Keepers of the peace (Guild idea, need feedback)

[Grisch]

I'm thinking of starting a new guild to fill the gap for those who want a 'good guy' horde guild. I might be wrong, but there don't seem to be many options at current for this.

My aim is to have a guild that believes that peacefull co-existence between horde and alliance, should be possible.

Now, I realise this sounds ridiculous on a PvP server, but the point is to create dynamic role-playing, motion and conflict (conflict in a good way leading to more roleplaying as opposed to OOC conflict).

The guild would be focused on the two aspects that make the server great Rp and PvP. PvP you ask? How do peacefull, tree-hugging, hippies with tusks get involved in PvP?

Well, we believe that the only thing stopping peace is the current minority of trouble-makers that seek war and chaos. We would see it as our goal to terminate these individuals as efficiently as possible.

Also, the status-quo has to be gently phased out untill the leaders can sort themselves out. Lands and interests need to be protected. The battle for Warsong Gulch, and others like it, would need to continue as we still need our resources. There is no point to allowing the horde to be crushed by our enemies before we make peace. So yes, we will see it as our duty to get out there and defend ourselves and other horde.

Roleplaying wise, we/I would like the guild to facilitate more Alliance/Horde interaction. Peace-talks, meetings etc. (which of course offer brilliant opportunities to interupted by the more warlike folks, leading to more RP ... of the PvP variety... etc.)

--------

I also don't want us to be another zerg-recruiter. Entry and advancement in the guild will require quests and other tests of self. All Roleplaying in nature. Invitation only if possible.

Anyway, this is the current idea in my head.

I'd appreciate any comments from others on whether they feel a guild like this has a place right now. What they could/would contribute to the community, and any other suggestions you can think of.

Oh, lastly, the name 'Keepers of Peace' is NOT the name of the guild, simply the title of the thread. The name is currently in flux.

Though it's not for me, I salute your efforts. I think a variety of guild attitudes just gives us more to interact with, and play off each other.

Of course, Xerath is going to have to consider you cowards, and will think you probably should be ashamed of yourself.

Sounds like a cool idea - a lot of WOW players see things in terms of black and white and accept the storylines Blizz feeds them without question. Sometimes it's fun to play the dutiful soldier that always does what they are commanded to do. However, most people in the real world see things much more in terms of shades of grey than black and white. So it will probably be a difficult concept to sell, but it's doable and should make for an interesting guild.

Sounds like something that Zust would like.

But for Longcat... naw. He'd end up killing someone with a bottle if he had dinner with some Alliance. Too prone to attacking them even when not properly equiped.

Bah, peace is an excuse to let the weak reproduce.

((Sounds like a fun and challenging idea. You could also have treaties with like minded guilds on the Alliance side. Good stuff…))

I remember my eq days on team pvp, there was a cross faction guild that was dedicated to stopping all hostilities and promoting peace and cooperation. They received some flak for it, but they did gain some ground.
