A Bit About <Kudzu>
<Kudzu> is a Serious Casual guild focused on progression raiding, and has been since the launch of the Burning Crusade. Running two days a week with a /roll loot system and no cotton fecal receptors, we went on to clear the expansion's raid content through Brutallus. Shortly thereafter, patch 3.0 hit and everyone shifted focus to preparing for Lich King.

At the launch of WotLK, we quickly leveled to 80 and steamrolled the available content. The Purple Maiden was running full force towards Lootsville, but something was wrong. Every encounter felt like Shade of Akama, which left us feeling pretty dissatisfied; and the promise of new content was months away. Disappointment and apathy set in, and a majority of the guild took an extended break.

When 3.2 splashed down, our guild saw a tremendous revival. We had two new raids to enjoy. Hard Mode encounters had proven to be a genuine challenge and a success with the raiding community. A new arena season was underway. People were juiced up. They wanted skulls for the purpose of cracking. Unfortunately, our return coincided with the realization that our bottom-ten disaster server had hit even lower depths. So, here we are, hoping to offer players what we feel is a more rare approach to progression raiding on a larger, more developed server.

Update 1/10: Since moving to Kel'thuzad and pushing hard to recruit, we've built up an amazing core of strong players. Content has been melting like butter, and everyone is juiced up, to say the least. That said, we still have a few holes in the hull to patch up. Come prove your might!

The Pitch
All kidding aside, we're a guild that understands the draw of real life. Most of us are up to our necks in some combo of graduate studies, wives, children, and professional careers, but can't avoid the lure of dragon slaying. We take our classes, raid roles and guild seriously, but not enough to lose sight of personal priorities. We appreciate having a GM that doesn't tell you how much more he liked you when you didn't have a job/girlfriend/contact with UV rays.

If you think you might be interested in a not-so-serious but totally serious approach to monster killing, head on over to our website. In the "Join Kudzu" forum, you'll find a couple of stickies with more information about the guild, our general philosophies, and how to apply.

One Final Note
Gear score be damned. We are far more interested in skilled players w/ an interest in raiding and chilling out. ToC-10 and 25 coupled w/ the timed gates of ICC makes it incredibly easy for us to bring a newer body up to speed. We'd love to hear from anyone confident enough in their abilities and class knowledge.

Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from some of you soon.
