Everything we [[EVO's]] do as a guild stems from our idea of who and what we are.
 
We are here to raid and succeed, on a casual basis. We recognise that each of
us has a real life on the other side of the screen; families, jobs, friends and
education. This does not mean we are mediocre players, and our strength is in
focusing our available time and energies to achieve our goals.
 
As a guild we succeed or fail as one and co-operate to find solutions and
strategies, share our ideas and skills so that each one of us can find our
passion for the game and build on it.
 
We don't want to be the biggest guild, or the best and highest achieving
raiding team on The Red Eclipse. We want to be somewhere that at the end of a hard
day, you want to be. A friendly, relaxed place to be with people you can trust
where you can continually improve in the things you do.
 
Bring your mains, bring your alts, bring your friends, your optimism and your
fun. (Oh, and don't forget the cookies).
