Welcome to Nighthaven!
We are happy to have caught your interest. 


Our history
Our guild was founded by Alunaria as a place to socialize, participate in guild events and dungeon runs, and meet new people from all corners of the world and all walks of life.
A lot of us know each other from the era of Vanilla and have been in the same guild before, and both the Leader, Guardians, Keepers and Sentinels of Nighthaven all have many years of leadership experience behind them. Because of that the roots of Nighthaven have already grown deep, have been cared for for years, and we consider our foundation to be very solid.
We offer a welcoming home to all those who seek to have the best overall experience possible. As a group, we value the journey more than the destination and we are a guild, where the quality of our players matters, not the quantity.
A guild with a community true to Classic WoW.
Since the launch of Classic, we have had the joy to expand further and welcome many wonderful people into Nighthaven already.
As one of the first guilds established on the server at the day of launch, you will find Nighthaven on the World of Warcraft Classic PvE server called Pyrewood Village.


Social Guild
When we say social guild, we are essentially saying, that this guilds primary operating principal is kinship and communicating with fellow members. This is the very essence of what this guild is. We aim to be a guild that provides us all with an online home that is safe and relaxed, with people sharing the same mindset, and everyone within Nighthaven has gone to great care to make each and every guild member feel welcomed into our home and our hearts.
Whether you level fast or slow; a place to share the excitement and joy over all the small things you encounter, that we all remember so fondly.

Our commitment to our members starts directly during the application process and carries out everyday by playing, talking and sharing with fellow members.
As a Guild, Nighthaven is embracing and welcoming to anyone that shares the same values as we do, no matter what you want to do in game; be it casually levelling, exploring, picking flowers, raiding, roleplaying – you name it.
We often get together to quest and run dungeons, and throughout the year we have several larger guild events, such as our Brewfest Celebration, our Christmas Mystery and our Story adventures. Things such as a good old Fishing Contest or Ironman Challenge finds their way to us as well.
We take great care of our members, old and new, and once you join us, our Keeper will reach out to you to help you settle down well within our home.

Who we appeal to and who we are
The average player we appeal to is usually in their late thirties or older, with a family and real life responsibility, and with a history of World of Warcraft that means, they are looking for a place to settle down and take it with ease. To enjoy the journey.
Who we do not appeal to are players in search of progression in terms of raiding. Where we do have a weekly run to Zul'Gurub, and some of us might join a pug run to one of the 40-man raids from time to time, Nighthaven has no intentions of growing their player base with a focus on raiding. We are here for each others company

We have many couples and parents within the guild, and the age of our members range from 20 to 60. Our average peak hours are from around 20:00 on most week days. Our activity during weekends can vary, and due to the nature of who Nighthaven appeals to, some of us are not active in game in the middle of the day. The exception are these times, where the world situation means many work from home and are more flexible with their gaming hours.

Community Behavior
We expect our members to behave in a mature, dignified, and composed manner befitting of this guild and what it represents. Members who use unbecoming mannerisms towards other (whether in guild, trade or any other means of communication) may no longer be a part of us. If you are being abusive towards other players, then you will be separated from the guild with no warning.
We all gather in Azeroth to unwind and relax from the strains of real world situations, so we do not feel that it is too much to ask that potential candidates refrain from using vulgar language (including profuse profanity, racial remarks, sexual remarks, unwanted advances, religious defiling remarks) towards one another or any other member of the community.
We strive to have our naming policy to be lore friendly in order with the RP universe we surround ourselves with every day, so we cannot accept people with offensive character names.
As a member of Nighthaven, we hope to see you participate and connect with your fellow guildies. A lot of effort has gone into - and is going into - caring for the forum section of our guild and you are encouraged to visit our website on a weekly basis to keep up to date with what is going on; be it future events you don´t want to miss out on or important updates concerning our guild.
