August 27th, 2008 at roughly 8:30pm Central Standard Time, The Mad Ducks entered the world, the World of Warcraft.   The Mad Ducks is a new World of Warcraft (WoW) guild on the Windrunner server.

he guild was originally formed by Phsycoticus, a Shadow Priest who had solo'd his way to level 60 and then soon realized that in his quest to grind and power-level his way to the top, he'd missed out on a considerable amount of the storyline and a great deal of fun, the raiding and instances, killing the big bosses and most importantly, looting all of the great gear from their lifeless bodies for profit. 

Hey, it's just a video game.

Having been in and out of several guilds throughout his ingame life, Phsycoticus knew that he wanted his guild to be different, to uphold a certain degree of unity and participation from it's members and the only way to do that would be to keep it small, organized, easily manageable, and most importanty, fun for everyone. 

Fortunately for Physoticus, his creater (that's me) had some military background training and understood the fundamentals of a small, well structured and efficient organization. And while he strays far, far away from such a structure in his personal life, he knew that his new guild would simply not be successful without it.

The members of The Mad Ducks would need some sort of an incentive, above and beyond what other guilds offer, not only to merely keep them in the guild, but to also keep them interested in participating in events and even willing to contribute time and effort into the general background administration of the guild. And the best way to acheive this would be with good old fashioned competition, and a little bribary.

As a result, The Mad Ducks have adopted a few new concepts such as our trademark "Peking Plunders", our elite "Mallard Special Forces", and even our own exclusive secret "quacking" language.

Not just anyone can be a Mad Duck. Potential Ducklings must overcome some pretty tuff challenges and be able to pass an intense initiation period before proving themselves worthy.  But don't let that scare you. While members of The Mad Ducks are serious about the game and represent some of the best players on the Windrunner server, with a name like The Mad Ducks, you know they're having some fun too!
