Guild Charter:

Ex Umbris is a community guild and we intend to have a very good reputation on our server. We intend to be skilled, knowledgable and honorable players with the shared goal of enjoying the game from level 1 to where we finally log out.

Ex Umbris is about having fun, we are a guild that has come together in order to have fun exploring Telon and challenging the content that the devs at Sigil have prepared for us.

Ex Umbris is a guild that works as a team, has fun and is able to overcome any obsticles laid before it!

Ex Umbris is not an Uber guild, we are a guild of players that fall between the monikers of casual and hardcore.

Ex Umbris as a guild will be focused on exploring the many aspects of the game: exploration, crafting, diplomacy and when we get to the right points raiding.

Ex Umbris does not recommend powerleveling to the end of the game, but instead taking your time to explore the game before the "end game".

Ex Umbris is a mutual support community, Ex Umbris would like our members to help each other.

Ex Umbris is not a PvP or a RP guild, however we will have members that enjoy both acivities and we will do what we can to support both play styles (as long as they do not detrimentailly affect the rest of the guild).

Ex Umbris is a home and a family, not an isolated guild locked away from the rest of the server.

Ex Umbris is firmly against the secondary market and the effect it has on games that are not intended to have it.
--------------

Our guild members are players and citizens of the MMO known as Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. We understand that we have benefits and responsibilities as players and game-world citizens. Foremost amongst these benefits and responsibilities are Community participation, the ability to experience Game Content, the concept of Mutual Benefit, the protection of a positive Guild Culture, and the importance of Guild Organization.

Community

Our guild will contribute positively to the Vanguard Community. Our name will be known and recognizable and be associated with honesty, integrity, good gamesmanship, and knowledgeable, skillful play. To the best of our ability, we will maintain good relationships with other guilds, individuals, and organizations on our server of choice. We will maintain a presence on server boards, class boards, affiliate boards, and the official Vanguard boards.

Game Content

Our members will have access to game content they desire and which is reasonably achievable. We will maintain a guild size that will allow us to viably progress in all spheres of play. Game progression is an ultimate, but not overriding goal. The pace of forward progress in the game will not be mandated, but will be a direct result our membership’s desires and availability for participation.

Vanguard has its roots in traditional PnP, Computer and On-Line RPGs. Our guild will support many forms of roleplaying.

Mutual Benefit

The members will contribute to the guild and the guild will contribute to its members. Our guild is a “core” guild. There will never be required gameplay timeslots or events. Tithes on in-game loot or cash will likewise never be required. Member’s voluntary contributions, time spent in guild events, direct assistance of membership, et. al. will be recorded and recognized. Guild event loot is a privilege, not an entitlement. Transactions between members following this principle are always highly encouraged.

Culture

The guild culture will be supportive of a wide variety of playstyles and lifestyles. All age groups will be represented. Respect is a key ingredient in allowing a diverse membership to coexist and thrive. We will protect our guild culture from inappropriate, disrespectful, and disruptive behavior.

Guild Organization

Our guild will maintain an organization to run the affairs of the guild. The organization must include a guild leader. The guild leader is ultimately solely responsible for achieving the goals set forth in this document. He or she may seek volunteers, arrange for a vote, or otherwise appoint leadpersons and officers to support him or her in this endeavor. The leadpersons and officers must recognize their responsibility to support the goals of the guild according to the guild leader and this document. These leadpersons and officers must further recognize that their position confers no additional privilege over other members of the guild.

Welcome aboard, Zidac!

I must say, this guild sounds just like the guild I've been looking for, especially since it covers a whole lot of time zones.

Very impressive post.

[Greymain]

sounds like you have thought things out very well, I will wait to see if there will be international servers before commiting to any guild.

[Zidac]

Thanks Jaeth! Glad to see you with us.

Greymain: Thanks for the compliment! Really a lot of other people did the design work you see above. I am helping get the word out. We have wide coverage of the time zones but I do understand you wanting to see the server types. Still feel free to stop by and chat and see what things are like.

Greetings!

Ex Umbris (Out of the Shadows) is very excited by the launch of beta 3!

We are a “core” guild that will play the game for fun. We are not casuals or hardcore. We will be raiding on a regular basis. We will have members on all three continents in-game. Our members are currently located from GMT -8 (PST) to GMT +2, (we will not be limiting recruitment to these time zones). We are looking for mature, quality players from the pre-release community. Our guild’s interest run the gamut: Adventuring, raiding, crafting, diplomacy, harvesting, trading, building a guild town, and ships.

We are working very hard on our web site, and lore.

Ex Umbris - Rules

Ex Umbris Raid Loot Rules

The basic tenants of eXu lore include:

-There is a Spiritual Force at work that selects people to have "the call"
-Ex Umbris is thousands of years old and has existed under a great myriad of leaders and has built up an eccentric feel after all this time
-The Ex Umbris "Vaults" were built thousands of years ago when a Dwarf ran eXu.
-Most of the previous generation are finding and selecting our characters and trying to continue the Order.
-Most members are spread out around the world doing what they can to make the "world a better place".
-"The Call" manifests itself as a driving need to get out into the world and make a difference.

We are a role-play friendly guild and have a role-play background that we encourage members to add to, however we do not require any form of role-play from our members.

We are still recruiting and now have a formalized application process. We require the following information when you apply:

Thanks for updating your guild information and even moreso for mentioning this. Its much appreciated!

[Zidac]

This marks the end of our active recruitment phase. We are approaching our soft cap limit for pre-launch members.

New applicants are still welcome to stop by and apply for membership as we have not set a hard cap to our guild size. We just won't be posting monthly recruitment up-dates anymore.

We have attracted many quality 'core' players and look forward to seeing you in-game at launch.
