What Does “Ex Cinis Cineris” Mean?
It’s Latin, meaning “From the Ashes.”
How/When Did The Guild Form?
Thanks to long server waits, endless queues, defunct or dying guilds and a myriad of other reasons, we all found ourselves drawn to the Farstriders realm. These wandering adventurers met and founded a new guild literally ‘from the ashes’ of our former gaming existences.
How Active Is The Guild?
Our guild is very active. We have about 40 members who are on just about daily, with maybe another 30 or so who are strictly casual, with another portion that’s come and go. Many of us have a lot of ‘alt’ characters.
Who Are Your Members?
You can view our member list here on the Armory, or here on WarCraftRealms.
Who Is The Guild Master?
The guild master is Archaion.
What is the mission statement?
The ultimate goal is to have fun playing WoW with other gamers who enjoy the experience as well. This in turn will have us all meet and form a bond under the game playing umbrella.
We all know how much it stinks waiting to find a party in LFG, questing alone, or feeling like an outsider in a guild. It’s much better to play and grow TOGETHER, make new gaming friends, and become a recognized guild for the RIGHT reasons. (Not just because of how many members we have.)
Ideally we want to create a guild of players for the player. What does this mean? Well exactly this: we look and strive to find gamers who enjoy playing with like-minded individuals.
Let’s be honest and clear about this: Playing any online game; whether it be WoW or some other game, is our personal escape and relaxation from the everyday humdrums of life. Take that into consideration and share the experience. Don’t bring real life drama into my, your or others’ enjoyment.
Why are you different from everyone else?
We’re not about how many people that have our tag above their heads, we’re not just a RP/PvP/Raiding guild, nor do we have any strict limitations for our members. We just want to have fun in the game, and do it with awesome friends along the way. We are also proud of the fact we welcome ideas from our members.
Do You Raid?
As of February 2008, we started raiding. So, collectively we don’t have the experience that ’strictly raiding guilds’ have, but we’re learning together. We typically have one full team to take on Kara every Tuesday and Saturday nights. Eventually, our plan is to have more than one team, and to slowly progress to newer content for us. We currently have an over-abundance of DPS, and too few healers/tanks for that though.
Do You RP?
At this time, we don’t have any members who specifically role-play in the guild. (Nor is this a strictly role-playing guild.) If members want this supported in the future, we won’t stop them.
This Guild Sounds Great! How Do I Join?
Fairly simple! This page goes into the detail on how to apply. You may also want to look at our code of conduct first before you get started.
What Else Does ECC Offer?
We have quite a few things that we offer, in addition to the above…
- Website
- Forums
- Blog
- Guild Roster
- Guild Bank
- Ventrilo Server
- Photo Gallery
- Shared calendar in the game via a mod to co-ordinate instance runs, raids, parties and other events.
Final Word…
We are a mixed guild with both male and female players. You only need to be an Alliance character, no matter if you are a Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome (they are so cuddly aren’t they?), Human or Draenei; ALL are welcomed with open arms and warm smiles . Frankly to achieve the above mentioned guild goals we are looking for a vast quantity of quality players. So, if you have a friend or fellow gamer who has found a home in Ex Cinis Cineris, then we’re probably doing something right!!! Remember, we’re not looking for drama, just enjoyment. Hope to see you in Ex Cinis Cineris ….
