loud thanks from Leonetti of Argent Dawn (US-A) to Uglytwo of Durotan (US-A). It was a quick and painless Coren daily, when one of the stamina mugs dropped. He and I both rolled need. He won. Before I was able to leave, he handed it over to my undergeared level 78 self with a simple, "Good luck." A completely unnecessary gesture, but a muchly appreciated one. -- Leonetti
Employment: Recruiting
Aggresive PvP <Hostile> of Arygos (US-A) is looking for new recruits. Hostile is a new Cataclysm rated battlegrounds guild. We are seeking new people to get us started on the road to competing for that Grand Marshal title in Cataclysm. We are accepting players new and experienced in the PvP aspect of the game. We will also raid on off nights, so we have full immersion for Cataclysm. Come check us out!
18 or older <Retreat> of Earthen Ring (US-H) is an 18+ raiding guild focused on rounding out our 10-man team for Cataclysm. We're currently recruiting melee, and we're more concerned about attitude than gear. Check out our website for more information.
Casually Adult <Preclude to Ruin> of Darkspear (US-H) is a small, newly formed guild looking for adult members of all classes and levels who are down to earth, have a sense of humor and are team players. We plan to set up raid and battleground groups with various schedules to allow more members to participate. Contact Doomtrooper or any member in game for an invite or visit http://ptr.guildportal.com for more info.
Explicit <Explicitly Progressive> of Mug'thol is recruiting healers and melee DPS for ICC-10 progression. We raid at 8 p.m. server time on Sundays and Mondays, and are currently 11/12. Our aims is to get the 10-man ICC drakes, and we hope you'll join us! PST Lekal for more info.
Few hours, high rewards <Supercool Discotheque> of Burning Step (EU-H) is a casual 10-man guild that raids fewer hours than most and yet aims to experience as much content as possible by focusing during these raids. We're looking for one strong, cooperative, chatty healer and a couple of experienced DPS to help us solidify our already established raid team for Cataclysm. We're not looking for a bencher to fill a spot every now and again -- we want you to gel with our members, install yourself as a crucial member of our raid team and become fully ensconced in our guild. You can reach us in game or at our website.Heroic Completion <Reawaken> (US-H) of Staghelm is looking to round out our raiding roster and complete Heroic 25-man ICC. We are currently 11/12 heroic 25 and 12/12 heroic 10-man. Any exceptional players are welcome to apply as well as joint apps for couples.
Horde Pride <The ReaperZ> of Terrokar (US-H) are a proud Horde guild looking for a few good men and women to fill out our core ICC team. We believe that raiding is all about learning how to work together as a team -- to figure out what went wrong, make some adjustments to our strategy and then keep trying until we get it right. We are especially in need of tanks and healers and would love to be able to form two 10-man teams and work on a 25-man. You can find out all about us (including all the crazy stuff we love to do) and apply online at thereaperz.guildzilla.com or by whispering Taree in game.
Late Night <Honor Guard> or Rexxar (US-H) is looking for members, with an emphasis on members who can be active late night. We raid from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m. server time, and are currently finishing up LK content and preparing leveling the guild as well as ourselves once Cataclysm hits. If you are interested in joining, contact any of our officers in game or drop a post at our website http://www.hg-guild.com.
Sound Progress <Dragons Call> of Bloodhoof (US-A) is a tightly knit group of friends both in game and out who enjoy raiding and other PvE circuits. Our focus is on 10-man content, occasionally attempting a 25-man with a few friendly guilds. We are in dire need of a few excellent tanks to finish out Icecrown Citadel. We have been working on Sindragosa and have made sound progress, but real life has claimed our tanks. Interested parties may apply on our website, http://dragonscall.guildomatic.com/. Come help us become Kingslayers!

I've been on Scilla for 5 years and I have never heard of any of those guilds >.>
But it's great that they're doing something like that.
wutsconflag Oct 6th 2010 4:12PM
Makes me want to change my guild's tabard in the same manner. :) Good for them!
Ohnoto Oct 6th 2010 4:16PM
How have you not heard of The Panic Attacks? They've been around since the beginning of Burning Crusade, and have even had 2 member featured here on WoWInsider on the 15 minutes of fame.
flint Oct 6th 2010 4:41PM
Really? I have NEVER heard of The Panic Attacks as a Scilla guild. Ever. And yeah, I'm Alliance.
ambermist Oct 6th 2010 5:04PM
Why would that matter? They appear to be horde: http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=Scilla&gn=The+Panic+Attacks

Scilla player here, heard about this but my time ran out :(

That would explain it, Amber. The article made it sound like all the guilds were Alliance, which is why I assumed it was an Alliance guild.

"The article made it sound like all the guilds were Alliance, which is why I assumed it was an Alliance guild."
I guess all the tauren and trolls and undead in the screenshot didn't give you a hint there, did they.

"I guess all the tauren and trolls and undead in the screenshot didn't give you a hint there, did they."
You mean the ones standing behind the gnomes, dwarves and humans? I'd say both factions are pretty well represented in that first screenie. And given that the second paragraph starts with "Fayvren and Mahjarette from Scilla (US-A)" I'd say the confusion on the part of the OP is pretty understandable.
Sounds like a nice cross-faction event.

Come Cataclysm, some friends and I are looking to leave our backwater server (nearly worst in progression) and find a Horde-friendly server with progression where we can actually experience raiding with competent players. Any ideas?

Blackhand-US or Nazretheim-US

Mug'thol has a large amount of horde raiding guilds, but the alliance pop is pretty small from what I've seen. Makes for leveling lowbies via pvp really painfully slow.
Ohnoto Oct 6th 2010 4:14PM
I quit playing WoW last year, but I played on Scilla and it's nice to hear some good news coming from the server I played on for so long.
Kevin Oct 15th 2010 12:23PM
it is a great thing they are doing. keep it up
Denaar Oct 6th 2010 4:22PM
I have a small guild (5 people, heh) and I've discussed this article with them. At least one small guild on Blackwater Raiders (US) will be joining with them!
shawncplus Oct 6th 2010 4:22PM
Reminds me of the Ex Cinis Cineris feature from last year.
Widdershins Oct 6th 2010 4:28PM
recruitment: Late Night of Rexxar should be listed as Alliance guild, not Horde.. thank you
Prophetik Oct 6th 2010 7:08PM
Yeah I was about to jump in...They sound like the PERFECT guild for me, but they are Alliance. UGH. I am disappoint.

I applaude initiatives like that to raise awareness for certain diseases. It is my belief however that breast cancer receives a LOT of attention compared to other conditions. Alzheimer's disease is an example of a condition affecting millions of people yet we rarely see marches and huge events organized to raise awareness and money. I know there are many initiatives present but we did not see anything on the scale of what we're seeing for breast cancer for AD last month (it was it awareness month).
It's just that seeing NFL players with pink gloves got me wondering why breast cancer gets so much exposure
Still very cool display of what the WoW community can do

Finally, someone gets it.
