Guild & Group Directory (Active)

Greetings Avatars! The purpose of this post is to keep an active alphabetical directory of current guilds in the game.

I will insert the date of the entry and 1 year following its insertion, it will be removed unless someone bumps the thread asking their date be refreshed (claiming still active) or info be altered. Hopefully this concept can be replaced by tech at some point, but for now, I'm happy to provide. I'll also be using this list to provide short spotlights of guilds throughout New Britannia -- hope you find this useful!

Simply reply to this thread with the following information:

Guardians of the Silver Serpent
(updated 2020-2-6)
Our guild is primarily a hunting and adventure guild – although we support a huge range of activities across all facets, including questing, storytelling through player crafted quests, and even role-play (it’s pretty much “role-play lite” here, depending on the situation). We strive to stick to a set of core ideals. Chief among those are teamwork, respect for others, pride in our organization and doing our best to build a tradition of excellence. We strive to build a reputation of integrity and mutual respect, and it is through the efforts and honor of our individual members that our reputation continues to grow. Our home base is the Player Owned Town of Duanor. (Established 2020/11/14, PvE, Casual Role-play) || Contact @Raven Swiftbow

LAMP
(updated 2020-9-21)
Loose Association of Mercenaries & Privateers…and farmers, explorers, traders, dragon slayers, bards, role-players, animal tamers, rouges, bounty hunters, etc. - there was only so much room in the acronym. The core of LAMP consists of self-organized individuals and friends, coming together for community and good times. All the guild will ask of you is that you show up for anything you volunteer for - but if you just want to lone-wolf for a while, cool, nobody will complain that you are not “pulling your weight”. The goal is community and the option of group play, without being nailed down to a “correct” way to have fun or a role in the guild. Attitude is more important than AL level - be gracious to noobs, humble in victory, noble in defeat, helpful to strangers and guild-mates alike, and you’ll fit right in. || More Information || Map Location || Contact @Sorgin Txakal @Justiciar @Vermasis Echo
