Welcome

Welcome to the home of the Purple Helmets Europa based Ultima Online guild. For those of you who are here to find out more about our guild, and perhaps consider joining us, please read on and check out the rest of our site.

For those who are wondering - "What is all this about?" please click here to check the FAQ's at the end of the introduction.

Introduction

We are a well established guild of mixed character classes, based on the island of Jhelom, on the Trammel facet of Europa, where we first placed our house and guildstone over four years ago, as soon as housing opened on Trammel Europa.

Since that time the guild grew to quite a large size, about 35 members, before shrinking back to it's present quota. Originally we established ourselves as a guild that accepted new players and took time to train and help them get used to Ultima, our Guildmaster was a UO Companion in the days before the volunteer programmes was disbanded. Many of our past members still play and now have large houses and guilds of their own, so our job was done well.

As UO has progressed, so we moved on and now comprise of a long standing, but small group of players who have numerous characters with many advanced abilities. We are now moving the guild on into the world of Roleplay and have decided to adopt the CORE rules and guidelines for this.

Presently we are not a warring guild, but this may change in time and members will consulted about this.

We are not a strict or beaurocratic guild - we role play when in uniform with other members of the CORE fraterinty, but we also organize our own hunts and exploratory trips, where anything goes. We do not have strict meeting times, but members are all on ICQ and we usually contact each other in this way and many of our adventures are impromptu affairs.

So, if you like the idea of belonging to small, but friendly bunch, involving some roleplay and some traditional monster bashing - then read on for the guild story, and contact us about membership if you feel it's for you.

FAQ

This section is mainly for those who are new to Ultima Online, or who are totally baffled by the site so far...please also check the links section for more useful sites.

What is Ultima Online?

UO - as it is known - is one of the oldest established multiplayer online games. People from all over the World log onto servers to play their alter egos in a fantasy world of swords, sorcery and trading. Check the official UO website at www.uo.com for full details.

What is a UO guild?

A guild is a group of players in UO who get together and form a sort of "club" so that when they adventure and train together they are able to help each other fully. Many guilds follow strict procedures some have have strict regimental heirarchies, some are warring guilds, some are full of artisans. They are a great way to get help, support and advice about the game in general.

What types of guild are there?

Almost any type you can imagine. But when you join a guild be careful to check if they are a warring guild or not. Warring guilds are allowed to fight each other - its part of the game - non warring guilds do not fight other players at all and cannot be attacked by players on Trammel. Be aware that if you join a warring guild you cannot be healed or resurrected by people not in your guild - which can be very inconvenient if adventuring alone or with non-guild members.

What type of guild are you?

We are essentially a non-warring guild at present, as most of our activities involve PvM (player v. monster) hunts, treasure hunting and adventuring with other non-guilded players. However, we do roleplay with guilds following the CORE roleplay rules of engagement. We can't be part of their fights, but can have fun attending tourneys, watching and drinking with other players in a roleplay environment.
