I am very happy with how much the guuild has grow over the last few months even to the point where i typed in "grav" on google and the the outo-complete filled in "graviora manent tera guild". so im guessing that the google notariability is pretty fucking cool. On another note, im just letting you guys know that ill be formally attempting to rejoing your ranks once tera launch date is announced and i can get my hands on something palatable. Hope all is well and you all get my warmest greetings to you all.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
Goodluck and ill see you guys soon (hopefully)&lt;br /&gt;

Look forward to talkin to you on Mumble soon! Make sure you check your mail here on GP and follow the steps its important for your process :)</description><author>socxiety</author><pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2011 22:58:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>A wild BEARDED SAGE has appeared!</title><link>http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=374925&amp;TabID=3148871&amp;ForumID=1803062&amp;TopicID=9660108&amp;Msg=46649478#46649478</link><description>THAT, is what ABSage stands for, FYI.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
Not a whole lot to say of myself. I'm a writer, mostly fantasy, but I have written outlines for romance, sci-fi, and horror novels as well.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
Currently a Nursing student. Being a nurse means job security, helping make a difference, and good pay with the option to travel anywhere in the world, so I feel like it's a good supplement until I become a world-class author.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
I plan on playing Amani or Castanics because they look pretty cool. I'll be playing as male since I'm male IRL.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
I'm 22, live in KY in the USA, and have been gaming forever, like most everyone else here, and I'm extremely religious, though I do not preach at or to others who do not wish to hear it. I believe the most harm a Christian can do is to shove the word of God down the throats of people who seriously don't want to listen. It paints us all as being arrogant doom-sayers and will do far more harm to the cause than good.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
Ah, I think the Elin race is non-sense and it's garnered me a lot of dislike in the Tera forums, but honestly, what game designers takes a race that's supposed to represent the ageless, powerful avatars of Nature and turns them into an EXCLUSIVELY female race of small children? That just seems ridiculous to me. I will not grief anyone who plays Elin though, it's just a personal opinion.&lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt; 
I'm pretty laid-back, even if parts of my introduction have people thinking I won't be. I like to chat with others and I love to crack jokes. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to post, or pm me or whatever. Also, I'm not sure about all the privacy rules for the guild or whatever, so if you'd like to add me on facebook or something, pm me and I'll send you the link. I look forward to working with you guys in game and turning us into the top guild in NA and the world!</description><author>ABSage</author><pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2011 22:39:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>RE: Hi.</title><link>http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=374925&amp;TabID=3148871&amp;ForumID=1803062&amp;TopicID=9657759&amp;Msg=46647116#46647116</link><description>Thank you.&amp;nbsp; ^.^</description><author>UserUnknown</author><pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2011 12:40:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>RE: Auto-Posted Application from ABSage</title><link>http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=374925&amp;TabID=3148871&amp;ForumID=1798186&amp;TopicID=9657782&amp;Msg=46640773#46640773</link><description>Thanks for your applicaiton.

Explain&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;Honestly, it varies depending on the day. The classes I've been most captivated by are, Slayer, Priest, and Archer.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;What style of player are you? (Support, Tank, DPS, Etc)&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;I like being reliable support or DPS. Honestly, I just like being there to help my allies when they need it. Sometimes that is accomplished with healing and buffing, other times its done by drawing aggro when a team mate is at a disadvantage. I don't just play games to have fun, I play them for a sense of adventure and commraderie.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Do you have a mic and are familiar with voice chat protocol programs? (Mumble)&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;I have never used Mumble per se, but I'm familiar with Skype, and Ventrilo, and I think I could learn Mumble pretty easily if required. I have a mic yes, and hopefully very soon I will have a much better one.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Why do you want to be a member of Graviora Manent?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;SocietyX told me about the guild on my introduction post on the Tera forums and when I read some of what the guild is about and how it approaches the game of Tera, it sounded EXACTLY like what I was looking for; a group filled with like minded gamers. A clan of respect, dedication, drive, and friendship.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;How can you contribute to making us better?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;Skill. I've been a gamer all my life, and while I haven't played Tera yet, I'm a fast learner. Not just on how to play a game, but how to understand mechanics, and how to think outside the box when it comes to creative ways to use skills and approach dungeons. More importantly though, I WANT to contribute and that in itself means that I am free to be molded.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Did you read the guild info?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;Yes, it was very well written, and the introduction is what kept me reading through the rest.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Do you understand our "Hardcore with Casual undertone" philosophy? Explain.&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;Indeed. It means that there is a defined goal, and that it isn't to be forgotten, but that the best way to be the best, is to play the game like you're playing with friends. Friends are people you can laugh with, people you aren't afraid of being judged by, people you can trust, and people you match. The best way to reach the top, is to make sure everyone balances and supports each other. It won't be hardcore 24/7, but the goal will never be forgotten, either.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Do you like to participate more in PVP or PVE? Explain.&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;PVE. I like fighting against other players and testing build and personal control, but games like this are epic because of their setting. Teams of 6-8 people fighting together to take down a massive dragon that is responsible for wreaking havoc across a kingdom you are sworn to protect are epic. The grit, the sense of accomplishment, and the raw feel of battle like that are much more exciting than fighting other people who are likely to troll hard if they lose. Fighting massive monsters with your team mates is pretty freaking awesome.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;What is some of your gaming history?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;I've been gaming since Atari. The first system I actually bought myself was the SNES, which I bought when I was 7, with a little help from my parents yes, but the money that bought it was mine! I've played console games for years, and I've become fairly handy at them. I'm good. I recently upgraded my PC to an Alienware Aurora in preparation for Diablo 3 and Tera, so I'm seriously invested. I love Starcraft 2, the Diablo franchise, LOTRO, Dungeons and Dragons Online, and I love everything I've seen of Tera so far. I'd also love to play on other games with people I meet here as well, but I have no trouble being fully dedicated to maximizing our potential in Tera. In fact, the idea of being with a guild from the moment a game launches till the point in the future that we become number one is thrilling. I love it! I'd love to say I was a senior member here since the very start. I'd be proud to say so, in fact.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;What is your timezone / playing hours?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;It will depend entirely on when the game is released. My timezone is Eastern Standard. I'm still a student in college, so that may very well get in the way sometimes. Currently I'm working hard on getting published as author with a fairly large company, and if that happens, you can bet I'll have a lot more free time for gaming, because that's my dream job. If I get that, I'm not letting something shitty like school get in my way.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Any additional comments?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;I have never been a part of guild before, but you guys are exactly what I've been looking for. I know I might not have a lot to convince you that I'd be a valuable addition, but give me a chance and I promise I'll do everything in my power to make sure you don't regret it. I'm willing to work both inside the game, and outside. I'll help in any way I can.&lt;div class="tLeft"&gt;&lt;div class="tBold"&gt;Do you have any references?&lt;div class="mAll"&gt;I was told that I might want to join by SocietyX. He read my introduction post on the Tera forums. I posted under the name ABSage if it helps.&lt;div class="mTop"&gt;Applicant did not list any characters.</description><author>System</author><pubDate>Sat, 07 May 2011 00:40:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
