Guild Summary

Requiem is an ancient multinational guild that has been raiding competitively on EU-Al'Akir since it’s founding in 2006. The guild enjoyed great successes in Vanilla, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm, and is now seeking active raiders to bolster its ranks for the Mist of Pandaria raid progression.

Much of the raiding force that garnered these accomplishments can still be found in the guild today, and many of the members have played World of Warcraft from release – including the guild’s leadership.

Requiem can offer potential applicants a focused raiding experience in addition to an extremely active social community, and a stability that comes from having such a large number of dedicated members that have remained in the guild unfalteringly for many years.

In summary, Requiem can provide you with a well-rounded raiding experience that does not compromise on the social nature of the game. Once you become involved in the guild’s community, you’ll find it very hard to find a community like it, and even if members stop playing the game, or retire from raiding, they never truly leave Requiem.


Recent History

Requiem went through a few transformations and changes in Cataclysm. We had numerous roster changes and like a lot of guilds, we have found it difficult at times.

After getting through 6/7hc in Firelands pre-nerf, Ragnaros proved to be a struggle and months of wiping took its toll. With players quitting, we were forced to go 10man and got the kill soon after. I'm certain that many people browsing this thread may have a similar, or identical story to tell. Thankfully we are a strong guild with a great community, and that has kept us alive where other guilds have fallen.

With most things cleared in Cataclysm, we now welcome Mists of Pandaria with open arms!


Key skills and traits we expect from applicants:

• Reliable Attendance – We expect attendance at least 3 times per raiding week, and good punctuality on those raiding nights.
• 
  
  
• A thorough knowledge of class and spec – We expect active thinking upon and understanding of the applicant’s chosen class and spec; we are not seeking members that simply follow what they read on Elitist Jerks without thinking about what they are actually reading. Raid spots are given to those who prove to be the most skilled and capable without exception.
• 
  
  
• A desire to progress – Consumables, coffee and prior tactical knowledge, we expect applicants to show up prepared, alert and informed about the boss encounters we are progressing on.
• 
  
  
• Communication skills – A solid grasp of English is essential to joining the guild; we expect members to communicate actively on Ventrilo, and having a good sense of humour is vital.
• 
  
  
• Skill, not gear – Our gear requirements are fairly lenient; although we expect a certain level of gear from applicants it is not of key importance to have the highest level gear before applying. If we are convinced you are a decent player, then that gear will come in time.
• 
  
  
• Personality – Most importantly of all, the desire and effort to integrate socially into the guild. Requiem is, and always has been, about the community of players enjoying playing together. Without this aspect, the guild would not have lasted this long.

  Oh, and we have a tabard!
