“Archetype” Guild

Raid Schedule: (all times are server time) Saturday 8-11. Sundays are not actual raid days but if enough people are on we will raid 9-11. Alt raids on Wednesday 8-11.


Looking for: All exceptional and mature players. We are in need of healers, tanks, DPS and dedicated raiders.

About us:

Archetype has just celebrated its 8th birthday and we're so proud! More than anything else we've accomplished, we're proud of our social atmosphere. While WoW PvE is our primary focus, we have many members who simply enjoy hanging out in guild chat, on vent, or on the boards. We have a group of pvp'ers, and several people who play Starcraft 2, League of Legends, Neverwinter Online, Rift, and the list goes on.

Our core group has been raiding together in the same guild since BC and continue to be one of the few remaining guilds since prior to server merging from Archimonde. Interested? Keep reading!


What you can expect from Archetype:

Archetype has a history of running stable, drama-free raids that progress at a steady pace. We don't use any special loot master or epgp, since we raid such a small portion of the week we feel that having no loot master and allowing everyone a chance at gear works best for us.

We've had many hiccups in our 8 years but we always persevere. We're not going to be disbanding anytime soon! If you are accepted and fit in well with us, you can expect to have a home here for a long time.

We consider ourselves to be a "mature" guild. Most of our raiders are over 18 years old, and the majority are between the ages of 25-50. We do have a few people under 18, however they were invited due to their exceptional maturity only. If you feel you can contribute to our mature community, please don't hesitate to apply.

We also offer constructive criticism based on empirical data such as meters and logs, as well as feedback from other members, generally Veteran members who are very familiar with the class. We are looking for people who can handle and give out constructive criticism with maturity and respect.

Help is offered to any who join! If you're new to WoW or to your class, we have many people in the guild who have played their class for years and would love to help.

We may not be at the cutting edge of progression, with technically only one raid day a week what would you expect? What you can expect is steady progression, medium to high level mythic plus content and the satisfaction of completing content with like minded nerds and nerdettes.

What Archetype expects from you:

We have raiders from four different time zones so we have a relatively short raid week (~4 hours/week.) As such, we expect you to show up on time and prepared to raid. Prepared means you should be repaired with the necessary consumables, and have at least a basic idea of the fights ahead of you.

You should also be properly geared, gemmed, and enchanted for your role/class. If you require some help with this there are many members who will happily provide some assistance.

We always take a break mid-raid so we expect not to be held up too much by extended, frequent, or unannounced afk's. We expect you to remain calm and have fun during progression, which is not always easy. We expect attendance that will allow us to raid with a roster of ~30 regular raiders (no repeated conflicts with our raiding schedule.) We expect at least a basic ability to self analyze and constantly improve - no egos, please.

Most importantly, we expect you to show our raiders and raid leaders the same respect that is shown to you.

You've gotten this far - How to apply

If this sounds like the type of guild you want to be a part of - please register and fill out an application on our website, archetype.enjin.com. Our application is fairly basic, so please be as detailed as possible. Tell us about yourself, both in and outside of the game. We want to get to know you, not just your character!

If applying for a social spot and are not looking to raid, please disregard the following:

If you are applying to raid, please include anything that will help us determine what kind of raider you are - logs, fraps, screenshots of your raiding UI, etc. Be prepared to answer character and raid related questions in your app thread before we invite you to our guild.

It is important that you keep an eye on your application on the forum.


Thanks for your interest. We hope to hear from you soon.
