WoW Downfall Guild more than just a guild |
Ó
Although some of the guild members enjoy being real life friends who talk about their latest raid over a pint, everyone in the community feels the strength of the bond they share. Another special characteristic this guild has is that it has a higher ratio of active female members than normal. There's about a girl for every guy in the guild. Some even have real life relationships together.
Proudly led by Garreth who considers his position as Guild Leader just as demanding as his real life job (and loving every moment of it), this crew comes from all over: "West- and East-coasters, Aussies, New Zealanders, Texans and 'The Canada Contingent,'" Garrett claims.
Players who felt indifferent or isolated in their former guilds felt really involved and at home with Downfall. They have found mentors and friends. While this guild focuses on getting better, Garreth said, "I'd rather run-back a dozen times on a new boss than destroy the sense of community and bonds we've formed."
For Downfall, it's not just about the goal. In fact, they seem to enjoy running the race rather than reaching the finish line. Joe McDoug, who interviewed the Guild, actually found them joking around after having a pretty bad raid night. As Joe McDoug wisely pointed out:
There are many guilds in this game of millions. It is easy to point to the one that achieves
the most World Firsts or gains the newest rare item. It is harder, however, to rate the quality of
a guildÂ’s sense of community. While most
of us play this game with some degree of social connectivity— Downfall is truly
a family.
Guilds can share the wealth, but how many share anything else?
