A New Chapter

After several days of talking with the officers of Sin and the Emperor and Officers of Via Tyrannum I am pleased to announce that we will be officially joining forces. As Sin grew larger from a dream of a great place to play into a legitimately competitive force in PvE and PvP progression, it became a lot for a one man administrative show to handle, as you can see from the drama and whispers I am subjected to.


A merger with VT allows us many new options in the ability for member to accomplish their personal and social goals. Via Tyrannum has multiple hard mode raids through KP and EV, and Sin's hard mode and late night raids will have a new source of members to draw from as well as new opportunities for raiders to find times and groups that suit their needs.

Casual members will find there are always players on with whom to PvP, RP, socialize, or do hard modes. With our strength of mature, adult members our newly reforged guild is no doubt one of the largest and most professional on the server.

Swarley and I have both played MMOs for over a decade and were very aware of the potential pitfalls and hazards in uniting under a common banner, and spoke at length (for hours) on how to avoid these and make an equitable arrangement that is to everyone's benefit.

Swarley and I will function as co-leaders, and their will be a council of six officers, three of whom will be selected by each of us. Each council member will have two lieutenants or sub-officers as well. For those of you who may be concerned about the badges you earned in Sin, don't be: Zode will maintain control over member notes and will continue to update each persons badges as they reach milestones for their characters as well as offering this opportunity to current members of VT. Swarley was also impressed by my ability to conduct fair and efficient business and raise money and materials for the guild bank and has appointed me treasurer.

I'm pleased to announce several excellent Sin members have already bravely made the transition: Vampuir and Aleesi, as officers who can invite you to the guild whenever you, the reader, are ready. As well as Jecht, Jezter, and several more excellent players. I look forward to seeing each of you as a strong member once more. For the time being my alt Skeletonwitch is holding my position of High Warlord in VT while Zode wraps up business in Sin and lets everyone know our course of action before I appoint Sin's bank character, Beth, to the GM position.

Please check out viatyrannum.com and consider checking out the forums. I was also very pleased with Swarley's respect for the culture of positivity, professionalism, and respect for other players and our guild chat will continue to have a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry, sexism, homophobia, and other rude, crass, profane and inappropriate speech.

Please feel free to shed your Sin cocoon and blossom into a lithe young butterfly of a guild: simply whisper Aleesi, Vampuir, Swarley, Mellas, Ziyal, Skeletonwitch, Zode, or another officer and let them know you are a member of Sin ready to be invited.

This is a very exciting time for us all, but it is one of change, and MMO players are well known to hate and fear change ;) if you have any concerns please feel free to comment here or send me an email or in-game mail. This decision was not made lightly but I believe if given a chance we will find new allies and victories within our reach.
