When did your guild come into existence? SGB has been around on Bristlebane since October of 99 and is the Oldest standing guild on the server.

Do you have a website dedicated for your guild? www.sylvergryphonbrotherhood.com

How many members do you have in your guild? We have about 75-80 regularly active members and about 30-45 active on occasion.

What kind of ranking system do you have? Our guild promotes due completely on loyalty to guild and willingness to help others. If you are not willing to put yourself out there for others, then you are not leadership team material.

What are your current recruiting goals? We recruit those that take the initiative to post an app on our website and are ready to get together with other guild members and are wanting to join for progression and groups not for a guild hall portal.

Does your guild have a 'charter' and other rules that you abide by to help hold the team together? As long as you play with respect to your guild mates you are free to do as you will. Biggest things are keeping tag up at all times and if you dont plan to help others out, dont expect help from us. We are a family and families help each other.

What are some benefits that your guild offers that other guilds don't? Our guild offers a fun family environment as well as good progression raiding and gear trips. We spend a lot of time in Theater of Blood and are always working on flagging missions for other guildies.

Does your guild exist in other games? there are SGB braches in EQII and SWG as well as EQ.

What type of guild do you have, ie: family, casual raiders, hardcore raider,etc.? Our guild has acheived a good mix of family and raiding. We raid 2 nights a week every week and have certain raids that we raid once or twice a month. We also enjoy just going out as a family and knocking stuff around and having a good time. We have parties for holidays and special occasions and every once and a while will have little guild events in arena or lower lvl zones.

What content are you currently working on in the game? We are currently pushing Theater of Blood and VT. We also have a member currently running volkara raids for DoN progression.

Is role playing an important aspect for your guild? Not really, we prefer to be able to be ourselves and joke and have a good time.

Can you go through some of your great battles and quests you've conquered as a guild? Our biggest conquest at this time would have to be taking out one of the Theater of Blood mini nameds (Mage) with only 12 people when two weeks before we couldnt do it with 30. All of our members are getting stronger and learning the raiding aspects alot more. We have also taken out many 1.5 mobs and are continuing to do so on a regular basis. We have done Jailor raids on a number of occasions..

What is the most exciting event you can recall with your guild. Something that makes you think back and say to yourself, "This is why I play this game..." Our first ToB named kill. We had a little help from our friends in Club Fu, and took out Sir Savagery for our MT and he got the breastplate. Everyone was very happy and I personally started to cry lol. Was an emotional event and we were grateful for the help we had gotten. It had been our first bp/leg drop for anyone in the guild.

What has been the best expansion for the guild? I would have to say it is about even with PoR and TSS. Both of those expansions have assisted us in gear and items that we needed to become the force we are now.

What advice might you give to people just starting out with a new guild or planning to start one? Basically, the best advice I can think to give is dont let everything stress you out. Members will come and go, some will have become friends. Take that with a grain of salt and just remember this is a game. As soon as it becomes more than a game, then it loses all fun and becomes a job.

What makes your guild unique? We are unique because we have mastered what most guilds cannot. We have remained a combination family/raiding guild which a lot of people have said was impossible. We help each other all the time and when it comes raiding time people are there and ready to go even though raiding is not required. People WANT to raid with us and that is the key to a family/raid guild.
