I could just as easily say *bump* but for those looking for a guild. I'll simply share my experience so far.
I joined Penumbral when they transferred to the server. Yet I was talking with them a little bit before they made the switch. I have been an official member for about 2 months now. This guild has impressed me over the many others I have been apart of over the years. In this game and out of it. The leadership takes a great deal of care of its members and when you have something to say they listen. They spend a great deal of time working on activities and plots for the guild. More so then even I did when I was both GM and officer at any point in time. Which is saying a lot because I can drift into workaholic territory often.
The activity of the members has also surprised me. I have never been in a situation where nearly all the members of a guild are open to having you just come on into personal rp. Getting involved has never been easier. Which sometimes I have had more rp going on and I am involved in then I have in years. The rp prospects are there for the taking if you really want to feel part of something. Which has made me very inspired to roleplay full time again. They turned this slightly grouchy not very inspired to create old roleplayer into a guy who just won't stop creating rp for himself and other people again. Something I thought was just -gone-.
I couldn't stamp more my seal off approval for Penumbral. Even with all the rp. They out do themselves by hosting regular PVP nights and PVE raids that your more then welcome to become a part of. A friend of mine started a super casual late night raid group for Penumbral. The next day the officer and raid leader of the PVE raids that were all ready established began to help and offer assistance in both gearing and learning the fights for the new group. That is a perfect example of how awesome and helpful this guild is. Because all of them are like that. I finally have a home of like minded people who just want to enjoy the game. RP, PVE, PVP anything goes and we do it right by having fun.
