Charter & Rules

Prime

Alliance Guild of Boulderfist

Charter and Code of Conduct

Preamble

Prime is an organization with a rich history. Originally formed in 2005 by founder Jayzorac in the MMO Lineage as a spin-off to an even older organization known as "Sacred Souls", Prime has served as a home for a close group of friends and family for eight years and counting. While our organization ebbs and flows, we always manage to reunite, each time adding to our ranks more valued friends and growing in strength and character. In World of Warcraft, our guild originated on the Onyxia server before transferring to the Boulderfist server where it now resides.

Statement of Intent

The purpose of Prime is to serve as a fun and productive home to any willing members. Our values are reflected in these goals which we hold:

To foster a relaxed, purposed, respectful, team-centric atmosphere
To aspire to become one of the top guild achievers in our class and on our server
To build a strong, cohesive guild through mutual respect and teamwork
