Halcyon was a World of Warcraft raiding guild formed so that a group of friends could game together. The guild was created in early 2013 and stopped playing in August 2021.

Our goal was always the same; efficient raiding WITHOUT enforcing alts, PTR tests, split runs or a treadmill grind inbetween tiers. Alts were welcomed, but not enforced. Above all we wanted to maintain a chill and enjoyable raid environment.

Originally we played a very limited schedule of nine hours per week spread on three days. However as the time it took to clear tiers shortened we decided, in Battle for Azeroth, that the schedule did not make sense any longer for our enjoyment for the game. Planning around real life would be easier by raiding more compact as opposed to locking in three nights a week for an extended period of time. As such we later changed to raid the first five days of mythic progress from 18 to 23. Immediately after that initial week we went back to our regular progress schedule:

Progress Raiding hours after first mythic week:

• WEDNESDAY 20.00 - 23.00 ST
• THURSDAY 20.00 - 23.00 ST
• SATURDAY(New, added raid day for Shadowlands)
  18.00 - 23.00 ST
• SUNDAY(Usually weekly clear)
  18.00 - 23.00 ST

We always raided with our raid logs publicly available. A rigid schedule was important to us such that we may plan real life around it.
