You're of course entitled to your opinion, but as a member of Nihilum I completely disagree with your assessment of both guilds.

The guilds are not as different as portrayed on this boards, in terms of goal. When Nihilum was out Azrael was clearing every raid target...I would not call that a casual raiding guild. Nihilum is the more established guild in terms on PVE, but Azrael has the capabilities (and desire) to clear every raid target currently in the game.

Also the assessment that you're expected to get levels and gear on your own in Nihilum is literally the complete opposite of the truth. We routinely do hate/fear gear clears, epic fights, etc for applicants, 2-3 days a week if not more. We also run exp groups where often times one or full members with level 60s will be out of group to help assist and guard the exp groups from PVP. People tend to have geared to the tits alts running exp groups very often that will make your exp bar fly.

In the end I would encourage you to pick the guild that you want to join based on your experiences thus far on R99.

We go out of our way to help new apps in Nihilum.

I apped Nihilum on my Wizard, Marius. This was a few months ago. I was constantly called scum, shit bag app, and other encouraging words. I was told I had to attend every raid and get a certain DKP before I could count for anything in the guild. I was told I had to get my own VP key and have at least 120+ in every resist or something before I could become a member. I was not allowed to be tagged or join the guild teamspeak, but told I was not being active in the guild or grouping with members by Nizzar when I asked him why I was being ignored. The one time I was allowed into the teamspeak I was blasted by pictures of hydra penises and videos of children being killed by cars slamming into them, while the rest of the guild laughed and commented.

I went to get married and posted on the forums I was doing so, so I would not be on. Upon return Arzak informed me that Nizzar had me removed from app status because I was not dedicated enough. This is when I decided it was not the guild for me.

When I joined Azrael I was put in the exp group on my first fear raid and told I could try for items along with everyone else while being spoken to like the adult that I am. This has been my experience and the basis for my advice.

Azrael can't compete when the zerg that is Nihilum all log in, as can be seen in the last two weekends, and thus joining that guild would be an easier way to acquire pixels.
