Valiance is a Core-Gamer guild slated for the up-and-coming MMORPG, Vanguard:Saga of Heroes. Most of our members are veteran gamers coming from previous games such as EQ, DAoC, L2, FFXI, SW:G, EQ 2, and WoW, and it is veteran gamers we seek to attract. We intend to join a PvP server, except in the case the PvP system is deemed very poor or unbalanced. There is the possibility we may transfer post-release to an interesting PvP server ruleset. We intend to organize guild groups, raids, and other guild-sponsored events as the world presents possibilities.

We do not intend to set a required weekly number of hours our members are expected to play to be members. We take every member seriously and on a personal basis. If a member is straggling or being held back, the issue will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. We are NOT a power guild, and we are NOT a casual guild. We do have many power gamers and casual gamers. It is the people with average lives (a job, a family) who love to game that will find us the most appealing, however.

Our current loot distribution system is a modified DKP which we call AP (Attendance Points) that applies to guild raids, meetings, and sponsored events, and can be used to bid for raid drops and other rarely-acquired items. The leadership reserves the right to bypass the bid process at any time in the event of extenuating circumstances. Any protest against said override will be ignored and trouble makers will not be tolerated. The details of the AP system are currently still being worked out and are subject to change.

The Idiology
We are bound together by one single goal; the pursuit of being valiant. Valiantness, or valiance, is described as having great courage and determination. Persistence and hard work are the only certain methods to success. We do not promise to be the best. We do not promise to be the first. We do not promise we will not make mistakes, goof up, whipe out, or make fools of ourselves. We do promise we will get up, dust ourselves off, and keep going after every set back. We do promise to eternally challenge our own limits. We do intend to put forth our very best effort at everything we do. We will continually push ourselves forward and never be satisfied with what we have. We are aggressive, we are persistent, and we will never be defeated because of this.

I myself am a hardcore gamer.
