Souls of the Damned has seen a lot of turmoil over the last 3 months or so. To be very honest, Souls has seen much strife ever since large-scale raiding was introduced to the guild during the summer of 2006. But the turmoil of recent months has been the worst by far, and required a radical solution. And that ultimate solution was for the raiders of the guild to depart. Souls has scaled it's operations back and now rarely raids 10-man content, and has phased out 25-man content altogether. The guild has been re-focused on old tenets that were put in place when the guild was created in February of 2005. Those tenets are:

-to have fun

-to enjoy each other's company, for it's own sake, without the need to actually *do* anything

-to never allow progression or raiding to destroy our atmosphere or philosophies

-to severely limit who gains admission to the guild, especially children and asshats, and to kick anyone from these two groups should their true colors shine

-to maintain a small roster, so that each person can feel special, and needed, and so that members can know each other better without getting lost in a sea of guildies

-to try and find out how much alcohol can be consumed before typing becomes an epic fail

Each one of these beliefs was firmly in place when I joined the guild in the summer of 2005. As time moved forward, and the desire to raid and see more content took over, we became lax on these beliefs. The door to what we found was "acceptable behavior and practices" became ever-wider, in order to grow our roster to facilitate raiding. It was such a gradual thing, that most of us, myself included, did not notice it right away. But in the here and now, it is painfully obvious that Souls must return to these old ways in order to continue as one of the oldest original guilds in the game. We may, one day, resume regular raiding. But when and if that happens, it will more than likely be reserved to weekends only in order to preserve the integrity of the guild.

Thank you for your attention.

Yar!

We are currently recruiting selectively. We do have some raid spots open as we delve further into 25-man content. As a casual raiding guild we are also open to really cool people that want to hang out and have fun.

If you are interested in becoming a member please fill out the application and the officers will review and have an answer within 48 hours.

Thank you for your interest in Souls!!

Go Tit!
