  1. Vanguard of Deception is based in Australia! We're running the guild based around roleplaying projects and are looking keenly to expand the one based on the Imperial Military! We're small and close knit, and welcome any new comers with open arms! Our website is http://vanguardofdeception.enjin.com/ You can find my on Aeorna, Roilane, Sintharia, Beatrix, or Mykola. Maybe more alts. Just do a /who of us!
  2. Well, here I am. I'm the Guild Master of Vanguard of Deception, a guild with membership based in Australia, now located on the Begeren Colony server after the consolidation. The real question is - What is this post about? Well, I'm here to advertise Oceanic RP. Based out of Australia/New Zealand/Asia. Most of all, to let people know it EXISTS! My post here is to advertise what guilds are around on offer to my knowledge, and hopefully bring you into the fold, and build our community as a whole! At the moment, all to advertise are two guilds which exist and operate in the timezones relevant to the previously mentioned areas. Details are provided in this post! Vanguard of Deception Task Force 'Vanguard' is replenishing its numbers due to recent losses in engagements against the Republic, the Dread Masters, and the Hutt Cartel, in particular, the invasion of Corellia. Task Force 'Vanguard' is responsible for strengthening the Empire's defences in critical areas, and makes rare, devastating strikes against the enemies that surround us! Following the recent assassination of its Leader - Darth Aeorna, Lord Wrek'k ascended to lead the Task Force under his new title of 'Darth'. The Task Force now turns its attention t threats from within and unstable elements inside the Empire's ranks. The Vanguard of Deception upholds three critical values. Order, Discipline, and Obedience. Power plays and manipulation of allies is not a path one assigned to the task force takes, as it seeks only to bolster and improve the Empire's position within the war. OOC: Vanguard of Deception is an APAC based RP guild on Begeren Colony. We operate through running various projects based on themes, the mainstream ones of the guild being Sith and Military operating as part of Task Force 'Vanguard', following a recent guild reform, opportunities have arisen for other projects to be set up, such as groups opposing 'Vanguard'. We are looking currently, to expand and develop these two projects hand in hand, and later create a Mandalorian project which works in favor of the guild, and maybe oppose. We value that each member contributes to the guild, whether you have an idea for the ongoing roleplay or have an idea for a new project that you want to run with your alt and others within the guild. What we don't value is closed group roleplaying, we prefer that everyone can be involved in some way or another. We also offer some light PvE activity, including both flashpoints and operations. We work to help gear up people within the guild and help them learn to play their class, and have a lot of fun messing around while we do so, through various different means! This doesn't mean we're prone to messing around though, we know when to put on our serious faces! The three values the guild holds IC are also held OOC. This is for the purpose of reducing "drama" and squabbles, we understand issues may arise, but we prefer you to keep them private, or even bring it to the attention of an officer to be investigated and dealt with. Discipline is held in a "see it, comdemn it" practice, meaning that we don't put specific labels on things we deal with. We are also prone to taking on a new role player every now and again, teaching them the methods we use primarily to undertake roleplay within the game, as we hope that later on down the line, they'll be just as willing to do the same for others! This is done on the basis that the person who invites you to the guild will conduct your mentoring, not every officer or veteran member may be willing, but they may communicate within the guild to see if someone will, of which there rarely isn't! Each project will have its own IC rules, and your membership within the project is determined by the project leader, but overseen by Officers and myself. Contacts - Aeorna, Wrek'k Website - http://vanguardofdeception.enjin.com/ The Tenebrous Gospel The Tenebrous Gospel is a Sith Cult founded by the Sith Lord, Darth Magius, that worships the Dark Side of the Force and revere the Emperor as a god. They have also been called the "Cult of the Emperor". They believe that the Dark Side of the Force is the superior Force in the galaxy and view the Emperor as the epitome of the Dark Side's teachings. His vast power and influence in the galaxy, having lived for centuries and rebuilding the Sith Empire from the ashes of the Great Hyperspace War into the great power it currently is, has elevated him to the status of a deity in their eyes and hearts. They have dedicated their entire existence to Him in worship and servitude. They follow a strict set of values that they expect all members of their order ― and eventually, all of the Empire ― to follow. These values include, but are not limited to: unquestioning political loyalty to the Sith Empire and the Tenebrous Gospel, diligence in carrying out the Emperor's will, belief in the Emperor's ultimate divinity, and conscious contribution to the Empire's overall well-being, even if this means nothing more than helping to improve one's own homeworld or even just home city or town. They intend to spread their teachings throughout all of the Empire as an effort to unite the Sith under a single, unified cause, put an end to the cannibalistic in-fighting that has weakened the Empire, and finally bring an end to the heretical Jedi Order. OOC: The Tenebrous Gospel is a SWTOR role-playing guild on the Begeren Colony server. While the premise of the guild makes it sound exclusively for Sith characters, any character class can join as long as the character fits into the theme of the guild (i.e., Sith fanatic). There are plenty of roles for non-Sith characters to fill. We are willing to teach players the basic mechanics of role-playing, but we are only accepting applicants with prior role-playing experience for the time being until we have the numbers and quality to support and teach lesser experienced players. On off days, we may do some PvP, Flashpoints, and the occassional Operation together, but The Tenebrous Gospel is primarily a RP guild. Requirements for joining the Tenebrous Gospel include, but are not limited to: QUALITY: You're an experienced role-player or can at least form a cohesive, literate sentence that describes what your character is doing. You know all of the basic in-game commands (i.e., how to make a custom emote, RP walk, etc.), know what godmoding is and that it's a no-no, and you don't troll or disrupt immersion OOC'ly while other people are RP'ing because you're bored. MATURITY: You're not prone to create drama with other guild members, are not easily offended by crude jokes, and you can keep In-Character business separate from Out-of-Character business. You're willing to work with other guild members to create quality RP, even if it doesn't directly revolve around your own character. FLEXIBILITY: You're willing to work with the officers/guildmaster to make your character a better fit for the theme of the guild in order to advance from a Mercenary/Initiate rank, thus enhancing immersion and not causing any unnecessary strife. Great RP is created when everyone is working together. We value quality over quantity and are very, very picky about who we allow to join. OOC RULES Don't be a douche. This is a drama-free guild. Leave it at the door. This is a LGBT-friendly guild. Personal insults against gender, race, or sexual preference is not tolerated. You'll get three (3) warnings before you are kicked from the guild. IC RULES Everything the AMP covers. No Jedi or "Light-side" Sith characters allowed. We're strictly Dark Side. All heretics will be burned. Cultists should appear in the Gospel's colors (red) when attending any Gospel functions. Contacts - Magius, Anavros, Vakiri Website - http://thetenebrousgospel.enjin.com/ If there are any other APAC roleplaying guilds that wish to provide their details within this post, please contact me through Enjin with an advertisement for this thread, and I'll get you included! Hope to see more APAC people here soon!
  3. Vanguard of Deception is based mainly in the APAC region, but we're looking to set up an Operations team to compliment our roleplay. We're a fairly close knit guild, with many players being of a mature age and having families of their own. If we're not for you, I'd advise checking out http://www.begerencolony.org for a range of guilds on there
  4. <Vanguard of Deception> Guildmaster: Aeorna Officers: Zi'thros Focus: RP/Casual PvE Tidbit: Vanguard of Deception is a role playing guild based on the Sith and Imperial Military, with a primary focus on defending the Empire from within, and from its enemies, mainly the Republic and the Dread Masters. A small internal group of people within the guild dabble in PvE activities and on occasion, PvP as well. Sense of humor required! Website - http://www.vanguardofdeception.enjin.com
  5. Some brief information before some little stories, of sorts. Task Force 'Vanguard' - designated 'Vanguard of Deception' by the Republic for its use of tactics, is recruiting. It's main focus is on making a presence at weakening defensive points, pushing the line back, and very rarely offensives, of which they've proved to make lethal strikes. We are a guild currently based in the GMT+8 timezone, moving over from the Gav-Daragon APAC server with the impending APAC server doom. We're looking to recruit those who play in this time zone, and when we grow to a standard, perhaps even recruit for activities for the peak times of the Begeren Colony server! But for now...focus on our current timezone activities. Vanguard of Deception follows two themes of role-play. Sith and Imperial Military. The Sith focus on the intricate politics within the Empire, and with the Republic, along with administration, seeking out relics on the Dark side and increasing the task force's power, and its power base. Focus on study of the Dark Side is also included, amongst training. The Military is focused on training, patrols, and building bonds as a team. Separated into squads, each member of a squad is unique and specializes in a particular field, explosives, weapons, slicing? Maybe more! A project is currently ongoing to strengthen the numbers of this part of the guild, and revitalizing it so that combat, and missions are based on similar role playing mechanics to the game mechanics of Star Wars: Republic Commando! We do not accept Bounty Hunters, however, they are employed on a contract basis, for their "unique" combat skills. Should we expand our numbers sufficiently enough, we may allow for a Mandalorian section. We will be aiming to be on server and be actively making a presence as soon as possible, and will be initiating recruitment as soon as we arrive. For now, we'll only be recruiting IMPERIAL MILITARY characters, i.e. Imperial Agents and Bounty Hunters Do check back, some creative pieces to follow of a couple of battles that 'Vanguard' has been present at! Until then, I myself can be contacted on Aeorna when we transfer, and my second in command of the guild is contactable on Zi'thros!
  6. This is a very poor solution. I've been attempting to bring a strong sense of a roleplaying community back to Gav-Daragon, and while in some senses it's worked, and in more senses, it hasn't. Moving us to North American servers just won't work for what we try to do, I'd rather try to run a roleplaying guild on a single APAC PVE server. Moving us into a NA server is only going to make things harder, North America runs on a completely different time zone, and I already have a couple of members which live in America, one works a job which allows him to play during our times, another doesn't, and he suffers immensely in how much he can get involved in. So far I've enjoyed this game having come from WoW when I immigrated from the UK, and I'm also a subscriber. As it stands, I currently try to cater for members in a time zone three hours behind me, and two hours in front, this is just adding another one of those time zones I need to try and cater for, whether through having an officer who can run bits and pieces of roleplay for them, but it will still exclude them for the most part, from our main roleplaying storylines. While I appreciate you've tried to do something about the APAC situation, I feel merging into one RP-PVE server would be a better solution, since the PVPers are more than likely to go to the designated world PVP areas anyway, along with Warzones, the PVE'ers are likely to have no change, but changing to a PVE or PVP server leaves roleplayers completely uncatered for, and I'd like to think that other players would be willing to sacrifice full world PVP to have a single APAC server. I'd really like a reply to this, these are very high concerns for me, and I'm sort of glad to say now, that I've not pre-ordered the expansion, and I won't be until this issue is solved. -Aeorna - Guild Master of Shadows Reach.
  7. Shadows Reach is primarily focused on RP, so unfortunately that doesn't do so well for your Ops hopes. However, in MMOs I've been a bit of a PvE lover, and so I may be looking at running some stuff like that in the future, and a few of us do group up for some hardmodes and so on. If you'd like to go for us, throw me a whisper on Aeorna, I'll be sure to have a chat. Best of luck in your search for a new home!
  8. Oh don't you worry, I'm prepping for a few posts on the server website! I'm just waiting until things are ready on my end!
  9. Shadows Reach on Gav Daragon is focusing on Sith and Imperial Military roleplay! We're fronting a RP revival program on the server at the moment, looking to set up campaigns and such in the very near future! If you're up for a chat, you can find me on Aeorna most often, on the previously mentioned server. You can also get in contact via our website at http://www.shadowsreach.enjin.com
  10. It's called Shadows Reach. I've been onto the server forums both on here and the enjin website, (makes sense, since our own website is based on Enjin - http://www.shadowsreach.enjin.com) It's based around a wide range of Imperial Role Play, mainly on the Sith and Imperial Military.
  11. Hi! I've just started a RP guild on the Imperial Side not a fortnight ago! If you do play Imperial side, throw me a whisper if you want in on any RP!
  12. As said above, Gav Daragon needs its Role players back! It's my understanding that there was a community on this server a while back, and after moving to this game after a month of playing it, I've started up a new role playing guild to find next to no role players - so I've decided to do something about it! Beginning today, I'm beginning a RP Revival project here, on Gav Daragon, not only to try and bring back to role players that may have started here, but to bring all of the Oceanic RP Community here, away from both EU and America servers! Currently, Gav Daragon has a cantina night on a sunday night, where the role players that do exist travel to Nar Shaddaa's Slippery Slopes cantina, giving characters a chance to socialize and get to know a few others. Failing that if your character isn't the cantina type (like my own!) then it's often not hard to find yourself in the Sith Sanctum or at the Imperial Fleet talking strategy and current studies! So...what else is on offer? Well, firstly, as mentioned before I've just started up my own role playing guild, which has a focus on Imperial Military and Sith dealings! This can range from looking for an artifact to a small campaign across a few planets, or even one planet! Secondly, once things liven up a bit more, I'm personally planning a server wide campaign. "But that's only for the military people!" they say! I say no! There'll be many elements to the campaign that will allow everyone to contribute! The Imperial Reclamation Service may have something to say in this campaign, too! You Republic lot may finally see a nice jump on an offensive note - we'll see! A channel you may want to join, should you come to Gav Daragon, as a roleplayer! /cjoin LFRP Specially made for organizing RP, the discussion of RP, so on and so forth! Want to find out more? I'm on most evenings, feel free to roll a toon over here for a chat! Not only with myself, but I'm sure plenty of others will be around too! (My main's name is Aeorna!) Anyhow, this project won't see to itself on the forums, time for action! Let's see what you make of it!
