Dear VG Spheres members,
I'd like to inform you that Dogma has decided to start on
Gelenia - Euro PvE server. We are looking forward to meet you there and to start playing the real deal.
Also to give you a quick update on the guild, here is more information about us:
Hereafter is a news summary of what we look like as the beta is wrapped up, and as we prepare for the launch next week (three days ahead, of course)
Adventuring:
In-game supervising Council member: Deluwen
Our adventuring team consists of 2 parts. We have a very dedicated core adventure group (multiple ingame groups) these guys will be the fastest to level, will be the first to be supported with the newest crafted toys but thats not their only purpose they will also be given some tasks to do like getting certain items, helping to kill certain quest mobs, everything you can think of that requires a dedicated adventure group. These guys also will make up the core of our raid force. This group will be organised in fellowships from the beginning.
The rest will be in the adventuring team (multiple groups again) where there will be voluntary fellowships formed. Some of these teams will be right behind the core and some will take bit longer to level up. Although a bit later, these groups will get their toys from the crafters as well, to be as well geared as possible. At the moment we have around 60 people already which will all be part of either of these 2 groups and we are nicely balanced already. But we are always looking for some more extra special people to squeeze in.
Crafting:
In-game supervising Council member: Maxsius
Our Goal within the crafting sphere in Vanguard is to have every aspect of crafting covered, supporting a dedicated team of members working on all available professions, from the blacksmiths to the artificers and outfitters with all of their primary and secondary skills maxed to provide everything our guildmembers may need.
Crafting the best things possible, from equipment items like weapons or armor , over houses and ships to rare spells or even unique items - if offered by the game mechanics - is our declared goal within this guild. We do not believe in buying anything from the outside, you see?
Obviously our crafters will get full-scale support by all of our guildmembers, be it resource gathering, tool- or recipe-funding, you will be supported in a way you have never experienced before.
At this moment we have 18 crafters, that means 6 crafters on each continent, two of each class to cover every recipe that is possible on the specific continent. With class leaders that will take care of all resources and enhancement we are ready for leveling fast and build up a top-end crafters community. A good amount of our crafters has experienced Beta, so we sure know what to do.
Also keeping close contact between the Classleaders and our Guild Trader team will maintain a constant flow of money for our guild, which will be used for bigger projects like Guild housing, boats and mounts.
At this moment we are still looking for:
1x Blacksmith - specialization
Armoursmith
1x Blacksmith - specialization
Weaponsmith
But if you are a dedicated, committed crafter and would like to join our team just send Maxsius a pm or e-mail.

Community Relations:
In-game supervising Council member: Chast
As we wrap up the open beta phase, the excitement is palpable, out there in the world of Telon. Dogma, like others, shares this thrill and is proudly flying its flag with a large number of its members spread over all continents, already adepts of adventuring, crafting and diplomacy with experience gained in the closed beta phases.
Dogma’s goals in Vanguard:
- To be amongst the top guilds within our selected playing environment
- To value the community of guild members, demanding much from them, and giving back as much to them in return
- To have a base of mature, ‘committed’ players, whilst respecting other commitments that the guild members have
- To expect guild loyalty, through involvement in the guild community (message boards, website etc) and identification with the guild’s values
With just over a week to go until VSoH launches, Dogma faces the world of Telon as a force of over 60 mature and committed guild members. The spread has been thoughtfully channelled to ensure we are as strong in crafters and adventurers alike. Through our selective recruitment process, we have ensured that only members who meet our community profile will represent our guild at launch in the world of Telon.
Dogma members have actively been providing feedback to Sigil as part of the closed beta testing phases, and consequently will face the launch of the live game well prepared in terms of game mechanics and lore.
Dogma’s leadership structure:
Dogma operates as a democracy, its leadership is elected by all the guild members. Similarly all members (once their initial trial period is successfully completed) are encouraged to voice their opinion on guild matters, and participate in an ongoing manner in the shaping of Dogma.
Our current leadership and support team is as follows:
Guildmaster - Mythos
High Council - Ardenya, Chast, Deluwen
Council - Drafox (trader), Hazar (recruitment), Maxsius (crafting), Towyn (counsellor)
Specialist roles
- Web Team: Heaver / Qenji
- Community Relations: Chast
- Tactician: Carathien
- Events Management: Stonecape
On behalf of all Dogma members I wish all of you a smooth start into the world of Telon!
