To be honest I dont want a guild of all "good" people. Otherwise it is just SWG all over again. You are either the light or the dark side. I hate that in EQ. I think this is where traits should come in to play. You can still be spiteful, bitter, and show no mercy, but still fight to save Norrath from the tyrant. It divides people up and sadly the only way to stop this divide is to defect to our home guild city of Qeynos.

Some concerns that this places for us friends to be able to group together are:

Raids affecting their faction in FP
The lack of being able to participate with Guild Status Points.
Ability to be in our guild home city.


Raids are not in play yet, but we are scrambling to complete city tasks in order for our guild status to raise. We need to be level 3 (or 5?) in order for our name to be seen. We have 1 yellow into level 1! At this rate it will be over several months before we achieve our goal. I am very irritated that our evil members are unable to contribute to our guild level because of this set standard that was placed by the devs. I want our evil players to be as much a part of ES as possible, but it looks like defecting may be the only way at this point .

It really boils down to what you feel the purpose of the guild is, and what your purpose in the guild is.

If Epic Shadows is merely a "social club" where old friends are gathering to chat and hang out while we play, and a way for people to share info on quests, tradeskills, groups, zones, etc... then it really doesn't matter whether you play good or evil. You can accomplish this either way.

If Epic Shadows is meant to be a "raiding guild", or if our main concern is working toward building Guild Status and Points, then consolidating everyone on one side of the fence is critical, since the "evil minority" cannot contribute toward that end.

Personally, I think ES is the former and not the latter. We aren't anywhere near a raiding guild yet. Right now everyone is playing just to learn the game and have fun. There's no reason that people can't do that in Freeport as well as Qeynos. Sure, the Freeport folks can't help with guild status, but is that honestly a major concern?

I think it should be a personal choice where you want to play. If you're evil and loving it - great. If you feel left out because you can't group witht he "cool people" in Qeynos... then maybe it's time to reroll!
