The Cymbrogi is recruiting. Please check us out!

[Grayvon]

We are the Cymbrogi.

It is an ancient celtic word pronounced “koom-BRO-gee” most famously used in the Arthurian Legends to mean “fellow countrymen", "companions of the heart"… “sword brothers”. It is our vision to have this group of people embody these ideals, putting camaraderie and family before all else. To be a part of this community means putting relationships and respecting one another before personal ambitions.

The origins of the Cymbrogi are a core group of players, most of who have been friends for years - some of us before MMO’s were even an idea. We are mostly middle aged adults with young families, so we know a good bit of what life can throw your way while trying to enjoy some online gaming. We have many years playing many different games and recognize things that add to us being able to enjoy gaming together and things that get in the way of that. As excited as we all were to be a part of FFXIV, we decided we wanted to take that experience and create a place that we and like minded people could enjoy.

We all have our own desires we bring to this experience, everything from just chatting in our Grand Company Hall to being a master blacksmith or climbing the top of the Crystal Tower and obtaining eternal glory! We strive to be a place you can safely pursue those different things with the support and company of other players.

Basically all we feel we are asking is to be a decent person. We fully realize that this doesn’t mean we will run into conflicts from time to time, that’s part of community too. This is the standard we set in how we will work through those conflicts together.

In the same vein, as far as membership goes we aren’t asking anyone to “agree” to a set of rules or “sign a charter”. You claim membership of The Cymbrogi based on your actions… you also lose the ability to claim that membership based on your actions.

If these things resonate with you, this could be a good place for you to call home. No, we won’t be server first on content and there will probably be things we’ll need outside help to accomplish. What we will have in turn is the ability to enjoy the game together and be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

In our case “respecting one another” doesn’t translate into everyone being able to act however they want. What we mean is that you consider others in your actions and interactions. Instead of having a list of rules and policies, we use this principle to govern how we approach playing together. We feel as long as we hold to the ideas here, then there is no need for a tedious list of regulations that cannot possibly apply to every situation.

Currently we are looking to recruit active players to be a part of our community and share in our adventures. We are interested in folks that fit in with our current attitude and philosophy. Please check us out at http://cymbrogi.guildwork.com/.

Feel free to /t Grayvon Shauul or Ka'lowe Khelder in game with any questions.

Recruitment is open again.

Hello Grayvon,

I've read everything available from your posts and web site. If your community truly represents what has been put forward then I would be most impressed. I've always been a person that seeks out others with exactly that mentality.

I'm curious when most of your members are online? I'm an American residing in the UK with my British wife. I have constantly been seeking a group of players who not only represent and share my values but also who play during the hours that I play. Being part of the best group of people isn't worth a lot if you aren't able to spend time with any of them.

Is your group exclusively NA or do you have members from all parts of the world? Please leave a reply and I'll check back on occasion. Or you can contact me in game.

I am Uzziah Jehiel. I play from 7 am to 10 pm GMT +0. (I'm medically retired, which affords me such extensive hours of play, lol).

Kind Regards,

Uzziah Jehiel (aka Stephen)

Hi Uzziah,

We accept anyone based on attitude and personality rather than any other criteria. However, we understand it is frustrating to be in a guild when you are the only person on at your peak play time or when you have a hard time making it to any of the scheduled events.

While we haven't set out to be an "EST free company" it has worked out that most of our members are est NA players. We have a few from other NA time zones as well. We accept anyone based on attitude and personality rather than any other criteria. At the moment most of our events are scheduled for 7 or 8 pm est.

Hey Grayvon,

Thank you for responding so fast and sorry I didn't. I really wish I was living in the U.S. right now because you guys fit who I am so perfectly. Unfortunately I am sleeping when you guys are playing and you guys are sleeping or working while I'm playing. Basically I'm 5 hours ahead of EST. However, I will keep my eye on your FC and will probably contact you on occasion as well to see if you have acquired any members in my time zone. I have my doubts that that will happen as a group like yours is not about numbers in rank. You are more interested in quality than quantity and that's the way it should be.

I would wish you the best of luck but with a group of individuals like you lot, you don't need luck. When you do the right thing, right things tend to come your way on a regular basis. Instead, I salute you and hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Sincerely,

Uzziah Jehiel (aka Stephen)

Really sorry it didn't work out Uzziah. Sounds like we are really missing out on what could have been a great addition to our free comapny.

Bumping this ye olden recruitment post and happy to say that everything that's stated here is still what we are about and are proud of the Free Company we have. That said, it is always good to make new friends and bring new life to our in-game home.

If what we are about resonates with you, please check out our website at http://cymbrogi.guildwork.com/ and fill out an application or reach out to Ka'Lowe Khelder, Grayvon Sablehawk, or Rehesia Rockmaul in game with any questions.
