World of Warcraft®

If you are in your mid to late 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and up...
If you have family, work long hours or have a busy schedule...
If the words "obligation", "commitment" and "rules" make you twitch...
If WoW is a place of relaxation versus a second job...
If your guildies don't understand when you say "Sorry, have to log - my kid"...
If you are embarrassed of declining yet another invitation to do a guild run or raid...
If you really can't be fussed with guild spats and dramas and wish folks would just get along...
If you pine for the companionship of other adults who understand your life situation...
If you like to roleplay on your own terms...

Nodding to the above? Perhaps The Elders is for you!

Please note that this guild may not be your cup of tea if you enjoy a lot of guild action and activity (runs, raids, events, meetings). For the most part, we all putter about doing our own thing while enjoying each other's company on the chat channels. That's not to say that we don't do that stuff too sometimes, but it happens when it happens instead of following a strict regiment. The guild changes to Cata will probably inspire us to team up and do more stuff together, but we won't be stressing about it, that's for sure.

Brambline
Usually
Makes
Pastries for us


.....well.......actually not so often after all, but we're still a bunch of nice people

Oh I like pastries

*cackles*

Vanija may be day dreaming about the pastries, but he's right about the "nice people" :-). What a bunch of sweetie pies!

Doesn't happen often that I'm too young for a guild, haha!

Twiffle :-)

Yeah in our guild, even 30 year olds are considered young'uns. Our oldest members are in their late 50's. :-)

Well, only 6 more months and I qualify :)

Llanto looking forward to having you join us then :-). (unless of course you make other plans before that)

mhm sounds so tempting althought i'm in my young 20s and instead i have all the time in the world except not for wow these days... il seriously consider this.

Fabrice as much as I appreciate your interest, we are however very strict on the age limit and don't make any exceptions, sorry.

Well I have submitted my application - seems a nice bunch of guys with no gogogogo mentallity

Welcome to the guild Rikasolklad, judging from your first moments in the Elders I think you'll fit in with us perfectly :-).

Well I've just submitted mine as well. This sounds like exactly the sort of guild I've been looking for and perfect for the sort of player that I am. I think I nodded to everything on Brambline's opening post :o)

It is even said Brambline is an ancient mummy herself, but we havn't found any real evidence just yet ;)

I might push my dad in your direction. >>

Umm could be what Im looking for, do you have level restrictions if I were to 'roll' a charcter?

Djanglaw: It's been lovely having you with us so far!

Llelldorin's right! I'm a 41 year old mother of 2 teenage boys. Which probably explains what inspired creating an "adult only" guild in the first place! My profile on Facebook for the sceptics ;-) http://www.facebook.com/AndreaFryer

Ursala: Please do! We have lots of dads in the Elders, and not just dads with smaller children but some who play WoW with their adult children as well.

Fluk: No level, class, race restrictions what so ever. So feel free to apply (granted you are 25 years old or over)

greeetings ,

I would like to join your guild im in my 40s and have benn playing wow since the begining .
my charcter name is " Zure " a belf rogue lvl 72 i got load of other charcs aswell . zure is the character i play at present

Kind regards....Zure

Hello.
My grlf and I might be joining you soon if you'll take us ofc.
She is 25 and I'm 26 so we seem to be "Elderly" enough :D
The reason we are interested is because neither of us ever tried RP. It seems imersive and fun, I hope :)
We plan to rerool belfs, a priest and a mage, but won't be spending most of our time on Sha'tar...I still have a guid to run on Bronzebeard and all our RL friends and relatives play there.
Anywho my main question is do you have a lot of guildies leveling right now ( hoping to do some dungeons IC), and how big is the server population? And do you hang out mostly in Silvermoon or Org ?

Submitted my application as well. Frankly, you sound exactly the sort of guild I've been looking for a long time.

Ok, my Tauren pally is still pretty low level, but as Cataclysm is so chock full of new content, I decided to start from scratch and go through the whole levelling brouhaha yet again.

But hey, It's about the voyage, not necessarily the destination... :)
