About Ignotus & Our Family

Ignotus is a tight knit group of gamers that thrives on strong friendships built over years of gaming. Competitive and dedicated, we strive to better ourselves as gamers, conquering personal goals and developing the teamwork and friendship that makes end game content profitable and fun. While it's true that we are a tight knit bunch, new players are always welcome into the fold; however, becoming a member of Ignotus is no trivial matter.

We are determined to make sure that not only are new applicants a good fit for us, but that we are a good fit for them. We want to open our family to players who have the same mindset that truly makes every member fit in, regardless of what background they come from. We look for players who wish to be able to log into the game and chat or play with buddies any time they feel like it, while also being able to turn their game face during times of need, allowing us to rival the best.

Ignotus of Stormreaver was formed on October 10, 2007, but our past originates back to the World Of Warcraft launch date. Originally, we created a guild called Minerva on the Alleria(PvE) server. From there, all of our friends from LineageII and Earth & Beyond joined the roster and we began leveling our characters. In January of 2005, we reformed under the name Defenders Of The Duck, and continued our recruitment process, meeting entirely new and great people who we grew to call friends. In the following months, we began raiding with other guilds in Molten Core and Onyxia, attempting to learn the strategies and get a feel for the World Of Warcraft raiding game. A few months later, we boasted a roster of over 90 active unique members, and were having great successes of our own in Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair.

Unfortunately, Defenders Of The Duck started heading down a downward spiral. Some players wanted different things out of the game than others, some were having conflicting personal issues with other members, and the stress was starting to pour onto all of the members. Our attempts to raid 40-man instances internally within our guild had us to grow too big too fast; we were bursting at the seams and were blinded by our desire to conquer Molten Core. Many of the former members relocated to various other guilds on the server, while many others decided to take a few months break from the game, and in time return - on a new server with a fresh start.

On January 12th, 2006, many of us rerolled to the horde and started a new guild named Minerva on Mannoroth(PvP) where we played until October 2007. When the new school year hit we lost many of our active roster and were unable to raid. After weeks of trying to recruit and resolve the situation, we decided we would move one final time here, to Stormreaver(PvP). In early October of 2007 we began making new characters and on January 1st, 2008 we had our first raid.

We have been playing this game for a very long time, and have learned a lot through our past experiences. Ignotus boasts highly skilled players with attitudes and heart where it counts, and promises to grow to be a dominating force on Stormreaver through PvE progression. We would like to thank all the individuals who we have shared memories with in the past, especially those who stayed behind on Mannoroth, and look forward to meeting new players in the future.
