Pax Illuminatus (Pax Gaming Community Rift Division) Recruiting all classes

[Even]

What is the Pax Gaming Community?

Pax Gaming is a collection of community minded members committed to enjoying games of all sorts together. The community has been around since 2001, and has been experiencing games together ever since. We are a community first, and a game aspect later. This means that we fully support all playstyles including PVE, PVP, and RP. Our interests are not focused on a single game, but includes many MMO's as well as tabletop, shooters, and more. Who a recruit is as a person weighs more heavily than any other consideration. We are a group of friends, family, and like minded geeks. Many of our members have met up in the world, and at conventions you can expect to see a table or two with Paxians. While our numbers steadily grow over the years, the quality of our family remains our single largest benefit.

Pax hosts our own server for teamspeak as well as our forums. We have an organized charter that outlines a very simple yet definitive set of rules to maintain the level of community we wish to provide. While we strongly encourage participation in roleplay, no single element of a game is enforced. Our concern is for our members to enjoy gaming together. That being said every division of Pax Gaming has origin stories, roleplay officers, and event planners. We also promote and support officers in charge of pve and pvp content as well.

In the end our name best describes who and what we are. Pax is a community, above everything else. It is a common phrase for us to state that we recruit the player, not the "toon".

Is Pax Gaming Recruiting for Rift?

Pax Gaming currently has a small but stable Rift division. The community is extremely excited about growing our current Rift division. We currently have a guild alliance with Grue and Faceless Mizfits allowing us to clear all T1 content and are progressing through Hammerknell at this time. Not a raider? Thats ok too, Pax is more of a community than a raiding guild, we dabble in just about anything in game and have fun doing it. We encourage anyone interested in our community to check us out.

Why join Pax Gaming?

Community

Many Pax Gaming members call Pax their second family. We cherish the members we have developed over the years and our cohesion quickly becomes apparent whenever we begin approaching content. Our drive is cemented in an environment where members can explore progression, role-play, and player versus player gaming competitively. Time and time again the Gaming Community has been able to achieve these goals while maintaining a community first mindset. A game is played to have fun, and this family provides opportunities for varying playstyles to flourish.

Longevity

Pax Gaming has been around since 2001. Since that date we have had successful guilds in many MMO's, Pax Gaming has never disbanded, and never has been without at least one MMO our members have been playing. We will stay in an MMO as long as it's members are there, we will not shut down a division just to move to another MMO. If you are looking for a guild that isn't just a rest stop to another goal, this is the home for you. If you like mature members that are socially active outside of raid nights, this is your guild. If you think achieving content progression does not require yelling and degradation, look no further.
This will NOT be a guild that folds. Our SWG Chapter of Pax Imperius stayed active and going strong since the servers first opened. We remained active through the games turbulent history. Pax remained there until the game itself was shut down. Over the last eleven years Pax has remained strong and active.

Opportunities

Pax has always looked at each members contributions to their division and community fairly. A member advances through effort and not through a veteran system. We have leaders and officers that have been with Pax Gaming anywhere from a couple of weeks, to eleven years.
We have opportunities to move up in rank, even by newer members. We have a history of giving dedicated members a chance at being in a leadership position if they show the dedication and drive, no matter how long they have been a member of Pax. We are not a guild who shows favoritism to our “veteran members”.

Family

Pax Gaming always recruits the individual. We're always looking for those who will fit well within our family. This means we are never looking for your chosen playstyle, "level", or gear. We are interested in growing our collection of high quality members. We are here to recruit you, not your "toon".
Above all Pax is a family and you will form friendships within our guild. Many of us have become RL friends, traveling to meet up with each other when we can and one of our members even hosts a New Years Eve party where all Pax members are invited.

All Play Styles

We support all play styles. Role-Play, Raiding, PVP, Crafting, you name it, all of our divisions support it. We have been doing it since the launch of Star Wars Galaxies we know what works and doesn't when it comes to all encompassing

Experience

Our members have years of experience in RP, PvP and PvE in a variety of games. Many of our members are held in respect on their respective servers. Pax members are always willing to give advice and a hand if you need it.

What is this Charter You Speak Of?

Our Charter is a ‘living document’ that out lines our guild structure, Chain of Command, Rules of Engagement, Codes of Conduct and general guild rules. You may view our charter here

How do I join?

We are currently not ready to begin recruitment for Pathfinder Online. If you are interested in our community, however, we suggest you drop on by. We will be fully supporting a Company for this game in the future, and if you currently play any of the games we have established divisions in, you might find us a good fit. Once a Pax Member has been accepted, they are free to join any game we are playing without further applications. This means that while we are not recruiting for this specific game, your application to another game we play means you can be a member of our Pathfinder Online division in the future.

First you will need to go www.paxgaming.com to register with the Pax Community.

Our application process is a two week application period, during this two week period you will interact with Pax Gaming members and make sure you are a good fit for our guild. This two week period is also here to help you determine if our guild is a good fit for you.

Message Even or Mneten in game if you have questions, comments or concerns.

Bump.

Still growing and looking for more members. casual or raiders both welcome.

[Kelinniane]

Where are you at as far as raiding here on Faeblight (GSB/RoS, HK, ID)? And what are you raid days and times?

I've been looking for a guild that runs the T2 Raids here on this shard.


Thanks

[Even]

check your PM's

bumping again.

Still looking for more members casual and raid.

[Even]

Another friendly Bump. Our rift division is getting larger and we are still interested in anyone wanting to raid (current progression is 5/11 HK and 4/4 ROTP) or just a casual gamer looking for a place to call home.

[Even]

Filling up nicely, good people, and progressing in HK raids as well. Still accepting anyone regardless of level or class. :P

[Kaysis]

I have been to the Pax Gaming website. I tried to register an account, so I could post my application, using the questions based off of the other Pax applicant postings. On 29 July, in response to setting up an account, I received an e-mail stating, “Before you can login and start using the forum, your request will be reviewed and approved. When this happens, you will receive another email from this address.” When trying to log in, even though I don’t have this follow up e-mail, I get the message, “Your account is still awaiting admin approval.”

I have looked all over the Pax website, trying to find whatever it was that I was missing. I still haven’t found it. I did go back and double check to make sure that the application questions I want to post weren’t actually part of the original registration process to create an account. If someone will tell me what I need to do to get the admin approval, so that I can post my application, I will be happy to do it. I have everything all set up. I just need a place to copy and paste the application to.

Who am I, again?
I (Kaysis) was in a pug raid hosted by Pax Illuminatus and The Collegium a couple of weeks ago. Before all was said and done, I was given a joke invite to The Collegium, to see how long it would take the Pax members to notice. While I never did drop from The Collegium, I will admit I was and am still more interested in Pax as a permanent home. When I said I was a guild killer, I didn’t mean via drama. I meant every small, homey guild I join dies off within a couple of months. I was un-guilded when I met you, because I was seeking a stronger place to call home.

[Even]

I remember you and Konstantin told us you would probably apply. That is a strange glitch in the registration. I have seen it happen one other time. I will get it fixed for you so you can do the application. In the mean time feel free to add myself (Even), Ovuel (GM of Pax) or Vellora (Rift division rector) to your friends list so we can get you into the guild.

On a side note for anyone else looking to join we are now 7/11 in HK and 4/4 in RoTP!!

[Even]

Looking for mages and clerics that are HK ready (we are currently 7/11 HK). We accept anyone, even if they dont want to raid but are actively looking for a few more mages and clerics for our raid core.

Clerics - Healing, dps/heals

Mages - Archon, dps, heals

[Clothar]

Bumping for fun as I have returned to Rift after a year away to play Tor(was in beta a long time).. now that I got tired of unbalanced pvp I decided to come back to pvp here..

Leveling a defiant to go with my guardian and once 1.10 hits I think we will be accepting Guardian players as well.. unknown though as its not my call..

[Even]

We will indeed be bringing in Guardians as of this weekend. An update to this, with recent recruits and guild absorptions we have a solid core for raiding. We will still be recruiting for casual players as well as raiders.
