History and Background:
Dies Irae was formed after the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. The name is Latin for Days of Wrath, so while it may not be the most original guild name, at the time of its conception it was oddly fitting. The guild was formed by disillusioned South African players from the US servers, who found that trying to raid at 4 am in the morning is simply not conducive to pretty much anything else. Before WotLK was released, the founding members re-rolled EU, and have been much happier since then. While we may be behind in some of the new content, we're gaining quickly, and our members are rapidly joining the ranks of the other achievement-hunting level 80's.
Many of our members have both Vanilla WoW and TBC raid experience, and some have even got some Northrend raids under their belts already.
Guild Expectations and Goals:
The idea behind Dies Irae is not to have a huge guild, but rather to have a relatively small guild (50 raiders), who raid and do instances together in a mature, fun environment. While there are quite a few South Africans in the guild, we're welcoming players from the world over, and already have some people from England, Wales and Sweden.
We're looking for members who are eager to see the content this game has to offer. Raiding solely for gear isn't good enough, because we want members who enjoy working together, seeing and experiencing new things together, and accomplishing goals as a team. This, for us, is the fun part of the game; getting that boss down as a guild after only 2 tries.
We're adult players, and – as such – are looking for mature, emo-free players who won't send a barrage of whispers or start forum rants over the odd expletive in guild chat or in Vent. As long as you're not abusing your fellow guildies, our motto is “Welcome to Dies Irae, where PC stands for Personal Computer”. We encourage humour in all it's form, and the majority of us speak fluent Sarcastic (without breaking someone down).
What are we looking for in our members?
Dies Irae is looking for dedicated, skilled and friendly players to join the ranks of our raiding group for our sojourns in to the Northrend raids.
Does the following describe you?
* You are a mature, self-sufficient player who has control over his/her emotions (probably the most important personal aspect).
* You can raid 3 days a week (still to be decided as per guild agreement from 20:00 - 23:00 GMT +2), and are possibly interested in a lazy Sunday afternoon raid.
* You understand English, and have Ventrilo and a microphone.
* You are willing to come prepared to a raid (includes being online 15 minutes before the time, getting your own flasks/pots/food buffs, reading strategies on the boss/bosses planned for the evening).
* You know your class and its item requirements.
* You don't mind 'dry runs' in order for everyone to be able to get an idea of the boss fight and the way we'll be doing things (strategies are all fine and well, but sometimes a particular fight has to be learned through individual experience).
* You are aware of the fact that the black hole at your feet rapidly eating away at your HP requires some action on your part.
What can we offer you?
We can offer you a serious (in terms of progression goals, yet fun in terms of pursuit) raiding environment which, while light-hearted and, above all, FUN, will cater for people who have real life limitations to their raiding and playing capability (we understand that real life happens) and cannot raid 7 days a week, for 4 hours a day. We also offer a care-free environment in which to relax after a bad day at the office (we understand and appreciate the fact that on the other end of the screen, there's a real person, who is – after all – paying a monthly subcription to a game in order to relax and have fun)

We look forward to hearing from you!
