ANIMOSITY:

Animosity is a progression orientated guild, with a primary focus on PvP and a significant interest in raiding. We are a tight-knit gaming community involved with multiple Sci-Fi based MMOs, FPSs, RTSs and even PnP. We are comprised of 18+ mature, skilled and dedicated gamers based all over the world (US, EU, AU) who have years of MMO and gaming experience between them. Our recruitment process is focused and specific and our ambition is to build focused but strong groups of gamers for each game that we enter. Animosity is constantly changing and evolving to make sure that we are as well organized as is possible for the games that we seek to progress in.

PHILOSOPHY:

We strongly believe that real life is the most important thing to all of us. We know "Sith" will happen, and no guild or game should expect you to suffer for taking care of whatever matters most in your own life. Whilst we strive for success in all of our divisions, we understand life's obligations.

We are all here to progress as consistently and as quickly as possible, at the same time as building a group of skilled gamers who can work together well to overcome whatever challenge is thrown at them. We are not against trimming the herd; we don't allow periods of inactivity of over 2 weeks (unless due to military service) without scrutiny and we conduct weekly inactivity checks to coincide with our inactivity policy: must active in-game, VoIP and on the forums (this includes prelaunch through Animosity's Games of Interest Initiative).

COMMUNITY:

Our community is orientated towards the "hardcore" mindset with particular reference to Player Vs Player (PvP) combat. We strive to achieve, and to also maintain a healthy level of competition within the servers we roll.

Should one of a our divisions be in a state of prelaunch, we run regular gaming events as well as subscribe to a 'Games of Interest' culture within the guild. Although we may be actively recruiting for a game that has not yet been launched, the Animosity culture of gaming continues with a variety of titles including: FPS, RTS, MMORPGs, Sandbox etc.

Animosity is a Gaming Community above everything else, and as a member of the Animosity community they are expected to be gaming regularly. The activity policy is, therefore, unchanged should an Animosity Division be in a state of prelaunch.

OUR AGENDA:

Leaders: We as leaders and officers of the guild strive to be the most organized and active guild we can possibly muster, to stay on top of the game and keep our members happy. We seek to set the example and not dictate rules.

Guild: We seek to progress consistently through PvP and PvE, accepting that we must put in additional time and effort in order to perform to the best of our abilities. Our end goal is to be one of the best, if not the best.

BACKGROUND:

Animosity was formed on the 14th of January 2009. Many of the initial members and leadership were apart of the guild A'a Netjer. We have a host of members of different backgrounds, including well known guilds such as Death and Taxes and Nihilum of World of Warcraft fame. We also have numerous multi-Rank 14 members, Arena Gladiators, Pre-CU /NGE Jedi and other members with hefty game-specific achievements not including our members with world first boss kills in World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?:

- Mature 18+ Players
- Dedicated and loyal gamers
- Above average experience and understanding
- Fun, humor, responsibility
- Progressive mindset
- Active

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MEMBER:

Belief –

Animosity's mission is to be respected as one of the most skilled, organized and active guild's in all of our divisions. Our goal is to progress through end-game and pvp off our own steam. All members of Animosity must believe in our mission and our goals to be a member of this community.

Loyalty –

It is extremely important to maintain a high level of loyalty to the community you are apart of and have helped to grow and progress. If you have other friends that you game with who are not a member of Animosity, your primary loyalty must be with Animosity and your division. We accept that real life and other commitments come first, however if you're gaming, and Animosity calls on your assistance, you must remain loyal to the Animosity belief system.

Skill -

As a member of Animosity you are required to be skilled, or have the potential to be skilled or trained. Whilst Animosity generally serves to find recruits of high skill, we also accept those with potential who can be trained to match our progression.

Trainable -

Every day you learn something different. That statement is usually uttered by executives and long-term management, but rarely by the grunts. Even if you feel you're at the top of your game, or you need assistance with your class, it is not something we look down upon. Animosity members must be willing to be trained; it is amazing what can be achieved with regular insight to your game plan, especially on a larger pvp scale.

Gamer Etiquette -

All members of Animosity are required to have basic manners. With a large guild, there are going to be members who simply don't get along or see eye to eye. As long as we can all work politely together with progression and our mission in mind, we can stay afloat.

Organized -

Our community is based on maturity, and usually with maturity comes a general level of organization from our members. If there is a raid schedule, a pvp arena or an event in which you are either subscribed to, or are expected to attend, all Animosity members are required to be on time and be prepared.

Team Play -

Animosity is about teamwork and working as such. Animosity members are required to engage with the rest of the community and not seek an individual play style. As with gamer etiquette, if there are groups running content within there own party, Animosity members are expected to respect that intent.

Maturity -

It is the basic foundation of Animosity on a whole. With maturity, the above points come seamlessly.

Activity -

You must be active within the Animosity guild. You may hold all of the above attributes, but are rarely seen, in which our activity policy will list you as inactive.

1. Active In-Game
2. Active within VoIP
3. Active within the Animosity Forums

*Note: The activity policy is also in effect during prelaunch. All Animosity members must be able to tick the above boxes to be a member of Animosity Guild. A period not exceeding 2 weeks of inactivity is accepted. Declared periods of inactivity are also accepted on a case by case basis. Read the full details on the activity policy here.

Please, take a step back, and make sure you have read the above information before applying to join Animosity. We don't seek to waste your time by presenting a sub-par guild to apply to, so please don't waste our time if you do not intend to fully engage yourself within the community, and be apart of the team, and cannot tick all of the boxes under what it takes to be a member.
