ABOUT OATHSWORN

Who Are We?
Oathsworn was originally formed in February 2005 from several smaller guilds that joined as a way to begin focusing on 40 man content. After we formed we managed to conquer Zul'Gurub, Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, Molten Core, and Blackwing Lair. Just as the first expansion arrived, we were beginning to defeat the bosses of Temple of Ahn'Qiraj and old Naxxramas.
After the release of Burning Crusades, we defeated Gruul, Magtheridon, Serpentshrine Caverns, Karazhan, Zul'Aman, Mount Hyjal, and Black Temple.
With the recent release of WotLK we have conquered 25 man Naxx. Our primary focus in Wraith is still to progress through all end-game raid level content.

We are now a very large guild with many friends and family members and we owe all of them thanks for the success of the guild, but we purposefully keep our raiding numbers low with a focus on quality over quantity. Keeping our raiding numbers low lets our people participate more.

Outside of raiding, we run 5-mans, arena teams, and occasionally coordinate premade pvp teams. We joke around in guild chat, on our web forums, and get to know each other through our forum "Profiles" thread, where many of us have posted about our real-life activities.

What Do We Expect?
We are a "casual" guild in the sense of understanding that players do have occasional conflicts between RL commitments and raid schedules, but because we do run such a lean guild, it's important that you participate in the required minimum 2 to 3 raids per week. Some would consider this "hardcore", but consistent raid participation and commitment is key to learning and successfully overcoming complex encounters.

Also because we do run such a small raiding roster, Oathsworn is only looking for people who will listen closely, follow directions, and take pride in playing their classes well. We expect our players to fully enchant and socket their gear, to fully understand shot/attack/heal rotations, and to participate regularly in our guild forums for strategy discussions. We also take every opportunity in our forums to poke some fun at each other, and post up anything of interest, whether that be WoW or RL-related.

We have role advisers to help our players continually learn how to better their gear, skills, and talent specs. We discuss strategies both on the forums and in our in-game class channels. Gear is distributed fairly via a DKP system, but often times, players will pass to others in their class, because certain drops are better upgrades for their teammates. You will hear the word "Consideracy" used a lot in Oathsworn raids.

Since Oathsworn is focused on endgame content, we do require you to be 80th level, and preferably experienced with end-game raiding before we will seriously consider your application. There is more on requirements in the HOW TO APPLY post after this one.

What Do We Offer?
We offer a fun, supportive adult experience. If you're looking for a guild that runs raids 3 nights per week, is drama free, successful, and family oriented, you have found it in Oathsworn. If you're looking for a guild that only raids once per week, this is probably not the guild you're looking for. On the flip side, if you're looking for a guild that runs 7 raids per week for 6 hours straight, this also is probably not the guild you're looking for. Our goal is to try and balance "real life" while also conquering the end-game content.

On any given week, you can expect 25-man raids on Tues, Thurs, and Sat beginning at 6:30 pm server time. On off-nights, typically we run 10-man raids, heroic 5-man, pvp, arena, and questing.

Once invited to the guild, we will "unlock" many of this forum's topics which cover all aspects of the game from boss strategies, class discussion, personal profiles, and more.

Oathsworn is one of the oldest guilds on the Azjol-Nerub sever, and the reason we have been successful is because of the great people who make up the guild. If Oathsworn sounds like the type of guild you're looking for, and you feel you can contribute in a positive way, this could just be your new home.
