[shorty13]

***Masoj embraces you, then steps back remebering his straightness*** lol  I have talked to you in-game and good luck with your guild...again.   I hope our guilds will be mutual friends .   C ya in game!!!

Welcom back Easton!

I would like to extend the hand of friendship from both myself and the Darschis Knights to the Swords of Ghent. It\'s nice to know that my small band of knights does not stand alone against the dark forces that have come to threaten this land.

Also if you would like when Aranis gets finished with our site I will see if he is willing to help you with yours.

I\'m with Efflixi on this one. No idea who you are, rather arrogant of you to presume...

Also, may I point out the irony of having a \"magicians\" rank in  the Swords of Ghent?

If you have no understanding of magic, leave it out of your guild.

That statement Phinehas (or should I say Phinhas) is completely ilogical and shows a truly profound lack of understanding as to just what would be considered a weapon in a magical world.

Pssst... little hint, when you\'re telling someone off, try not to mispell words...

Anyways, I have no idea what your cryptic statement meant, but before you explain make sure that you really want to get into an argument with me about one of the few things I do know...

Also, to clarify, the last sentence was directed at guilds in general, not this one in particular. I\'m sick of guilds who have no knowledge of magic, and aren\'t particularly interested in it adding a magic branch to their guild just because \"that\'s what you do\".

I simply ask for magic to be given the same respect as is given to other things, such as weaponry. I don\'t like the attitude that \"Well, we made a guild for sword-fighters, but we better add a magic branch in too, just in case.\" Not only is it wrong for the obvious reason, but then you also end up with a lot of \"Heads of Magic Departments\" whose knowledge of magic is limited to opening their spellbook and clicking Cast Flame Burst.

so you assume that i do not know anything about magic? anyway, since this is my guild thread, please keep it to constructive crticism, otherwise, i will make a \"flame my guild\" thread if the people demand it.

and thank you Hatchnet for the offer about the website, it is greatly appreciated, and i am sure our guilds will have a future together in some form

Phinehas I have no desire to start an argument with you, as I am sure you know more about magic than I.

I must however assure you as to the place magic will have in this guild. Magic will have an equal place amonst all other skills available. This is wise and legitimate. We are neither a hack or cast guild specifically. We are a guild seeking quality people, and we require quality people of all skill types in order to make a complete and balanced guild. To do otherwise would be like having a guild where everyone was a fisherman, but no one was a cook. We would have a lot of fish that we could do nothing with. The benefit would be lost. We are not adding it just because, \"it is what you do.\" We have a magic rank because we see it as important. Therefore we are doing exactly as you desire; giving magic the same respect as all other skills. I myself as a senior member of this guild will be training in weapons and magic because I recognise both as valid. Further I hope we will have as many members training in weapons, as in magic, as in crafting, as in all of the skills.

As to the name \"Swords of Ghent. This title does not restrict us in anyway from having magicians. In the same way not everybody in an army is an infantry soldier. An army has cooks, typists, mechanics etc; and because they have these elements it does not proclude the title of army being justifiably used.

swords can just be a symbolism fo something used to attack someone else, being a brute weapon or magical spell.  Open your minds a little guys and stop acting like narrow-minded, one track morons who try to think of any reason to put down a good guild.  ***And to think I thought of that the very first time I saw the name and am only 16***

Well, the Swords of Ghent were disbanded for a bit, but due to a few more-than-generous donations and a bit of hard work, we have reformed.

Our first order of business is to organize the guild and regain a stable membership. In addition to that, i am working on earning the tria to repay those who helped us in our time of need.

If anyone is interested in joining our ranks please visit the forums at

I have viewed the web page, and would like to know more.

Is there a list of the ingame names of players that I might add to my buddy list, (with permission).

This way we could get to know each other, any my suitablility for membership could be guaged.

A little about myself to begin with, ingame my character is known as Glendyl Aers, I tend to wander around, explore as much as I am able and help others along the way to the best of my ability.

I am fairly new to the game myself, having played for around three weeks now.

Looking forward to hearing from someone.

It is only fair to mention that I am also \'researching\', three other guilds, with similar ingame ethics to mine.

Cheers.
