-The goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord.
~Abraham Isaac Heschel~
What does this mean? Wealth on Realm, individually or :+:HoW:+: it’s self means little who we are is the important thing. Ownership is only that if it is exclusive. Control of information is mere secrecy until it is shared by all. Titles, Offices any Leadership, is nothing but a hierarchy until all of the membership comes together with the same goals and purposes.
We come together as a Guild with knowledge of the game and the sharing of it as our Primary reason for being. We do not mean the help given new players on channel 4. We, as mostly more experienced players use methods of hunting (Did you know 4-6 wizards can take and finish The Anvil in 90 minutes? That a team of thieves can do much the same? Or a team of wizards and thieves?) as game and class knowledge increases? That some caves and areas are less difficult for some classes while lethal to another class at the same level and why this is true?
Do you know what a ‘hybrid toon’ is; let alone how to build one to suit your needs? Or why in some areas an Adventurer or Thief is more versatile than a high level wizzy with outrageously high damage spells in some situations?
Did you know PVP as the ultimate test of gaming skill is making a comeback? Why and how do you win a sparring match?
Have you been offered a class in correct chanting of weapons and armor and what is the best set up for individual toons? We can help with these questions and more.
Are you turned off with Guild affliations that do little more than out do the melodrama of your average episode of General Hospital? We are. Which is why loyalty to fellow memebers and the guild itself is so large a part on Channel 72. Why our smaller size is not worrisome to us and why our Guild hang out is in such an out-of-the-way place. Whether we become one of the largest or most spoken of means little and even less when there is strife among us
Friendship (part of the ‘accord’ concept) is built on honestly loyalty and the knowledge that what is said among ourselves remains among those same persons.
Honesty in within the guild (Yes. it is true we plan a Trader’s Alliance with in our guild} can only bring the same practices out side of the guild.
We plan weekly games and events. Among the membership, other guilds and open to all Realm players,
More will come from me on these and other topics.
Who am I? In this Realm incarnation I am known as Macavity co-founder and co-leader with BladeDancer. Best known around the internet as Lead Protector. On Realm, my Oldests toon is Bram a 1k ASGW

I love this Credo. I love how it fits with what you are attempting. I joined a game you had ‘in house’ by invitation though I am not a member of any guild. I lost but I appreciated that you set up a game with a prize to be had to gain mana for your Guild. Yu did not ask for a handout even fro your members.
I am new and you knew it. You did not offer me alot of free stuff. You did tell me how to hunt to level very fast not where to hunt where I would risk less. I do not have a lot of time to play and with your Guilds advice I got mad levels in very little time. I was why I asked to play your game.
There are alot of guilds out there you are tying to do something differnt and I am nt only going to watch your baby guild I have subscribes to the rss feed here. Thanks for the guild, the kindness and for treating me as a player not just another noob.
