Member Posts: 4
We are a PVP centric guild with a long history in gaming. For GW2 we will have a strong PVP Focus. LotD was founded in 1995 and has been a major force in multiple games over the years including Ultima Online, Shadowbane, Fury, Age of Conan, Warhammer, Aion, Rift and many others. The guild is a mixture of quality hardcore and casual killers whom we have retained over the past 16 years. Lords of the Dead has garnered respect for our successful history of PvP in every game we’ve played.
Recruitment:
Applications are being taken at our site www.lotd.org . You're welcome to register and participate in our forums. If you are serious about joining us for GW2, you can also become familiar with our bylaws and how we operate.
Recruitment Rundown
We are primarily a PvP Guild, and as such PvP is the main focus of our activities. The character of our members is important to us. Our ideal candidates are mature (18+) players who can be part of a strong community. We have no desire for drama or trolls. We set our standards high and hold everyone in our guild to them.
We are looking for players who will be active. We respect that our members have personal lives and their time is precious. We are looking for players who can commit at least 20 hours/week most of the time. We will schedule various PvP and other game related events each week. Attendance to all these events is not mandatory, but participation in such Guild events is a big part of being in LotD.
Why Choose LotD?
We are very selective with membership screening, but not elitist. We give everyone worthy a fair chance to prove that they belong in the guild and that they can contribute to the guild’s success. Successful applicants are those who are dedicated, deadly, and dominant on the battlefield

Comments
I have the honor of playing with LOTD and have to say you would be sorely challenged to find a more proffessional, organized and efficient group of pvp oriented gamers. They have over the years adapted instead of stagnating and worked hard to insure that they have maintained good quality control over their over-all identity. It's because of this that motivates me knowing that I have a great guild of people to fall back and fight side by side with against any and all comers in any game. Hail Lords of the Dead !
having fought against LotD in AoC i can attest to their organization and skill. Look forward to rolling with them in GW2

Can't wait to join LotD in this game; they always bring a solid team.
Can't wait to game with LotD. Another game to dominate!!!
I am heading up LotD's SPvP operation. We won't be joining forces with our WvW counterparts but focusing exclusively on the competition facing us in the arena's.
We've ran very successful SPvP chapters in Fury, WoW, WAR, GW1, and CoX as well as a variety of FPS clans. If anyone is looking to focus only on PvP, then visit our site and sign up and mention my name. We give all qualified gamers a shot, it is up to you what you do with it.
Man I can't wait to own With LOTD, gonna be so much fun.

No history for Darkfall?
Or am I confusing Lords of Death with you..?
Hey Sick,
Yeah, we ran LotD unofficially on the EU server and then started our real effort on the US server. We worked with SiN primarily and then added some other guilds (Grief was one) to our alliance down on Cairn. I don't recall your name, but Grief was a good ally for a while, though they were kinda regulated to second tier guild in our alliance with Sorcon(LotD) and SIN's leadership mostly running things.
We had Enya, Niir, Sorcon, Valor, Koribundar, Kotoll... a ton of other newer LotD peeps.
Good to see an old ally here though. Check us out if you need a landing place for GW2.
Lords of the Dead founded Cairnivore Alliance on the US Server. On EU we had a handful of players and started a smurf guild.
Lords of Death were pretty good on EU but didn't want to give up their exploited characters to start over on US.
LotD waged some massive wars against the mainland on US and after crushing the other alliances, we started the NEW guild that served as a safe haven for new players under the protection of the Cairnivore Alliance. We held our originial Cities until our guild left the game. There is too much history to go through here, but you can catch us on TS sometime and chat about old times.
Here is a nice little Countdown Clock to the releases:
