Congrats to The
Syndicate Guild’s 22nd
Anniversary!
Founded
in 1996, The Syndicate (www.LLTS.org)
turned 22 years old on February 1st.
As one of the founding guilds in our
SOTA community, The Syndicate is the
Guinness World Record holder for the
longest, continuously operating guild.
Their online gaming presences host
more than 1,200 members with many of
them having been a part of the
community for 10 to 20 years or more.
Annually
they host SyndCon where several
hundred members get together for 5
days. We at Portalarium have attended
for the past several years and there
is never a shortage of questions,
comments and ideas about Shroud of the
Avatar. In fact, the idea for the
dragon statue that you can buy from
the online store and even the very
earliest concepts of player run towns
came out of SyndCon.
The Syndicate stands out as the
progenitor to what modern guilds have
become. Since their founding, almost
100 million other guilds have come and
gone yet they have found some kind of
secret sauce to keep their presence
alive and they are not shy about
helping other communities tweak their
formula for success when asked.
Within Shroud you may find The
Syndicate in their capital city of Arx
Draconis, or in one of their
surrounding towns.
