Bound By Blood Guild Recruitment OPEN RP-PVP

Welcome to your next guild - Possibly.

Bound By blood is a guild community with one goal - and that is to create a community of likeminded gamers with a desire for a long term guild membership with the goal to make friends and team for endgame and levling.

About the guild/community as a whole:

Being 30+ years of age, and having played several games throughout the years, I've also ran several guilds. One thing I almost continuously bump into is l33t sp34ak1ng d00dz who think they are a better person than you (or at least act like it) just because they have advanced more than you have in a given game.

I have very little patience for people like that I generally try to avoid them. I'd rather surround myself with likeminded people who take friendship first and appreciate the social compatibility there hopefully should be in a guild/community for friendships to build.

It is with these observations and ideas that I will now build a guild/community... to avoid the things I don't like, and to provide a place for people to hang out for as long as they care. Give people a place to come to for a good laugh, or even for support if that should be nessecary.
We don't prefer one type of gamers over others. I'd like to stress out that this is all about the community and atmosphere of the guild, and not about making a guild purely based on powergamers or casual gamers. All types are welcome. But one thing that's for sure. We will strive to be the best of the best in Age Of Conan.

Members and their Leadership:

I don't want powerhungry people swinging a whip because of a title within the guild. And I want all to be able to feel welcome within the guild, and have a role to fill. Regardless of just being a contributor as a normal member inside the community, or having a leadership role. Being a leader doesn't make you more important than any other member. It simply means that you have been given a chance to lead people because you have the personality, the organizational skills, the diplomatic skills and the desire!

Being the founder, all I require personally is the right to veto any descision if I feel it's damaging for the guild or doesn't seem to go along with the vision intended. This is not a right I hope I will have to execute very often.

Bound By Blood - And Age of Conan

What are we all about? Well... that's still something that's left to be decided... what will our longterm goal be.. besides being a guild that hopefully will be an admired and respected guild for our accomplishments?

A good solid plan, theme and idea will always be prioritized, so if you feel like you are interrested in playing one of these, and at the same time have an interrest in shaping up such a community, then you are most likely what we're looking for, and I hope you will take it into your consideration to apply, as we have a large need of leaders and regular members.
So - To summarize... are you interrested in help shaping a community?
Are you interrested in being in a guild that will strive to be among the best?
Are you interrested in help shaping and providing ideas for our website and forum section?
Are you a proper candidate to be a good member or even a good leader... then by all means... visit our website, register and fill out a join request.
We will have TS to start then seeing how all things go move to ventrilo.

Looking forward to hearing from you and comments are very welcome.

Until then, thank you very much for your time.

Any Ex-SWG Players will be more then welcome.

Constructing a Guild City

A guild city is a major commitment, requiring a massive investment of blood and treasure to create and maintain.

After battling your way off the beach, you’ve carved your own place in the world of Hyboria with grit, determination, and steel. Now you’re part of a hardy band of warriors and the time has come to claim your own chunk of the Hyborian Dream. After all, what is a guild without land and a mighty fortress standing atop it, telling all who come near of the power and glory they possess?

A guild city is a major commitment, requiring a massive investment of blood and treasure to create and maintain. With a great price comes a great reward, however, as the benefits for owning one extend beyond lording over your greatness to one and all. In addition to power and prestige, there are concrete benefits to land ownership in Age of Conan.

A player city provides a central gathering point, meeting hall, role-playing center, and socializing hub for your guild. Instead of trying to herd people across the world into the same place at the same time, simply tell everyone to get back to the city, and if someone insists on telling Chuck Norris jokes in the middle of tense role-play sessions, boot them out of the guild and leave them to the wolves.

Some buildings are there to support crafters and grant access to upper-level crafting recipes, as it’s impossible to build a siege engine without the mighty Engineer’s Workshop.

For more concrete benefits, several of the buildings grant benefits to all members of a class or archetype in your guild. Build a Temple and your priests will all grow tougher, while a Thieves’ Guild will help all your rogues get sneakier and stabbier. “But how?” you cry. We’ve consulted with the darker powers in Development—Jayde—and he gave us some detailed info on how some of these buildings will work.

The most common bonus available to players through the player cities will be the passive and/or feat based statistical bonuses for owning a Keep or other “archetype” buildings. These include: The University (Magic Rating), the Temple (Magic Resists), the Barracks (Defense Rating), and the Thieves’ Guild (Attack Rating). Additionally, the Keep building will have a generic bonus to Health Points, Mana Points, and/or stamina points.

Furthermore, these bonuses will increase based on the tier of each building, so a guild that puts in the effort to build a massive, powerful city will receive massive, powerful bonuses, the better to lord it over their friends and enemies.


Requirements and Locations

To book a city spot, you yourself need to be the Guild Leader, level 40+, and have 24+ members. If you meet those requirements, you can simply choose to reserve a piece of land in one of the so-called “resource and gathering areas”.
Laceish Plains — The bleak, snowy, and mountainous Laceish Plains are where Cimmerians may feel most at home.
Poitain —The “smiling sun-washed plains and blue lazy rivers” of Poitain will remind many Aquilonians of their homeland.
Purple Lotus Swamp — Dark and mysterious, but also green and full of life, the Purple Lotus Swamp is where Stygians may gather to do their devious deeds.

Upgrading your city
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, if you want to crush your foes and drive them before you, you must have a Level 3 Player City before you can claim a Battlekeep for your own. It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, but the view is spectacular! And by then, you already know how to construct a settlement.

It is possible to upgrade all buildings and there are three levels in total. Upgrading a building will not only make it look better, it will also provide improved benefits!

So, what are you waiting for? Start the city planning!


All the available player buildings are described in the new section 'Player Buildings'.

Guilds

9.1 Will players be able to form guilds in Age of Conan?
Yes, there is an extensive guild system in the game. There will be certain requirements for founding a guild. For example, creating a guild is free, but you will need to be at least level 20 to do so.


9.2 What are the benefits of being in a guild?

Communication: The chat window offers a guild channel where everyone in the guild can communicate.

Organization: The guild leader and their officers can establish rules the members have to follow and give members various ranks.

Privileges: Each rank can also have a certain set of privileges tied to it.

In addition to that, only guilds can build and conquer the battlekeeps and towers in the Border Kingdom and only guilds can build the player cities.


9.3. Are there any classes that can be particularly helpful for guilds?
All of them!

Guilds will need high-level crafters of all kinds to help build and maintain their city or battlekeep or tower, as well as keep members supplied with all the equipment required to survive in Hyboria. Guilds playing in the PvP regions will need those and will also need a coterie of tough fighters, healers, mages, and rogues to deal with other guilds’ attacks.


9.4 Can guilds build guild houses?
Yes. Players can create entire cities and fill them with different kinds of buildings. There is also a town hall in each city that can be used as a gathering point or social hub or meeting hall, whatever your guild would like to do with it.


9.5 I’m a solo player. Do you have to be in a guild to progress through the game?
No, you do not need to be in a guild to enjoy the game, and it’s possible to play solo all of the way to level 80. There will be exciting solo PvE gameplay through all levels, but that said, many of the large-scale features like raids and massive PvP will require groups, guilds, or otherwise working with other players.
