Ascension was formed on Blackwater Raiders in late November 2006 around the idea of raiding and PVE play in Outland, as well as the Caverns of Time. We captured the majority of server-first kills from Gruul all the way through Illidan (#2 on Kael’thas by less than 24 hours >.<).

At this time, we have also completed all Northrend 25-man content including 3 drake Sartharion, and we are preparing ourselves for the release of Ulduar.

We are mostly experienced players with 1+ years in WoW and other MMORPG’s. At this time, the majority of our core raiders and officers have been members of the guild for at least one year, and a fair number have been members since the inception of the guild or within a few weeks of it. We have extremely low player turnover due to strict recruiting policies. It’s not easy to join us, but it’s easy to remain, because we don’t recruit jerks, drama queens, divas, or prima donnas.

Despite our primary focus on progression-oriented PVE raiding, we are not a “hardcore” guild per se, although we count a fair number of players who would describe themselves as hardcore among our ranks.

For lack of a better term, we are “casualcore”. This means that requirements for entry to the guild are more along the lines of a somewhat casual raiding guild, and the primary necessity is the ability to get along well with others. However, if you wish to raid with us as anything more than a backup/spare player, you should tend more toward the hardcore end of the spectrum.

We raid 4 nights per week, 4 hours per night. Players are expected to be on time and fully prepared with all applicable consumables 15 minutes before raid time (6PM to 10PM PST, one five minute break at 8PM PST). Raiding members are expected to maintain 75% or better attendance to keep their rank.

We look forward to speaking with you.
