  Exploring Two Guilds
  
  I had planned to spend only one installment of The Communal Voice
  devoted to the Guild phenomenon. I thought that more than that would
  be overkill, pushing the virtues of a guild on my readers too
  much. However, I have received, since the publishing of my first
  installment, numerous emails and ICQ messages with praise for the
  topic, and ideas for potential future articles. It seems the topic of
  guilds is a hot one!
  
  It's now my intention to spend several more articles devoted to this
  topic. In particular, to do several features on some of online
  gaming's best known guilds. The guilds featured will be ones that are
  well known throughout the gaming world they inhabit. On top of
  supplying some much deserved exposure for these guilds that have
  worked so hard to create a lasting impression on the game they play
  (as well as a fun and sociable environment for their members), my hope
  is that this series of articles will also further my ultimate goal to
  increase gamer's awareness of the benefits of an online community.
  
  I am a huge fan of the CRPG (computer role-playing game) genre. It
  only makes sense then that "RPG" games playable online would be one of
  my favorite genere's. For this first article in the "mini-series", I
  wish to focus on what has been perhaps one of the most controversial
  games in recent memory. Anyone who has played it either loves it or
  hates it, but no matter what side you are on, it's hard to deny that
  it has been one of the games best geared towards guilds, and indeed
  any type of online community, ever. I speak of course about Origin's
  Ultima Online (UO).
  
  I attempted, in preparation for this article, to contact several of
  the most well-known guilds in Ultima Online. Not wanting to be biased
  by my gaming choice, I tried to get in touch with both "noble" guilds,
  (whose in-game play mostly focuses on helping each other and other
  players) as well as "PK" guilds (whose goals often involve the killing
  of other players for personal gain). It is unfortunate that the only
  responses I received were from the noble guilds, as I was truly hoping
  to be able to represent both sides. However, I am pleased with the
  response I received from two guilds in particular which, to me, embody
  everything that is good and beneficial about on online gaming society,
  particularly in UO.
  
  When contacting the guilds in question, I sent them a slew of
  questions, arrived at with the help of Gasper from the UOVault, along
  with a brief explanation of what I planned on doing with the responses
  (cut and paste their answers with my witty commentary to arrive at the
  work you see here.. :c) ). The questions included:
  
  1) How long has your guild, in its current form, been playing UO?
  
  2) How many members are currently active in your guild? (ie: How many
  play UO within the guild structure on a regular basis?). If, at some
  point, there were a lot more members in your guild, why do you think
  the numbers have dwindled? Is it for the better? If there were a lot
  less members, why do you think your numbers have grown? Is it for the
  better?
  
  3) For those of our readers that have not played UO, or never heard of
  you, what type of guild are you? Can you very briefly describe your
  guild philosophy?
  
  4) What are some of the things your guild does (in game and out) that
  you particularly enjoy? These things do not necessarily have to be
  unique, but they should be activities or guild features that increase
  the enjoyment for all your members.
  
  5) What was your guild's crowning moment in UO? What was its worst
  moment? If you care to elaborate, please let the readers know if (and
  how) these moments strengthened or weakened the ties that bind your
  guild together.
  
  The first guild, The Lost Order of Akalabeth, has been playing Ultima
  Online for almost a year and a half. There are 82 full and accepted
  members all of whom "have proven to us beyond a shadow of a doubt that
  they have our ideas and objectives in their hearts...are actively
  involved, and respect our online "family" for who and what we are."
  This guild also has an extremely well thought out initiation scheme
  that prevents players not entirely devoted to the overall success of
  the guild from gaining admittance. Interested players can look forward
  to at least a month-long waiting period, as well as participation in
  numerous meetings in order to gain member trust and respect.
  
  "The Lost Order of Akalabeth is a Guild devoted to role-playing and
  ensuring the maximum enjoyment of Ultima Online for as many of the
  people within the Ultima multiverse as possible. We are a Guild firmly
  rooted in the concept of "Goodness" for all that the term implies. We
  see the Lost Order of Akalabeth as a large family, and actively
  encourage all members to assist each other wherever possible, within
  the constraints of the game and our policies." The use of the word
  "family" is significant here. Many tightly knit guilds, and indeed any
  type of community online, develop bonds and ties as real and as strong
  as those they have in real life. The absence of a physical presence of
  people to interact with has not limited guild-mates from becoming best
  friends in many cases, and it shows hearing LOA talk about their
  infrastructure.
  
  It has long been my personal belief that the key to a guild's success
  is what it provides the members with. A guild that bases its community
  solely on it's name, hoping to reap the benefits a group of players
  brings without putting in the necessary work is destined to fail. Just
  go to any of the UO guild listing pages and see how many of the links
  are still active and updated, compared to the number that are
  obviously no longer in existence. LOA has taken a unique stance on
  member privileges (although one that seems to be catching on as more
  and more groups realize the merits of the practice). Many guilds hold
  in game events (quests, feasts, races, etc.), as is expected by all
  involved. LOA, however, has taken this practice one step further,
  organizing real life events for members to participate in. According
  to Brimstone (the founding member of LOA who answered the
  questionnaire for me) participation in these events has "strengthened
  the bonds (and friendships) of our guild". They had a "Gathering" in
  Michigan, where some of their members had lunch together, an "East
  Coast Gathering", where several members had dinner and visited the
  Baltimore Inner Harbor, and they also have a paintball event planned
  where not only guild members, but also friends and allies of the
  guild, are invited to play.
  
  From the answers Brimstone sent to my above listed questions, it's
  evident that the "pride in this guild is phenomenal". Many members
  have remained in the problem filled world that is Ultima Online out of
  simple dedication to the guild, willing to pay the $10 monthly fee not
  because of the game itself, but because of the environment they have
  worked so hard to develop.
  
  The second guild I wish to profile, The Burning Heart, has been in
  existence for nearly 2 years, having played UO since shortly after the
  pre-Alpha test. They have a current active member roster of some 105
  players, of which maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of those are "retired" (meaning
  they no longer play UO, but wish to remain in the guild, waiting for
  the next online RPG). This is a common practice in guilds where strong
  ties have been formed. As mentioned above with LOA, many guild members
  prefer the guild to the game, and stay active members, even after they
  are no longer interested in the primary game played. Daylar (founder
  of The Burning Heart) put it perfectly when, in response to question
  #3, he ended with: "If you polled most of the members who are active
  in the BH, I think they would say that they enjoy the guild
  relationship more than they enjoy the game that Origin has provided."
  
  Both in game, and out, the BH take extra steps to ensure member
  satisfaction and enjoyment. A very well thought out system for
  organizing events inside UO means that members can look forward to
  something special in UO every week. Being a guild founder myself, and
  involved in such event organization, I can tell you it is no easy
  feat. The BH, through the use of inner-guild "divisions" (called
  Hands), have 5 such events each week to choose from. The goal?
  "foremost...to build that family feeling". Of course, they are as
  active out of game as they are in UO. Weekly meetings on IRC, web page
  message boards, ICQ contacts, and real life meetings all serve to
  strengthen the bonds formed between members, and thus increase the
  enjoyment of game time.
  
  Every guild has what I would call a "crowning moment". A time in their
  existence that stands out in the minds of all the members as the
  greatest accomplishment. The BH is no exception, and in fact are quite
  remarkable in this respect: "I would have to say that our biggest
  achievement is the publishing of our Strategy Guide. We are the only
  guild in existence, to my knowledge, to be approached by a long time
  game strategy guide publisher (Sybex) requesting we author and publish
  a guide for an online, ever-changing game. As coordinator on our end,
  it was amazing seeing how people could work together during the Beta
  test compiling information on anything and everything they could. From
  start to sending our final draft to Sybex, we put together this guide
  in less than 3 weeks...we sought to provide newbies hints and tips on
  how to survive, earn money, and avoid 'PlayerKillers'... we are very
  proud of what we published." The level of communication and trust
  between members that must have been necessary for this project is
  staggering. At the heart of any strong guild, is a communication
  system that enables members to stay in touch despite the obvious
  geographical difficulties, something that the BH obviously posses and
  take advantage of.
  
  The Burning Heart is a guild also deeply involved in role-playing to
  the greatest extent allowed by the game. I urge anyone interested in
  role-playing "good" to check out the BH's web page to learn more about
  some of the projects they have lined up to make the world in which
  they play in a better place.
  
  Before I close this edition of The Communal Voice, I would like to
  make a brief plug. Two years ago, I founded a guild with the simple
  goal of providing members with a large database of people with whom to
  play. Humble beginnings for sure, but at the time, even that seemed
  like a daunting task (for those of you curious to see what said guild
  has become, check out www.o-s-c.com). This column will always be
  written from the slightly biased viewpoint that a guild is a good
  thing! I urge anyone who has not yet done so, to check out the
  numerous online communities that exist in whatever game you play, for
  as this article has attempted to show, they make the game a much more
  interesting place for all involved.
  
  Next month...Quake (and Quake II, and CTF and TF etc etc!). If you are
  in a Quake clan and feel your clan belongs in the spotlight for a
  short 15 minutes, please contact me.
