DENWO[edit]

Are there any WoW guilds that could be considered notable? ~MDD 46 96 00:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In principle, yes, it's possible. This one, delete. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 00:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There might be notable guilds, these guys aren't. JoshuaZ 01:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I wouldn't consider any WoW guilds notable (and I'm a WoW player myself). Even if there were, this would not be one of them. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Gosh, you really had me scared for a short while there: since when have they started Willy on Wheels Guilds?? LOL! - the.crazy.russian (T) (C) (E) 03:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Ha ha! Very amusing indeed :). ~MDD 46 96 03:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, trying hard to imagine how a MMORPG guild would be notable in any real sense. Kuru ^talk 04:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Well if the guild had done something noteworthy, like been one of the first groups to organize an economy where one could buy and sell things for real world cash, that would be noteworthy. Or if the guild had a large number of noteworthy people in it, or was very large, or it got into some interesting legal dispute. In any event, there is no evidence that this guild has done any of that. JoshuaZ 04:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Still trying to get my hands around it. If they helped usher in some unique aspect of a game or series of games (the economics suggestion above), then a mention in the description of the aspect would probably suffice, unless maybe they were consistant innovators that drove change in several games? The legal dispute one is interesting; but is the dispute notable or the guild? Just out of curiousity, and I swear I won't meddle, but are there guilds with wiki articles now? Kuru ^talk 00:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment Here are some, and I haven't made any promise not meddle with some AfDs. Knights of the sphere (say hello to AfD) The Seven Swords (possible AfD, if notable notable for the book not for the guild), Stray Dog strut (ooh, doesn't even try to claim notability, someone should prod it). Guild Amicus (begging for an AfD also) Operation CWAL is an example of a guild that is arguably notable. Another example of a possibly notable guild The_Syndicate.

    - Comment Twelve Prophets is not a great example; the information on their exploiting there is a bit inaccurate and not comprehensive, but I'm not in a good position to fix it, even if this guild was sufficiently notable. About the only WoW-related guild I can think of offhand that might deserve a page is Fires of Heaven but more because of their connections to several game developers, and for their well-known message boards, than for their accomplishments in WoW or Everquest specifically. But as you can see, they don't have an article (yet). Kiti 01:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't play, but I've heard that there are a few guilds known for using hacks and cheating extensively - I think that might be notable, as well, especially since that sort of behavior forces the developers to patch the game. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 22:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I would consider a few guilds sufficiently noteworthy, but generally because they or their members have made a lasting impact on the development of the game and/or the MMORPG genre. There's some interest in seeing how developer X's experience in guild Y influenced what he did with game Z; but a page like this one which is just "we killed a lot of the big baddies in the game" isn't noteworthy or interesting to me despite playing WoW.
