Penta is one of the oldest WoW guilds in the world

The Penta Guild was founded in october 2004 by Taldrey in WoW EU closed beta, and it was a great success:

Taldrey was the first alliance mage to reach lvl 60.

He reached lvl 60 on november 10th 2004.

Penta had the second most guild XP, even though we had less than 40 accounts.

Penta had 20% of all lvl 60's on the server.

Penta was probably the most respected guild, because of our kind and helpful guild members.

Due to the great success in beta, Taldrey decided to make the Penta Guild on day one in retail.

Penta is a casual guild

So what does casual mean? Inactive? Slacking? Incompetent? No, not at all.

To us casual means:

- not doing endgame/hardcore content.

- not expect guildmembers to do instances 3-5 times a week into the late hours.

Therefore:

- In Penta you only need to attend 1 game night per week in average.

- In Penta we stop our game nights around 22:00 gametime.

- In Penta we expect you to show up in time, be well (p)repared and do your best.

Penta is an active guild

Even though we don't do hardcore/endgame content, we are still an active guild:

- We have 2 weekly planned events to the 5 man instances, on thursdays and sundays from 18:45 - 22:00 gametime.

- Now and then we have some funny events like our birthday parties and Christmas parties.

- We also do theme nights, where we do achivements and retro stuff.

It's important to understand that most guild members have fulltime jobs, and therefore you will not see many - if any - online from about 9:00 - 17:00 on working days.

We see no point in having inactive players, so if your character havent been online for more than 1 month (2 weeks for players on trial), or havent been participating in our game nights on a regular basis, it will be removed from the guild. If you know that you cant be online for a long time, and you would like to stay in the guild, please make sure to tell Taldrey.

Penta is a mature guild

When we say mature, we really mean mature, not just players above the age of 18:

- Most guild members in Penta are 30+ of age.

- Most guild members have fulltime jobs.

- Most guild members have a girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband and kids.

- We dont normally accept people below the age of 30.

Penta got no officers

We find that in a mature guild like Penta, there is really no need for officers. Our guildmaster and his wife, Taldrey and Misstaldrey, takes care of all the administrative work: forum, website, bank, arranging events, inviting new guild members etc.

Our guild master, Taldrey, also sets the guidelines and the goals for Penta. If you share his passion for a casual, mature and active guild, filled with kind and helpful players, then you will love Penta.

In real life Taldrey got years of experience in management and leadership from work, and he uses these skills in his role as a guild master.

Penta has a zero tolerance policy for bad behavior

Even though we do everything we can to protect our kind, friendly and mature environment, sometimes a player turn out to be, well, not right for Penta, to put it in a nice way. Luckily for our guild members, our guildmaster is not afraid to confront these players and take care of any given problem.

Therefore: if you have any problems, small or big, please contact Taldrey by e-mail or in the game. Let him help you solve the problem in a good way, instead of arguing with each other, or leaving the guild in anger.

Penta has a zero tolerance policy for disloyalty

The relationship between Penta and a guild member is just like a marriage: we stick together for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health... we are loyal to each other. If you only stick around for the better parts, and then leave, we see you as disloyal.

In other words: Hopefully Penta will be the last WoW guild you ever join.

Our zero tolerance policy for disloyalty means:

- If you make an application for another guild, while you are still in Penta, you will be kicked from the guild and the forum immediately without any further notice.

- If you ever decide to leave Penta to join another guild, remember that we don't reinvite ex-members, so think about it very carefully before you leave.

Penta is not a preschool for hardcore guilds

Some of the best hardcore players on the server, started out in Penta. Got the social skills, the training and the good gear, and then left to join a hardcore guild and do endgame stuff. We don't want to be a preschool for hardcore guilds, so before you think about joining Penta, be sure that you really, really want to join a casual guild, that doesn't do endgame/hardcore stuff.

Using Penta as a preschool is a great example of disloyalty.

Penta makes invites based on personality

In order to protect our kind, friendly and mature environment, we are very picky about who we let into the guild. It's not easy to get into Penta, that we will admit, but see it this way: once you're in, you know that all your current and future fellow guild members will be kind, friendly and mature just like you.

The way we see it: instance experience, keys, good gear etc. is something we can work on. Something you can get while being in Penta. A kind, friendly and mature personality is something you need to have before you join. But never the less you must be at maximum level, so you can participate in our fun, while you are on trial.

How to join Penta:

- Read this website carefully and make sure Penta is the right guild for you.

- Contact Taldrey by e-mail, in-game mail or in-game whisper.

- If Taldrey thinks you could be Penta material, he will set up an interview on Ventrilo.

For the interview on Ventrilo you must have a mic.!

- If the interview goes well, you will get an invite and have a trial period for about 8 weeks.

- If the trial period goes well, you will become a Penta member.

Must have programs

In Penta we now use the following programs, that are a MUST HAVE for all guildies.

Our voice communication program, which we use in every instance.
