If you're looking for a new guild, we'd love to hear more about you! First, though, let me tell you about our guild, Archons Ascendant [Arch]. (http://archonsascendant.com/ --Please feel free to check out our website and forums.)

First off, about us as people... we're generally a pretty mature guild. Most of our members are in college or just out of college. We do have three or four prominent players who are still in high school, but even one of those high schooler's fathers plays with us. I'd say our "age requirement" is a lot more "negotiable" than it may seem on our website certainly, but we are looking for the 18+ crowd. We're dominantly PvE players, but we do have our PvP players. We're a crucial part of our alliance and we even have a PvP exclusive guild in our alliance if you want PvP coaching or experience. We're a Luxon Alliance and even though Arch doesn't PvP *that* much (I'd say only around 20% of the time) we do enjoy ABing. Our alliance frequently has events for "Elite missions," DoA, Deep, Urgoz, FoW, etc. Personally I just am not good enough for DoA, but we have several guildies who team with our alliance guild, YoHo on a regular basis. Honestly, I'd say they do DoA once every few days. They've got it in their blood now! hehe We're very helpful, and several of us will drop anything to help a guildie. Going unanswered is something that's VERY rare in our guild. I won't say never, because there are special circumstances (missions, etc). We're a talkative bunch. And we're a pretty close-knit bunch.

Hmm... Rules. Well, we're not that strict. We are the epitome of "casual" and we know it. Don't do things to get banned. Really, the basis of our rules is not to make trouble for Arch. There is a rules page on the website, but I also think that's a bit more strict sounding than it is in practice. The main thing we'll really crack down on is the "giving Arch a bad name" rule. And that includes all matters of sins, really. Spamming for help or gold in guild or alliance chat, treating alliance or guild chat as a trade channel... those kinds of things. (We do have a Bazaar" section on our forums, though, so we can trade with each other without the bother of game spam.)

Let's see... How about some history? Arch has been around just over a year. We're lifers now. We've got few key officers who are former and current (I believe) Alpha testers. Our leader, Sciros Darkblade, has been acknowledged several times by ArenaNet. For a guild emblem design, (which we, of course, use) and he is the man who named the monk boss, Wroth Yakslapper. We have another member who has, I believe, twice won the contest for weapon design. Some of our names are well known by ArenaNet. The founding and core members of Arch, have been playing since launch and we own all the chapters. We've tested, we've had collectors named after us, and more. We were for some time, members and officers of the first guild in Guild Wars, Zealots of Shiverpeak and once Sciros had the time to dedicate to leading his own guild, we amicable left the ZoS guild and joined their alliance as Arch. We left the alliance after we noticed ZoS turning more PvP based and we weren't playing with them as much as we wanted. We have since found an active guild that has recently won Guild of the Week, and have had an active part in helping this alliance flourish.

So... enough about us... ;-) How do those things sound to you? How would you feel about everything you just read? I know it's a lot to absorb, but I wanted to be thorough!
