Guild:Distorted (Icecrown US)



 is an guild of people who excel at playing World of Warcraft. It is not an uber guild nor is it strictly a "raiding" guild. Members are typically real people that balance game time with real life. These people may be professionals, may be married, may have children, and may have other responsibilities in life, but enjoy playing and excelling together. We pride ourselves on having a relaxed atmosphere. You won't find the strict rulings common in most large guilds. Players aren't forced to specialize a certain way, raid attendance is not required and loot is handled through a non-dkp system between the allied guilds. Members are expected to have fun and enjoy themselves with their guildmates.

Individuals seeking membership in Distorted can submit an application through the main website. It is reviewed by officers and evaluated based on class need and guild references.

Guild Raiding
 raids weekly and tracks all raids via the guildportal calendar on the primary website. We also participate in a venerable and successful guild alliance with Clan Blackwatch and Amaranthine. Together with our friends, we've been able to tackle larger content that individually our numbers would not allow. A former member of the alliance, Band of Fury, particpiated in content up to BWL.

Guild History
The nature of an online guild is entirely determined by the participation of the members. There are several groups of players within the guild that have played together for years online. None of these groups desire to control the guild with a heavy hand.
