On the 13th of January we turned a year old, and havent once put out adverts recruiting. Simple reason being our recruitment policy was that only friends/family of the members within the guild would be invited. This helped us filter out the scum (the bad players who only cause trouble) and gave us a large group of friends with very few problems.
On our anniversary I handed over the reigns to my girlfriend, to allow the guild to grow much bigger and friendlier. This means we're recruiting! At the same time we're returning to our old roots (Necromancer guild!). So if you're a necromancer looking for a friendly bunch of people/necromancers, carry on reading ^^
I'm not appealing to every single GW player, my intention is to appeal to the right players. I bet half of this gobble has steered most of you away, but those still reading are the type of players we're interested in.
[ What we do ]
At the moment, because we've been crippled by a couple of members moving on in life, our activities havent been quite as frequent lately. We do trips to dungeons, the Underworld and Fissure of Woe, and there is a group of AB'ers in the guild who sometimes get together to AB. Other than that, I hold a Singles Championship once every two months or so (1v1 in the hall). We have our own forum that we recommend our members sign up to, and most rules for the singles championship can be found in its sub forum. We are constantly coming up with ideas for other activities in the guild so we're hoping to get a few more going. The members also throw suggestions up on the forum for us to take into account, so with more members we're hoping these things can be made possible
[ Our rules ]
Are simple, we tolerate no racism in guild chat.
We've had no problem with fighting in the past.. obviously because we're all friends and family, but with these new recruitment rules - fighting in my opinion is inevitable. In this case, I advise any one with a problem with another member in the guild to either take it to private message (out of guild chat, its unpleasant) or put the other player on ignore. If you cant do this, you're not the person we're looking for!
[ What we want ]
All we ask if you do join, is that you can have as much patience as possible. A lot of the 'new' members we recruit find it hard to adjust to our guild because of the whole 'close-knit' atmosphere. They feel left out and end up leaving. Well I say we're the type to get more than involved with you IF you get involved yourself. These members that have left because they dont feel part of the guild, are the type that sit back and say nothing - expecting to be part of the guild. If you dont get involved, you wont feel part of it, so thats down to you. Also, we'll probably grow slowly, so more patience is needed in that department.
3 weeks is not patience, things take time, so if your only intention is to join a guild built up and ready for anything, please dont think about signing up.
[ Our alliance ]
Was made up of guilds exactly like ours. It recently disbanded and the alliance leader and his girlfriend joined us. This means we're no longer in an alliance, and we're not interested in joining any at this time - unless like our ex-alliance leaders, you are a group of guilds exactly like ours. Social, not faction crazy (Lets face it thats pointless) and not PVP crazy either. Please contact one of the officers at the bottom of this post rather than reply to this thread if you're interested in forming an alliance.
[ Sorry for droning on... ]
But I need to be sure what we've built wont get ruined by a bunch of yobs. YOU know if you're not that type, so feel free to contact any of the below officers. On that note, officer promotions will not occur. The guild has only ever promoted 4 people not part of the original Agonized, and thats because they've been with us for the majority of our year and become part of us.
If I havent bored you to death, contact any of the below officers in game or post your IGN here (The IGN you wish to be known as by the guild). We have an IRC channel #Agonized2 on Quakenet which you're free to join so long as you state who you are when asked ^^. We have a forum for members only, and once I see an increase in members joining, I will start on a new website.
Current Leader: Spirit Spookje [Euro]
Myself: Ghost Spookje [Euro]
Officer: Lliam Watkins [Euro]
Officer: Starfire Deity [Euro]
Officer: Lord Azuiroth [America]
Officer: Cypher Anubis [America]
And on a final note, the members of the guild are mixed in terms of their location. We have members from all over the World. Also, there are some members on the roster who have not signed on in over 3 months, this is down to either them moving home, or computer difficulties. Pleaes dont be put off by this, they're our friends so we see no need to remove them.
If you're happy with all you've read, and still wish to be part of us, we welcome you
