Obsidian Spur is an original WoW launch guild. We moved to Thrall
during the first week of Mists of Pandaria after calling Sargeras
our home since November of 2004. Alliance greatly outnumber Horde
on Sargeras, and this was amplified by the heavy exodus of Horde
players to other servers over several years. This situation became
extremely bad during Cataclysm, creating a horrible playing
environment for Horde players, especially since Sargeras is a PvP
server. When all was said and done, we decided to leave our home
server. It was one of the best decisions we ever made, and we
thoroughly enjoy the Thrall server.
Brief History - We used to be a much more hardcore raiding
guild back in Vanilla, and we eventually "burnt" out early on in
Naxx 40 due to poor raid leadership. Things changed in TBC when a
large player exodus occured. Many players quit the game entirely,
and this caused another chunk of players to leave and join another
raiding guild. This caused our guild to enter a hibernation state
since TBC endgame only consisted of 25-man raiding. Wrath
ressurected our guild and many players returned to the game. We
successfully collaborated with a few other Horde guilds on
Sargeras, mainly The Wrecking Crew and Virakar, in order to clear
all Wrath content. Cataclysm was another successful expansion for
us, and we were able to clear all content. We also began to
seriously raid heroic modes during Cataclysm, ultimately completing
heroic Madness of Deathwing. The legendary staff from Firelands was
completed, as well as multiple legendary dagger sets. Many players
returned during Mists and had a lot of fun and success in raids. We
ran two 10-man raids during Mists, each of which cleared out MV,
HoF, ToeS, and ToT. All raids completed "ahead of the curve." One
10-man stopped during SoO, while the other continued, cleared it,
and progressed to 10/14 mythic before taking a hiatus.
Many of our members are in their 20s and 30s and have been playing
together for many years. We are a very close community, but we
always welcome new players to join, regardless of level and
experience. We are a social, laid-back community of people that
like to play many games, not just WoW, and people are always in
Mumble.
Raiding - We currently have one group that consistently
ranges from 18-24 people for normal and heroic Highmaul clears. We
just began working on mythic Highmaul and are 1/7 mythic. We're
looking for a 1-2 committed, reliable, competent DPS to join our
ranks. A boomkin or kitty would be nice, along with something else,
perhaps a shadow priest. All applicants are welcome. Reliability,
communication, competence, and a willingness to improve your play
are the most important things. Our guild only raids two nights per
week for a weekly total of seven hours. We raid Thursday and Sunday
nights from 7:00-10:30 central, 8:00-11:30 server. Although we are
casual in this sense, we are still serious in that we work hard to
maximize that time and compete on the WoWProgress rankings. We
consider our position to be a strong accomplishment since most
"raiding guilds" spend three nights per week raiding for a total of
anywhere from 9-12 hours. When comparing attempts to obtain a first
kill, and not a timestamp, which gives favorable bias to guilds
that raid more days and hours, we rank quite well.
Challenge Modes - We run gold medal challenge modes, and we
currently have one group with 4/8 golds. During Mists, as of
12/9/2013, we completed full gold medal tier sets for 13 people in
our guild (Deathknight, Deathknight, Deathknight, Hunter, Shaman,
Shaman, Druid, Druid, Monk, Priest, Priest, Paladin, and Warlock).
At one point we had realm best time for Mogu'shan Palace, too,
which granted some of our players the "Mistwalker" title.
