Paragon: Elitism Wanted Hardcore RvR (DEST)
par·a·gon
-1.a model or pattern of excellence or of a particular excellence.
-5.to be a match for; rival.
DESTRUCTION
United States (PST)
<Paragon> was created specifically for Warhammer Online. We are a collection of hardcore gamers and their friends/family from many previous MMO titles. Some core members have been playing with each other for over ten years, and most recently have come from World of Warcraft and Age of Conan.
With over a decade of leadership experience, we strive to be the best on our server and the world. Inquire about our WowJutsu. Very selective and very elitist we make the necessary sacrifices to be the best; and require every new member to do the same.
Our paramount mission is to be the best and promote an aura of excellence. We are professionals who will never settle for second best; and have many accolades under our belt to prove it, from Ulitma Online to Warhammer.
Hardcore experience is a must but if your someone who has had to carry the weight of others, now is your chance to be among peers who do not need to be spoon fed strats or encouraged to do what it takes to be prepared... we're veterans of the genre and only except members with similar experience.
Pledging starts now, put your applications in, interviews begin Sept 7th

More about Paragon:
Many of us play easily more than 40+ hours a week in preceding MMO's, as we have a strong passion for gaming. Many of us probably spend at least 5-10 hours blogging or participating in some form of Meta-Game on top of that. Whether we have no lives and such is really a subjective assessment that isn't up to anyone but the individual; and really no one cares at this point, we've all been told we have no lives by somebody. Some players hate on hardcore gamers and hardcore gaming but we sacrifice a lot to be on the top... health included, especially on opening, lol. Paragon indeed has its spectrum of members in the guild, as we have a long history and many friends / family that migrate with us, but our core must fulfill requirements and perform at an expected high level of play to remain core. Warhammer is not the first MMO for anyone in our guild, everyone has played at least 3 years of MMO's before WAR; even our casuals.
Waaagh!
Hardcore people who are fanatic about the genre are who we are looking for, because we don't want to waste any time while we raid. We want people serious about content, serious about progression and serious about character development to apply and will not take anything less. A guilds raiding success is based on how productive your structured time is... two guilds spending the same amount of time on content can have two very different outcomes. We play seriously and are rewarded for it, it is a game, but during raids it's all business. It's business time!
I personally work in the Online Gaming space, and MMO Gaming has become my biggest hobby and is part of my occupation. So, I personally have spent the last 11 years in the genre, and log in easily 42+ hours a week, for the last 6 or 7 years. I attend E3 almost every year, except last year, and I went to PAX this year, yesterday, to speak to Paul Barnett myself, and I have my pics with him and video on our site for those interested. Im a genuine fan of the genre and the community subculture and want to be with hobbists who are just as passionate. Maybe I should've said,
"Looking for Alpha Nerds"
We have yet to accept a single app yet from this site, and this is only one avenue among many paths we've taken for recruitment and we still need to see more apps from players that are like us and share the same enthusiasm for the game and genre. And, we dont accept applications... until we see people's in game performance. Oh and regarding our name, it's serious I guess but, we take ourselves seriously... my motto is,
"It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle"
The hunt for solid, hardcore members has begun but this is only a small step. Hope I've cleared some things up. Again, we're not trying to be anything we aren't but we're not looking to spoon feed folks, we want already trained and experienced raiders as we will not take the time to teach simple principles like: Pathing 101, Aggro Management 205, Healing Rotations 352, or Line of Sight 102 classes.

Still looking for a few more applicants..
Have players from Canada - USA - Australia.
Looking for a few more.. Check us out.
I wish you luck. But my wife would leave and take my kids away if i tried that. Requirements little too much for raiding plus my job.
I have to do crazy amount of stuff for my gf to get time to play too :P
Thanks for your honesty, and all the best in War.
i was thinking about applying but it seems to me your guild is more focused on pve raiding.... whats with that?
Actually I'd say we are more PVP. But everything in warhammer requires you to PVP before you can do PVE end game.
We have about 12 ppl on vent chatting up war atm if your interested.

BUMP!
Forming elitist guild for super casual MMO pst.
Requires that you have played most of the previous MMOs because that requires skill and determines that you have it.
WERE SO AWESOME NONE OF YOU MADE IT! (aka we have no common sense on who is good and who isn't...)
Many of us probably spend at least 5-10 hours blogging or participating in some form of Meta-Game on top of that. (ok I really don't need to make fun of this do I... I mean... it is already funny by itself.)
I attend E3 almost every year, except last year, and I went to PAX this year, yesterday, to speak to Paul Barnett myself, and I have my pics with him and video on our site for those interested. (Ok, I've been to E3... It just isn't one of those things you tell others to grab them...)
Must have 1700+ WoW arena team. (ok I threw that in there for the hell of it.)
In all seriousness... with all that you typed for this guild post it should be obvious this is a very CASUAL MMO to you too. If you really WANT to be this hardcore about a video game you should probably go back to WoW.
Keep your comments to yourself, we know what we want.
