Many years ago, on a dark October night, I sat down with K'Teak and a friend of ours named Digger in Ultima Online. We originally thought of opening a shop together and needed a house to do it in. Digger offered up the money for a small house and the shop opened a few days later. At the same time we were discussing the shop, though, the idea of a guild was discussed. We had all been in other guilds but they didn't feel right to us.
Teak and I had known each other from Star Trek RP and enjoyed the family-feel that the chat room had. We wanted to incorporate that into the guild some how. Me, being the wolf-lover I am, wanted something to do with wolves as well. So I started looking at how a pack of wolves work together.
In a pack there is an alpha-male (and sometimes an alpha-female) that leads the pack. They work together to get food for the whole pack. They help raise the pups in the pack together.
Along with the help of Jenner, who donated the money for the guild stone, SWP was started on this philosophy. We were a family. We cared about each other, not just our toons, but we as people. As we got new members (pups), we spent many hours working together to train, go hunt, and having fun.
That was ten years ago now, and while the game has changed, peole have gotten older, and some have moved on, SWP is still a family. And that needs to be celebrated.
Therefore, on November 10th we will be having a Guild Anniversary Day! Events will be held through that day and hopefully some of our old guildmates who have moved on will come back and join the fun too!
Please spread the word! If you have any ideas for events, please list them here. Let's all make this a GREAT DAY!
