Nocturne is a Heaven's Tear based guild made by a group of avid RPG players who have been playing together for many years in games like Guild Wars, Age of Conan or Neverwinter Nights. The guild is a part of a multi-gaming community playing multiple RPGs, called the Black Phoenix Society (http://www.angelsharks.org). Not counting alts, we're currently ~20 members strong and seek to expand our ranks a bit. We are slightly biased towards PvE but are not considering ourselves to be a PvE only guild since many of us enjoy PvP as well.
We put a very strong emphasis on a mature behavior of the guild's members. Maturity, among other things, means to us that our guild chat and voice communication is free of rude or obscene language, swearing, ALL CAPS and 1337 sp34k since most of us are way too old to find any of this particularly funny. Speaking of age, most of us are from their 20s through their 40s, so we prefer to recruit players over the age of 20. We love RPG games but this doesn't mean we're a guild for hardcore players only; like anything else in our guild, our activity rules are quite relaxed and take into consideration that most of our members have a full-time job and/or family which prevents them from playing PW all day including the nights (not that it wouldn't be nice, though).
Our vision:
First off, let me start with what we are NOT about:
* We are not striving to become a top PvP guild at all costs, since many of us believe that this level of competitiveness and having fun are mutually exclusive. We want and will participate in Territory Wars, but we do it for fun and for fun only.
* We're not farm bots. Becoming rich is not our main objective in the game. Having fun is!
What we are about:
* Our aim is to be a guild of close friends to come together and have fun with the game in a environment free of trouble, arguments and immaturity (there is enough of that in real life already).
* We want our guild to be able to beat the most difficult challenges in the game and shine while doing so.
* We want to be a helpful guild where members rush to a comrade's side if assistance with quests or builds is needed/desired.
* We want to be a guild that, while not sacrificing honor and fun for a win, is still being feared as an enemy in PvP.
* We want to be an international guild with members from around the globe to play and chat with.
* Yet, we still want to be a guild which values individual freedom and doesn't press its members into mandatory daily event schedules or farming.
This vision is what drives us as a guild and we are always working towards improving ourselves as a guild and becoming stronger in every single one of these goals.
Who we're looking for:
As being elaborated above, the only real requirements we have are being mature/friendly/fun and being age 20+. Other than that, we don't have any class or level requirements but general familiarity/experience with the game would be a plus. Players from both genders and from all around the globe are equally welcome in our guild. Of course we are particularly looking for players who share our vision and who'd help making it come true, since this is something which only a guild as a whole can achieve and not only its officers or leader.
Our rules are fairly down to earth, we don't allow griefing, scamming, using exploits, foul language and extensive 1337 speak. Sexism and racism is a no-no, too. And last but not least, we don't want to ruin our reputation by having people running around with offensive character names while wearing our guild tag. Basically it boils down to "Don't be a jerk!". That's all.
Oh right.. yes, we do have all the things you'd expect a good guild to have, including a website (http://www.angelsharks.org), a forum and voice com server. If you think Nocturne could be the right guild for you, please contact me, any of our officers in game, or reply in this topic.
My main two characters are Belial and Mia. The officers to contact are, alphabetically, Canis, Danyelle, IFriday and StellaP.
