I think we can all recall our first guild, but we can even better recall that guild that first made us feel like we were a family, in a place that could be a home in game, and even outside of it. Guilds such as these are rare finds, and guilds who manage to have this sort of feeling within the guild, don't tend to also be raiding guilds. We have blended the two to get a casual progression guild that actually kills stuff!
WHAT'S IN A NAME?Introducing (or re-introducing!) The Forty-Second. Our guild is named for the answer to life, the universe, and everything. We even have some dolphins! We've been around for over 5 years, and will be around for plenty more because we've stuck to some core values that have been unwritten, but universally understood.
1. There is no reason a guild cannot be a progression raiding guild, and also be good to one another and care about each other's goals and achievements just as much as our own.
2. There is no reason to beat people down and act like elitists if they screw up during a raid. We hope that the person will learn from it, and if they do not - to handle it with tact and care one-on-one instead of hurtful negativity, particularly publicly.
3.There is no reason for drama to exist in a guild full of people who care about each other and mutual goals. It has never had a place in The 42nd, we just don't foster a place where that kind of stuff is allowed to fester and grow.
4. People matter more. YOU are who matters to us. We are a community of people with rich and varied backgrounds and lives, not toons who serve one purpose, and as such - we value one another.
5. Real life comes first. No matter how often you play, something will always come along and disrupt that game time now and then, and sometimes reality can be harsh. We understand that things happen, and when tragedy strikes in whatever form it takes - not only will you have a home to come back to if you need time away, but you'll also have the support of your guildmates in the meantime.
6. Lots of rules are silly. Be mature, responsible and know that while you're wearing our guild tag above your head that you represent all of us.
7. Don't forget to have fun while pushing your limits in game. This is a game after all, and we meet within it to have our share of the fun within it. Taking yourself or the game too seriously only leads to burnout. We have a lot of fun here in The 42nd, but we keep things classy.

OTHER EQUALLY IMPORTANT STUFFSSo here are the boring things everyone reads on every other guild recruitment post.
We are 7/9 Heroic Tomb, and we have historically managed to clear current Heroic content to get "Ahead of the Curve".
We raid on Thursday and Sunday evenings from 7:45 - 11pm server time. (and sometimes Wednesdays for a "fun run" - though not required, nor usually, progress).
We are based on the triad of servers: The Sha'tar, Moonglade and Steamwheedle Cartel, Alliance - EU. It's an RPVE server.
We are opening recruitment for dps, but please note that those who have tank or heal offspecs are more versatile, and hence - able to do more within the raid team. Being able to play more than one spec is super helpful :) Any exceptional raiders are welcome to apply.
We're also open for social members, we have quite a large community of social players who do everything from old content and achievement farming, to mog hunting and mog runs, and plenty more.
APPLY HERE: http://thefortysecond.net/LAST THOUGHTSIf you remember your first guild, or the one guild which treated you like a valued person and not just a number to add to a raid force, it's because those kinds of guilds are truly amazing. Here in The Forty-Second, we're lucky to have such a great group of people, who celebrate our differences and unite in common goals. Come rediscover that feeling of wonder, family, fun, and feeling like a person - not a number.
You can also contact Kittkatt-TheSha'tar by in game mail, in game live, or any of our officer team who will be glad to answer any other questions you have!
LAST THOUGHTS - no...really this time.Bonus points if you're a gnome.
