Sanctuary

INTRODUCTION

Sanctuary is established in december 2008, but has its roots from Lord of the Rings: Online, where the current officers and a few members played together for years already. Over the years, Sanctuary gathered more members from Aion and Rift. Today, 90% of the memberbase has been with us for over 1 year, most span a couple of years. Our guild sticks together no matter what.

Sanctuary has been and will always be a (fairly) hardcore guild trying to set new achievements in terms of grouping and raiding. We value friendship in online gaming and will always keep a friendly attitude towards anyone in the game. Our relaxed, but hardcore attitude is often described as a utopian atmosphere to be in for those who do not want to spend their days amongst elitists and show-offs. We're a mature, down to earth guild filled with people that have more time on their hands than the average gamer. We don't cry about having to cancel a raid, nor about loot. We go with the flow, play and have fun while maintaining a high acitivty level as long as it's possible.

It is possible we will dominate a server, it is possible we will have only 1 person online during the day. It is possible we will have 60 members, it is possible we will have 10. We do not care, Sanctuary is our guild, we play together because we like to do so. We achieve things if we please and we slack if we please. We discuss all together.

HOW TO JOIN US

We used to have application forms for joining us. But since we consider our guild full we will not take such simple applicants in. If you would like to join Sanctuary, you will have to join us on TeamSpeak, play with us and get to know us. If you like playing with us, and we like playing with you, you will be invited, it's as simple as that. We're not actively recruiting, we just invite friends, and you can become one if you want to. Our guild is full, and it doesn't depend on our membercount. If we have 50 or 5 members, we still don't simply take in recruits without knowing the people.

REQUIREMENTS

We don't have any harsh requirements to join, we always make exceptions if needed. Though activity, being able to talk on TS and a Sanctuary-mentality is mandatory. Having a healthy dose of common sense is common sense.

• Class: No requirements
• Age 20+ as our members' age ranges from the young 20's to more than double that age.
• You need to live in Europe and be able to play on the CET time schedule (mostly 19:00-00:00).
• High activity, we do stuff every evening, we'd like for you to participate in as many as you can (at least 3 per week).
• Able to talk on TeamSpeak & Frequent use of the forums. Communication is vital!
• Able to announce if you'll be AFK or absent for events.
• Have the Sanctuary mentality! Layed back, friendly, calm and helpful. Go with the flow and don't cry!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Sanctuary's members are friends, very loyal, sharing and ambitious.

Our ingame leaders are: Laida and Ascahil

We have no guild structure. Some people just do some stuff that others don't. We have no official leaders or officers, though you should see Laida and Ascahil as your godfathers of Sanctuary, they have "managed" the guild for years now. All our members should consider themselves leaders, they all have equal input and we all talk and decide together on the course of the guild. We all talk to eachother on TeamSpeak every day, so it is easy to maintain a guild with no issues at all. Schedules, loot, co-operation, ... all is discussed in open circles with anyone that is willing to listen and participate. We all have full trust in eachother.

TIPS

We do not care much about your past achievements in WoW. We already know before you talk to us that you were in the best guild, as all of us. We care more about personality, we care about you as a person, not a gaming character. Let us know how you feel about us and the game, what you want to achieve with us and why you are interested in Sanctuary. Personality is our priority, characters and status can be made.

We are friends, and we work together. Everything is discussed together and we want all our members to like eachother. So it's best that you are not a solo-player or have your eyes on the loot.

FULL PROCESS FROM APP TO MEMBER

If you'd like to join us, you will need to come on our TS and play with us. After a while you'll be invited to our guild (if you and us are interested in having you in our guild). You'll instantly be member of our guild (though with restricted access to guild bank and such for 1 month). We have no titles in our guild, everyone is a member so you'll be equal as others. Nobody has priority over anyone else and you are free to discuss with everyone else about our guild from making decisions to leading groups. It's very simple.

You have a woman in the guild?

I'm sure I heard one in the video, or is that a man with a high pitched voice?

In the past I haven't met that many woman gamers, let alone been in a guild with them..
