Have you ever wanted to just strike out and do something kinda crazy? Kinda like walk into your bossess office and just say, “HEY!! You know what? I can do better than you, so I quit!!” or maybe just take your last $100 and say “What the hell! $100 on Black 13″ at the Roulette wheel??
Well, I think I might have just done that. You see I was in this guild. Not really a bad guild, but one that had just hit a wall and I honestly felt probably wouldn’t progress to much further. And if they did, well.. I was thinking I might be able to do better.
Your probably thinking.. “Brig.. What are your driving at?? Get to the point!!” Alright, here’s the deal. I’ve jumped into the deep end and created a guild called The Hunting Lodge on (US) Shadowsong.
Yes, I know your thinking, “BRIG!!! You already did that once!! Remember!!” Yep, I did. But that was different. It was something more along the lines of attempting a social experiment with all of you being members. The only problem with it, is we all have our own main toons Hunters primariliy, but some of you have Pally’s or Rogues maybe evena Priest that you just can’t put down. I know that’s how I feel about my main. No matter what, I always go back to the original Brig and continue tweaking little things trying to improve.
So here’s the plan. The Hunting Lodge guild on Shadowsong has a goal. It’s to be an Elite raiding guild. We only accept level 70′s right now. Since we’re just starting out, our main focus for the moment will be to develop a cohesive 10 man team. Why 10 man team and not 25? Well, pretty simple. In the expansion, every raid will have a 10 man and 25 man version. After having several stop and goes at the 25 man thing. I felt it better to go after creating something a bit easier, but still maintain the elite raiding experience. How? Glad you asked.
I need 10 people that are committed to working together as a team. Not just any team, but become the Elite. A team that starts off on the easy stuff 5 man Heroics to learn the quick no mistake playstyle. Then work up to Kara so we can gel as a 10 man raiding team. Obtain badge gear and then move to ZA quickly for more drops and badges and who knows maybe a few bear mounts. This is our “Boot Camp” in the supposedly few weeks before the expansion drops, we work together learn how to play well together, and be able to know how to compensate for any weaknesses that may exist creating an esprit de corps focusing on becoming the best!
The ultimate goal would be for us to be the go-to 10man crew. Need a healer, pull in from The Hunting Lodge, Need DPS? None can hit as hard consistently as the players from The Hunting Lodge!!
Saying this, I ask you? Do you want to be a part of this? Something challenging, something that gets you ready for the expansion during these duldroms and at the same time offers you the uniqueness of knowing your creating something different, something no one else can, because it has a single purpose a single goal, to become the best?
If your interested, drop me a line and let me know, whisper me in game, but find me!!. We’ll be tracking the guild alongside other events here at the Lodge. I’m hoping some of you will give it some serious thought and maybe hop on board, and if not as a player, then as a spectator, a supporter as we charge toward this goal!
