RUIN / RUIN

GUILD MISSION STATEMENT:

To seek out dominant guilds and destroy them. To find the most challenging opposition and achieve total, un-contested victory through whatever means necessary. Ruin will humble the arrogant, put the claims of elite organizations to the test. Ruin will seek out natural leaders and provide them with the means to challenge the established order in any game we play. Action, not words, will establish your worth.

Ruin will raise an army of dedicated, disciplined players who share our passion for competitive play. Ruin exists to provide an arena in which all members can improve themselves and our organization. Ruin members will obtain the rewards that each game offers in a way that honors the extent of their contribution to their fellow guild members.

We will achieve these results without needless elitism. Ruin will always welcome the new player, and train them to take on the best. This is our greatest strength. All members of Ruin have a responsibility to themselves and their fellow members to improve their game-play and to pass on what they have learned.

INTRODUCTION

BEHAVIOUR:

Great guilds are built through the dedication of its members. All players are expected to demonstrate competency in all aspects of their play. PvP and PvE ability are expected. Guild resources are provided in order to ensure that access to critical information is readily available.

Personal initiative is expected, research anything and everything you can about your class. Take advantage of our expansive guild member base to learn from those demonstrating understanding of current game-play mechanics.

GAME-PLAY

Siege Calls and PvP:

PVP – Because we have a number of players that enjoy competitive play, we encourage anything PVP related. We as a guild understand that the better PVP player you are, that leads to a much better PVE player. Look around at the best PVE players you know. Chances are they excel at PVP as well. PVP makes you better aware of your surroundings, your survivability, and makes your reaction time that much greater.

Siege Calls are issued during periods of substantial enemy activity, such as For the Horde Raids or during our For the Alliance campaigns. We expect members who are not engaged in scheduled raiding to participate during General Siege Calls and otherwise come out to participate. During periods of extraordinary server wide fights we will issue Mandatory Siege Calls so that everyone can experience these rare, large scale battles. Ruinous intends to continue the Warhammer tradition of Open World Realm Versus Realm combat in all games that we play.
