edited July 2015 in General Discussion (PC)
Well met, adventurers! In preparation of Strongholds, we're starting a bi-weekly guild spotlight. Simply answer the questions below and if your guild is chosen, we'll send a questionnaire to your guild, which you'll need to complete in five days time and perhaps arrange for a photoshoot if time permits. The first guild spotlight will be on July 10 but we'll continue with spotlights every two weeks. If you weren't initially chosen, all entries are valid for future spotlights!
  • What’s the name of your guild?
  • Number of accounts?
  • Number of characters?
  • How long has your guild been around?
  • Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?
  • Include a screenshot if you can!
Rules:
  • Only one submission per guild.
  • No naming and shaming in the thread. The thread is strictly for submissions.
  • Please have one of your guild leaders make the submission and if not, at least have their consent.
For more information, head here: http://bit.ly/1KgkPPc

    What’s the name of your guild?
    Win or Lose We Booze

    Number of accounts?
    202

    Number of characters?
    344

    How long has your guild been around?
    Since August of 2013.

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?
    Firstly, thanks for implementing this as this is a great way to highlight all the great communities of gamers that Neverwinter has!

    Secondly, 'Win or Lose We Booze' is a strongly PvE focused Guild that also moonlights a bit in PvP. Much as our name may imply, we are here playing Neverwinter to have a good time! Success and failure are part of MMOs... Sometimes you will coordinate the teamwork to be successful in that epic fight against Traven Blackdagger, and sometimes that dang little Quickling will get that one last hit in on you leading to defeat. Either way, it's important to have fun!

    'The Boozers', as we like to call ourselves affectionately, bring this mentality to each aspect of the game. We don't take ourselves too seriously, we enjoy all aspects of the game from Gauntlgrym PvP, to Foundry PvE, and a few games we've made up on our own... For that we must thank you for the '20-Sided Die' from the Wonderous Bazaar! ;)

    This is such a great idea and I'm really excited to see the spotlights. Good job folks.

    What’s the name of your guild? - The Holy Crusaders

    Number of accounts? - 344

    Number of characters? - 442

    How long has your guild been around? - Since beta

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    You're gonna help us take over the world. Our only goal in life is to be awesome and spread the awesomeness around so that it's tingly and less painful when you get one shot by a spiderling. We're that one jolly guild that's serious enough to bring havoc upon all of our enemies, but then folk dance on top of their corpse with a smile. We strive for excellency but are casual friendly, we believe you can enjoy the whole cake (also we DO believe in cake/cookies it comes second to NW gods) and leave it a glorious whole. Crusading for the revolution!

    We are the Greycloaks.

    We have been protecting Neverwinter since before it realized it needed protection. As one of two guilds formed in the pre-beta Alpha testing phase and therefore the very first guild formed by players in the game, Greycloaks has a long history in Neverwinter. Offically reformed within the first hour of open beta, the Greycloaks have endured and emerged victorious throughout every trial and tribulation Neverwinter has seen. From Valindra's assault on the Protectors Enclave, to the big brain at the heart of the Dread Vault, from Caturday to The Elemental Prophets and the demon hordes, the Greycloaks have stood against evil and beaten it back time and time again.

    In that time, the Greycloaks have grown. We started with the single guild (Greycloaks) and have branched out since then with the formation first of the Whitecloaks for newer players, then the Blackcloaks for our more bloodthirsty PvP oriented members, then the Browncloaks as an alt-only guild and finally the Goldcloaks. At our peek, we supported nearly 900 players and over 1600 characters across those guilds. Sadly, many of our members have moved to other lands to seek other adventures in recent months and we are now just over 375 players with approximately 615 characters. Because we use a global channel rather than the guild channels, our community is actually much broader even than our members as we invite anyone to join our chat. Many ex-members remain in our channel (even those who have returned to other games, such as Star Trek Online) and many that are regulars with us have never been members. Why? Because the Cloaks thrive on diversity. We accept all members regardless of their experience level, gear, location, language. The only real requirement is that members are willing to avoid drama and be kind to each other. Our goal is to help each other find the best experience in Neverwinter they can, whether they are Cloaks or not. Most importantly, we build friendships not just premade teams. Only together can we make Neverwinter a better place.

    Below are just three photos, you can see many more images from the Greycloaks' archive. Everything from pure artistic pictures to event shots, to the weird and strange. Feel free to stop by and check it out (you may need to join the site, but as I've said, all are welcome):

    What’s the name of your guild? Unrepentant

    Number of accounts? 132

    Number of characters? 362

    How long has your guild been around? Unrepentant Gaming has been around since June of 2008. We started the Neverwinter branch in Beta, and the current version was formed when the servers opened for the first time in Open Beta

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)? Because Death saves versus us. Dungeon Masters ask us how much more experience they need before they can level. That Beholder still sleeps with one eye open. We’re epic at level one. Our encounter level is fabulous!

    The Deck of Many Things looked at us…and felt inadequate.

    On a serious note, we're a socially driven, just here to crack a beer and have fun type of guild. Central to Unrepentant is our sense of community. We believe the games you play aren’t as important as the people you play them with, and to that end we strive only to admit the kind of members you’d want to hang out and have a drink with. Freedom, friendship and fun times is what matters to The U. We don't measure people's worth by a number on a character sheet, we don't cheat, we don't exploit, and we don't abuse mechanics. We're here to play the game and build friendships. We'll do dungeons, skirmishes and other content as it's added, not afraid to tackle the challenges set out in front of us. And with Strongholds on the horizon, we're looking forward to seeing how much AD we can sink into having the sweetest tavern in Neverwinter. And defenses. We might build some of those, too.

    What’s the name of your guild?
    True DragonBlood

    Number of accounts?
    45 accounts

    Number of characters?
    75 Characters

    How long has your guild been around?
    True DragonBlood was founded on the 18th of October 2013.

    Why should we spotlight your guild?
    True DragonBlood deserves to be in the spotlight because we want to show everyone in game that dungeons can be done without exploiting. No matter how hard the dungeon, we will fight, suffer and over come together, until we come up with a good strategy. Having the sensation of completing a dungeon legit is GREAT! and what better way to share this with our awesome, helpful and friendly brothers and sisters!

    True DragonBlood is a friendly non exploit for any player no matter what level or level of experience. The guild's main goal is to bring players together, share their knowledge and above all, have fun. Over time the guild has grown into a loving family like community with faces that return every day. With its international members from all across the globe you will surely find activity at most of your day or evening. Our guild is a semi-casual, PvE focused, though some of us enjoy PvP as well. With Stronghold coming up we are looking forward to the new PvE content but also PvP guild battles! Which is why we want to expand our group of PvP members. We love to help out players by providing them guides, tips and training. Our guild bank is optimized for members to share their wealth and donate towards the guild to keep the bank stocked for everyone.

    Whats special about us, is the guild events! We will occasionally hold guild events with prizes that either got donated to the guild bank or we bought them with the guild fund. Events will take place in customized foundries or based on high scores from events and dungeons. We had several guild events like "The Great Grand Egg hunt" egg hunting event, "Fast and Freezing" holiday special race event, "The Castle of Knowledge and Lore" quiz and puzzle event, "Fabulous Adventurer" Screenshot contest and "Dungeon of the Day" dungeon overall high score battles.

    We hope we make it into the spotlight, so we can bring pride to those who fight hard every day!

    Number of accounts?
    39

    Number of characters?
    64

    How long has your guild been around?
    Started in 2009 in Champions Online (Mattachine Society), expanded to Star Trek Online (Mattachine Fleet & House of Mattachine) in 2010 and grew in to Neverwinter Online (Cult of Mattachine) in 2014. In total we're 306 guild members in all 3 games, sharing one in game chat channel.

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?
    We are a very diverse and inclusive guild for both LGBT & Straight allies that like to have a good time together and enjoy some nice and friendly company when playing. The main objective of the guild is for everyone to have fun and second objective is to help each other out. We think we're the first to celebrate marriage equality in Neverwinter through our foundry quest Hidden in Plain Sight.

    What’s the name of your guild?
    Gallifreyan Keep

    Number of accounts?
    ~115

    Number of characters?
    ~200

    How long has your guild been around?
    Founded Feb 24, 2015

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?
    You probably know the feeling of returning home after a long day at work and slipping into that pair of ratty pajama bottoms, or for the ladies, the feeling of getting home and taking off your bra... that's what Gallifreyan Keep is like. Wearing ratty pajama bottoms and running around braless. We are a big dysfunctional family who puts the fun in "dysfunctional".

    We focus mainly on PvE, with some dabbling in PvP. We do what we can to explore every aspect of what NW has to offer: Skirmishes, Dungeons, Foundries (exploration as well as building), Professioning, and so on. On many occasions, the game itself comes second to us, as we'll find ourselves to be content to hang out in chat and simply enjoy each other's company.

    We have a lot of fun, making the most of any situation. We die a lot (our Guild mottoes include "AGGRO ALL THE THINGS!" and "YOU HAVE FALLEN IN BATTLE!"). We have goofy Guild contests with goofy Guild prizes. We have an Alf. We'll never be the "biggest" or the "best", and we are more than okay with that. Sure, we'd like to have awesome armor, but don't feel the need to cheat to get it. We're not here to win the game or take over the world. We're here to have fun. And we do that better than anyone else.


    Include a screenshot if you can!

    What’s the name of your guild? - I Had Bad Tacos Last Night

    Number of accounts? - 71

    Number of characters? - 89

    How long has your guild been around? - Since February 2015

    A little bit about us? Well where to begin? First off we are a mainly PvP oriented guild but have been known to do some PvE. We're always ready to lend a helping hand in character builds, helping with missions, giving great taco recipes, queuing together for pvp and giving advice about how to get to level 70 safe and sound. We do not consider ourselves elitist, but more of a equal opportunity. We have two requirements to join our guild : Have a comprehension of the English language and know how to have fun. We Believe that with teamwork, anything is possible. Even if you have to take a step back so that others can move forward.

    As far as communication goes, our guild chat is always talkative. We have RaidCall and a Facebook we try to keep daily posts on to keep everybody updated when they can't get to the game. We make a point to keep everybody updated on the game so that they know what to look out for and what each patch does and if any bugs are fixed. Communication among tacos is key to success.

    We Believe in a Brand. Our new members are given guild outfits and dye packs (we encourage that they wear them however its not a requirement). We put our best foot forward and try to create one easy going yet tough image for ourselves while always having fun. Now that doesn't mean that we try to ruin it for everybody else, but we do try to make everybody else wish they were a taco.

    So check us out, pm "@bae326" for more info or an invite and we look forward to seeing everybody in strongholds ^.^
    In our guild we are all family!

    How long has your guild been around?
    We are a multi-game guild which was founded in 2001 as a safe haven for Diablo 2 players wanting a guild that was free from hacks and bad behaviour. We have since branched out to many other games. We have been present in Neverwinter since beta began in 2013.

    Why should we spotlight your guild?
    Our guild deserves to be a spotlight-ee because our members are more than character names on a roster to us. The values that underpin our guild; maturity, fair play and courtesy ensure that we recruit a friend to game with and not just another player. We truely do value the person who sits behind that keyboard more than their character or skill level. If people are nice, friendly and treat their guild mates with respect, you will always have much better fun playing a game and that is what it is all about (as an added bonus you will be more successful in those dungeons too!).

    We are also still looking for some new recruits who share our values and are looking to join a guild that is family friendly and uses no profanity, exploits or cheats. Being part of the Neverwinter spotlight would be a great way of finding some new friends to join this awesome guild :)

    This guild started as a PVE guild and slowly transitioned into a PVP oriented one. Our guild focuses on getting better as we function as a group as well as improving each other individually. As a group, we've always been passionate about playing the game, help each other out and most importantly treat each and every one with respect. We have created a Facebook page and TeamSpeak for us to communicate.

    We support good, clean, legit gaming and discourage any kinds of exploit/hacks which alter the balance of the game.

    We strongly believed that our players are not just members when they joined us but rather a part of the group which can contribute to the well-being of the guild while playing the game that we love.

    Come close dear adventurer for our tale starts in hushed voices and sombre tones, it's the story of betrayal most foul, a story of pain and loss scattering our greatest hero's to furthest reaches of Neverwinter. but rejoice dear adventurer and take heart for this is also the story of reunions and new beginnings, reborn from the ashes of the once mighty Proximal the Hunters did emerge...........

    apart from an occasional flair for the dramatic we are a no drama politics free PVE based guild with a core of just really good people who keep us coming back, they love to have fun in the world of Neverwinter and enjoy helping our members progress.

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    We are a EU based guild and exist out of experienced and mature players who help each other out. The guild staff exist out of Dutch and Belgian people. Our player base exist out of many nationalities, the current membership is 87/150 accounts. We encourage fun and social gameplay. Although we have a core of very active players we also welcome people who just want to do their own thing at their own time. We have a TeamSpeak server (not required to join) and use English when multiple nationalities are online. We don’t ask for people to filter themselves in guild chat or TeamSpeak so this guild might not be for younger players or sensitive people. We do however want everyone to be respectful to each other which means no racism or prejudice.

    We run all PvE content: Campaigns, Daily’s, Stronghold and Dungeons. Through guild chat and TeamSpeak you can ask others to team up. If the right people are online we are also capable of carrying people through tier 1 and 2 dungeons for gear. To give an idea of skill level we can do all tier 2 dungeons legit consistently.

    At the moment our stronghold is level 12 and are actively working on getting it higher by doing influence and daily runs with the guild. Just to be clear joining these are optional. With around 15 or more players we can successfully beat 4 dragons in the Greed of the Dragonflight.

    •Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?
    Simply put, we are a great group of active Dungeons & Dragons players. We even have some members who still play "pen and paper." It's nice to enter an alternative world and be greeted by people who are genuinely interested in your experience and having fun. There's never a dull moment and games like this are meant to be played and enjoyed. Ultimately, we attract like-minded players and that's something to be said for the three years we've been in business. All-in-all, we can agree that we are in love with the atmosphere and world of Faerûn. So now the real question is, why SHOULDN'T you spotlight us?

    P.S. On top of that we can recite bard songs... No roleplaying needed.


    A Harper's Tale
    Gather round and hear a story true,
    Of forgotten treasure's delight.
    Told down generation through and through,
    A faint whisper in pale moonlight.

    A ruined capital it's slumber slept,
    Where monster crept in shadow blight.
    Down south they marched to City of Song,
    Mithril sword and claws clashed fight.

    Long lost the secret mythal key,
    Its power has peaked not since,
    Where demons stormed and knights did fell,
    Now sorrowed told and remembrance.

    An honest vow, a promise true,
    Drink the mead and wine to convince.
    As children cling to mother's garbs,
    To follow tales of Harper's Eloquence.

    Name of Guild: The New Outriders
    Number of Accounts: 118
    Number of Characters: 385
    How Long Has Your Guild Been Around?: Since 1992!

    Our guild's decades-long lifespan and the strength of our relationships make us a happy rarity in the world of online gaming. We got started in 1992 in The Shadow of Yserbius (TSoY) on what was then The Sierra Network (TSN). We have active branches in several major online games, including in Neverwinter since the beta days of April 2013. Members have stayed with us for decades, and several children of members have grown up to become members themselves. We have our own 501(c)(7) organization. We have our own jacket.

    We are a welcoming, inclusive, family-friendly guild. We have people on every night to run dungeons, quest together, or just hang out and chat. We have a fairly even mix of male and female members, including several couples. Our members range in age from teenagers to septuagenarians. Our emphasis is on having fun and helping each other out. If you're looking for a guild where people are valued more than power, where having fun together is the number one priority, and where guildmates truly look out for each other, then The New Outriders is the guild for you!

    Originally started in July 2013 we split into two branches as of April 2015

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?


    This is a unique experience in End Game and Leveling with the two conjoined Guilds. Twilight Empire is the more "casual" branch of the two with a PvE focus whilst Infernal Paragons is more "hardcore" with a PvP focus. Each branch has it's own ranking system to better reflect it's main focus. We have our own custom chat channel, and at least an officer or two is always there at any hour of the day so as to manage the guilds' day to day matters since we are from all over the world.

    We also have a Facebook page which serves as an alternative for sharing various information about the game, and some humor outside the game. Many players have characters in both, and may migrate as better suits their play style. These two were created so we can have a larger guild base without having to penalise any current members by limiting alts, or whom else could join in. We are always open to new recruits. Whether you are BiS (a veteran), or new to the game we'll be there to lend a hand in your progress towards acheiving greater growth gear-wise or skill-wise. All you need is an open mind.

    Our guild members are highly supportive and co-operative, and we are quite active in chat. Resources are shared where you can look up information for yourself, or ask the advice of a seasoned player. Some people bring in family, or old freinds to the guilds as well. All aspects of gameplay are covered in PvE, PvP, Dungeon runs, Skirmishes, Events, Foundry Authors, Roleplay, Fashion discussion, Builds, Companions, leveling up, and general chatter.


    (Credits for this application go to many members of our guild in contributing screenshots, description, and being generally awesome. I couldn't have done it without them.)

    The picture submitted is a composite of multiple screenshots taken throughout the game, and over time of the guild life.

    Actually I do not know, I took over the guild when the last Guildmaster did not log in for over 30 days and decided to get it to the top! :)

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?
    Because we are aiming for the top! We strive to be the best player-friendly guild in the game, where companionship and camaraderie matter more than power and armour penetration. Our goal is to always be there for each-other and not just run dungeons and skirmishes, to be a place where everyone can just come and chat and be welcomed and accepted.

    The Jagged Daggers


    Number of accounts?

    Approximately 60.


    Number of characters?

    178 at the time of writing this submission.


    How long has your guild been around?

    The Jagged Daggers have actually been around since before Neverwinter officially launched. They were one of the earliest guilds and maintain a consistent presence to this day. However, in March of 2014, the guild underwent a restructuring and revitalization. It developed an In-Character history that ties it in with the lore of the setting, permanent NPC “guild leaders,” and several elected officer positions with a several month term for players – all of which turned the Jagged Daggers into the organization it is today.


    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    The Jagged Daggers are a roleplaying guild that prides itself on its dedication to the lore of the setting. We have a unique in-game history that includes events and characters in the history of the Forgotten Realms, Neverwinter Online, and some original to the guild. The Daggers contains a number of Forgotten Realms enthusiasts who are always happy to discuss lore or in-game mechanics with each other or with people being exposed to it for the first time.

    The Jagged Daggers are not just a group, they are an In-Character organization. Every member is officially part of the “Jagged Daggers Mercantile Shipping and Adventuring Company.” We have a consistent identity that includes goals, “rivalries,” and even a battle cry (“For coin and glory!”) We even have such things as a Guild Hall foundry map and an in-universe explanation for how guild members can talk to each other over great distances. Our goal is to create an environment that fosters roleplay, where guild members can evolve their own stories and in so doing shape the story of the guild, all while staying true to the Neverwinter setting and celebrating all the things about it that make it great.

    La Hermandad Inmortal

    Number of accounts: We right now we have near 150 (we had to kick about 250 accounts due to the new guild's rules)
    Number of characters: around 475
    How long has your guild been around?: Since the very first day, early in the beta days
    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    We are one of the oldest guild in the game and we went through the good times and the bad times, and we are a referring guild in the Spanish speaking community. We teach the new players who do not speak English and help them to understand the game mechanics. But our strongest point is we are here since the beginning and we will be here to the end. We did not have divisions on our guild, we had no splittings. Many of our players have been here since long ago, some of us since years. We believe this is a really exciting game and we are ready to support developers and programmers providing them with bug reports and our comments if they are required.

    We played and know all the game content, and we are quite experts in game mechanics, we can create interesting builds which play successfully in PVE and PVP environments.

    And the main reason is we are a Social Guild. We are friendly, we have fun, we enjoy with each other. We have a TS server with about 20 channels and we are always ALL of us in the main channel, speaking loud all the time, sharing dungeons and pvp at the same space and having good laughs. The core of this game for us is thar we are a strongly tied fellowship.9f1bb0_a74ca7f15b80469f8c480d53c119dbef.png_650

    What’s the name of your guild? Adamantium Entropy

    Number of accounts? 120

    Number of characters? 210

    How long has your guild been around? since October 9, 2014

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    Our guild began as vision of safe haven for both new and experienced players. Place, where everyone, no matter your score, level or progress, feels always wanted. Hub, where seasoned veterans can share their advices and memories with new players. Home, where we help each other. And so far we live up to this vision.

    Adamantium is the strongest metal, rare and unbreakable. Definition of entropy is "a measure of the randomness in a closed system". There isn't better description of our beloved guildies than our guild name. We might not have the best players, but we surely have the best people.

    Entropy style is our way of life when the chips are down! Adamantium Comradery is what keeps us together. WE ARE ADAMANTIUM ENTROPY!

    Vanguards of Tuern

    Number of accounts?
    118

    Number of characters?
    216

    How long has your guild been around?
    Since December of 2014.

    Why should we spotlight your guild?

    Vanguards of Tuern, or "VoT" as we call ourselves for short, is a tight-knit guild, full of great people who are always willing to lend fellow guildies a hand. We have strength in diversity, having players from many places and with many talents. In this guild we have a brotherhood and it is important to our members and leadership that we be loyal and united. We also pride ourselves on how helpful our guild is, especially with getting people who are new to the game geared and teaching them about game mechanics and builds.

    Our primary goal at the time is to get 150 fully active accounts, and to prepare ourselves for the upcoming mod. We focus mostly on PvE, doing dungeon runs multiple times a day. That being said we do welcome PvP players as well and have plans of expanding more into the realm of PvP in the future.

    We are still a growing guild, but we are strong and have many skilled players. Our leadership circle is devoted to making VoT great, and there is a lot of room for advancement within our ranks. We Have guild promotions once a month, where our officers discuss and decide on who will receive rank ups. We also host occasional guild events with various rewards, as well as feature a teamspeak channel, 5 tab bank, and a newly made guild website!

    What’s the name of your guild?
    Our Guild name is now officially the Fringe Division. (Has been so for about a year now)

    Number of accounts?
    51 active acounts

    Number of characters?
    116 characters that are active.

    How long has your guild been around?
    June 2013

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    We are the Fringe Division. We don't actively recruit players, rather we let players view us in action in the game and see how we operate. We are a tight knit guild with a small player base because we prefer to know each other a little more personally than the larger guilds. We run mostly PvE content and have a small PvP faction, but for the most part we are PvE based. We are a very easygoing guild that promotes teamwork and advancement in the guild through participation. We prefer NOT to be a large guild so that the teamwork we can provide is personal and generous. Our goal is to get players geared up so that they can advance in the game and we have over 20 years of experience between the Guild Founders/Leaders.
    New to the game? No problem! We have members that have specialized in nearly every character class and paragon path who are more than happy to share their character builds and experiences. If you're a seasoned veteran? No problem! There is always room for experienced players who enjoy sharing their perspectives. After all, no one knows it all.
    Somewhere in between? No problem! There's room for anyone that has a desire to work as a group towards common goals. Our belief is through helping each other grow and better understand our character and roles, the guild, as a whole, becomes stronger. There isn't a minimum item level requirement. Having great gear is fantastic but we place more value on strategy and knowing your character and their role in a group.
    Communication is crucial when building a strong guild. We use Teamspeak to share ideas as well as to just hang out and talk. For those who are unable or uncomfortable with using voice, we encourage logging in to, at least, listen and utilize guild chat in game for responding. Feel free to ask us any questions, nothing is too simple and the only dumb question is the one left unasked. If this sounds good to you, then Fringe Division is looking for you. Contact Varric@baronstragen, Arjhan Stormweaver@X_Untamed_X or Varda Elbereth@juleadream for an interview.

    Many guilds possess aggression, but only some are ambitious enough to be rightfully aggressive. Many guilds have an essence of sportsmanship, but only some are calm and humble enough to support that fairness. There is one guild that unites these ideals- Essence of Aggression. We possess the inner aggression to be ambitious and the outer aggression to be fearless against our enemies, killing them without mercy. We also have the essence of sportsmanship, promoting fairness in victory and acceptance in defeat. If you challenge us, we will crush you or we will be crushed by you. Both make us stronger. In a sense, we are true warriors, not fearing defeat or over-celebrating our victories. The only thing that matters is the fight!
    Essence of Aggression members have been defeating the bandits of Neverwinter long before the Elves of Sharandar or the Vanguards of the Dread Ring. We’ve pioneered the wonders of Rivenscar Ruins, Hotenow Domination, and Gauntlgrym, earning thousands of wins in player verses player combat. No matter what situation is presented to us, we face it with determination and dignity. We have always been an exploit-free guild and will continue to thrive as one of the very best, fun-loving guild communities in Neverwinter. As we build up our Stronghold, we fortify the great empire that we have been generating for years. Essence of Aggression will live long and prosper!

    Total Anarchy!

    Number of accounts/characters?

    Total Anarchy has 84 members, and about 125 characters, with members ranging from Brazil, Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, and USA.

    How long has your guild been around?

    We were forged in the Crucible of Chaos 2 years ago, close to when the game went live.

    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    For those who don't like the rules or order of other guilds, for savages, miscreants, and helpful hermits, there needs to be a guild that will accept everyone, realizing we're all capable of self-rule in the Anarchist spirit. Everyone can invite folks to the guild, and everyone can promote those lower than themselves. And everyone can use the VAULT OF ANARCHY!

    We are led by the Pretty Tyrant, Beverly, who has taken up the torch from Lord Talon. The people may change, but the spirit of Anarchy is eternal! Send beverly@jahbreel on the Dragon server an in-game message if you'd like an invite.

    Join us if you want to be part of an international guild focused on personal freedom and helping each other when the stars aligns and you're on at the same time. Stress-free, nobody will harass you for missing a dungeon raid or being a newbie.

    We're small, but friendly. Formed by 4 friends who combined a love of DnD with one of the best PC games around. As the guild page says: We don't stay anywhere long. We're game-content focused, and always willing to help out new players who wander to us looking for a band of brothers/sisters to join up wth.

    On november 17th we will celebrate our 2 year anniversary!
    Why should we spotlight your guild (at least one paragraph and no more than three)?

    Well, where do I start. Our guild was created by 3 friends from another specific guild. We wanted to create a guild that would show people the fun of this game, without strickt rules but just fun and so we did! We formed the guild with 2 more people we have met in game and so we began.
    I remember our very first guildevent was a guildflashmob. We would all show up in the PE and dance and send out recruitment messages. It was a very succesful day and we had a lot of fun!
    Since day 1 I have been a guildleader and I have seen it at low points and high points. I can deffenately say that currently we are on a high point! Thanks to all my members who keep this place a fun guild to be at, a helpful guild to guide you, a friendly place to call home in this game, and a community that works together, so each and every one of our members can reach their goals. But most importantly, not strickt and extremely fun and hilarious.
    A guild that I can proudly say, I am a proud leader of, I love each and every member of it, and I could not have done it without them!

    Include a screenshot if you can!
    We do have screenshots :P but we also have something better.
