About Gnomeregan Forever
A Place For Gnomes, By Gnomes
Gnomeregan Forever (G4 for short, no pun intended) is a RP/PvE World of Warcraft guild located on the US-Wyrmrest Accord realm. We are currently the largest—and most active—all-gnome guild on the realm.
We were founded on this server in 2010 by Forbidra, with a vision of uniting players with a love for the gnomes and banding together to make sure Blizzard kept its shortest class top of mind. We are all saddened that Forbs passed away before the release of patch 8.2, which finally provided the most significant gnomish themed content to date.
A Citizens Militia
<Gnomeregan Forever> was born of Forbidra’s frustration over the Alliance’s apparent indifference to the plight of the Gnomish people, as well as a desperate desire to leave the world of the Tall Folk and to return to her safe, boring life as a reference librarian in Gnomeregan.
She began to seek out other patriotic Gnomish refugees to join her in supporting the High Tinker’s bid to liberate our beloved city. Eventually that support coalesced into a citizen’s militia of sorts which seeks to defend Gnomes and Gnomish interests wherever the need may be.
We are not soldiers. Indeed few of us would pass the physical required to join the Gnomish armed forces. As our founding commanding officer, Forbidra tried in vain to instill some military style discipline and precision into her tiny troops. Nevertheless, even after her passing, and under the leadership of her second-in-command Tsumari, G4 remains the most eccentric and unorthodox unit ever to fly the purple and gold banner of Gnomeregan, yet somehow we always manage to get the job done!
Guild Life
Over the years, we’ve been told by our members that G4 is one of the most friendly and positive guild environments they have played in. It turns out that’s no accident—our officers spend a significant amount of time and attention every day to cultivate a positive in-game atmosphere. We strive to create an environment that is inclusive of players at all levels of skill and with all types of interests in-game and out.
This care starts with our membership process. Rather than ask prospective members to fill out an application and dazzle us with their gnomish exploits, each guild member is asked to sit down for a one-on-one conversation with our guild leader or one of our officers. This helps us ensure that every person who joins the guild is aligned with our mission, and will contribute to making the guild a great place to play.

Guild Rules and Guidelines
We do not have an excessive amount of rules in G4, however we are committed to those we do have. All current and prospective members are expected to familiarize themselves with these guidelines and agree to them as a condition of membership.
- Respect the Wyrmrest Accord RP Community. We are on an RP realm. While that doesn’t mean you need to RP, we do expect you to be mindful of the server’s purpose and treat public communication channels such as /say and global defense as in-character communication channels. We additionally expect ALL members to familiarize themselves with the Blizzard RP Naming Policy. RP griefing and trolling will not be tolerated, and are grounds for removal from the guild.
- Treat Everyone with Common Courtesy. Treat others (both inside and outside the guild) with common courtesy, and avoid unnecessary conflict and drama that will reflect negatively upon you and your guild. We expect members to keep guild chat civil, which is why we ask for PG-language and to keep politics and religion off the conversation menu. Further, in keeping with our mission of increasing the respect of the gnome class, we expect our members to not disrespect the tall folk, as we must lead by example.
- Responsible G4 Guild Bank Use. The contents of the Guild Bank are cheerfully provided to help your G4 Gnome skill up and gear up. These items are not to be sold by you for any reason. Nor are they to be given to, or used to benefit any character outside the guild (including your non-G4 alts) without the express permission of the Guild Leader. We appreciate all contributions to the guild bank, however, the Bank Manager may, at their discretion, move items from the primary bank to overflow storage as needed to keep things tidy.
- Member Limits and Alt Policy. You may have up to three gnome characters in Gnomeregan Forever. We do offer a secondary guild to give your tall alts and additional gnomish characters a home. This secondary guild has no limits on numbers of alts, though you do need to have a character in G4 to have members in the support guild.
- All Gnome First Kill Policy. We only allow gnome characters to participate in our first time raid boss kills. We do allow non-gnomes on secondary kills when needed.
