<Goon Squad>

"...Goon Squad, native to the Mal'Ganis server (PvP), nearly pulled off a maneuver that would have made me transfer my character instantly." -Wired

"Most major city invasions I've seen are pure zergfests, with "strategy" equating to numbers. However, this video, detailing an Ironforge invasion by Goon Squad shows that you can get the job done with fewer numbers and more finesse." -WoW Insider

" In World of Warcraft, the legendary Goons of the Mal'ganis server had figured out a way to slay the revered nonplayer character that rules their in-game faction - an achievement tantamount to killing your own team mascot." -Wired Why bother with any other guild?

<Goon Squad> is by and large THE best guild on Mal'Ganis, if not all of World of Warcraft. We're over 1200 accounts strong, with many members having multiple level 70 characters. Within the guild we have countless crafters with every available tradeskill and even the rarest recipes. <Goon Squad> has multiple raiding teams for all levels of content farming each and every boss in Outlands with every reset. We also have regular retro raids. Never got to see the bowels of Naxxrammas? Not anymore!

Aside from all the above benefits, <Goon Squad> also has a massive Ventrilo server, six tab guild bank fully stocked with flasks, potions, elixirs, enchanting materials, over 30,000g for repairs, and other Tier 5+ consumables freely available for every GOLD level and above member. We also have an extensive DKP system which has been running for four years strong and a massively active forums system. What are you missing?

How to join!

First and foremost, you need to select your desired membership level-

Bronze Membership

<Goon Squad>'s most basic membership. Along with a guild invite, BRONZE members get access to <Goon Squad>'s vast pool of crafters, Ventrilo server, and forums. BRONZE members also may raid Karazhan, but are capped at saving no more than 250 DKP at any given time.

Silver Membership

Along with all the benefits of BRONZE membership, SILVER members are able to raid with <Goon Squad> 25 man raid teams in Gruul's &' Magtheridon's Lair, as well as Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. SILVER members have their maximum DKP limit raised to 500 and get priority in 10 man raids. Upgrading to this membership level also allows members to pick up Tier 4 armor tokens as well as participate in <Goon Squad> pre-made honor farming battleground groups.

Gold Membership

As well as all the previously listed membership benefits, GOLD members are able to raid Tier 6 content. The DKP limit is once again raised to 1000 total DKP, and the DKP cost of items is discounted 10%. GOLD members are allowed access to officer chat and special GOLD-only forums. GOLD members also get raiding priority over lower memberships, the ability to pick up Tier 5 tokens, and complete free access to all of the consumables in the guild bank. Only GOLD and above members are invited to Mount Hyjal and Black Temple.

Platinum Membership

<Goon Squad>'s highest membership level. PLATINUM members of course are awarded the bonuses of all the lesser memberships, but have no DKP limit, a 25% discount on the cost of DKP items, the ability to pick up Tier 6 tokens, and a guaranteed slot in all raids. PLATINUM members are given moderator status on the forums, and the ability to mute lower members in guild chat. Only PLATINUM members are considered for application to <Elitist Jerks>, a <Goon Squad> spin-off guild which otherwise is closed to new members. Membership Dues

A guild as large as <Goon Squad> would not be possible without full time guild managers. <Goon Squad> currently employs a guild master, three raid leaders, and an systems administrator responsible for keeping the forums and Ventrilo server running smoothly.
