Guild:Knights Of The New Republic (historical)

About Us
The Knights of the New Republic is a Guild Wars guild that was created during the February 2005 Beta Weekend. Chris (Tyreals Mentor) and I used to play Diablo II together and when I read about GW in the February 2005 Issue of Computer Gaming World, I thought we should really try it out. Diablo II was getting kind of boring as we were doing the same thing over and over again. I convinced Chris to pre-order GW along with me so we could try to find a new gaming home. Guild Wars was the best thing that could have happened for us.

KNR has had some hard times in the past, but I've done my best to keep it on its feet and keep its head above water. Sometimes it just seems that we'll just never make this guild what we want it to be. I love this guild and all of its members. We originally started this guild with just the two of us and were looking for new members to add to the ranks. Chris had a couple of friends who were playing different games at the time and convinced them to come to GW. With them came their friends and more. Our guild was starting to grow very rapidly. Then it just turned south. All of the sudden, it seemed like we just had a bunch of immature freeloaders in the guild and no one really wanted to help each other out. They were all in it for themselves. Not a good situation to promote guild unity. I made an extremely harsh decision and removed everyone but Chris from the guild. It was time to start over.

After about 8 months of playing GW, we were right back where we were at the beginning. Looking back, I'm so happy for that decision. We took our time and recruited QUALITY members. Like the old saying goes...."Quality over quantity". Just having a lot of members in the guild wasn't nearly as satisfying as the handful of quality members we have now. As not to leave anyone out, I don't want to mention names, but I love all of the members of KNR.....we're like a family. I couldn't ask for a better guild.

Just a couple of months ago, I sent Sam (Arjuna Karna) out on a recruiting trip to try to increase our numbers. I figured that he might come up with a couple of new hopefuls...at most. Then he messages me in Yahoo while I'm at work to inform me of GEN and their alliance. At first glance, I was kind of skeptical of joining an alliance and I felt that we should really try and work on KNR before joining an alliance and getting swallowed up and lost in the mix. After playing with members of GEN, MGA, Rose, and LoKi the following weekend, my attitude completely changed. These were the kind of people we were looking to recruit into KNR. Friendly, mature, experienced GW players. Once the trial process started, I spent as much time as possible trying to get KNR into this wonderful alliance. I felt that there was nothing that would be better for KNR than to get in and I was hoping they would invite us. The recent entrance into the alliance has rejuvenated my love for Guild Wars. I'm looking forward to many more good times with KNR and the GEN alliance.

The Knights of the New Republic is currently looking for new members to join our guild and alliance families. We look for mature, 18+ players that are willing to help out and become part of something bigger than the normal Guild Wars guild. We are one big, friendly family in the alliance--cape designs are the only thing that set us apart.
