Jeh, i think it\'s time to make second AO recruitment thread for AO. The old one was a bit full of off-topic jokes and at 180 posts getting too long for anyone to read through. So here goes AO Recruit Mark II ....
Arcane Order is a guild for mages and wizards. All races in Yliakum are accepted as members, the only requirement is that the player\'s character will practice magic.
Arcane Order has 9 ranks and 3 branches . Also it covers all 6 ways of Magic in Yliakum with a Council Member overseeing the practice of Magic in each of these. The 6 member Council is the Authoritative body of AO and makes decissions by consensus and/or majority vote.
The 3 branches are :
- Spellsword - This branch is for fighters who practice magical skills to aid in combat, thus Fighter/Mages. Our spellswords are our protection, the threat of their revenge serves to keep our guild at peace and Spellsword will protect fellow members on quests etc.
- NightBlade - This branch is for rogues who use magic to aid improve their stealth, spying, stealing, backstabbing etc. (you know, the stuff rogues usually do). They are thus Rogue/Mages. Nightblades serve as AO\'s eyes and ears, they provide us the necessary intelligence and subversive capability we need to survive in a dangerous world.
- Warlock - This branch is for our pure mages, who will mainly practice their magical abilities. The Warlock branch is the mainstay of Mages that make Ao the Mage guild that it is, however all three branches have equal status and are equally important to AO.
More info about all our branches, the ranking system, membership policy and AO in general can be found on our homepage.
About the ranking system can be said that all new member start out as an apprentice. There is a minimum of 3 weeks trial period for Apprentices during which time we get to know the new member and guage his/her commitment, activity and suitability as member of AO.
An active and committed member that \"gels\" well with the other members will be promoted to the rank of Adept according to merit. All promotion decission are made by Council.
The second promotion opportunity will allow the member to choose one of the 3 branches named above, i.e. SpellSword, NightBlade or Warlock.

You can also find us in irc in #arcaneorder @ quakenet.

And it might also wanted to be taken to mind that we are disucussing invitation only members, meaning if you were debating joining, you might want to do so soon.
-
This is to announce yet a new member for AO. VeNoM has just joined our ranks, a warm welcome to you. Make yourself at home, VeNoM, we will take good care of you :D
To all AO members the order has been decreed, take VeNoM in and make our newest member feel right at home!
I confirm what Druke has said above, for every new member we are getting closer to the possibility of AO closing recruitment on a voluntary basis and changing it to a Invitation-only mode. We want to structure the order well and make sure that all our members are well networked. At the rate that members are streaming in we might need to close the free-for-all recruitment policy.
So this is NOT a drill, repeat ......
ahem, I mean..... this is NOT just a recruitment publicity stunt, repeat .......
If you are seriously considering joining AO hurry up, before it might be too late. ;(

Boy! you talking about me... boy!
Edit: no seriously - the Arcane Order is the only Magical Guild in all of Yliakum at this point and we are proud of the extremely loyal fanbase that we have so far recruited into our ranks. So if you intend to stick around with Planeshift until the forseen end-date (I think the common forecast is around when either Tucks the Linux Penguin dies or the Chinese invade Turkey) then the Arcane Order is the right guild for you. Remember although we strongly emphasize on magic, one does not have to be a pure mage. My character for example is a kran warrior, who is the devoted (if thickheaded) bodygaurd of Illyria the White.

Hey I managed to miss the new thread, well at least I\'ve found it now.
Welcome to the new members and I hope to speak with you soon!!
By the way the link to the new forum seems to lead to a blank page!
-
actually its http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum/index.php (http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum/index.php)
-
thanks Druke - stop changing you guys!!!
-
*cries* our site and forums are blocked here in my computer science class... i\'ll ahve to live with ust the PS forums
-
The most beloved of the councilmembers is back from his trip to poland (the favourite councilmember being \"me\", of course :P)
It is good to see that we are still gaining new members.. Hurry up, and join whilst there is still time!
-
welcome back Xal
-
Thx Druke, It\'s always nice with a welcome :)
-
My God, I\'m only ill for 10 days and our members go nuts!
Don\'t worry, Mommy is back and will teach the Mad Mumblin\' Englishman and our New Mad Mumbling Monk to talk \"sense\" about \"in-cense\" and \"cents\" for their money\'s worth \"since\" none of us others that have our \"senses\" in place can understand in what \"sense\" of the word their \"s(ent)ences\" should make any \"sense\" to the rest of us 8o :D
Btw Deos, nice to see a new member active here eventhough we don\'t have a clue what your on about :P
For any other poor ppl reading this thread it IS about recruitment for new members to AO. Right now we are displaying how much fun we have in AO. Also this is a test, if you get scared away by Mad Mumblers, be they Englishmen or Monks (no real difference there 8o ), you are not fit to be an AO member. A Mage needs to be able to concentrate on chanting his spells no matter how bad the background noise and distractions are :P
-
I\'ll join, I\'ve sent an email to join@arcaneorder@cjb.net and I\'ve talked to some people on irc

choice? whoever said he had a choice? :D
-
just guessing he chose us instead of any of the other foppish guilds... (and that he wasn\'t forced :P, that would not be as cool)
-
We are happy to announce that AO and Rangers guild have committed to a comprehensive alliance between our two guilds. The exact terms of our alliance agreement are not publicly know, save to say that we will back each other up to the hilt.
AO takes pride in it\'s loyalty to it\'s allies and therefore we choose them carefully. Congratulations to both ourselves and Rangers :D
Rangers, we are proud to be associated with you!
-
Congrats to both Arcane Order and the Rangers for the establishment of this alliance! I pledge the friendship and support of all Mirth members towards the new allies (AO) of our allies (Rangers.)
-
Good news everyone, an old AO stalward Isgrimnur has returned from his battles with his car, insurance company and a hell of a work load! :D
Great to have you in our midst again Grim!

This post won\'t make much sense now. I just deleted nearly 2 entire pages of back-to-back spam posts. Come on guys... you can do better than this. This thread was created to get away from that crap and now its own members spam it up again?
It\'s okay to have a couple of chit-chat posts here and there. Stuff like that is sociable and funny and doesn\'t get deleted. But 2 pages of it... that\'s just disrespectful to the person who created this topic in the first place.
Please don\'t do it.
-
I don\'t think Tepsu\'s much into what happens here :P
But still, yes, it is stupid to get the thread all spammed up (not saying that I\'m innocent)
We should, of course, concentrate on getting more members to this most excellent guild.
I don\'t know about the others, but I\'ve stopped spamming (here :P)

Since when has Paladin of Mystra become Original!?
Mystra is the dead god of magic in D&D :P
Spellswords, Nightblades and Warlocks are terms used before, granted, but they are also the best at describing what your rank really is within the guild, should you ever get promoted to such... Therefore they are the best..

We don\'t live by code of conduct set by D&D\'ers :P I can honestly say that we chose the ranks from something completely random... The fact that they are all classes in the old game Daggerfall is merely a coinsidence :P :rolleyes:
-
Hey I haven\'t posted here for a while so here goes.
Why not come and visit with the Arcane Order on our forums (http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum) or on irc at #arcaneorder@quakenet
-
Hi everyone, Illyria has been on a Necromancing quest into serious and dark netherworlds. Believe me I saw murky things no-one wants to or should see .... 8o
Anyway I\'m back. It is nice to see there is still life here in the upper world and that the sun is still shining on AO :D
-
YAY, Welcome Back Wolfmane!
-
Hurrray welcome back wolf.
-
Yay, Welcome back wolfie, nice to see you haven\'t forgot about us!!
How did your quest go?
-
Hi all, thanks for the warm welcomes all round. I was especially touched by Alucard\'s warm and heartfelt welcome ;( :D
We are happy to announce that one of our staunchest members has deservingly been promoted to the highest possible rank in AA, bar Council itself, namely that of Arcane. This is an honour we bestow on the best of the best only. Arcane is to us Mages what would be akin to a General in an Army.
Congratulations Morgy!
-
I suppose I better keep this thread going!!
Were still here folks
:D :D :D :D :D
-
jeh, still here, not going anywhere :P
-
Never even heard of your guild until this recent post...
-
Seing as I am one of the most active people on this forum, and my sig kinda links to AO site, because of my council member status... I\'m surprised you haven\'t taken the time to read the bottom line :P
-
AO is probably the most active guild in these forums and you want to tell us you\'ve never heard of it...
that can only mean one thing: you\'re stupid :D (that might also explain your membership in the cabal ^^)
-
true nuff xor. we all just waiting for cb to release cant really give any more ideas since its so close to release
-
OK, it is tinme to do something with our forums, we need a new server, what do we need to do to do thyis?
\'
it is now getting to an annoying point, tell what i need to do to fix it b/c i dont want to wait 30mins per click to have to post there
-
Hi Druke,
We need to move the Forum to a new server, Axsyrus and Elscouta is working on it together with Tepsu. So let\'s hope they get it done soon for I agree it is more than annoying.
-
yup, I hope they fix it soon.. I\'ve given up trying to go there.. Waiting 5 minutes each time you load a new subsection can get on your nerves :P
-
wow..our forums...move....you click...and it goes...
-
wow, it\'s true.. i don\'t have to wait 5:45 seconds for it to load anymore 8o
-
Hey guys I\'ve visited your website and saw I didn\'t write my favourite magic school in the e-mail I\'ve sent before. Please forgive me and if you need it so badly reply to my e-mail and ask what ever you need. I really like your guild and wanna join it.
-
Excellent choice Ice_Phoenix welcome to our guild, I hope you will feel at home here :D
Ps: We don\'t require you to tell us your favourite magic school yet, you can always figure that out later.
If you use Irc I\'d recommend you to check out our channel #arcaneorder @ Quakenet
Almost all members hang out there, and most of the councilmembers too. And also you can register at our forums
this being the link there \"http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum/index.php\"
Once again, welcome :)
-
OK I get almost everything but where can I find you guys? What forums, chats, etc... (q to the AO)
-
Our website is www.arcaneorder.tk (http://www.arcaneorder.tk)
Our forums are at http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum/index.php (http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum/index.php)
and try getting on the Irc channel #arcaneorder at the quakenet server..
-
i may be a bit inactive over the next few days, my home net is down, and i can only use the school computers with the protection, so i\'ll only be on these boards for another day then absent till monday, got a trip to souh carolina for a big cc race
-
AO is the best choice ;)
Have phun druke :D
-
AO has been a good guild. Actually, I remember it being formed when I first started playing... a long time ago (about... hmm 10 months to a year now).
You can be sure that you are joining a good guild.
-
yes, we are an old guild (at least in PS terms), but we don\'t have that oldbie attitude some of the people around here tend to flaunt :P
So if you are interested in a fun guild community and an experienced team of leaders as well as devoted members, be sure to check us out..
-
Can I join this guild? I was just wondering because I haven\'t joined a guild yet.
-
Sure, just visit http://www.arcaneorder.cjb.net there\'s some info about the guild and how to join. also visit our IRC channel, #arcaneorder @ irc.quakenet.org , there\'s always someone there to talk to.
-
Looks like the Arcane Order will get their very own Guild Guide as he calls himself. :P
-
Eh, Rajene, before you apply to join, you should check our website, so you get to know our guild a bit better, and if you still want to join, come to our irc channel, #arcaneorder @ quakenet, there\'s always some of the council in there(at least if your from europe), so you should have a word with one of us in there.
-
Hey ppl back form my cross country meet, just letting you know i hadn\'t gone into a coma playing a game or something :D
-
ive mailed the order with my application
sorry i havent been able to participate in the chat channel....but theres always the game :)
-
Welcome to the Arcane Order, try to visit the IRC channel if you can, a lot of the members are there all the time.
-
Great! You can never have enough allies. :D
-
8o ;( ?(
our forums are down agian, as the have been for a while.. maybe we should get the servers taht PS is offering to guilds for it
-
uhmm.. why are the forums never down for me.. i can just access them like always :/
-
uhmm.. yeah, wolfmane is male you know ;)
Druke: http://aoforum.friserverplads.dk/forum/index.php
it has been working fine for me all the time, maybe it\'s because you\'re in america and the server is in denmark?
-
Same for me, i can\'t access forums
-
Me neither. It\'s public, right?
-
yes.. everybody should be able to access it, why am i the only person who can ?(
-
I can access it as well, in fact it has been rather fast the last times, maybe that is because there are not that many members browsing it. :D
-
jeh, for me too.. it\'s faster than the PS forums, but nobody else can post :(
-
shold we maby make use of the guild provided server?
-

I agree. I\'ll never code another forum. (but i don\'t think Axsyrus meant we\'ll do our own forum) :P
But our main site use php code to manage promotions, library and news.
-
lol, I didn\'t mean we wanted to do our own forums, we don\'t have THAT much free time :P
Anyways, the new website is up and running and the members have all edited their profiles so we\'re back to recruiting again.
If you\'re interested in joining a mage\'s guild visit: www.arcaneorder.com (http://www.arcaneorder.com) and go to the members section :D
-
Congratz for this very nice site, it looks very ... \"professional\" and it is full of interesting infos.
*Steals a few ideas and runs away :D

Jeh ... come and get recruited >:]~~
-
Join us, and become part of a guild with ambitions! A guild of magic and a guild dedicated to its members!!
-
hey guys, i would like to join AO. my in game name is Goliarth and have visited the site. you guys look like a well rounded, fun loving clan. i hope to join ur ranks soon!
btw. my race is Kran and would like to be nightblade
-
Great, a new apprentice, I would like to welcome you to the Arcane Order, please pay a visit to our IRC channel too, most members are there so you can talk to us if you want(there\'s a tutorial for how to use mIRC somewhere on the planeshift website, the #arcaneorder channel is located on the same server as the planeshift fanchannel)
I have one comment on your choice though
Kran + Magic = not very good(although we do have another member like this :P)
Kran + Rogue = pretty bad too
so Kran+Magic+Rogue might not be the best choice there is, but if you really want it, you\'re allways welcome to the Arcane Order :)
-
Really, just like Axsy said: I would like to welcome you! AO really is a nice choise - great atmosphere, good people, etc. So we\'ll be happy to have you onboard!
-
Yes. You can find pretty fun but weird combinations. Maybe i\'ll be a druid which use Azure-Red magic. Completely weird isn\'t it?
-
WOW - I wasn\'t here for a looooong time... hmm is there thread #3? hmm :)
Moon_sth... come to our IRC channel - it is the only way you can join Arcane Order you know?
To the others - i heard there are romours about members that are not in Arcane Order, but say they are >: | - We do not take any responsibility about them.
-
I mean ppl who said they want to join, came to forums, and added AO sigs in ps forums, though they ARE NOT YET in the Arcane Order. So I just warn everyone and if they want to be sure, go check memberlists at http://www.arcaneorder.com
