Hi.
As Euphie has explained we have experience over a wide range of MMORPGs ranging from popular ones such as WoW, to unheard of tighter communities in MMOs such as GunZ. When we get hooked on an MMO we play to win, and become dedicated to improve and be the best we possibly can, hopefully taking motivation from the strength and skill of rival guilds and fellow members. In other words, whatever game we have put our heads to, we have succeeded to cap our characters, and propose a high standard of reputation in showing a friendly attitude, a strong level of participation in game and accomplished PvP standards towards other Guilds.
The founders of the Guild came from SWG in particular though, however our anticipation for AoC has brought members in from a great number of MMOs where they have also shown these skills. So basically between us we have a vast amount of knowledge of a great deal of games. Because we are a newly formed Guild for AoC, we do not have tabs displaying LXP's successes in SWG or WoW, and so I hope that clears up the question.
Secondly, about the idea of following an idiot into a fire... No one would expect you to as this would be absurd. As far as a democracy goes, the Guild will not completely lack input from others. Infact we will take the advice of others quite seriously. In a nutshell this refers to one of the rules:
5.You must follow the orders of the Highest rank member in your group in a combat situation.
When it comes to anything but combat, then this will not be the case. We don't want to boss people around, and we won't roleplay ranks or anything. We will above all be a group of friends. However we just mean in PvP we will appoint the best people for leading the group, who have shown that they know what they're doing. This doesn't mean that if a member has a good tactical idea we will disregard it, we will always be open to advice in those situations and so completely free of democracy is a bit inaccurate.
Ultimately thought, it is for you to decide whether you want to join us or not.
Thanks - we are a new Guild that needs to be moulded and so this sort of stuff is useful. If there is anything else you want to know about us feel free to ask.
Acilius.
