"Arcane Alliance" Guild on Orien Recruiting All Players - Have Kraken Ship+All Buffs!

[RistoffDervish]

We are currently level 63 and growing fast. The guild has been around for nearly six years and has been run by Ristoff since the guild was passed to him at guild level 15, when Ristoff was still a Free-to-Play noob. For several years the guild was only populated by about six people, but recently we have been actively recruiting new players with the hopes of eventually coordinating guild raids and having more options for people to quest with guild members of various levels.

We have the best airship the game has to offer with every buff and amenity the game has to offer including +5% XP Shrine, All Green Steel Crafting Altars, Cannith Crafting Stations, 2 Banks, 2 Auctioneers, 2 Navigators, 2 Mailboxes, Several Taverns and Vendors of all sorts. Best of all we have a Spirit Binder on the ship allowing instant transport to the ship at any time.

There are no rules or obligations to be in the guild except have fun and be polite.

If this sounds like your kind of guild, send mail or a tell to Ristoff on the Orien Server and ask for an invitation.

Level 72 and still growing - Come join the fun!

Just hit level 73 and we are up to 285 active accounts. There is still plenty of room for players of all level, class, and skill. I will not boot anyone for inactivity until we reach capacity, which I believe is 1000 accounts.

Here is a more comprehensive overview of the guild. I would have liked to just edited the main post, but that function has never worked for me for some reason so I will just add this here.

There are no requirements to be in the guild except for having fun, being polite, and helping out others if you can. We do not boot casual players from the guild. If real life or another game (god forbid!) takes your focus away from the game and you decide to come back later, your guild will be waiting for you. The only exception to this is if the guild is at full capacity and new members want to join, then the players who have not logged on for the longest period of time will have to go first.

Nobody is expected to pay platinum or Astral Shards to be a member, but if you feel you would like to contribute to the guild, donations are accepted in the harbor at the ship vendor near the guild ship portal. All donation go directly to upgrading the guild buffs (we have all the buffs already, but some need upgrading when the guild levels up or they ever add new buffs to fill the empty spots).

It is also expected, but not a rule, that guild renown be selected as end rewards. Unless there is a rare drop, named item, or a tome; don't select junk loot you'd just take to the vendor - there is plenty of platinum available from the higher level guild members who would be happy to give if you ask. Guild renown is what levels up the guild which lets us upgrade some of the buffs we have.

There are a couple of guild chests in the cargo hold and also a couple on the First Lower Deck. The items in here are available for anyone who can use them and anyone can put items in the chests they would like to share with the guild members. We try to keep useful items in here so please don't fill the chests with tumbling potions and healing kits. It should go without saying, but please don't loot the chests just to vendor it. Again, just ask a higher level character or officer for some platinum if you need it.

If you will be upset that someone takes an item from the chest then please do not put the item in there in the first place. Any item placed in the guild chests should be put in there with the expectation that someone will take it out. We are on the honor system that people will only take what they will use, but if something ends up on the auction house and there is suspicion that it came from a guild chest, there is not much I can or will do about it. This stuff happens and since I choose to keep my guild an open to everyone guild, I do it with the expectation that at least once a year some noob will empty all of the chests and vendor everything. I consider it part of the game and an acceptable risk in order to keep the guild accessible to all.

We don't care about language, however abusive, demeaning, or otherwise negative behavior is not tolerated in the guild and could result in expulsion if there are no efforts made to rectify the behavior in question. On the bright side, that hasn't ever happened in the many years Arcane Alliance has been on the Orien server.

You are welcome to have as many alternate characters in the guild as you want, and if your friends want to join just have them send Ristoff a tell or mail a request.

If you would like to become an officer, we could use all the help we can get to recruit more members. Our goal is to have enough players to run guild raids together.

Other than that, we are all here to have a good time with great people!
