Title: Old guilds
Post by: Tuathanach on January 10, 2009, 01:04:36 am
I was wondering which old guilds (4/5 years +) are still active.

I know the knowledge seekers were founded november 13th 2004. I am guessing not many guilds are older than us, though I am sure there are some. It would be interesting to know  :detective:

Most guilds seem to appeared in the last year and it would be nice for us older guilds to get a mention.

Explorers (http://www.explorersguild.org) are still active...well barely, but we have enjoyed a bit of a revival as of late.   ;)
We were founded May 11, 2003.  I believe Dark Empire is older.  I'm not sure of anyone else that is, so I am interested in the responses here as well.

I think the Warriors and Elemental Light are old guilds. Let us not forget The Way of the Hammer either.

I saw a Guild Knight the past couple days, and, KoF is still registered, Constrabus will be back once he gets his graphics issues fixed on his Linux comp.

 :) The Dark empire is the oldest guild in planeshift that is active today. Then I think it is the Explores guild and Knowledge seekers guild who are in second running.

The Dark Empire is the oldest then the Explorers, yes.  Felines Lair are somewhere in there if they're active at all.

The guild knights aren't an old guild.  I don't believe the Warriors are old either.  Both are maybe two years old?  The warriors are bit younger I think.  I'd have to dig up some threads to get exact numbers.

I disagree on the Guild Knights, they were my first guild when I started, and that was almost four years ago, might not be as old as say Dark Empire, but still, an old one.

I was involved with it when it was new (I was vice leader when I left).  You're right though, it was around longer than two years.  But CB came out in December of 2004, and I started playing in April or March of 2005, and the Guild Knights didn't appear until many months later.  So actually you're right, it might be more than three years old, but still closer to three than four.  Two was a horrible guess on my part.

Thanks Parallo for the list and creation dates. I have seen all these guilds in game over last month, I never realised Felines Lair was that old.

Congratulations to the older guilds for standing the test of time \\o//

I am glad to see the Explorers are coming back for a while I thought you were gone but I have noticed you in game recently.

Guys dont forget there was a full DB wipe August 05, hence KS FL and Explorers all having the same creation day,  Guild Knights also has 2005-08-05 and the DE server creation date is actually  2006-12-14 even though it is the oldest.
