Ultima Online
The Syndicate plays UO on Server: Atlantic which is one of the very
first UO servers that was brought online. Jokingly referred to as "dont
worry, it will be up soon" for frequent crashes and issues in the early
days, Atlantic has proven to be a great server.
All Syndicate members are required to primarily play on our server of
choice. Syndicate members may not be a member of ANY other UO guild on
ANY character on ANY server. That creates a conflict of interest that
we do not accept. We seek members who are only loyal to us and are
looking for long term membership here.
We do maintain both a main stone and a warstone (TSG.. The
Syndicate Guard) that members can participate in. We do not recruit
solely for our warstone, however. You must be looking to join The
Syndicate as a Long Term member as your primary focus. If you have that
focus then you can also maintain a char on the warstone.
Guild Structure in Ultima Online
The Syndicate uses its "squad" based structure that has served it well
for many years. Dragons is the guildmaster of the guild and ultimately
makes all decisions. The next level in the chain of command is a team
of advisers that have each been with The Syndicate many years. They are
Grif and Dargus. Below them sit a very skilled team of Squad Leaders
each tasked with managing a large, motivated squad in UO.
Membership into The Syndicate isnt a quick or easy process. We seek
only the best people. Once admitted as a recruit, all new members will
spend their first weeks in a new member rank. Over time higher ranks
are earned and greater responsibilities are given to members.
All members are assigned to a squad. Squads are not viewed as barriers
within the guild but rather they server as organizational entities that
allow for clear, efficient guild communications. They also provide a
clear chain of command and the ability for every member to have an
officer that knows them well that they can provide feedback, ideas,
suggestions, complaints etc.. directly to and know that officer will
bring them to Dragons to be addressed. The squad structure has been
used for many many years and serves the guild very well.
Our UO Squad Names are our oldest, most historic and revered
squad names. These names have a long and proud tradition in the guild
that we carry forward into other gaming worlds.
Our Squads
Dragon Fire
Black Dragon
Dragon Strike
Sunfire
Blackheart Ranges
Knights of the Dragon
Shadowknights
Retired Squad Names
Black Eagle
Waveraiders
Dark Path
Merchant Corps
Those squads all have a long, proud and strong Syndicate tradition that we
will be growing and adding to in future gaming worlds and as we
continue forward in UO. We are proud of our years of history and
express that in our continuing use of legacy squad names.
End Game & PvP
The Syndicate has a focus on enjoying and defeating all content in UO. We
enjoy Champ Spawns and Peerless Bosses. We regularly
hunt in The Gauntlet and take on all the major challenges of UO. With
that said, we do not lose site of what is truly important in gaming
which is to have fun with friends. We hold guild events both for
ourselves and for the general public. And when we hunt and pvp we do so
with an overarching goal to have fun, as a team of friends. While it is
a great game, UO will come and go and The Syndicate will still be here
and most of its members will still be members in future games. So while
we do play hard... we do hunt & raid hard... we do pvp hard.. and
we do love to defeat the 'end game' content, we do so without losing
site of our core values and focus on friends, team and our online
family.
About Our Members
The Syndicate is a guild of adult, mature, dedicated, team focused, friendly
gamers. We do not tolerate self centered kiddies or those seeking to
benefit at the team's expense. We seek only the best players who share
a similar mindset to our own and who are looking for a long term guild
to call home. The Syndicate is home to many types of players from die
hard PvPers to outstanding PvE players to those who excel in the
economic side of UO. All are important to our success and we are always
looking for quality people to join our ranks. Do you think you have
