CHAPTER 1: Once Upon a Time, There Was Saruski
The Root of Absence (2012-2013)
The genesis of Saruski (Andrea in real life), the future legend of World of Warcraft Free-to-Play (WoW F2P), is rooted in deep sorrow. Between 2012 and 2013, Andrea suffered the devastating loss of her childhood friend, Sara, who tragically died in an accident. Unable to process the grief amidst painful memories, Andrea made the radical decision to move to England alone, seeking a refuge for her emotional wound in geographical isolation.
In that self-imposed solitude, her younger brother suggested she try World of Warcraft as a way to "escape her problems."
The Labyrinth and the Digital Sanctuary.
Andrea's initiation was complex. Seeking to play without paying, she stumbled upon a temporary version preceding the Starter Edition which only allowed her to play for 10 days free before the account expired. Astonishingly, for nearly a year (2012), Andrea was trapped in this unsustainable cycle, constantly creating and losing her progress due to her desperate need to maintain the distraction.
It wasn't until 2013 that she discovered the permanent Starter Edition (capped at Level 20). This discovery transformed her temporary distraction into a stable commitment.
To finalize her account, Andrea made foundational decisions: she created an Alliance Worgen Hunter with an appearance designed to resemble her friend Sara in human form, and adopted her friend's affectionate nickname: Saruski. WoW F2P became a personal sanctuary for perpetual union with her friend.
The Hunter's Lineage: Bikko and Ethics.
The choice of the Hunter class was inspired by her mentor, Bikko, a highly respected Pandaren Hunter in the European F2P scene (2012-2014).
Saruski was drawn to Bikko’s technical skill and, above all, his exemplary character—his kindness, generosity, and integrity—values she had not yet experienced in virtual interaction. Bikko gave her the advanced tricks and basic concepts, but made it clear he was only "the cane that helped her walk better." Saruski's ambition became twofold: to be a pioneer elite and, simultaneously, to be a kind, heroic figure, the ultimate tribute to Sara and Bikko.
CHAPTER 2: The Forging of Temperament, Potential, Conflict, and the Bikko Method.
Bikko immediately saw Saruski’s immense potential, but training was arduous. Her focus manifested as impulsiveness and nervousness; she was too direct and didn't think things through, unable to grasp the structured, mechanical logic of the game. Bikko's challenge was to teach mechanical patience to a player driven by emotional urgency. His method was subtle: he gave her the tools but forced her to embrace the self-reliant nature of the Hunter so that true strength would be forged in the solitude of her own mistakes.
The Digital Purge and the Legend's Rebirth.
After about a year, Bikko decided to retire without warning, disappearing to force Saruski’s independence. This silent departure caused a fresh emotional breakdown. The rage and frustration led her to stop playing for a few months, and in an act of desperation, she deleted her character and all her WoW progress.
But it was in the silence of those months that true maturity took hold. Saruski finally assimilated Bikko's lesson: strength must be self-sustaining. In 2014, she returned. The Hunter, now forged by resilience, created a new character, same name, same class. As a first strategic objective, she exiled herself to an English server and realm. This served as linguistic immersion and a true clean slate where no one knew her, testing her autonomy.
CHAPTER 3: The Master's Method: Discipline and Purpose, The Focus on Perfection and Visibility.
Saruski's method in 2014 was simultaneous and obsessive. She proved her worth in both PvP (Battlegrounds for notoriety) and PvE (obsessive dungeon farming for discipline).
Her visibility was accelerated by submitting clips to the international channel WoW Starter Edition F2P. Though this channel's subsequent forced closure led to the loss of most of her early videos, this setback taught her media autonomy, leading Saruski to create her own YouTube channel to take full control of her legacy.
Initial Recognition: The Cachet of Veteran Status.
Saruski's first major tangible achievement was not a trophy or gear piece, but the recognition of her commitment and her Cachet of Veteran Status. Her consistent dedication, despite her difficult beginnings, placed her among the most respected players. She earned a name as a player "who is here to stay." This initial respect was the foundation of her influence.
Closing the Foundational Chapter.
With veteran status secured and the pain channeled, Saruski had fulfilled the promise made to her mentor. She was now using her growing visibility to cement a reputation as a kind, respected, heroic figure.
The sad story had given way to an unbreakable commitment. Saruski was ready for the narrative leap toward her prime: the migration to the Horde, the founding of her international community, and the milestones that would make her the greatest legend ever seen in WoW F2P.
But that is another story, which we will get to on another occasion.

Wednesday 20:30-23:00 Sunday 20:30-23:00

9/9HC 5/9M

<Fun is for Casuals> is a serious but casual horde guild on US-Hyjal. We are serious about raiding without the intense hours. Even when recruitment status is none, we will accept exceptional applications for all classes.
Our raid times are Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30PM to 8:30PM server (PST) with raid invitations sent out a few minutes prior to that.
We're interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
Raid attendance is essential. We don't want people sitting on the bench but we also want to make sure we're raiding 6 hours per week. We expect you to be available for at least 90% of our raids. Be on time and prepared for raids. This includes flasks and other consumables. Discord is mandatory and a working mic is desired. You're appropriately geared for our current content. Effort and thought have been put into your gear/gem/enchant choices. You wouldn't show up for a job interview looking like a *filtered*, why would you apply to a guild with improper gems or some insane spec? You're up to date with your class. We expect our raiders to perform to the best of their abilities. You have a computer that's not run with hamster power or requires a hand crank. Some encounters are taxing on a computer's resources so if your toon can't even handle Orgrimmar it's not likely to do well with 20+ whelps that need AOE'ing. You may be interested in us because:
<Fun is for Casuals> uses the personal loot system. There is no loot council, or DKP. We won't eat your babies the first time you stand in something you have no business being in. Repeatedly do it and we'll break out the bibs and BBQ sauce. We provide a limited amount of consumables and flasks on hard mode raid nights. Discord isn't a circus during raids. We're focused on the job at hand and you should be too. We don't want someone to miss a an interrupt because they were distracted by fart jokes. We are not interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
You roll on BoE items then sell them. Unwilling/unable to spend an entire evening on one boss during progression. While this is rare, it can happen. Drama queens. If you have a problem bring it up to E. This is his job. Don't announce it in guild chat or during a raid. Your issue will have nothing to do with 99% of the guild. You are 17 or younger. We try to keep guild and discord chat PG-13 but occasionally a few four letter words appear out of nowhere. Additionally, we don't want someone's mom interrupting their raiding to get homework or the dishes done. Follow the instructions at https://gow.gg/fun-is-for-casuals under the Recruitment tab if you would like to apply.
