![]() ![]() The guild listing in this forum is only supplemental and generally ignored or overlooked, so it makes a poor gauge for the state of all guilds. I think it should also be pointed out that the primary places to look for guild recruitment are the Guild Recruitment forums, followed by the server-specific forums. For a totally new player, WoW offers tons of great content and mature game systems, but no below-max-level guilds where someone can find a home. The “newbie helpful guild” lifeblood of any MMORPG appears gone from WoW. I’m not surprised that the player population is declining, despite 14 years of game expansions and refinements. Overall, for an MMORPG player who enjoys playing WITH other people, WoW is a lonely, isolated experience. In November and December 2018 just three guilds posted, and all were oriented to helping people into raids, or turned out to be oriented toward that once I talked to some of their membership. Yes, I have reviewed the New Player Friendly Guilds Check In Here! thread. The few mid-level characters I’ve noticed in my RP guilds are all solo grinding to reach max level ASAP. “Full” RP realms have very busy cities, but most of the traffic is level 110-120 characters. A “New Players” realm just means the realm has very few people in it, with a smaller chance of finding a helpful guild. The server “population” rating is extremely unhelpful. I cannot find a realm that is friendly to people trying to play the game from level 1 onward. This resulted in a “guild of the month” experience that was quite disappointing. They would forget you the moment your usefulness to them was done. Guild members were simply people helping them advance. I have found guilds of low level characters, but invariably they were founded and run by teenagers or college kids devoted to their own progress in the game. Even if guilds were once involved in helping lower level players and doing more “ordinary” dungeons, that is all in the past now. Most guilds seem oriented toward max level characters doing either complicated, long-term RP activities, or working their way through end-game raid content. However, I’ve discovered that WoW’s extreme age has caused a very different dynamic. I’ve looked mainly on RP servers, since in years past and in other MMORPGs, RPers tended to be more friendly and interactive. Which servers (realms) are best for finding a “we play all PvE content” guild?.Do guilds bother with crafting any more, or are equipment drops all you need?.Are there guilds that pride themselves on using clear English, instead shortspeak or teeny-bopper slang, so that an adult of any age group can understand them?.Are there any active guilds that help new players understand the increasingly complex and convoluted systems around crafting, equipment, etc., especially at levels beyond 60?.Do any guilds still do low level dungeons (15-60) together?.I cannot find friendly, helpful guilds designed for PvE players who want to enjoy the entire WoW content experience. ![]()
