“Reminisce” Guild

<Reminisce> is a mythic raiding guild on the Moon Guard (MG) server of WoW. Born from the ashes/core of a previous Cutting Edge (CE) raiding team on MG, <Rem> formed in Dragonflight (DF) as a place for a growing group of friends/community to get back into mythic raiding.

DF History:
1) Season 1 (Vault): After a late foray into starting to mythic raid, <Rem> finished the tier 6/8M, calling the season prior to Broodmother. This tier formed the core that would go forward in DF.
2) Season 2 (Abberus): <R> hit the ground running, and finished just short of CE, going 8/9M, finishing in late P2 of Sarkareth. Neltharion had proved challenging, along with some roster issues at the time, leading to finishing short of CE.
3) Season 3 (Amirdrassil): After a fast start, <Rem> called the season early due to several major roster issues, finishing 6/9M (Smolderon best pull ~8%).
4) Fated: Casual tier- we did AOTC in the first 3 weeks for the 3 different raids, and then left it up to our players to do whatever content they want (M+, heroic raid, PVP, MoP remix etc).

Culture: <Reminisce> is at it’s core, a social and welcoming environment. As a Liquid Women in WOW (LWIW)/VISAGE guild, we strive to be inclusive, and have several LGBTQ+ members and leadership, and do not tolerate hateful or derogatory language which could hurt our players. That being said, <Rem> can also be rough around the edges, and humor is very much appreciated, and every raid will likely have its degenerate moments. But intent matters, and there is a line, which we will enforce to continue to have our welcoming atmosphere. Our guild also has a strong sense of community, with many members having played WoW and other games together for many years/expansions Our players love to play League of Legends, classic WoW (used to have a classic raid team!), and other games too. This is not the guild for you if being active only means playing WoW. We our extremely proud of our player/core roster retention, and even with calling the season short in tier 3 of DF, we maintained >90% of our raiding core, which has remained generally steady throughout the expansion.

Raiding Culture: We have fun. We raid because we like each other, and thus make the effort to show up prepared, and support each other in the intensive team effort that is mythic raiding. This isn’t the place for ego’s. That being said, we DO take performance seriously, and will ultimately make any adjustments that will give the team the highest chance of success. The team is comprised of a mix of both CE experienced, and those newer to mythic raiding. When choosing applicants to trial, we look for 1) willingness to learn/improve, 2) foundational skills for the class/spec, 3) a good community/social it. While we do not have specific set requirements for raid attendance (IRL matters, and things come up. We all have responsibilities outside of the game), we do expect that outside of significant events/circumstances, for players to be ready to raid every week. We aim to have ~25 on the roster, including a rotating bench, to have slack for absences, and to better tailor our composition for fights.

The Future, and Recruitment for The War Within (TWW): Though we have taken a break from mythic raiding during the Awakened season of DF, our goals is to return to mythic raiding with the first season of TWW, and the goal for the expansion is CE. We believe this is within our reach, and we hope to recruit additional players to add to our core, and to help us in this journey.
1) Experienced and vocal healers would be of highest priority. If you have experience planning healing CD’s this would be quite helpful.
2) Any players of high caliber, willing to learn, and ideally with mythic raiding experienced are encouraged to apply- we will review all applications holistically.
We will likely start to go into Fated mythic raids once prepatch is announced, to gear up and get a cohesive team together prior to the expansion starting.

Social: We also offer social roles for players looking for an inclusive WoW community. Our social members enjoy our active/well maintained Discord, M+, PvP, and heroic/AOTC/alt raiding. Additionally, we do believe in “home grown talent”, and have had several members who became core raiders who joined us as socials due to a lack of raid experience, but worked the way into our team as they gained more playing time.

Server: And finally, isn’t it a joy to be a raiding team on MG? While we don’t have the PvE/raiding accolades of other Full-sized PvE servers, as a Roleplay (RP) server, MG offers many unique things not present in other WoW servers. There is an incredibly active and vibrant player-base on MG, and when not in raid, you can enjoy being in this filled open world with interesting characters with their own stories, and the players behind them who put in the effort in making this MMO-RPG come to life. While most of us on the raiding team don’t RP, we do appreciate the culture behind it, and the RP is what makes MG feel so uniquely old-school MMO’ish in Retail WoW. Come be a “big fish” in a “small pond”!
