GOODBYE POST
Greetings fellow Alorians and loyal guildmates from ER! As a bringer of usually positive news, unfortunately today I can say with the greatest regret that ER has decided that it has come full circle to what appears as an ending of sorts. It wasn’t an easy decision amongst oficers, and many alternatives were already taken into consideration. We as a guild have persevered through Elites true to our name, terrible economies, and unreachable Arcane items. Throughout time, we’ve formed many bonds of friendships amongst ourselves as well as with other guilds.
Due to our high standards of recruitment followed by less than true Elite maps to actually farm after, member activity has been on a steady decline leaving few active players online at any given time and parties were exceptionally difficult to form. Additionally, many life changes as well as personal choices within the game or in real life have taken a toll on even our oldest Veterans within the guild. If they haven’t already retired, certainly seeing a lack of people to run with would push them to do so.
Fret not, we have a contingency plan! It wasn’t an easy one, but what we thought would be best and most fair to our still active players would to be a guild merge. I know, “Why not just rebuild our guild with new members” you say? Well, in a way we are! Only that it’s a reverse way of thinking and we would be the new members to another guild! After thoughtful searching, we have selected Enigmatic for our new home as their philosophy of farming is most reflective of our own. They have been more than kind to welcome us all with open arms! Positions are still being discussed to aid in the smoothest hiatus of our guild. It is our hope that every member, recruiter, and officer will join in with our relocation such that we can form full parties at any given time again.
Now that that’s out of the way, it wouldn’t be right not to have a few special mentions about the leaders and history of our guild! ER was originally founded by Ruff for one basic reason: To run Elite mode where most other players had avoided because it was next to impossible. Alrisaia took over 6 months after and basically started the Bible on farming elites. I still remember her great blender technique! Queenotshade for taking over and running many successful contests! Extrapayah for running the guild and hosting challenges! Trollkille for managing and making tough decisions during our darkest days. Although never a guild master, Kalizz proved to be DEV level who finished writing that Elite Bible and made us farm it everyday for a month. Evidence that ER will live on forever will be through the Elite Journeyman vanity as well as Elite Runner Chests.
ER coming full circle is far from being the end. If anything it is the start of something new and if running the hardest maps has taught us anything, it’s to always keep evolving and adapting to even the greatest challenges.
Below follows the old and now outdated guild thread information:
Hello Arlorians!
We are Elite Runners!
Official Logo by Ninthplague
This is the official thread of Arcane Legends <Elite Runners>. Elite runners are around since April 2013. So, you are joining a stable community that survived several mass exoduses including officers. If you are interested to learn the history of our guild a little bit, here are links to our previous threads:

Thread's Outline
- About Us
- Recruitment Information
- Bulletin Board
Vision
We are stewards of the Arcane Legends, ushering players who have reached the level cap into the elite and/or end-game territory, helping them to learn end game content, and preparing them for what lies ahead.
Officers
Officers are trainers and are committed to helping others achieve their in-game goals and teach them everything we know. Officers are supposed to lead runs and organize parties for the members.
Recruiters
Consider to join if
- You like to run elite/endgame maps
- It is hard for you to find a party to run elite/endgame maps
- You enjoy the social aspect of the game and you like to communicate with other people.
- You are capped and you fulfill the criteria written on requirements sheet/table.
- You have reasonable gear to run elite/endgame maps.
- You are patient and know what to do in the game if you can't get a party right now.
- You speak at least basic English, although our members cover many languages, including, but not limited to, Spanish, Korean, Malay, Indonesian, Tagalog, Italian, French, Russian, Croatian, Czech…
We may not be the right guild for you if
- You want to join only because of some hard elite APs.
- You don't like to listen to well-meant advice, particularly regarding your build and skill use.
- You want to join with one of your alts and hop between guilds. We value loyalty very much.
- You are low level and constantly ask for help to level up.
- You are inactive in PvE and only require party for PvP.
- You think that fancy gear makes you a better player.
- You use guild chat for excessive trading, merch up/down, boasting, and other irrelevant outbursts.
- You like to bring drama or trashtalk within guild chat.
- You like to scam.
Important Notes
- Plea
- Even though officers and recruiters are committed to help you, but please remember that we're also human being behind the computer/phone, we might be down or not at the happiest moment in life, so please be considerate of us and don't spam with unnecessary private message, friend requests, or blind invites.
- We enjoy very low fluctuation of members. We do not like guild-hoppers and so please do not join us if you only need some hard-core elite APs. This will be quickly recognized and your calls for runs may be ignored. We put most of our efforts into loyal members. Also, although our presence in PvP is increasing, we are still primarily PvE guild. If you are a PvPer, you are likely to find a party for it, however this is not a rule. If you leave our guild, don't expect us to take you back easily. We usually give a second chance, but we are reluctant to give you the third or fourth chance. We invest lots of time and pots into every member.
Partying Policy
- As a default, ankh is mandatory in a party, especially on hard maps, hard pulls, and hard bosses. If you don't have ankhs, you have to inform your party before running a map!
- Please refrain from moving between parties in the middle of running a map
- In case of running energy-based events, please don't be picky with what boss is spawned
PvP Code of Conduct
Given that couple of good PvPers joined our guild recently, we are not ignoring PvP world anymore. We want to provide our members with additional fun and fair PvP clash.
- No ganging. Of course killing the last player in a fair 5 vs 5 battle is not considered ganging.
- No trash talking. Remember that you represent Elite Runners in PvP and that any trash talk may be punished by booting you from the guild.
- Respect every member in the PvP room even if he is an opponent. Kill, but don't humiliate the enemy.
- Wear the guild title all the time.
- You may attack or get attacked by guild member if he is on enemy side. If you don't want to fight your guildie or your friend, leave the session, don't block the spot.
- We are not paranoid about your KDR. Fight for fun.
Guild Battleground Policy
- Elite Runners will not routinely actively send challenges
- Elite Runners will try to always accept any wagerless challenges
- After accepting challenge, participants will be decided by first come first served policy, taking classes combination as a main consideration, the ratio will be either 1:1:1, or 2:1:2 (warrior:rogue:sorcerer), or any close enough ratio
- For actively sending challenge or accepting wagered challenge, a team coordinator can submit application to guildmaster/temporary guild master, with team members and wager prepared beforehand
- Guild will pay the cost of sending active challenge no more than once a day, more than that, team coordinator will have to provide all the cost
We have official LINE group for members!
