Bang Your Drum!

[bloodwire]

I am one of the guild leaders of The BlackHand Order. We are a guild with about 300 members currently playing AOC and EQ2. The guild was established in 1998 and we've had successful divisions in games such as Anarchy Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest II, Eve Online, World of Warcraft and more.

The majority of the guild is currently playing AoC, but with the state that game is in at the moment, we are seriously considering moving to WAR. Most of our members are western Europeans, with most coming from Scandinavian countries and England.

Our guild web-page is at: The BlackHand - We always prevail!

Hi I am the GM of a clan/guild from the FTP Codemasters game Archlord. Our guild was - at last check - in the top 20 of over 1300 on the server. We are active and comprise a player base that differs hugely. We have players from all parts of the world and all walks of life (ranging from IT and graphics development manager from a Xerox office to school kids). When the guild was started only 10 months ago it was started with one primary goal in mind - Support and enhance the enjoyment of the game for all members. This is still a priority. As codemasters have been found lacking in the provision of general in game events we have taken it on our selfs to provide and fund events for the other guild members. We also take part in the weekly siege battles and encourage all members, regardless of level and PvP ability to join in. We have also opened up in game chat rooms on numerous occasions and invited all new players in the game to come along and get answers to any questions that they have regarding the game in order to make the experience better for as many people as we can.

Me and my partner are solely responsible for administering the guild, it's web page and it's forum. We have recently bought a domain and hosting purely for the guild and are online at least 6 days a week in game. Visit our sight Here. The forum if viewable only to registered members.


Mostly our guild/clan consist of heavy gamers who all have experience of MMORPGs in one fashion or another. Some even play 4 and 5 at a time - though how the hell they find the time is beyond me. Personal experience of MMORPGs include WoW, Rohan, Shayia, LastChaos, Dekaron, InfinityOnline and Sword of the New World to name the ones off the top of my head.

Responsible and Respectful behaviour are a must from our guild members and we do not tolerate otherwise.

Having spoken to a number of members in game we have opted to sign up for your beta as we are looking for something that offers a fresh challenge. We hope to get included in the beta and look forward to hearing from you soon.

[Nibor]

My name is Nibor Hood and i am the GM of Shadowlords Society.

The guild has over 100 members acording to our forum and as an old DAoC guild we are intrested to join the Warhammer guild beta for mainly 2 reasons.

1. we intrested to help to get the game as good as possible

2. most of our members missing rvr as no other game could top DAoC so far.

a little history:

Shadowlords Society was founded in Ultima Online.
With the start of DAoC we played a major role on the server Excalibur.
Nowadays the guild is split, while some members went to play Warcraft others started a career in Lotro.
After a short visit at Pirates of the Burning Sea the majority of our members are playing Age of Conan at the moment.

My great goal as GM is to reunite Shadowlords at Warhammer.

You are welcome to visit us at our forum

thx for your attention

Supplicium
All Destruction


Check out our latest promo video at
YouTube - Warhammer Online - Supplicium Guild Promo



Currently Recruiting (also available on the site at www.supplicium.org):

EU Players - Open
North American Players - Open
Oceaniac Players - Open
l337 d00dz - None


Member status:

Hovering between 60-70 members total, around 30-35 of which are EU.


Who we are:

- Supplicium (used to be "order of" but that was dropped for clarity's sake, you'll still see the veterans referring to it as OoS from time to time though Happy Roughly means capital punishment, details to be found on the forums)
- Established on the 6th of june 2006 in its current form and still very much alive and kicking
- All-destruction guild, with the option to set up order mirrors for members who want to have order alts.


What we bring to WAR and our members:

- Mature atmosphere, with members selected on a no-weiner policy
- Decades of mmo experience between the members, from mmo's ranging from UO and DAoC to EvE, Guildwars, WoW and even Runescape, you name it
- Experienced officer corps of people who either have officer experience in other mmo's or have been guild leaders themselves
- Active forums (to give you an idea, at the time of writing a total of around 9500 posts, over 10% of which contain under 75% nonsense)
- Ventrillo communication and guildlaunch-supported site
- 3 divisions to share experiences, strategies and tips (NA, EU and OC)
- A casual approach without that having to mean we won't get anywhere, experience serves us well here. Ofcourse, we have a few hardcore lunatics running around as well But don't expect anything forced on our members, we're very much "live and let live"
- RP is encouraged for those who feel like it, we'll be going to an RP server for a more mature audience but we don't force anything on our members (I personally am not an RP'er for example but I don't go around disrupting people's gamestyle either)
- We have pretty ribbons for member achievements!
- You might get lucky and win one of our t-shirts and what not through occassional give-aways by the guild leader


Why should we get into the beta?

Back at the guild beta sign up phase we ran into a problem. We couldn't sign up both the european and north american guild. As the NA part of the guild was the biggest at that point by far we chose them. We never had a second chance of signing up the european side of the guild. Our EU members always pray to the beta gods for a random invite, as we havn't been able to sign up
Our EU members have been waiting for a chance like this for a very long time, and has been really entusiastic, and taken some great initiative. We have had members writing poems, short stories, and making videos ( No interpretative dance videos though ).
We would like to contribute to the contest with a poem, written by our member Eterninox. It describes Supplicium as a guild, and what we hope to accomplish in WAR. The other written works will be posted on our site, if anyone enjoy watching, or reading them.


The Darkness has fallen, the end is nigh
Of humans and dwarves and elvenkind high
For a fearsome guild to being has come
Merciless, destructive, wicked, loathsome

And voices of Tzeentch, Gork, Mork and Khaine
In unison portend eternal pain
To all those who are foolish enough
To dare stand in the regiment’s path

Armour clad figures charge in the fray
Descending brutally upon their prey
Deathly dark magics in the air thunder
Tearing flesh and souls of weaklings asunder

The first strikes have fallen; the dying a-wail
Invoke their feeble gods, to little avail
To ashes crumbles the pathetic defence
That Order thralls did in vain hope commence

Clarions cry of imminent doom
Enters the battle...Supplicium


Pruning:

Our guild leader puts quite some time in what we affectionally call "pruning" (or, "sacrificing to the prune god!").

The concept is this: after you apply on the site, the officers involved in applications, myself included, make sure that your app gets handled within a 2 day timeframe, at which point you'll get confirmation about either being accepted or declined.

After you have been accepted you are expected to post on the forums within the next 2 days or the system deletes the application. This is to keep out people who just apply at 10 different guilds and then check back a few weeks later and basicly wasting a lot of people's time, most importantly ours We like to state this in advance to discourage this type of thing. We expect at least some kind of initiative and motivation on your part, because we're worth it

Once that's done members are expected to make at least 1 post every 2 weeks or they are removed from the roster. Once removed (for this reason or any other) you'll have to reapply like newly arriving people and will only get back in if an officer decides to sponsor the app. Nobody is exempt from this, officers have been cut in the past as well, everybody follows the same few and basic rules If you're going on a holiday or just taking a break or whatever, you can post a message in the LoA part of our forum (Leave of Absences) so our guild leader knows you're still in.

This may sound harsh and hardcore at first, but for those scared off by it, just think about it for a second, it really isn't.

Our reasoning is that if people can't put up the effort to make 1 (one!) measily post every 2 weeks, they stand a very high chance of being the same people who just leech off others and thereby end up causing a lot of trouble and drama. If you've ever played an mmo before, you know how it is.

Our guild leader puts in a lot of time every 2 weeks in going through this process, and I think it's a good example of how the garden is kept clean if you will. It has worked very well for us op to now, which is why we're sticking with it. The proof is in the pudding as they say.


What we are looking for:

- Mature members (we currently have a really good group going and none of us are going to take any chances with "bad apples", as stated before most members have extensive mmo experience and can see drama coming a mile away)
- MMO experience is nice but isn't necessary, we all had to start at some point



Important to note is that as long as beta is going we pretty much have an open invite policy, meaning that just about anybody can get in at the moment under "Trial Beta Member" status, which basicly means that you can use the guild channel for easier grouping and what not and can see whether you like us. However, if you plan on staying with us after beta you'll have to apply through the site to get to what is currently called "Full Member" rank. After release there's a whole range of different ranks already on the table, for more info on that you'll just have to wander around the guild site a bit if you got in


Ofcourse, you can also check out the site at www.supplicium.org



Waaaagh!

Best regards

About TK:

The guild name comes from a recent merger of 2 guilds who raid/socialised together alot.

What started as a small guild for friends and family has grown into a mighty community.
Through grouping, raiding and socialising our good nature got us a top reputation.
After a recent merger with one of our raiding alliance guilds the member base has grown beyond what we ever imagined.

We welcome all people who apply usually on a trial basis to see how things go but have an age limit of 16+ (which gets broken at officers discretion) due to guild chat being rather blue most of time (someone has to think about the kids)
The guild was set up on WoW but has expanded onto other games, Members are a mix of old school gamers from EQ, DaoC to New members from WoW, AoC, LotR, all ages, cultures and creeds.

The guild rules are pretty laid back but believe in the old unspoken etiquette treat others as you yourself would like to be treat, dont rip off guildies and dont spam general channels (too much)
We are not set to one stereotype of guild. We have a contingency that loves to raid, we have a contingency that loves PvP, everyone loves to socialise and have fun and some of us old schoolers love to think of the good old days back in frontiers and cant wait to get our teeth into some epic RvR once again.

We are undecided as to which faction to play on WAR but leaning towards destruction.


Hmmmm now to make you laugh to sway your favour...........

There once was a woman from Eeling... no no no thats not suitable.

A gnome a dwarf and an orc walked into a pub...... nope that may come across as racist.

Just give us beta keys dagnabbit or the squigs get some of this

Unfortunately site broken will be back up soonish hopefully

Hello to the Warhammer Online Community.

About Fuse

Website: http://www.fuseguild.co.uk/war - Please note this is still a work in progress, trying to merge with our World of Warcraft website for more of a Fuse Community, rather than 2 totally separate guilds.

Well, im here to tell you a little bit about our upcoming Warhammer Online Guild - Fuse. Currently we raid on World of Warcraft (Bronzebeard EU) and have a strong community who are waiting for the release of Warhammer Online. We were founded by a close group of British friends, and quickly grew in numbers. Although Fuse has only been founded a few months, we have played many other MMOs and raided under different names - We began with a Guild on Guild Wars who were very successful, but many members got bored of the game so we decided to play on World of Warcraft. In WoW we have played on many realms and have many level 70 characters, in which we are currently having trouble progressing due to recruitment being low. This is because most people in World of Warcraft have progressed past our level due to our re-rolling on different servers to find a home. Hopefully Warhammer Online will allow us to take our sucess from World of Warcraft and place it into a guild whom will quickly grow and progress in the Ranks of RvR.

Currently Fuse is a PvE guild in World of Warcraft, but we do also enjoy performing the PvP aspects of the game - everyone likes a break every once in a while. In Warhammer Online we plan to focus on RvR but also perform some PvE - the total opposite of which we currently do in WoW, but we like a challenge

Why did we choose WAR?

Many of our Officers and members have followed Warhammer Online since it was first announced by Climax, and are also avid fans of the table top game having large armies fully assembled and ready for battle

Paul Barnett is another reason for choosing Warhammer Online - Watching one of his videos convinced all those not yet wanting to play Warhammer Online into avid fans of the game - as a British based Guild with a witty humor, watching another funny brit grabbed us.

Why Choose us - the Tricky Question

The main reason Freddys House should choose us as Beta Testers is our commitment to the Warhammer World, and our final aim to achieve total server domination. Seriously, we want to become an amazing RvR guild who will achieve greatness in the game and will kill any Dwarves who may cross our paths. Although some of our Officers will be in the Open Beta when it begins it would be nice for the whole Guild to come to Warhammer Online and test the system they have implemented into the game and to get a good feel of how to get the guild running before we jump in at the deep end so to speak.

Thanks for listening to me at 02:00am, although im sure you won't be reading this at 2am... and now i'm talking to myself *looks around* - Why am I still up, dedication I suppose...

Good Luck to all applicants!
Torpis,
Guild Master of Fuse

hi lads & lasses

My main char on DAoC is an armsman called Morry. He is the first char I rolled when I started playing 6 years ago, and still active. I joined Shadow Brothers (= SB) about 18 months ago after my old guild broke up. I knew many of the SB guildies through hunts and raids and when I asked if they would have me in guild I was welcomed with open arms. It has nothing to do with me being special that's how all newbies to SB are treated. As Zed stated all our members are adults (some only in age, I'm the eldest member at 61 seasons) The most important for SB is to have fun in playing. Many players are Lgd crafters and we work hard to get your chars templated and are always on the look out for anything new to improve our chars skills and fighting to protect our beloved Ablion. RvR is also high on our list of active events, to improve our tactics we use "Ventrilo" saves time so commands are quickly given and not over key board. To give you an idea how we feel about RvR, SB moved over to Hibernian about a year ago when the number of player went down. We felt that the realms we unevenly balanced and RvR held no challenge for us. Some of the the other guilds in the alliance could not beleave this when we told them what we planned. After much explaining why we were making the move they understood and welcomed new battles. Not only did RvR become fun again but we noticed that the number of Hib plays had gone up, which meant that they seen we were active and wanted to join in our raids. After some time we seen that Albion was no longer the strongest realm so we returned to protect our home fronts At the moment SB is very thin on players, as you know English servers have lost many players due to the different factors
I'm still active and always on the look out for new people joining DAoC or X players returning. I invited 2 new plays to guild last week and spend now a lot of time helping them to level, in saying that I dont mean "power leveling" that is something that we don't do if a player does not know how to play is char. Skill in battle can not be gained when player lvled only on Pling.
My DAoC accounts run out in a few months as I pay them every 6 month. Like many players I can't wait till WAR is released for new challenges and battles. Shadow Brother guild will be there in full force and with all might and craft we can muster up

Shadow Brothers - A Dark Age of Camelot Guild

Elysium
EU Order Guild

Elysium is a dedicated Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning guild. Our guild is real-life friendly, but still a hardcore regiment. To us that means our goal is to become the top regiment on our server, ready to do battle with the best. The guild was formed in summer 2007 and has created a solid community with the same goal; Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. We have drawn experienced players from various genres of computer games giving us an extensive background in MMO's such as: Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft and Guild Wars to mention some. Some with experience as leaders or officers, others as contributing members, but always as the top players in their respective guilds, regiments or clans. We feel this will give us the ability to contribute to the BETA feedback process as we can draw on a depth of both experience and guild management skills.
Our guild (Formerly called Hades) was initially a destruction based guild but recently we took the very serious step of voting on a change to Order. Our reasons for changing to the side of Order outweighed our reasons to stay as a Destruction guild. Two of the main reasons for the change was the seemingly under population of Order and our desire to achieve greatly. Looking through the guilds currently formed we see that Order is not as well represented by focused guilds determined to win relative to Destruction. Order has a solid base of careers to chose from, none weaker then their destruction counterparts. So we intend to tip that scale more to the Order side, as we define being the best as fighting the best. If our enemies are weak, so are we.

Structure
In Elysium we have one Guild Master and 6 Templars. The Templar rank is the ''Officer'' rank in Elysium. All major responsibilities are divided amongst the Templars. While one Templar focuses on applications and recruitment, another Templar will be working out strategies to surprise enemies and ensure their complete annihilation. The Guild Master holds final responsibility for the guild, his job is to coordinate the Templar’s efforts to maximize the guilds efficiency by minimizing the chances mistakes are made. He does this by maintaining the command structure and supervising as well as participating in the all the regiments endeavours.

RvR
Our main focus in Warhammer Online is RvR. We will do whatever it takes to become the best regiment and help our realm achieve victory. If that means PvE, then that’s where you'll find us. If becoming a better PvP / RvR guild requires us to raid the capital city of our enemy, then they better be prepared for what’s coming for them. If we set a goal, that goal will be completed, one way or another.

Our regiment is made up by members who are determined to be the best of the best. They are used to boring grinds, long nights of dying and failing and having the same goal for weeks on end. Having been through all of that we have learned how to improve our skills, adapt to our enemies, come up with strategies to surprise our enemies over and over again. With all of our experiences combined, we know how to interact with our environment and everything in it.

To improve our skills and better our results we will be recording (sometimes from multiple class perspective) and reviewing our bigger fights so that we can see what went well and what didn't (This would be after the NDA is lifted of course ). Where did we go wrong? How did we lose our position in a certain part of this area? What if we put a different career combination in that area? Elysium is the kind of guild that’s always moving pushing forward, analyzing every possibility and variation until the perfect solution is found, then the work begins.

So to the question... Why us?

Our guild is not one that has been formed overnight. We have all come together with a common goal. That of being THE leading guild on our server. To this end every member has gone through a stringent recruitment process and believe me, if you have had an interview with our recruitment officer you will know what I mean... I have had easier job interviews!

Our website is constantly evolving to a higher standard thanks to our very talented design team which has created our site from the first line of code to the last. This encompass any new aspects of WAR as they are announced as well as member requirements to allow us to perform better.

We have a number of very active Community Members as well as the “Lore boffins” which no good guild should be without. You can walk in on all kinds of conversations on our ventrilo server, anything from where orc babies come from to how to build your own computer to the trouble Tottenham is in the coming season with no strikers to speak of.

We have built a new Community from all over Europe with about 40 Members. All of the highest Caliber, all fluent or native to the English language, all with a fairly well working brain empowering them with communication skills any firebrand preacher would envy.

We already have a number of members in the closed Beta. We know this because that’s about all they are allowed to tell us about it no matter how much we torture them. Even as Dark Elves we could not break them, try as we might. Diligent research in what resistance to torture they have been given upon their entry in the beta process has been done, but it is still unknown what dark and insidious magic has been cast upon their souls.

Guild website

[civy]

I am an officer in our guild KotT. (Bet you cant guess what it stands for )

We are a medium sized guild currently standing at around 200 members. The guild has been under its current leadership for over 2 years. Members are from all over the world but mostly from Europe. The majority being English/Dutch and Jock.. erm Scottish.

MMO experience within the guild varies, some being veterans of DAoC/EQ/AC whilst there are others where WoW is their first.

Whilst some as still happy campers playing WoW, there is a sizable chunk of the membership looking for a new game to call home. A number tried AoC but soon gave up when it became apparent it wasn’t the game that was advertised.

I hope you consider the guild for a beta spot. I can’t promise you world beating pvpers, but I can promise a mature easygoing bunch of players.

Our WoW website is www.kott.warweb.co.uk.
The WAR website is under construction. I can give you the URL if you really want to see it, but there is no significant information on it yet.

Hi there,

My name is Jak'arth and I'm the guild leader for the Circle of the Moon.

CoTM was founded over 3 years ago in the World of Warcraft and is still going strong to this day with a guild presence in AOC as well!

Cotm is a "mature" guild for players over the age of 18 and this together with our stance on equality and tolerance for all has resulted in long lasting friendships formed between people from totally different backgrounds.

We have over 30 active Guild Members located throughout Europe many of whom have developed firm bonds of friendship outside of MMPORGS. Regular events both in and outside of the gaming worlds are often on the agenda.

We'd dearly love to take part in the WAR beta, many of us were brought up on a stable diet of Warhammer Fantasy battle and it's really this that first led us all to playing mmporgs (though some of us still play the table top games.)

Our guild structure is fairly straightforward with a High Council of founding members presiding over the guild with appointed wardens assisting in guild duties. You can read all about us at:

Welcome to the Circle of the Moon

Many Thanks

Jak'arth

Hello there, i'm a lone Archer, with 4 years experience - from the realm of dark age of camelot.

Everyone in my realm has gone missing, and it's really lonely here!

Why should you pick an archer without a guild? Cos I need only my bow to win!

I wrote a poem:
Mythic owned 2008 E3,
Now they only need to see,
That i'm the best tester for them to pick,
so dear moderator don't make me sick.

Sick of envy of watching others, playing,
so listen to a dear customer's saying:
A key is all i need,
for my dreams to start as a seed.

I brought my shield,
and are marching towards the battlefield!
So light my pibe,
and let me join the hype!

WAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Love you all! And if i don't get in, i hope every guild has some great fun.

[Uku]

if you dont know who we are , you havent played long enough!

our history:

Nazgul has a long history of mmorpg gaming, the guild was founded in November 2001 in Dark Age of Camelot on the Excalibur server, Midgard realm , we were often in the top 10 of rvr.
Many moved across to World of Warcraft when it was released some playing on Horde and some on Alliance and enjoyed a long successful stay there. where we still are present.

Now some of the brave souls have decided to adventure into Age of Conan , Hyboria and Nazgul was formed on the Dagon server whilst we wait for warhammer!.

Nazgul is not about power-gaming, elitism, or any desperate striving to be ‘the best’. Nazgul is about having fun with a good reliable group of friends.
So if you are looking for a mature, friendly, casual guild that can add a laugh to the game with our mad bunch then we can be found here.

Nazgul :: Index , or our other website here NazgulHQ

as you can also see this isnt a newbie post , we've been on freddys some time including myself and have a long serving history with mythic
