Server:Moon Guard US

Guild Progression · Crafting Alliance

For the night elf organization, see Moon Guard.

Moon Guard is a role playing server with approximately 500,000^{[citation needed]} players. As of July 2016, Moon Guard continues to be the most populated RP server and is largely 65% Alliance and 35% Horde, according to RealmPop, with peak times reaching approximately 5000 players. The number of people online begins to rise at 12:00 RT (RT = Realm Time), with both factions peaking at 20:00 RT on Horde and 21:00 RT for Alliance. The lowest population is at 6:00 - 7:00 RT for both. All races are popular. Death knights, druids, and paladins are the most plentiful classes on the server, while Warlocks are the least played class on the server (though you can still find plenty and in fact all classes are popular as Moon Guard is the most populous RP server). While there are plenty of people who do not RP on Moon Guard, casual RP can still be found in many of the main cities of both factions.

Moon Guard's players are a part of battlegroup Emberstorm.

Roleplaying

• Moon Guard is known as having a highly active roleplaying community heavy on the lore of the game on both the horde and alliance factions and is calculated to have the most RP, with the server Wyrmrest Accord coming in second as having the second most RP. It has been famous as a haven for roleplayers who are mainly interested in WoW for RP first and the other aspects of the game secondly if at all, especially prior to 2010. As of 2012, the community is being actively revived by dedicated moon guardians and is becoming a haven once more.
• In general, Alliance tends to be more RP-oriented, though true and good RP exists on Horde as well. Many Roleplaying Guilds focus on the roleplay of specific races, RP-pvp-pve, storyline RP, forum RP (MG tends to have an active forum-using community for RP organizing and more), combinations, and  more.
• The district known as Goldshire, however, is infamous for having the largest ERP community around.

Alliance

• Keleos Soran is a heroic raiding guild.
• Elysium is a draenei-focused guild centralized on Velen’s prophecy regarding the army of light. Join us and help build Velen’s dream of a united Azeroth! We offer a friendly guild environment and PVP/PVE and more! Applicants can find more information on the website above. We've been RPing Draenei since 2007!

• <Shadows of Argus> is a a Draenei-focused RP-PVP guild, based out of the Exodar. <Shadows> is, in part, an intelligence service and covert ops organization operating in support of the Hand of Argus. More than this, though, it is an order of Draenei who are perhaps more practical-minded than some of their kin when it comes to doing what they think needs to be done to further the interests of their people. This includes working with character classes and personality types that other Draenei might not choose to associate with. It also means they're willing to use less-tasteful methods of getting the job done, when necessary.

• <Fellowship> is a guild founded near the end of July, 2012. Its purpose is to provide an environment similar to that of the original World of Warcraft society. While small, this guild gives players the opportunity to enjoy all of the original World of Warcraft game play styles and characteristics at any given time with its friendly membership and helpful officers. Three Governors lead and provide for the paths players might take for their game play - PvE, PvP, and RP.

• <House Wintercaste> A secretive chaotic neutral role play guild based on the leader Arsheron Wintercaste's claimed heritage to noble birth. Known to players for its criminal activities they exploit the traffic of various races to fund more hidden agendas, they only accept members who pass their initial application screening and who are of twenty years of age or older. They also host various RP and RP-PVP events with members of Horde side guilds and assist other guilds through promotion and campaign recruitment on the Moon Guard forums.

• Audacity

• [1] We are a druid guild comprising mainly kaldorei but worgen as well. Night elf and druid worgen both welcome. We are RP and have a good time. Join us today! All we require from you is that you have a desire to RP, RP sometimes if not a lot of time time when you're online, try to bring some more RP to Darnassus, and be a respectful, polite player. No ERP (if you want to make an alt...fine...as much as we frown on Goldshire...but not while you're on as a guild member!) ICly we are a group of close friends and members of the Cenarion Circle who seek to restore balance to the world. None of us are "bad guys", all of us are good, nice people ICly (and in real life, too- or so we'd hope!). :) See the roster and contact any of us, particular our GL; you'll likely be given a high rank as the guild is still new and moving up! We are really only RP, not focused on anything else much, though of course you're free to do stuff like PvP and PvE on your own- we do tend to do some questing together. Join <Cenarion Guardians> today!

• The Bearers of Light A mature, family-oriented roleplaying guild devoted to Benevolence and Charity.

• [[2]] Fandu-dath-belore? <Order of Malorne> is a Heavy RP guild that has been around since 2010, based on Moon Guard-US Alliance, and focusing on Kaldorei and Druid lore. We are currently accepting applications from Night Elf players of all classes except death knight (no death knights under any circumstance) level 20 or higher and with all types of roleplaying experience. Though experienced role players are preferred, we enjoy helping newer roleplayers learn their lore and develop their characters. We are a fun-loving community seeking likeminded roleplayers to join us. Please visit our website to register and read our forums, guild lore, rules, guidelines, and to fill out an application. We are kind of a "hardcore" role playing guild in that we expect all members to be active on the website, attend a minimum of 1 guild event per week, and actively participate in RP consistently. We don't allow ERP and only 2 characters within the guild- so 1 main, and if you wish, 1 alt. Contact Lissalli (grand druidess, GL) or Arikh (high druid, second-in-command) in-game and RP with us and other members in-game before applying. Start learning as much kaldorei lore and culture as possible (and lore in general). Our members use that Darnassian language button and /g chat is all OOC so that we encourage more in-person face-to-face RP. We are more of a community of friends and like-minded hippies than anything and though we have a structure of command, we are far from a military organization. Hope you have a wonderful day (er, night...we children of the stars tend to sleep during the day of course! :D Haha, we're often on during the day as well- most active times are in the evenings, about 5-12 server time). Ande'thoras-ethil.

• Kismet Kismet’s presence on Moon Guard is to offer a place for those who believe that their own actions have a profound impact on their life and those around them. Each member believes that no matter how insignificant the action might be, it affects the path his or her life takes. This shared belief provides the basis with how each member lives their day. There are far too many on both sides, the Alliance and the Horde, that have forgotten the basics of humanity and only live for greed and selfish acts. They have all but forgotten the concepts that brought peace in Azeroth many moons ago. Kismet will remind those how even our smallest action can have cause ramifications for years. We question those who believe that war and destruction is the only recourse left. We will bring retribution to those who show little regard for humanity, be they Horde or Alliance.
