No, this isn’t a post about declaring how good I am at anything. That is the name of the new guild I joined. After WORK disbanded I received a few tells about various guilds. Weezzii, a frequent commenter here, even had a very appealing offer for me to transfer servers. Zenge, from Encore here on Illidan, was very willing to help me find a guild, including theirs. But ultimately their raid schedule wouldn’t work with mine.
I was approached by one of the member’s from Really Good At This Game, and when I was talking to them one of my first questions was about raid schedules. Monday through Thursday. Perfect. Filled out an app on their site and had a little chat with a couple officers and got invited.
Of course it doesn’t take 4 days to clear the current content, but those are the days they raid when Ulduar hits. In fact, they have plans for some PTR raiding as well, so I copied Drotara over.
I’ll be honest. I’ve never been a true applicant for any guild. I’ve always been a founding member or actively pursued by a guild to join them. I didn’t go out of my way to make it this way, it’s just how it ended up. So Tuesday I will most likely be accompanying them to heroic Naxx to prove my ability to play the class.
There was more to me joining Really Good At This Game than just a good raid schedule. The past 2 guilds I’ve joined have been new. I’ve either signed the charter or joined shortly after. And while running your own guild or helping run one can be rewarding, as I am sure Mattycus can tell you, sometimes you don’t want to. Really Good at This Game has been around for a while at least. I’ve seen their players and know that the ones I’ve seen are…well, really good at this game. I wanted to find a stable raid environment with a guild that was teetering on the brink of destruction.
On another note my Priest finally hit 80 last night. That’s right, I got an alt to the current level cap. I promptly specced Holy and have been looking for dungeons to heal ever since.

Great news! I hope everything works out for you with them.
I’ve been thinking about doing the PTR copy as well. I’ll probably end up doing it this time around.
Gratz and GL finding the fun again after all thats why we play. From the sounds of your posts it sounds like being a player again will be nice for you. But I am sure you will assume more of a role as it is your nature.
With 3.1 and sounds of major changes I will be on PTR for sure.
What’s this about a PTR, is 3.1 up yet? I can’t find a reference to it anywhere.
“And while running your own guild or helping run one can be rewarding, as I am sure Mattycus can tell you, sometimes you don’t want to.” – I fully understand this and just left the guild I helped run after 2 years. Sometimes you just want to play and forget about the issues. I’m with a bunch of like minded 80′s who are happy to just pug raids at the moment but maybe make the transition to more structured raiding once (like yourself) I find a guild with a raiding schedule that is suitable for me.
As I keep telling people who asked why I left my old guild, “This is only a game and if you aren’t having fun why punish yourself”
GZ on getting the priest to 80 as well.
To Evidences and Drotara,
The 3.1 PTR isn’t actually up yet. If you did in fact transfer a character already, then it consumed a transfer credit from the last testing phase, of which has been over for months now.
I would expect it to go up within a few weeks, depending on how soon (Copyright Blizzard Entertainment) “Patch 3.1 will hit the Public Test Realms very soon” really means. See: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/3p1/ulduar.xml
Grants bro, once again, if there is anything I can do to help you out let me know.
