Please read the recruitment post to fully understand what type of guild we are, and how we are diffrent from other guilds.
Guild information:Borked is a well respected guild here on Ravencrest that got roots all the way back to classic wow.
The guild have always had great progress from the beginning of WoW. Borked killed Kel'Thuzard in Naxxramas 40 as one of the top guilds in the world, then continued on with realm first Illidan and Kil'jeadan in The Burning Crusade, before the major nerfs. As the guild changed in TBC and couldn't keep up with the world firsts guilds, the guild shaped around speed kills and high raid dps. Borked had multiple highranked people on wwsscoreboard (the worldoflogs of tbc) and also multiple speedkills ranked as number 1 in the world.
As Wrath of the Lich King came, the guild continued to change. Our members got older and more mature and are now trying to fit in real life with hardcore gaming. We still aim for good progress, fast kills and high performance. But even if some of our members would like to, worlds first kills is something we cant compete with anymore.
Most characteristic thing about Borked is our high end raiding without voice communication. No Ventrilo, no Team Speak, nothing. That's something that we began in TBC and we have managed every encounter since then. We go through all tactics in chat before the fight, as soon as we engage every player is on their own. This requires every player to be fully aware of whats going on around them.
All members in the guild need to be fluent in english. Since all communication is done through chat, the guild does not support people with reading and writing issues.
Since many of our members work and study, we won't schedule daytime raids. We might schedule raids during weekends if it shows necessary. (But it hasn't been since Ulduar.)
The guild is built up on upon a small core lead by one officer, world first lvl 80 druid, Fs. We require everyone to have an extremely high attendance, as we don't recruit people to be benched. Many of our members are getting up in age, which has formed the community to be strong and mature. The avarage age is around 25, and has kept increasing over the years.
We have built 4 Vala'nyr maces, 3 Shadowmournes in the guild. Done all PvE achievements up to and including Icecrown. We obtained multiple flying gnome heads, and keeps getting more.
To sum things up...Borked is a hardcore raiding guild, but with respect of work and studies. In Borked you will get a high quality raiding enviroment, downing every single encounter in WoW no matter difficulty as fast as possible without the need of voice communication. The guild consists of high quality gamers with outstanding performances, and that's what we expect every new members to live up to.
