We are a group of MMO gamers who started out around ten years ago in Ultima Online, and have adventured thru many worlds since then. In that span, we found all sorts of things we liked, and did not like, we've raided, we've PvP'd, we've been hardcore, and we've been casual players.
In that time, we've definitely changed, but we are at the point where we know exactly what we want from a game. We no longer have the time to pursue hardcore raiding, or spend in game. With our 25-30+ hours per week that we still somehow manage to spend in game, we want to be able to log in to a group of friends first and foremost. We want to be able to form groups, to explore, to take advantage of all Age of Conan has to offer. This means a guild city, and to get involved in the Siege Style PvP. We realize this means we will probably never fight over battlekeeps, but with things like towers and resource nodes, we'll have plenty to stay busy with.
We know we wont be a top progression guild, a hardcore raiding guild, or the dominant PvP guild on a server, and we are fine with that. What we can accomplish, is to allow the casual to hardcore player to find a home, to interact with others who share the same goals, and not just be a faceless number in a zerg guild. We'll be able to raid, to PvP, to explore, and do those things on our terms.
Server Type/Location
We will be rolling on a US server, and we expect our event times to be better suited to a Central or Pacific Time Zone. We will be rolling on an RP-PvP server. We are not a roleplaying guild, we just feel that the communities on RP-PvP servers are more mature, and provide a more enjoyable environment for us.
Voice Server
Crimson Brotherhood has set up a Teamspeak server for Guild use. Server login information can be found in the forums.
Weekly Schedule
With a casual mentality, we wont try to run events every night of the week. Expect 2-4 events a week, either PvP or PvE guild events, and we believe that there will be plenty of opportunities to participate in PvP mini-games and grouping on a nightly basis.
Membership Goal
The intention for now is to play this by ear, as we'll need to see how competitive we can be on our chosen server. Our anticipation for now, is to see between 75-100 active members. Enough to be a tight knit group, and big enough to enjoy the benefits of a Guild City, and to get involved in at least some facets of Border Kingdom PvP.
Guild Structure
Recruit- New Applicant
Soldier- General Guild Member
Centurion- Guild Officer
Marshal- Guild Master
Our launch goal is to have 1 officer per 12-15 members, so we dont run into situations that some guilds seem to run into of having far too many leader types trying to tell members what to do. We'll adjust as needed.
We'll begin by having an Archtype Officer for each Archtype, as well as the GM's, and we'd like to have someone specifically to plan, coordinate, and run events. The idea is to work as a team to achieve common ends.
A general note on officers, is that we tend to feel that too many guilds espouse the belief that general members are there to serve the ends of the leaders. Our belief is that officers are responsible to members. "A people should not be afraid of its government, a government should be afraid of it's people." would be a good motto for officers. Together, as a guild, we have common goals, and common aims, officers need to keep that firmly in mind and make decisions based on what is best for members, first, and always.
