Introduction

Loyalty evolved as devotion for one's family and friends. It comes most naturally amongst small groups or tribes where the prospect of the whole working at a common goal seems to reach the ultimate zion.
Loyalty to tribes evolved from the evolutionary tactic that there is a greater chance of survival and ability to prosper in groups. This is the key to any strong organization, business, and guild. The group, or tribe
(as a whole and individually) must come first in all things. This is what Red Bench is about.  Our goal is the betterment of our members first. The key to a strong guild is a strong member base.


Our guild is about helping each other achieve their personal goals in the game of Ultima Online. My name is Lionel, I am a co-leader of the guild Red Bench, along with Ariene Hawthorne who is the guild leader. My personal goal that i would like to achieve is beating this game.

"Beating this game?  This game can't be beaten you say?"

You don't know this. Have you ever gotten to a point where it said "Sorry, this game keeps going!?" No. You haven't. Therefore you do not know for a fact. My belief is when someone achieves this (me) that the server will shut down and all instances of UO will come to a close. All good things come to an end and this "game" has been around since 1997. That being said, if you are a future member or current member of Red Bench, I personally welcome you with open arms to our guild. We all look forward to helping you accomplish your personal mission, because what helps you, will help us as well.

• There is no age requirement but we do ask that guild mates act mature and don't lose their cool when a negative event occurs, for example, death.
  
• We frown upon multi guild involvement, due to the fact that it leads to unnecessary choices/complications.
  
• We encourage independence and team work, make sense of that one.

• Must have an open mind for all aspects of game play, ie. hunting, resource gathering, pvp/pk'ing, idocs, stealing etc.
  
• The guild and its members should always be #1 priority for other members. We don't ask that you break your back to help others in the guild, (be supportive).  We also don't require you to uphold a good image to the common player, only to each other.
  
• If you are a new player to hybrid you must be open to learning and adapting quickly, we will help you out if you deserve to be helped.
