We are a Kurzick Alliance leader with a high number of Kurzick factions points. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to join [TgS]. We will have a Web Page and a Forum up shortly, so stay tuned. Check back here frequently to stay up-to-date on all things [TgS].

Philosophy
Order Of The Golden Spear is a guild who's sole purpose is the enjoyment and satisfaction of its members!

Guild Rules
[TgS] only requires a handful of rules to be followed by its members. They are as follows:
 * Be Respectful. :This simply means being courteous and polite towards guildmates and other guilds in our alliance. Spamming is prohibited.
 * Be Active. :We value players that take the time to play and socialize with the guild. While we certainly appreciate the stresses faced by everyone in "Real Life", members should try log on at least 3 times a week. Extended absences without prior notice or explanation can result in termination at the discression of the Council.
 * Have Fun. :We encourage all members to enjoy their time with the guild and to participate with other guildmates in activities. We strive to provide a fun and relaxing environment for everyone to enjoy, if that is not the case, let an Officer know!

History
Order Of The Golden Spear was formed in late 2007, but the current incarnation has its origins in March 2008. Founded by Double Helix Prime, [TgS] was built through aggressive recruiting of players of all walks of life, professions, and skill levels. Since those early days [TgS] has grown from only a handful of members to a guild of over 35 players, spanning all three campaigns and EOTN. In the past, [TgS] had been a member of the Viper's Crypt alliance, and contributed significantly to the Kurzick Faction during this time. We later left this alliance, and are currently the leader of our own Kurzick Alliance with over 400000 faction already accumulated. In the first weeks of the guild, PvX opportunities with guild members were not particularly strong, however the current landscape for PvP and PvE has never been better, with daily AB matches, and extensive PvE expeditions a part of the guild's foundation. [TgS] has always resided in the guild hall on Warrior's Isle, creating an extravigant location which features a wide variety of NPC services, as well as access to PvP matches and guild socializing over the past few months. Order of the Golden Spear continues to grow both in membership and experience and looks forward a bright future.

Cape History
Order of the Golden Spear is currently sporting their second-generation cape, this section explores the history of the [TgS] cape.

Current membership includes the guilds Bizniz Time, The Knights of The Three Lands, and The Assassins Order. Interested guilds can contact any of the Officers, or Leader of [TgS] for more information on the alliance.

Faction
As mentioned above, Order of the Golden Spear Alliance supports the Kurzick faction, and participates frequently in faction events such as Alliance Battles. Inter-guild teams of four are not uncommon when laying waste to the Luxons, and offers a great opportunity to get to know alliance members better. All alliance guilds are expected to contribute faction to the alliance on a regular basis, with the intention of increasing faction as opposed to remaining stable.

VOIP
In order to communicate more effectively in AB and PvE, as well as allowing easier socializing, [TgS] has a 30 person Team Speak server which is available to all members of the guild and alliance. Officers can assist new members to configure the TS client and connect to the Golden Spear server.

Every Sunday we have an all day AB event, so please participate. Stay tuned for more [TgS] news coming soon!
