Hi Pheonix!
I am thinking of joining, supposing you want me. My Sorc and Rogue do meet the criteria, Warrior only has ~20k kills and 5800 health without pet. All lv41.
The thing is, I want to discuss how the guild works, and your thread is probably not a good place for that ;-) I would appreciate if someone could PM me on forums, as that allows offline access and longer sentences.
Points that are of particular interest:
1. What is the situation for free players (~5 free plat a month if lucky)? Is there even a point in joining? I can understand that wealthy players prefer running with other wealthy, the question is, how many poor players do you have?
2. How many people are online? Is everyone soloing Jarl/KM3 or are elite runs frequent? I don't PvP at all.
3. Are low-level farming alts allowed to join as well? (This is less important if the guild is mostly alive)
In any case, the fact that I consider joining you is the biggest compliment I can think of :vwub:
Serancha

Yah, we are pretty hardcore over here lol. Madnex got his skills from a rap master monk in the mountains of Malaysia. I learned mine from silently stalking Madnex for the last several months.

That's part of the reason I love this guild. I would hate it if we were really concerned with our position on the lb. We have a great group of friendly players that are down to earth. I would hate to change this dynamic just to see our name on a list. Glad to have you as GM Sera.

08-19-2014, 01:38 PM
End game pvp is a joke. The only decent match we found in 3 hours last night was ended right after it got going by yet another free flagger. The rest? Hopeless. Apparently you're not supposed to kill people in pvp anymore. People wonder why we allow killing guildies....it's because they're the only ones willing to actually play the game.

Organized pvp...eew. You weren't around for season 2/3 when all you had to do was join a map and start fighting. Rav and I would pvp all night and never have to search for a room. There was none of this "it's got to be fair and evenly matched and you can't hit untul we're ready" crap. This new childish pvp stuff is so damn annoying. Waiting half an hour while the other team calls in 3 more arcane rings becauae thhey never kearned how to play their characters....totally bogus.

Activity is low everywhere these days. I have over 300 friends (non-guild) and only 3 were online earlier. I can't blame anyone for being inactive at this point. In any case, I know you were getting yourself sorted before coming in, so your spot is here whenever you are ready.

The only good thing about the top guild listing was the breakdown of the stats for each guild, so we could see our progress over time in various areas. Is anyone else really disappointed that they're slowly shutting this down, with the posts being late frequently and now not being put up at all?
With the game being so dead and new content so slow coming out, one would think STS would keep up with one of the only things left to provide a focus to players.

I'm so proud to be a member of this guild. There is a level of maturity not often encountered online (or even offline) that's just so refreshing.
School, work and exercising is eating up all of my time, so I am not able to be online very often, but I'm still rooting for you all in the tournament! Good Luck!

Changed post on re-reading:
It sounds like you're saying that you share a character. Even if that wasn't against ToS, we want to know who the people are that are in our family. Having multiple people running one toon is totally uncool.
Once someone is booted, they are not allowed back, on any character. We have methods that we use to track that kind of thing, ensuring a high quality, drama-free environment for our members.
This is also an adult guild.

We've got a problem....I have 7m burning a hole in my pocket..... That must mean it is time for another Kalizzaa challenge!
I am hoping to post details tomorrow. If things go according to plan, I hope to kick off the fun Friday.
So, don't be a spectator for another challenge, join me and many other guilds in keeping these elite bosses on their heels.
This will be a quickie contest.... Probably 7 days since I don't want to interfere with the Halloween event.
I hope my friends in Pheonix will join in the fun. Can't wait to go head to head.... Rather, guild to guild.
PvE'ers can be both competitive and civilized! 7 day elite flash mob....FTW!

Recently we have had a few members joining who have formerly been in certain pvp guilds.
I would like to make it clear to everyone that Pheonix has absolutely no opinion about Karma OR Magnum or any associated guilds. We will not tolerate trash talking in our guild, about anyone or any guild. If you are joining Pheonix, you need to understand that we are neutral, drama free, and our guild chat is a positive environment. Leave your old attitudes at the door, and stop looking at guild names in pvp.
Also, we expect members to be self-reliant. Spamming "join" every 45 seconds only annoys people and stresses the other members out. We are helpful and if we are available we do join within reason. Asking for assistance occasionally is fine, but if you have to ask for backup every time you enter pvp, you need to learn some skills.
People who spam chat with help requests constantly (pvp or otherwise), or trash talk other guilds / other players will not be tolerated here. If this is you please find another guild and leave us out of it.
Thank you.

Thanks to all who joined in the Kalizza halloween event.
The generous participation grant has been put in to fund Uncle Rav's weekly raffle. Since those who entered the event and the raffle hounds are pretty much the same folks, I figured this was the best way to distribute it.

Ah. You don't have enough posts yet for forum PM's.
The stat requirements are easy to meet and don't require expensive gear. For that reason we are strict on that. The pve kills we can be a bit flexible on, so if the rest is met and they are willing to work on getting them up. You can message any recruiter or officer in game, (or me, a bit later today) to talk to someone about what is needed to get up to spec.
Thanks.

Ok, thanks. And no, def not enough posts yet, forum mod just added me this week. 1 of my 3 works a ton but plays everyday, I try and help her level when I can. Think shes lvl 18 atm, but does log and play daily. Me and the other run maps constantly, always lookin for some action. If the 3rd is a issue mabye u have a recommendation for a builder guild we can hit up? I know everyone has requirements, ive been in major money based alliances in other games, so I get that everyone has a time and money investment to protect. But at the same time giving a shot to someone who will ultimately be a great guildie to me is what mmo games are all about. Ill check into her stats and see what I need to do on my end to get her closer to guidelines and let ya know. Thanks again for responding

Pheonix is an end game guild, so level 40/41 (mostly 41) experienced players and their alts only. Sounds like you and your friends need some more experience before coming into this type of guild. I saw another post you made saying you're only level 26. It's possible to meet requirements for Pheonix below 40 if you try, but not at that low a level. Sorry.
For builds it depends on class. In general:
Mage: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Clock, Shield (wind for speed mages)
Rogue: Aim, Nox, Pierce, and veil, traps or razor depending on your style.
Warrior: Vengeful Blood, Horn of Renew, Skyward Smash, Chest Splitter
There's a lot of possible variations for each depending on what you're doing, but those are the basics. All classes should have passive might maxed. Rogue and Mage should always max knowledge and agility as well. Warrior I would do the same for a start, but this can be adapted to suit gear / style later on.

A post on CU's thread reminded me to look this up. The original Pheonix was created 2 years and 2 days ago.
Of course the current version has evolved into a vastly different guild than it was back then, but our roots were formed at that time. As you can see, thanks to H2N's ever-fantastic facts (we miss you H2N!) we were only ever "not" a guild for 16 seconds. So happy slightly-belated 2 years, my lovelies!
If you're interested in Pheonix's history:
1) original Pheonix created at 20121120-184932 GMT
2) original Pheonix disbanded at 20130607-110633 GMT
3) current Pheonix created at 20130607-110649 GMT

Pheonix has new entry requirements for 2015. They are viewable on the first post of this thread, as well as at pheonixguild.com.
All recruiters and officers are asked to take note of these changes, as are current members and those wishing to join the guild. All requirements can be met using legendary (non-imbued) gear, but it has to be good legendary. This guild is dedicated to excellence, and we strive to keep it.

Same with us....we had probably two dozen players leave in the past 24 hours with no explanation.
I'm now taking a hardcore line on recruits. In order to make it when I am the officer in charge, you must run with me in Tombs, Jagged Trail and other select maps and feel the full weight of Kali pulls.
If I can't pound you into the ground, burn off all your ankh and make you feel totally overwhelmed, then perhaps you make the cut....maybe.
I agree, I'm really fed up with these guild hoppers. We want stability....never would have suspected that so many opportunists would want to join elite farming guilds for unprofitable events.
I want to do some training with some of your folks and show you some new pulls we've come up with. Lots of fun! We should do some cross guild work soon. Things are already getting slow in the tombs, and I'm looking for victims these days.

Got a little ways to go. You can get in touch once you meet requirements. The 50k pve is necessary, since we need members who have a decent amount of game experience and knowledge.

Thanks to Ravvy and the Pheonix staff for holding down the fort while I'm in RL limbo. Nice job, my lovelies. The guild log is looking nice and productive!

Well i'm a mage so it will be to hard for me. But since he's fully buffed in this ScreenShot i'm pretty sure there are people who can kill him :)
Serancha

Ravvy could. It would just take 3 days - fatty vs fatty. Bring vodka. Besides, those are buffed stats which are like a guy putting a sock in his jeans....or a girl padding her bra. ;)
