Then you can make a whole list of guild name abbreviations -.-:
EE - EvilEmpires
EC - EasyCompany
GoL - Guardians of Light
PPK - Pewpewkittens
SoV - Sword of Valor

might people want to make a list of the guilds on each server? and if they are active or not, etc..(in another thread ofc)? i apologize, but this really isn't the list for player-created aspects of the game.



thread can be cleaned, except for the quoted part, as i may still do something with it yet.

Per your request, cleaned except for this thread. When you're ready for this one to be cleaned, just post or poke someone in IRC and we'll clean this one as well ~Aqualink
