Finding A Guild In WoW

If you are new to the game, the server, or just got the boot from you old guild you might ask yourself this question,

How do I find a guild in World of Warcraft?

In WoW I think the biggest contributing factor as to why the game is so appealing to others as well as myself is the community of players that the game has within it. For instance, when you are logging on to raid, yes you probably want to go down content but your also coming because you know that the group needs you. You want your friends to see you as dependable. So obviously if you haven't found a guild or individual players that you enjoy playing the game with your experience in World of Warcraft is not going to be as enjoyable as it could be. For many players in WoW they have been in their guild or group of friends for years, even if they have never met them in real life. They enjoy playing with them even if they aren't the best. So the first step to finding your group of people that is going to be the players you end up playing with during your time in WoW is to find out what you want to do in the game. If you aren't maxed level yet, don't worry, that just means your probably going to fit in best in a leveling guild. These make up most of the guilds in WoW where people both max level and still in the process of leveling hang out in a friendly, usually family oriented community and is probably the most welcoming of all of the guilds. The next type of guild is a casual pve guild, this is the guild that likes to run dungeons with each other and like to down raid bosses when it suits them but aren't too serious about the game. This is the type of guild most people go to after reaching max level in a leveling guild. The next type of guild is a hardcore or semi-hardcore pve guild, this is where you want to go when your max level and no sooner. I say this because unless your super close to max level its going to take some time to level up in order to be able to get into raids and they aren't going to hold a spot for you. These guilds are friendly to the players that have been in them for a long time and is going to take some work to get into the in-crowd within the guild. The last type of guild is a pvp guild where now that rated battlegrounds are in the game, are more popular than the use to be. I haven't had any experience being in a pvp guild but they can be lots of fun if you enjoy player versus player solely. No matter what type of guild you join just make a good first impression. Be playful and talk to people that respond to your playfulness because those are the type of guys that your going to connect with best. Another way to do this is constantly offer up your time to run dungeons, battlegrounds,arena, or old raid content with guild members as it will give you time to introduce yourself and will be appreciated by other guild member, in other words it will get you good guild reputation within the guild (not literally like the guild xp you get). Well that's it for this post thanks for reading. Feel free to leave comments and let me know what you guys would like me to write about next. I am very open to any topics.
