Arcane-Order -Revised
« on: October 03, 2005, 06:48:36 am »


Greetings once again Yliakum

I come to you, on behalf of the Arcane-Council, to enlighten you on the happenings of the Tower Arcana. We are a collective of Wizards, Mages, Sages, and just plain crazy people; who fully devote ourselves to magic. Most do not know of us due to our prior in game activity, however we are rectifying this issue, and are now reaching into the game more so.

Our goal is to spread the knowledge of magic through out the known world, and to educate those brave enough to seek knowledge.

There are a few things you must know about our guild, mainly dealing with the lower levels.



Apprenticeship
You begin your career in the order as an apprentice by talking to a regular member (higher than adept) and persuading him or her to become your master. Once your master feels you are ready to become a true member, he or she shall test you for the title of adept.


Adepthood
After you have taken the first step up the ladder(which is likely the hardest step) you work less with your master, and more on your own, however you stillr eport to your master periodicly.


What gets you promoted?
  • Social Activity within guild
  • Project activity
  • In Game activity
  • Roleplaying
  • The mix of these attributes, and not just focusing on one



You\'re in!
Once your a full member, you report to no one except the lead of your major(more on that in a second), and do your own projects, you also gain access to the member library, you can even take on an apprentice at this point.


Majors
When you become a true member, you must choose a calling:
  • Loremaster-the non-deviant wizard
  • Nightblade-magic by shadow
  • Spellsword-magic by sword




Our Projects
For those of you who do not like in-game as much as most, we have other activities as well:
  • Arcane Tower Mush
  • Arcane-Tower Design
  • Hexaglyphs
  • Arcana Engine
  • Site developement


you can find more about these out by visiting our irc channel on freenode, easy using our applet
Here   ,  or by checking out our forums . And of course you can find our website at http://www.arcane-order.com


Whats actually new?
well mainly, the restarting of AO-Mush (a mud type engine). Arcane-Order is also starting an in game trend, b/c if you notice, we\'ve not been there :P

Additionally, the website is goignt o be re-done to better suite our current trends. There is going to be arcane-order.com, which is modeled like http://www.arcane-order.com/online however it will have links to all the different branches and site proects of AO, so people who soley do AO rp will have there won section, planeshifters will have their own, and of course all our \'official\' projects will have their own.

Thats really all thats new, oh and my pretty banner :]



Until we speak again, farewell.

Definitely the second one.  The numeral \"1\"  seems way out of place int the first one.  As for the color and shading differences, I could go either way.

They\'re both hard to read. >_< Make \"Arcane Order\" stand out more. I hate having to squint at the guild banner. :P

I wanted to say that :/

Moreover in first \'e\' looks like \'c\', whilst in second \'c\' looks like \'e\' (because of the brightness in that point)...

Same problem here, it seems like the AO site is down or not reachable or whatever.

I also haven\'t seen any members of AO ingame for quite a while (which does not necessarily mean a lot, because I\'m not on that often). However, I wonder how many of you are still active?

Knowledge is power, if you know how to apply it.
