WHO WE ARE
We are a guild for those with social anxiety. Our goal is to create a no-pressure, judgement-free environment that enables members to explore aspects of the game that they have previously been kept from experiencing. Nothing is worse than not being able to do something in WoW (or any video game, or real life, for that matter) because you’re just too afraid or because you don't have anyone to turn to. Our intent is to establish an atmosphere, and even more so, a support network, that empowers those who are paralyzed by social situations and allows them to come, play, and be as they are.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Anyone who has social anxiety (or a similar social disorder) who wants an understanding community to play WoW with. If you're someone who:

  • is terrified of public chat channels, including Vent (Mumble, Teamspeak, etc.)starts
  • hyperventilating when a dungeon or BG queue popshas avoided large chunks of game content because of other players
  • immediately logs off for the rest of the day (or week) after a wipe because you fear that it was your fault
  • is nervous and sweaty just thinking about applying to this guild
  • experiences any other irrational (but entirely understandable) anxiety because of interactions with other players

  • then you're probably a perfect fit. There are no specific requirements to join, aside from a completed application.

    IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN JOINING
    Visit our website at swordsforeveryone.enjin.com and apply there. Make sure to read our guild charter. Contact Cantafrond in-game or at cantafrond@gmail.com with further questions or issues.

    I think this is a wonderful idea. As someone who is constantly struggling with various aspects of social anxiety in the game (and understands the kind of tension getting a simple achievement can cause), I wish you the best of luck!

    I rerolled to join this guild the day he started it. Then I liked it so much I realm/faction changed this toon to be in that guild.

    I have already seen content I had never seen before and am really enjoying the atmosphere of the guild. It's a very friendly no stress place to be.

    All I can say is, if you have any of the issues he mentioned you should check us out!

    Oh wow, this guild sounds absolutely perfect for someone like me! I'll check out the website now. Although, the "is nervous and sweaty just thinking about applying to this guild" definitely applies to me... e_e

    What if you just have problems in everyday conversation?

    For instance, every time I talk to Drove, I end up creeping her out.

    But I like it that way.

    Carry on.

    I feel bad for the people who log after a wipe, even if it was your fault, leaving doesn't help you learn what you did wrong :(

    If you or your guild would like to get together for some pvp, we have a similar approach and have no expectations of people in terms of gear, specs, or compositions. We do it for fun, not to win.

    This is a wonderful idea, since I experience some degree of social anxiety myself. I might have to consider sending my (un)dead mage over to you guys.

    This sounds like exactly what I've needed since starting playing! Most of the reason I haven't got a lot of PVE under my belt is because I get very, very nervous that I'm going to screw up and everyone's going to hate me and nnnnagh and no, the entire group being strangers from other realms who will never see me again has not helped this any.
