History
Magnus was born in May 2005, when a group of players were willing to achieve major goals inside the game.

In September 2005, Timotor, the founder and Guild Leader at that time decided to leave after reading Burning Crusade expansion would increase the level cap, just before the guild achieved it's first major goal, beating Ragnaros.

After several months under Corrupt's leading, the guild progressed through Blackwing Lair, and was the third guild who downed Nefarian on  Neptulon.

With the apparition of AQ40, the two major guilds in the server suffered many drawbacks when some of their core members decided to take a break. This resulted in a feeding of best players from Magnus to those guilds.

When the guild had recovered from two very strong drawbacks, Naxxramas appeared, and it meant a killing kiss to the guild. Current leader at that time, Elgor, thought best solution was a merge. This merge didn't go as planed and ultimately lead to the shutdown of the guild.
 * ' -- Some members are planing to come back for the expansion, and it might mean the restart of a glorious guild..

Newer History (TBC)
As predicted, many former members of Magnus returned and reformed the guild when The Burning Crusade released, again under lead of Timotor. He and his group of Officers are yet again leading the force of Magnus to raid.

With renewed spirit the guild seeks to thrive as it once did, good luck people!

Recruitment
'''We now have a complete raid setup for our guild. However Magnus might still need your help to reach even higher goals.

Guild Ranks
In Magnus we have a ranking system that are made for one purpose, that purpose is to maintain the structure of the guild. This means that in general we have an officer rank and a member rank, alltough its a bit more complex if you take a look at it.

here follows ranking system from top to bottom:

  Guild Master  Officer  Old School (1)  Member  Trialist  Lesser Lifeform (2) 

- (1) Old School members often tend to be a rank given to a person that have been in the guild from the start, but have stopped playing, or play little. More of a honorary title.

- (2) While Lesser lifeform are a rank given to a person whos behavior over a period of time are unnacceptable. May also be given to player just for fun :D

Professions & Professionmasters
What is a Professionmaster and what is their task?


 * The Profession Masters are those persons within the guild which are best equipped to suit our needs for each tradeskill, this meaning that these persons we choose to be Masters for each respective skill, already must have above basic knowledge about his tradeskill and the respective recipes for that profession.


 * The main idea is defined like this: take for instance an enchanter, the service to perform an enchant upon your item should not cost any money inguild, but the materials needed for the enchant should then be brought with, incase of buying the whole 'package' money will of course be involved to compensate for the materials used. Same goes for all others, ex. Alchemy and pots.


 * In Magnus we try to aid eachother as much as possible, thats why we've developed this system. with this system we aim at being completly self sufficient when it comes to providing items for our members. this list was originaly posted at the forums, but i've allso added it here to show it.

PvP
Currently there are no official Magnus PvP teams, although we had such a team in the past, Fragnus. This team, Fragnus consisted of Magnus' Top-notch PvP'ers and played as a Preformed team in all available PvP scenarios. Today we aim at recreating Fragnus and restore the teams reputation.

Quotes
Many Magnus members have made even more notable quotes during our time in Azeroth, and later Outlands. Here follows a list containing some of them.


 * The top Quote, being produced by our very own Kittie during yet another Onyxia farm run back in the days. Do i need to say more?




 * Another goodie comes from Eleonidas, while clearing karazhan. We have great fun, even tho we wipe a lot at places we shouldn't wipe;)




 * Magnus got epics ingame.

Guild Messages
When we renewed the guild at the start of The burning crusade Release we were reluctant to remove our old guild messages that had been in place for oh so many months. In an attempt to save em Aeriankork copied em to a file and later added em to the forum. Today the last remnant of these messages resides here:

Past Guild Masters
Magnus has had many great leaders during the guilds long lifespan. Some of the guildmasters resided in the position only for a few moments, while others such as Timotor have lead the guild for a longer period of time. Even though some only had the position for a short while all have contributed emensely towards keeping the guild alive and making it what it is today. Here follows a chronological list of our former GM's from first to last.
