Summer has arrived and we still have a number of openings for raiding members, particularly DPS classes.

If you are interested in joining us please check out the recruitment menu on the right-hand side of this page to see if we are recruiting your class.

You will also need to register with our forums and post an application.

This week saw further progress made in Ulduar (10) with Freya going down on the first attempt of the evening with two Elders up. In addition we also had our second take down of Yogg-Saron.

If you would like to see a larger version of this excellent artwork by Unidcolor depicting Yogg-Saron, it's available here at deviantART.

Welcome to the new home of non compos mentis, an Alliance based, World of Warcraft Guild, playing on the Trollbane (EU) server.

Please note that at the time of writing this website contains pages that are still under construction. Feel free to report any errors you may encounter to the webmaster’s mailing address which can be found at the bottom of this page.

It is intended that the news page will be updated on a weekly basis so Guild members are encouraged to bookmark this page rather than going straight to the forums. Visitors to this site are welcome to register and post in our forums.

We are currently looking to take on a small number of dedicated players to complement our raiding team.

We are a friendly, semi-hardcore Guild with a mature outlook. We have a fairly strict code of conduct which we expected all of our members to adhere to.

You can find further details of our 10 and 25 player raid progress written up in a previous ncm news story further down the page.

We raid 25 player Ulduar on Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Monday between the hours of 20.00 and 23.00 server time.
