The Syndicate, an online multi-game community, has sent word that it has reached a milestone 16th year of existence. Among other things, The Syndicate sports over 1,200 members and claims a 99% retention rate of its members.

Throughout its 16 years, The Syndicate has set the mark for excellence in a number of ways. The foundation of the success of the guild was created through established a strict and well managed recruiting policy. In order to join The Syndicate one must be close friends with the guild; have a compatible personality and gaming play style; and be looking for long term membership that is based heavily around building personal relationships with other members of the guild. That focus has led to the creation of a 'drama free' environment with unparalleled retention which in turn has allowed for deep friendships to form.

 My guilds been around longer, Guiness has already been advised of this, we have more members, better recruitment, we dominate every game we play, we host an event to bring all our members together each year (Justin Bieber played at the last one) and we test professionaly for all the major developers. We are currently in discussion with Massively.com to annoy its users with monthly reports of our awesomeness.

Yes my guild epeen is bigger than yours,

Sincerly -  < Insert any guild name of three friends who played MuDs together >

wow this again?  why?

I really thought we were done with this crap. It was not received well with a lot of the posters here last time what makes you think this time will be any different? Just stop.

lol

they sounds like a bunch of douches with monacles.

MMORPG.COM, can you please stop writing about a single guild not many people care about? Are you all in the guild or are they paying you to feature them?

You've written about them before and ignored all the many great guilds out there. And you've only gone and ignored the community AGAIN and written about a single guild you've written about several times before...

Thanks.

When did mmorpg.com become a guild recruitment center?

Seriously last year you posted this crap and WE the COMMUNITY in a 23 page thread told you how much we do not care about you boasting this guild!

Do you not care to listen to us, the people who log on your site, put up with your ads so you can get your money?

My guild hits 9 year in August, so I EXPECT that you will do an artice on IRONFIST? Or are you Bias to only this guild?

Employing the words Excellence and Achievement when talking about playing video games hurt  my eyes.

I poo every day and i dont  expect to be recognized as  a Dedicated and Stalwart Contributor to the Ecosystem because of it.

Elitist douches find other elitist douches on the interbuttz and play games together, wherein they attract other elitist douches and develop a strong and lasting sense of self-importance that spans many games.

pfffffffffffffffffffffffff.

Wow, it's deja vu all over again!

please get this trash off this site

I know I got a Fuck around here somewhere. I can give at least one, I know I can. Anyone got a spare Fuck on them?

LOL I still remember the last thread about this guild. That one went swimmingly, wouldn't you say MMORPG.com?

Just like this one is going to...

Not this shit again...ugh.

What part of "we don't care" was difficult to grasp the first time around?

<puts Tin-foil hat on>

My thoughts on this is that this guild in its infancy was created by a bunch of Trust fund kiddies or just rich people in general with a lot of money to burn. Over the years they have used said money/influence to infiltrate media sites and gaming companies to "appreciate" how awesome a guild they are. Money can buy a lot of E-peen time on a lot of social sites.

Just my little thoughts on this whole "Syndicate created guild gaming as we know it, bow down now" thing I have been seeing not only here but a few other places.
