Mannel is a Horde Guild consisting of a competitive group of players, brought together by a desire to explore all the content the game has to offer. We raid up to 3 nights a week (Sunday - Thursday, 20:00 - 23.00 Server Time). Our members hail from all over Europe. English is our language of choice on vent and in game. We recruit based on three factors, listed in order of importance:

Player Skill

WoW really isn't very hard, but it's amazing how badly some people can play. If you can't avoid the multitude of beams, fires, clouds and other sparkling death traps this isn't the guild for you. You should feel you've got a great understanding of your class and be on top of your game all the time. One eye on the TV or one hand in a bucket of chicken while playing does not help, the ability to remain focused for the entirety of our raids is highly valued.

Personality

We really like people who have a positive attitude and a genuine sense of humour. You should be able to take insults on the chin, it's going to happen at some point. If you can't accept constructive (and sometimes unconstructive) criticism, this isn't the guild for you. If all that drives you is wild fantasies of having every item in the game, again this isn't the guild for you. You'll like it here a lot more if you play outside of scheduled raids and enjoy the social aspect of the game.

Gear

We run a tight roster, so when we're looking for a specific class it means we really need you and don't have the time to gear you up. You need to be very well geared and prepared to hit the ground running.

Here are some general guidelines if you're thinking of applying, so you don't waste your time:

- Have at least the best gear from Heroics, ideally mostly Ulduar/Colli 10/25 or greater quality items. We MIGHT consider your app without great gear, so if you think you're totally badass and we'd be doing you a criminal injustice by not reading your application, send it our way.

- Your own PC and a good internet connection; not two cups joined with a piece of string.

Before submitting your application make sure you answered all questions in detail. Bad spelling and grammar is frowned upon. Sell yourself but be honest. Make sure you understand the guild requirements, this is a big commitment.
