The first time I stepped foot in that zone, I was totally excited about the prospect of a pvp zone, after all

Guild Charters: Outdated?

Guild Charters: Outdated?
It seems like the guild charter requirement of having 10 people sign was a good idea, it made sure that making a guild was a social activity and that you wouldn’t just make guilds on a whim.
