Empowering Success Together
Forged in Shadow: Achieving Greatness As A Black Guild In World of Warcraft
Join us as we unionize, strategize, and dominate as we explore the journey of building a powerful Black guild in the world of Azeroth.
Our Beginnings
In a gaming world often plagued by racism and bigotry, we desperately needed a space where Black players could feel safe, respected, and truly enjoy the experience. Our guild was born out of that need—a refuge where we could escape the hostility of online gaming and build a community rooted in camaraderie, understanding, and empowerment. We’ve endured more than we should have and this is more than just a guild; it’s a safe haven where Black gamers can thrive, strategize, and conquer together without fear of prejudice.
01
Racism
Experiencing racism in online gaming is exhausting—constant slurs, stereotypes, and hostility that turn a space meant for fun into a battleground for dignity.
02
Bigotry
Bigotry in online gaming creates a toxic environment where prejudice overshadows community, turning what should be a shared passion into a source of alienation.
03
Homo/Transphobia
Homo/transphobia in online gaming turns an experience meant for connection into one of exclusion, forcing players to navigate hatred instead of camaraderie.
04
Misogyny
Misogyny in online gaming silences, belittles, and dismisses women, turning an outlet for enjoyment into yet another arena of inequality.
05
General Toxicity
Online gaming breeds negativity, turning what should be a fun and collaborative experience into a hostile environment full of insults, abuse, and disrespect.
06
Low Confidence
Low confidence and self-esteem create a constant battle within, where doubts and insecurities overshadow strengths, making it difficult to believe in one’s own worth.
RAIDING
Our raid team in World of Warcraft is committed to tackling every challenge Azeroth throws our way. We’ve conquered heroic content and are now gearing up for the ultimate test—mythic raiding in season two. With strategy, teamwork, and determination, we’re ready to push our limits and achieve new heights together.
We are currently recruiting with priority to warlocks, mages, monks, and druids. We are also looking for solid, committed tanks and healers to join us on this exciting journey.
MYTHIC PLUS
Our Mythic+ team in World of Warcraft is all about pushing the boundaries of our skills and teamwork. While conquering raids, we’re now setting our sights on Mythic+ dungeons for season two, ready to take on higher difficulty challenges and refine our strategies. Whether you’re looking for intense dungeon runs or a supportive team environment, we’re recruiting players to help us tackle the toughest Mythic+ content and claim victory together.
Five Fifths also does introductions to higher-end content where we provide coached one-on-ones or group sessions.
PVP
Our Rated PvP and Battleground team in World of Warcraft is geared up for intense, competitive action. After honing our skills in casual PvP, we’re diving headfirst into Rated PvP and Rated Battlegrounds for season two, aiming to climb the ladder and dominate the competition.
If you’re ready for high-stakes battles, strategic gameplay, and a tight-knit team environment, we’re recruiting players who want to bring their A-game and achieve greatness together in the world of PvP.
CASUAL
Our casual section is all about enjoying the game at your own pace while still being part of a supportive and fun community. Whether you’re farming mounts, collecting mogs, or just enjoying the journey, we host weekly runs to help you collect everything you need.
We also provide fun rewards for our casual players who contribute provisions through professions to our competitive teams, ensuring there’s always something exciting to earn and enjoy. It’s all about having fun, relaxing, and getting the most out of Azeroth, no pressure—just good times and great rewards!
