Faded Heroes: A History & Classic Goals

Kurnmogh

Hi. I'm Kurn and I'm the guild leader of Faded Heroes. We're an Alliance guild on the Pagle Westfall Classic server (PVE/Eastern).

History

Most of us originally met each other while playing World of Warcraft on the Eldre'Thalas (US) server on the Alliance side. Many of us were part of a guild named Fated Heroes -- which is why you see that logo in the header. We thought Faded Heroes accurately represented us, nearly 15 years after first encountering one another. We're all older and maybe even a bit wiser!

Fated Heroes was disbanded back before Burning Crusade came out. On June 1, 2007, a group of us got together and formed the guild Apotheosis, which still exists on retail Eldre'Thalas. We worked our way through Karazhan, Gruul, Magtheridon, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, Mount Hyjal and finally Black Temple, downing Illidan. Things broke down in early Wrath, but we reconvened in Cataclysm and went 7/13 25-man heroic in Tier 11, 6/7 25-man heroic in Tier 12 (Firelands) and 8/8 25-man heroic in Tier 13 (Dragon Soul).

Classic Goals

Despite some of its nuances and annoyances, by and large, we loved Classic. The world was huge and unknown, gold was scarce, PVP titles were impressive and if you could do a 45-minute Baron run, well, by golly, you were amazing.

We're out to enjoy ourselves. We want to have fun. With so many more years of WoW under our belts, we feel as though we're probably going to be more competent overall, and many of us weren't awful to start with! :) So our ultimate goal is to have fun together. That said, we do have long-term raiding aspirations. At the very least, we'd like to hit up ZG (when it comes out) and Onyxia and Molten Core. For now, that means a ton of levelling and a lot of dungeon runs and attunements and long quest chains! (Jailbreak might still give me nightmares. Just saying.)

Through it all, we want to laugh and joke and still manage to get through Scholomance under three hours. We want to make more amazing memories together, whether it's like when Daey got the nickname Football (after his gnomish self got punted while pulling The Beast in UBRS), or doing the Baron run in 45 minutes and the quest bugging, or having to run Jailbreak for Majik twice because he died, or finally downing Venoxis because we finally didn't stand in the poison.

These memories endure to this day because of the people we made them with. We want to make more. And if we happen to pick up phat lootz and SWEET EPIX at the same time as we laugh ourselves silly, well, that would be just fine.

Joining Faded Heroes

At this time, recruitment is closed as we level together and have fun. When we're ready, we'll open up recruitment. Thanks for your interest! (That said, if we were ever guilded together, hit me up on Twitter and we'll chat.)
