Why Us

We are formed from the core of a previous TBC/WotLK hardcore 10-man progression guild. The guild founders are theory-crafters and gamers of no small skill, but as the game has grown up, so have we. Balancing the real world and our love for the camaraderie of playing with a tight-knit group of people and seeing the content that the game has to offer has resolved itself into a more relaxed, but results-driven experience for any in the guild. We keep it small and tight, and that helps to prevent that feeling you can get in larger guilds where if you're not with the "in" clique, then you miss a lot of the great content or opportunities.

Who We Are

We've chosen the guild name , building off the term "deus ex machina" ("god in/from the machine"), which typically references a sort of cop-out solution to otherwise "unsolvable" problems. "Animus Ex Machina" plays on this, instead meaning "Mind Machine" or "Mind in the Machine." Conceptually, switching in "Animus" makes the statement that, as a guild, we put our minds together to solve problems and that we overcome obstacles using the team's insight and intelligence.

Scheduling

Our scheduling is based on Eastern Time Zone as most of our members hail from that part of the country. We raid Wed and Sat nights from 8pm to 11pm. People are on almost every night from around 5pm ET to about midnight, and are usually down for Mythic dungeon runs or other guild events.

Who We Want

All skill levels are welcome, but we expect guildmates who are newer to the game to be open to and proactive about learning more about their chosen class and spec to continually improve and rise to meet the challenges of the encounters. We have a team of very dedicated gamers that can help point you in the right direction without making you feel like you're not good enough. For those more advanced, we are always happy to learn from each other as well and would ask that you help new members get geared, trained, and ready to go.

You've known them in game for years. They excel at their gameplay, but haven't found a home yet, either. Invite them as well, because it's always better when you bring a friend for killing time.
