We have a silly name and a cool tabard.

History:

Muffins became the guild it is today practically by accident.

In Burning Crusade, three alt-aholic friends decided they were tired of the barrage of ninja guild invite spam they always encountered while playing their low level characters.  Having just set up a guild for their Horde team, they realised they ought to do the same for all their Alliance alts.  Named for an inside joke about an enthusiastic waiter and a scent machine at the local Denny’s, “I Have It Set To Muffins” was born on 03.03.2008.

Excluding those who just helped us with the signatures, the roster was entirely our trio's alts, and that's it.  Eventually some real life family and friends began playing the game, and I invited them to join so it was easier to help them but still it was just our small little band.  We bought several tabs in the guild bank and filled it full of the kind of things new characters need most.  It had tons of crafting materials, plus bags, potions, foods and miscellaneous BoE blues we thought someone might want.  The goal was to make the guild a good place for alts to level up. With our mains as members of an established and well-respected RP guild (and me as an officer, no less), there was no intention or desire to ever be a "real" guild.  We had no meetings, no rules, and everyone was the same rank.  Muffins was just supposed to be just a cheap way to avoid guild advertising when playing other characters, with the added bonus of a bank and chat channel, nothing more.  

Following that philosophy, Muffins was (and is) zero recruiting.  In fact, we had always been on the exclusionary side; I often was asked for an invite by people who liked the name, but I always told them no: friends and family only.  But although I never outright tried to get other players to join, I did let close in-game friends know their alts were welcome to join and access the guild bank.  Several took me up on it, and several more asked me themselves about their new guys or bank alts.  After awhile, we had a decent amount of low level characters in the guild.   But still we were just a small alt guild.

Gradually, our ranks began gaining level 80s.  New friends and family hit 80 on their first characters.  Our own alts reached the level cap.  A few close friends from our raid approached me and asked for a spot.  Some people who had moved all their alts eventually moved their mains, too.  Some rerolled new "mains" from previously secondary characters.  Friends brought in more mutual friends.  Guilds disbanded, interests shifted, mains were relocated, and suddenly a lot of my raiding buddies were in my guild.  By now, I realised we could not really call ourselves an “alt guild” any longer and began thinking about our direction in the next expansion with the awesome new guild system.  Finally, last month, I resigned as officer on my main and moved her to Muffins as guild leader to join the others.

While Muffins is still a small guild, we are now home to nearly 80 characters, 24 different accounts.  30 of them are level 80s, with approximately 10 more closing in.  We have veterans of classic WoW and brand new players.  We have every profession covered by at least one person.  We have PvPers and RPers and lots and lots of raiders, some of which are in the top

Oh and also?  Everyone is awesome.  <3
