Bang Your Drum!

As most of you know, we sent out a bunch of invites yesterday and now the Guild Beta is well underway. We want to invite more of you though and we want guilds that missed the chance the first time around to have a shot at getting into beta.

So if you're the leader of a guild that wants to try the WAR Guild Beta then this is your chance to show us what you're made of. What we want you to do is to make a post in this thread to tell us why your guild deserves a spot. Sell your guild, tell us what makes you and your friends special and the best ones will be rewarded with entry to the Guild Beta!

It's not a competition as such but there are a few rules:
  • Please only post in this thread if you're entering for your guild. Off topic posts or spam will be deleted.
  • Only one post per guild. Only post for your guild if you are the guild leader or you have the permission of the guild leader to post.
  • Your post must include a link to your guild website. The quality of the website will also be considered along with your post here as part of the submission.
  • This is only open to guilds based in Europe or that have a European branch. Invites can only be sent to European players.
  • This thread will be closed on Friday 25th July at 5pm BST.

Beyond that, anything goes! Make us laugh, write a story, write a poem, explain your guild through a flowchart or interpretative dance*. Whatever makes your guild stand out from the rest. We'll pick winners throughout the next week and a half and contact guild leaders directly.

Good luck and get writing!


*Interpretative dance not recommended. Height restrictions apply.

Hi my name is fura and im leader of nightmares asylum.

nightmares-asylum.com

I think Nightmares Asylum deserves to get into the guild beta because we are currently playing Age of Conan and its just terrible and crashes all the time. Its full of bugs and we feel were already paying to play a beta of a game already. So only you guys can save us and release us from this pain!

We have a pregnant member (female I think) and she has offered to call her 1st born WAAAAAGh! if you let us into the beta too!

Nightmares Asylum is a well established guild and we were very sucessfull in World of Warcraft. We would love to play WaR Beta and we have alot of hardcore members that are looking for a new MMO out there to play.

We like to play competitive PvP and PvE and we are looking forward to WaR PvP system which we heard is alot like DaoC which alot of our members have come from too.

Also bribes can be arranged! (if you like fish or haggis)

Hi there I’m Ragnog ,Officer of The Unnamed Guild (TUG for short)

The Unnamed - A Warhammer Online Guild

Now you maybe asking yourself “why did they give themselves a strange guild name”. Good question thanks for asking. Well it started when we all came together to form the guild….only problem was naming it….after a few hours of tossing names back and forth …one of the founding member kinda lost the plot and started ranting:

(note the bad language has been edited out)

“ Right if we don’t get a name soon….we are going to walking about WAR and people will say ‘look there goes the B******D UNNAMED GUILD!!!’ ”

And at that sudden outburst we were named…THE UNNAMED

We are mainly a UK based guild with a few members hailing from all over the world as well. Even though we are only a year old are numbers have swollen to 70 and are all very active on are mIRC channel as well as vent whilst we wait for WAR. Are ranks come from many MMO backgrounds DAoC, WoW, AoC, SWG, FF11...the list goes on but the one thing we look forward to is WAR . Many of the members, myself included have been following the development of WAR since its conception under Climax studios ( remembers the old video and animations) *shudders*

We are a PvP orientated guild and cant wait to start the charge for one of the keeps just like back in DAoC…as one of are members would say “our milkshake will bring all the boyz to the WAAAGH!”

Currently we are playing abit of TF2 to keep the team spirit going, as well as getting to know some of are newer members a little better.

We have considered doing a little expressive dance at the games day booth but with the shape of some of are members that could be considered a cruel and unusual punishment for the rest of the people attending the event.

Thanks for reading
Ragnog

Smile Semper Dius - EU Order Guild

Semper Dius - EU Order Guild

Semper Dius : Warhammer Online Order Guild

Who are we?
Semper Dius was formed at the start of 2007 by a small group of like-minded players who wanted to epitomise "semi-hardcore": Dedicated, skilful players who have a real life and don't want a regimented Guild experience.
Semper Dius currently has 45 dedicated and skilful members, but are still recruiting. We aim to have just under 80 members at launch.

What makes our guild so strong?
I am not talking about gaming prowess here (although I like to think we have that too!). the thing that defines Semper Dius as a great guild is community. I don't call our web page a guild site, it's a community site. We have members with a wealth of experience from a variety of MMOs; they are constantly debating the nuances of WAR while still finding a lot of time for banter and fun!
The other strength we have is a democratic and respectful guild environment. Every major decision the guild has to take has input and feedback given by all members, and the majority vote wins. You can't please everyone, but this way we know a decision has not been made lightly.

Do we have ranks?
We use a democratic process to make our guild decisions as described above. Because of that we do not have a lot of formal ranks. However, we are very organised. Each Race has a leader who's job is to oversee that Race's members. Come launch it will be their responsibility to organise events for that realm and help to improve people's cooperation and skills. Out of game they are there as administrators and moderators to help the guild move along smoothly from day to day. Then there is me, the Guild Master. It's my job to collate all the feedback and votes for decisions and make the strategy we've decided on. I also am the full admin for the Guild site - a lot of my time at present is devoted to making that the best community platform I can.

Why do we deserve to be part of Guild Beta?
Longevity - This guild has been around for over 18 months and only gets stronger

Dedicated members - the guild selects its members to be dedicated, skilful and compatible with the existing team. We take this game seriously but can bring brevity to the testing process.

Community Contributions - Our members are dedicated to contributing to the community pre and post launch. We have dedicated forum posters and there are certain members who put a lot of effort into fan art, and fan fiction. Our work has been featured regularly and we have been mentioned in both monthly newsletters and the "War from the Front!" In fact I've asked one of our members to write a story just for this, which I'll insert here as soon as it's done.

Experience - Between us our members have played nearly every MMO since they began - I think we might even have some veteran MUD players amongst us too! We know our stuff, and have experienced multiple play styles and genres. We want the opportunity to give professional feedback to make this game what it deserves to be!

Renown - Order guilds are in the minority compared to Destruction from what we've seen so far. I'd like to think Semper Dius is one of the better-known Order guilds in Europe. We won 3rd place in last year's Greeny Awards.

Already testing - We started with a few members in Beta by chance. We've been doing all we can so more members get the opportunity to give feedback on the game. This really took another gear up when GOA announced the Beta competition based on stories and artwork. Our members worked really hard and managed to win some keys into Beta themselves. From that point we have been working our creative butts off to try and get buddy keys for more members. We have been slowly successful, but I'd like the opportunity to have more in the Beta en-mass, so we can test things that need more than just a handful of organised players to complete!

I hope this is OK for now. I'll update this post with the story when it's ready, as well and any other golden nuggets my great guild members come up with! Thanks for the opportunity, and we look forward to more people dropping by our site to say hi in the public forums!

Jaycen

GM of Semper Dius

P.S. while not really a "hi mum" moment, I'd just like to say "I Like Zefire!!"
P.P.S this post was written upside down with a banana. Not interpretive dance, but the effort was there.

Sons of Sigmar

Hello, my name is Hericus and I am an officer of Sons of Sigmar. We are the Order guild and our members are from all over the Europe. We would like another chance to get into a guild beta, since we made the guild a month after the original guild beta registration

Our policy is that anyone can join as long he behaves maturely. Age is no problem and of course anything that makes problems in the real world doesn't exists in our guild: religion (except for the church of Sigmar ), nationality and similar things that can spawn flaming and rude words.

We've been following Warhammer for quite a long time now. Few of our members are full blooded Warhammer Loremasters and fans The guild exists for about 9 months (if my memory serves me well) and since then we have over 100 members. To be honest only about 20-30 of us are really active (others are waiting for the game to come out) and it is that these members would really like to finaly meet each other in the game.

Why do we deserve a spot in the Guild Beta: Well if you ask me (since I'm the one writing this) I will tell you that most people are going slowly insane. The forums are bursting with activity and speculations. But mostly we want to meet each others in the game and to confirm that we are really great guild with great members.

I really can't think of anything funny to say, or some interesting stories. All our members are on XFire and we have really active forums. If you want to hear something funny just check the topic about guild classes on our forums and watch me suffer on them You'll get it.

So thank you for reading my bable, and please visit our site, check the movies (Zeph will really like a comment about them) and join us if you want to fight against the Chaos forces in the upcoming WAR!

'Afternoon!

I am the GM of <The Ministry> and i would like to apply this guild to the guild beta.

The reasons for TM applying and why i think we would be able to contribute:

1. We have a solid memberbase, of which many are committed to playing WAR when it comes out;
2. The Ministry has existed since the DAoC server Excalibur went live and has had a strong commitment and investment in DAoC since 2002;
3. The Ministry has always strived to combine PvE with a strong presence in RvR throughout the years;
4. We have many mature players which are aching for a new challenge;
5. We've had a guild forum running non-stop since 2003;
6. We always seem to find and run into bugs and functionally incorrect features, which always helps in beta tests.
7. We have some MMO addicts which are starting to show withdrawal symptoms;
8 That includes me.
9. We just want to be among the first to enjoy (and uhm test )sacking cities!
10. Doesn't an oldtimer DAoC guild like The Ministry just deserve a guild beta entrance?

The guild forum is located at The Ministry :: Index

Signed,
Methos <The Ministry>

Ginnunga

I am Ernesto, leader of the online gaming guild called Ginnunga.

I figured I could write a little bit about our now rather long history in hopes it could amuse at least some of the readers. I apologice right now for a possible wall of text.

We formed up back in October/November 1999 in EverQuest, and a whole bunch of us have stayed together ever since then. Naturally, over a long course such as 10 years, members have come and gone, but there is actually a surprisingly large core still goofing around together.

EverQuest
When we started out in EverQuest we figured we wanted to have a tight guild, with few rules but also a rather strict moral code. We aimed to form a guild where everyone was friends, but still not slack on the discipline and the fighting standards. We never aimed to be the best but we always looked at quality and companionship. During our time in EverQuest, a funny phenomenon occured that I wish to share with you, a phenomenon we called "patchkids".

You see, in these early MMOs the launch of a new expansion was not a small ordeal. Often the servers were down for several days in a row and many emergency patches occured. Funnily enough, 9 months after the first expansion called "Ruins of Kunark" we had a small explosions of little mini guildmembers popping up and yet again, 9 months after the second expansion, "Scars of Velious" another batch of gnomes appeared. It seemed to all of us, that when we couldn't make heroics in Norrath, we made babies in the bedrooms. I will in no way, shape or form mention any names, especially not my dear friend Makrill, who seems to be strongly in the lead of Patchkid-production.

Another funny thing that happened during this time was what we now call "The Fear of Ruum". Back in these times, the Internet was alot more anonymous than it is now, at least for us, so when our friend Ruum used the face of a known swedish criminal as his Avatar, everyone who wasn't from Sweden, wrongly mistook that photography to be Ruum and due to the very scary appearance of this criminal (known as Christer Pettersson, now diseased) made pretty much everyone in the guild fear him and the one who feared him the most, was our missionary brother Maldran from Pheonix in the US who started answering everything Ruum said with "Yes Sir!" and obeyed his every command.

We played on american servers (Mithaniel Marr) at that time, I don't even think there existed any european ones, but due to our timezone we had sometimes a hard time recruiting players. However, at one point a great thing occured to us, we need to recruit stay-at-home-moms. At this time, without stereotyping things, it seemed that pretty much all the women playing EverQuest played three different classes: druid, cleric or enchanter. All of those very important support classes, that there were few to find, especially in the manly "testosterone" type guilds out there. Since we had a rather friendly atmosphere, we seemed to attract these wonderful ladies, and pretty soon, half of our guild was filled with wives to armymen, who stayed at home watching kids and playing online games, while their men were out serving their countries. We could never have been happier - we got to meet awesome people from the US, as well as have the servers largest overabundance of enchanters. It was a win win situation and I still to this date think that we had one of the highest percentage of females in our guild on the server (30-40%).

Dark Age of Camelot
When Dark Age of Camelot was released in 2001 we moved pretty much the entire guild there and yet again we played on an american server (Kay) for the simple fact that the euro servers got their patches later, and we wanted diversity in our members, we want players from all over the globe. We had a great time in DAoC, for the first time introducing ourselves to 3D RvR combat and alot of our earlier experiences with EverQuest really helped us out here, both when it came to slaying endless piles of monsters in Malmohus, to the famous assist-trains in Emain.

Back in the early days of DAoC, levelling was rather harsh, at least with todays standards, but since we had spent two years hackin away in EverQuest, we had a pretty solid routine to get things going. Basically, we sat down in a camp spot, brought monsters to our camp that we could slay just with autoattacks,and then we let our infamous troll Snyggve drink himself near a stupor with the help of his good friend Captain Morgan, and then have him entertain us for an entire evening in his drunk ramblings.

Since both Snyggve, myself and a few others were Swedish, our notorious friend Skolbyter chose to educate himself in the swedish language, so he promptly went to a fleamarket in Texas somewhere and bought himself an ancient swedish-english dictionary. He then spent the following few months composing insults to me in such a horrible directly translated swedish, you could do nothing but laugh until you cried. Although it means nothing to someone who cannot speak swedish, the now in-guild famous quote "Sot Svala, jag forsvara er heder mot ond gris Kjell" was coined. (Rougly translated, Sweet Svala, I will defend your honor against the evil pig Kjell).

We kept the guild going for quite some time in Dark Age of Camelot, but when the beta of Starwars Galaxies came out, pretty much all of us obtained a beta key, and we battled it out and had a really good time during the beta, but when the game was released, only a very few of us actually stayed and played it, sadly.

The guild was rolling on in DAoC and we merged with some other guild there to keep our membership amount up to a decent level, and with the merged we renamed the guild to "Volsungs" to iron out any merging kinks etc.

Still to this day, we play every now and then on the classic servers, under the flag of "OndGris".

Lineage II
In 2004 the open beta for Lineage II was released, stunned by the amazing graphics, I decided to try the game out. We formed up the guild with 10-15 of our old members, who had stuck together in EQ and some from DAoC and quickly gained a bunch of new friends, who would turn out to be awesome!

L2 was our first open PVP game, and being a carebear and PvE hero in my heart we managed to huggle our way through the very testosterone-filled and hostile enviroment of an FFA PVP game. By being friendly and awesome, we managed to grab a castle, and then subsequently hold that castle for a period of 10 months, which at that time was the longest anyone had held on to a castle.

What separates an FFA PvP game the most from a regular MMO is that it adds an additional dimesion to the game, that being politics. Half the game took place on forums where the leaders and members discussed issuses, whined, flamed and declared wars. Myself being a rather sneaky bastard, we managed to manouver ourselves into a whole bunch of favourable positions just by wordplay and communication.

We were a rather small guild, with mediocre levels, but the rest of the server had been led to believe that we were something fiercly strong and with the use of cunning tricks and alliances, we managed to influence the top game for a very long time without being openly contested in combat.

However, all houses of cards must fall one day. At some point we had managed to ally ourselves with some strong forces in the game, as well as control most of the castles on the server. This led to an alliance of 36 guilds to attack us in our cosy little castle Oren. Now, 36 guilds, that is quite alot, even by more modern and larger games standards. Somehow we and our 11 allied guilds managed to hold the fort and won a landslide victory, which after a few wars had been fought, allowed us to be the first guild/alliance to ever conquer the main castle of the game, Aden more or less uncontested due to peace treaties forged.

A short while after this, I, myself had to move and would loose my internet connection for quite some time. Since it was not possible to transfer the leadership in guilds at that time, we reformed our guild as Reborn under the command of Cogency. Reborn would then after a short while ally together with Enmity and form the strongest and most successful alliance in Lineage 2's history, Uprising.

What we did in Uprising would be a far too long tale to tell here, but there are very very few people who have ever played Lineage 2 that has not heard of us at this time.

World of Warcraft
Lineage 2 wasn't for everyone, especially not for our old PvE heroes from the ages of EverQuest, so when World of Warcraft was released, for the first time we started up the guild simultaniously in a different game. We even went so far to start up two guilds in World of Warcraft, one on a PvE (Bloodhoof) server and one on a PvP (Stormreaver) server. The PvP server attracted most of the old DAoC people, as well as some killing hungry people from EQ and L2, while the PvE side consisted mostly of the awesome people who we first started EQ with, who were now too old, or too busy to play in the more competitive climat on the PvP server.

Ginnunga is one of the only guilds who have been active from day 1 on Stormreaver that is still active and going strong and eventhough we shut down our Bloodhoof section after a while, we decided to start it up again half a year later on the Nordrassil server.

Sword of the New World
When Uprising was disbanded, pretty much a year ago, a couple of us decided to try out the asian free to play game Sword of the New World which we had a great time in for a while, but in the end we decided to abandon the game due to some flaws in the PvP system as well as a very low population on the euro server (Illier). After the nightmares of staying up until 5 in the morning to fight castle sieges in Lineage 2, we had decided to never again play on an american server that didnt have events during our timezone.

Although we have officially abandoned the game, a bunch of us are still playing as guests in the guild Unforgiven on the Illier server.

Age of Conan
Despite not having a very big interest within the guild, we decided to start up a small section on one of the PvE servers (Ymir) since we felt that without our full commitment, it would be bad for us and our image to start halfheartedly in a PvP enviroment.


The Real World
During all these years we have played together, we have tried to have at least one annual gathering somewhere in the world, most of the time time it has been hosted in Sweden, for the simple reason that quite a few of us live there, especially post-WOW and it is very easy to arrange free living for all the guests that fly in. This years meeting was just concluded, eventhough I myself wasn't able to attend this year, but they tell me they had an awesome amount of fun, including rilfe-shooting, waterskiing, waffles, oh waffles and party-boating. Although hard to beat our last year when we rented an island for two days, where we had a huge BBQ and got silly until we all fell asleep in the green grass, just like it should be during a swedish summer!


Online gaming is for us so much more than just a bunch of nicknames behind computer screens. We form friendships and bonds that reach far beyond the borders of cyberspace and reach deep into the real world of flesh and blood. I am happy to say that some of the people I met back in 1999 in EverQuest are today some of my very best friends that carry me through lifes hills and valleys. We are so much more than just a guild. We are Ginnunga.

I seem to be running out of time, eventhough I had planned to describe a few more funny events more into detail, but I hope this little wall of text will be an entertaining read at least for some.


Best regards
Ernesto
Leader and founder of Ginnunga

WAAAAAAAGH!!! I'm Davbo (We don't really have a "leader" since we're all good friends in real life, but I'm the one who organises this rabble)

Guild name: northern Scum.
website: northernscum.org
Flow chart: here
Interpretive dance: see flowchart
Poem: see flowchart

Story:
We're a bunch of dudes that have been playing games together for about 4 years now. All from the UK, although one member is a dirty southerner. I think it was Paul Barnett who described the Orcs as football hooligans, well we're the northerm Scum you're looking for.

We all met up as a Counter Strike clan playing competitive games in leagues etc, meeting up and holding our own lans. Although occasionally we still go back to play (and vow to never play again) it purely for nostalgia we jump on almost every new game out there, incl.

Games we've made more choppy (off the top of my head):
Counter Strike
Call of Duty 4
Star Wars Galaxies
Team Fortress 2
World of Warcraft
EVE Online
Matrix Online
Guild Wars
Dawn of War
Age of Conan

Currently we're all playing:
Team Fortress 2: mostly on our server, which you can join us on here 85.234.148.41:27125
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (all expansions) this is our other addiction at the minute, we love this game!! and can't wait for the sequel.

We're not one of these guilds which recruits before the game comes out, we don't want to let people down by deciding that we don't like it and then not playing. We only recruit people who we enjoy to play the game with, you can't learn that from IGN forums.

That said, there are 8 of us who know each other in real life and we'll build on that when the game comes out.

Thanks,
-- Dave.

ps. WAAAAGH!!

So I am Tyrhem. Leader of The Warcult.

Why you should pick our guild for a beta spot is because then we can actually form a guild and go on the battlefield and kill elves. Drag them all the way to our city by their pointy elf ears and then hang 'em from the biggest building with their heads down. After that we will go back on the battlefield and kill more elves. Make ‘em elves dead like elvis. Chaos will bring destruction to their lands, WE WILL MURDER THEIR SONS AND PILLA—What? Dark elves... Alright so maybe we won’t kill ONLY elves, but I think you get the point by now. Our guild exists of 6 members as of now, with plenty experience in other mmorpgs (and experts in the art of elf mutilation.) WoW, AoC, Lineage, Silkroad etc. etc. ;p

Obviously, our guild will be choosing destruction.

War is everywhere, and we will prove it! If we, y’know, get accepted that is…

We are The Warcult, the poison in your brain!

Insult to Injury - EU Order Guild

Greetings!

Insult to Injury is a recently formed European based WAR guild, planning to play as Order on an EU Core RP server when the game launches.

We aim to provide a relaxed environment where mature players can experience and enjoy WAR to its fullest in the company of like-minded people. A haven away from elitism, guild drama, and l33t-speak. Our recruitment strategy is very much geared towards finding mature and friendly people that wish to mercilessly slaughter the unclean hordes in the company of other mature and friendly people.

We are looking to establish ourselves as the pre-eminent Order guild for older (25+) and somewhat more casual gamers. The kind of gamer that has to reluctantly balance their bloodlust with their real-life commitments, such as a job, family and friends.

Our guild website offers a simple forum for now, although we intend to add functionality as and when required. Recruitment is very much open.

Why do we deserve to be part of Guild Beta?

Well, I'm tempted to say that with our older and more casual membership, Injury to Injury could offer unique beta feedback on aspects of the game that may otherwise be overlooked.

However, the much more compelling reason is that one of our members has very sadly been enduring a state of cruel existential torment for many months over the issue of which career she will eventually decide to play. It seems evident that the own way that her suffering might be lessened is to allow her the opportunity to sample the prospective careers well in advance of the game going live. In this way, we hope that the laborious decision making process will be given sufficient time and space to find a natural resolution.

I hope you understand.

Hello there.

I am writing on the behalf of the newly created Fanatic Gaming guild.

About our guild
We are a destruction guild with 110 % focus on the RvR part. We aim to be the most feared guild all over the european servers - why? because we will leave no one to survive when we PvP. We will gank the silly midgets which runs away like cowards, we will stand up for every single member of our guild and leave nothing but chaos, death and horror.

As to why we should be selected for the guild beta?
We are most deffently some of the most dediated players WAR will ever get. Not just because we will be online 8-10 hours a day, but because we most likely are the only guild that has an actual headquarter IRL. Yes thats right, through the past 2-3 weeks we have build up an entire room for the only purpose: to play WAR! The room is not quite done yet, but when we get our homepage up during the next month, you can check out our 18 km2 GREENSKIN inspired GAMING ROOM.

We will be the slimy scum that will ruin every sort of world peace, which should occure between PvE based guilds.

Fanatic Gaming was astablished by Chesty together with Head and Bolbol.
/ the three of us has a whole career of mmoprgs behind us


OFCAUSE WE HAVE BOUGHT THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION MONTHS AGO ALSO, AND WE SIMPLY JUST CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE OPEN BETA BEGINS.

Total guild members: 13
Officers: 2
Leaders: 3

Homepage: Joomla! - Web Installer (a new URL will come as we launch our website)

Thank you for reading my post on the behalf of my guild and I.

Chesty,
The Shaman.

Guild Name: Cult of the Dead Dragon
Faction: Destruction
Location: EU / UK Servers
Established: 1st September 2001
Website: Cult of the Dead Dragon


Why the name ‘Cult of the Dead Dragon’?
Those that played the EU Servers, more so Excalibur, will remember the Mighty Lord Draven running a group of guys call “The Dead Dragons Society.” Whilst a number of people may be unfamiliar with this guild, we are its ‘offshoot’ or little brother. We are a group of friends mostly, who like to play MMO games and try and complete the hardest of instances with as much fun and high spirits as possible.

Is this a ‘Role Playing’ Guild?
We originated as a Roleplay guild and have several members that are wiling to RP with other members of the guild. This is however not a requirement and whilst we have people into Roleplay, we don’t enforce it in any way. Just be yourself… if that’s a Troll, we’re fine with that...

What is the main focus of the guild?
The first and main focus is to have FUN. We have TeamSpeak servers, we encourage people to use them even if you can only listen in, we understand people are shy sometimes but it does make for a better play when you can hear who your gaming with. We want people to feel free to use the forum and speak there mind, we're not going to smack people down just because we don't agree with you, we encourage free speach.

Is this an Order or Destruction guild?
DESTRUCTION! We’re big fans of everything Chaotic and Dark. We have plans to perhaps have 1 night a week as a breakaway from this, however, where we may run an Order based guild / team for fun.

Is this a multi-racial character guild?
We are DESTRUCTION and therefore we obvisouly despise anything other than that. On a serious note however, we are happy to help people of all types and in the game.

Can I add all of my characters to the guild or only my main character?
You may add any and all of your characters into the guild. As long as you mention to us, which of your ‘alt’ characters belong to you so we can keep track of who’s, who within the guild. On the forums we also have a function within peoples Profiles to set who is your ‘Main’ and who is your ‘Alt.’ This also makes it easier to see who is who out of game… and also I am easily confused with everyone having alts 

Do you have a forum, chatroom or voice chat servers?
We do have a guild forum, which you can find at our website (noted above.) We do also have a dedicated TeamSpeak Server, we encourage people to use it. There are a few other plans in the works to add an out of game chat system, but keep checking the forums for more information on that 

Is this a 'Heavy' or 'Light' guild?
We are both right now, we plan on starting off by recruiting the people we can either via forums or ingame. We accept friends and all alts as well. We have, in the past, been a mixture of both for other games, such as WoW, so we know how to make it work.

What are the ranks within the guild? How is it structured?
At the top of the guild there is 2 Guildmasters (1 primary and the other his 2nd in command) our officer ranks and then the PVP Ranks / Leaders. Most likely you will start as an Initiate and from there, depending on experience (level) and your willingness to help others, your rank will increase both in game and on the forums.

How large will the guild be?
We’re happy and have plans in place for the guild to be as large as it naturally progresses. This is not to say we are going to have people ignored, the intention is we have a regular set of people making it easy for people to get a group.

What are the rules of the guild?
The rules of the guild can be found on our forum, Login , but should anything be unclear or you need assistance with anything. Please make a post with questions and an Officer/Moderator will be happy to assist. The only thing we ask is to be polite / respectful to one another, everything is pretty much as you would expect.

Why should I join The Cult, rather than any other guild?
We’re trying to get a friendly group of like minded people to level and later PVP with. We understand not everyone is ‘hardcore’ and we try to cater for both. We have a massive range of MMO Expierence from previous Guild Leaders to casual players.

How do I contact the guild about joining?
You can read our application information on our forums

Smile Platnium Blacks

Platinum Blacks, Leader Nelg39(Glenn Webb).

guild ages 13 to 39 all family members.

no Web site yet, will Start a bit closer to release.

Guild rules, treat people how u expect to be treated.

Guild was started just so i could keep in touch with my children while i was working away, we intend to expand guild to RL friends and online friends we meet in game, guild has always bin small, but my boys have bin playing MMOs for 8 years now, very polite and good gamers, even my 13 year old has bin playing for 7 years now, His BG twink on WOW, was one of the most sort after chars for group PvP, and there all RvR mad, last year we went back to DAOC on the US servers, and have only just stopped playing again this month.

Guild Name came from are PnP D&D campaign in forgotten realms, the Platinum Blacks mercenary group, A small band of like minded adventures, that on the hole do good things, with an underlying thurst for evil power.

We had decided on the side of destruction, but all the careers r very appealing so, will make final decision during OB.

Thanks GW

Hi, my name is Liil.

I am one of the founders of a Guild called Divine Legend created over 8 years ago in a game called Everquest. We have many active European members. I am also the current leader of the Divine Legend Kin active in Lord Of The Rings Online.

We are a mature community (aged 25-60, although there is no limit!) and span across many MMO's - Currently LOTRO, EQ, EQ2, Vanguard and Conan to name five. We have found friendship though gaming and even a few romances and marriages!
We do enjoy raiding, we are not a hardcore guild by any means, but we have always been successful raiders due to the maturity of the guild and the commitment to each other.
