Soulbound is a roleplaying guild.  Our family believes in supporting the roleplaying environment in our realm.  As our guild leader, my philosophy on roleplaying may differ a bit from some of the "heavy" roleplaying guilds on Ravenholdt.  We are a moderate roleplaying guild.  Though some members may practice a heavier style of roleplay in our family, it is not required.  What is the difference between a light, moderate and heavy RP guild?  I believe a light RP guild allows both non-RP players and RP players to coexist within one family; therefore, we are not light.  I believe that a heavy RP guild has an overall story deep rooted in lore with which members are expected to participate.  Heavy RP guilds also expect all members to have a detailed history and story associated with their characters.  Though we encourage a deep story, it is not required for our members.  And, our family does not have an overarching story.  Therefore, we are not a heavy RP guild.  We fall somewhere in the middle.  We expect all members to remain in character and expect them to follow general RP etiquette.   We also support those who are new to RP and hope to grow the RP community. 

I want our family to be a welcoming place for those who are interested in learning more about roleplaying and "testing the RP waters" among some veteran RP players.  Therefore, many RP newbies that would get turned away from the heavy RP guilds on our server will find a warm, welcoming home among our family.  However, we still expect those who are new to RP to dedicate themselves to learning the art and expect them to try hard to stay in character at all times.  Remember, we have many veteran roleplayers in our guild who will offer suggestions via whisper as you continue to learn and grow.  Please accept these kind suggestions from others as they are intended and do not take offense to them.  Our goal is to help you - not upset you.

As a member of this family, you are required to understand basic RP etiquette.  We all should continue to put effort into roleplaying our characters.  I've found a wonderful guide for both newbies and veterans that outlines what it means to roleplay a character.   Everyone should take a look at the following site:

On the evening of October 4th, Soulbound held its first meeting in Stormwind Keep at 9pm.  Autumnleaf, Dalark, Dreganna, Felathrim, Ladorelia, Lyyra, Sicklethorne, Uriella, and Whyspur attended the meeting.

Uriella discussed her vision for the family at the meeting and gave out the monthly awards.  We had three special winners for the month of September.  Congratulations to Ärcänä for winning the Guild Member of the Month Award!  Congratulations to Felathrim for winning the Guild Award of Honor!  Congratulations to Boondocks for winning the Role Player of the Month Award. 

If you missed the guild meeting, please visit the Meetings section of the website to review the minutes.  Photos from the meeting have also been posted in the Media section of the website.

Guild meetings are very important monthly events and everyone is encouraged to participate when possible.  If you are ever online during a meeting, your attendance is mandatory.

Congratulations to Ärcänä!  She has stepped forward and asked if she could help with the organization and management of our Guild Vault.  Ärcänä has already proven herself a valued member of our family through assistance, donations, and promoting the guild charter.  I have promoted Ärcänä to the Veteran rank, which enables her to manage our vault more efficiently.  I owe her thanks for stepping forward and wanting to devote her time to something that will benefit the entire guild family. 

So, if you notice something in the Guild Vault that you need or want, please do not hesitate to contact Ärcänä or myself and let us know.  We both visit a city mailbox daily and can deliver items to you within a day of your request or immediately if you are online.  Also, please continue to donate to our guild vault.  It is one of the ways that we can help and support our family.
