Hey guys and gals, it's ol' Mr.Ixolite again.
First Spotlight of the new year belongs to Anathema.
They are an exciting European guild of experienced and mature players that will be going on the FFA PvP server.

sjOver:

The people of Anathema are first and foremost all friends... we emphasize on maturity, dedication, activity, humor, loyalty, respect and honor.
...We're a small guild compared to many other guilds out there, but as I've already mentioned, we only recruit real quality. So basically this is a choice we've made. We'd rather do it right the first time

I'm speaking to sjOver, co-leader of Anathema.

Hey guys and gals, it's ol' Mr.Ixolite again.
When we started Spotlighting guilds way back eight months ago, we were under the impression that the game would be out, well, already. Alot has changed since and many guilds have changed with them. As many guilds are a living and breathing community organism, you can't expect it to remain constant. So, we will be looking at new spotlights from some of my favorite old guilds and see what's new.
First up are the totally awesome triple Leaders of the Rising Arms.

Lore is not something that you can so flippantly toy with and manipulate. On the flip side, we have to understand we're talking about the gaming industry, so it is with some reservation that certain liberties have to be taken.

"It is a constant focus for us to make this ['Age of Conan'] right, but sometimes we need to bend some borders, even take the lore and update it somewhat to make it fit better with gameplay."

Funcom Product Director, Jørgen Tharaldsen, took some time out of his very busy schedule to explain in a Mitra's Method exclusive what measures are being taken to ensure a "true to Conan" experience in the much anticipated MMORPG 'Age of Conan'.

Another week, another Guild Spotlight! This is THE place for guilds to show us what they've got, why they are cool and why YOU should join them.
Mr.Ixolite will be grilling guild leaders on a weekly basis, and this week our featured guild are the Devine Messengers.

The people of our guild vary greatly. We have teenagers and we have members in their forties and everyone gets along like they have known each other for years and we have only been together a few months. Many of our members, like myself, love to socialize and that brings everyone together and has built strong relationships that are vital to an idle guild waiting for a title to be released.

I am speaking to Divine Messenger, leader of the Divine Messengers.

Funcom, as it is currently evident, has listened to their beta testers very seriously because their beta testers have been very serious with their feedback...

"Not listening to experienced beta testers' initial reactions is the most dangerous thing to do." - Gaute Godager, 'Letter from the Game Director'

This fortnight, it's about beta, serious testing, serious testers, and the road to March 25, 2008.

Another week, another Guild Spotlight! This is THE place for guilds to show us what they've got, why they are cool and why YOU should join them.
Mr.Ixolite will be grilling guild leaders on a weekly basis, and this week our featured guild is the Durmanhoth Clan.

All in all though, we try and choose a theme in a game we can stick with and that fits so we can be more a part of the game instead of just a clan IN a game. Also, we always have some form of AWARDS and HONORS that people can achieve and display with pride. Then the biggest thing we have had since 1993 when DC started is a very special small team o the best of the best. It has been called "The Dreads", "Royal Guard", "Praetorians" and a few others, it always means the same thing, THE BEST.

I am speaking to guild leader Hardware.
