Critical information and resources for all Ruin members:

Activity Expectations

Ruin is a large and highly active organization. Due to roster size restrictions members are expected to log into their characters at least once a week, or relocate characters to alternate guild branches. Extended absence over one week can avoid inactivity removals by requesting a roster note.

The following games are currently our core focus for 2018:

RUIN exists to provide a well organized community experience for our members. Ensuring that the quality of the social experience remains at the highest possible levels is a core objective. Ultimately games are about the entertainment and social experience. Members should enjoy themselves and have fun.

Ensuring that content and events in and outside of game are provided to cater to the needs of casual players as well as dedicated competitive players is critical to our long term success as an organization.  To achieve Ruin’s objectives of providing the best social experience, members are presented with the opportunity to grow as individuals, improve their characters in game, are provided with the tools to make a difference, and are challenged to constantly improve the guild.

This includes providing up-to-date gaming industry information including expansion releases, game reviews, and links to accurate online game guides. The online cooperative gaming experience provided by Ruin, also requires effective teams that are capable of working well together in a complex social environment. Ruin actively recruits new officers and provides officer training to support all Ruin functions from recruiting, in-game events, and online media presence.
