Welcome to the Backwoods, a TOP 40 Guild!
We are a bunch of easy-going guys and gals who think that Robin Hood was a pussy and didn't go far enough. He stayed in the woods with his stockings. We carried right on to the BACKWOODS! We met the Knights who 'til recently said "Ni!", bribed them with a couple of reasonably priced shrubberies and with a nice little path, ate their herring and went deeper in the woods than no knight had gone before.
We are recruiting active(*) team-players. You don't have to be on-line 24/7, just check attack groups and other things every now and then and try to play all your stamina. We are not too picky or hard, we play for fun! Besides activity, we require basic English skills. FSP deposits helps our guild to grow even larger, but they are not mandatory. We have a guild tax to help us collect gold, so it's rare that we request additional gold deposits.
If you are at least level 50, feel free to apply within the guild. If you are not, but think you have what it takes to be an active Backwooder, ask biini or some other high-ranking player if you can join. Cheers!
(*) = Active doesn't mean that you log in every other day and go instantly offline. It doesn't mean that you hunt once a week 200 stam. It means that you hunt all your stamina regularly and level up fast. 10 levels in a six months is not active. 10 levels in a month isn't also active. 10 levels in a week is good, but 15 levels in a week is better. Of course leveling speed decreases once you'll start to two-hit, but before that 7-10 levels in a week should not be a problem. We'll give you the tools in form of hunting gear and massive guild bonuses and buffs... you'll do the job and stay active ;-) Cheers!
The Rules
Here's some "rules" you will be bound to when you join
- NO cheating, NO begging, NO idiots.
- Have fun
- Don't store crap in the guild store (read: something you can buy cheap. Cheap meaning less than 100k gold).
- Act friendly (at least towards your guild mates and allies)
- Ok, we are all adults and we are from backwoods. We have no table manners, we drink a lot and we swear a lot. So dont take it personally if you see an f-word or couple in the guild chat.
- Post on the guild chat if you are taking a longer vacation.
- If you need gold, gear, buffs or anything just ask. (well if you are asking for 100k you'd better have a some kind of explanation :-) )
- Must like beer (or alcohol in general) ...or at least have an unhealthy affection for trees.
- Do not recall Guild Tagged Gear that is worn by a Guild Member (shows in Guild Store Report as Bold Blue). Exception to this rule are donalde, Magundy, DeFalco and biini.
- If you borrowed something from one's backpack for hunting, please return it after you have finished!

News
17.7.2008 Lots of things, lazy newsreported ;) Aralle has risen to top250 and biini is back at top300. We have now all the buildings, not maxed though. Woodman has been selected to hold shared guild hunting sets and Mags, Donalde and DeFalco has been chosen to keep track on guild items.

25.4.2008
Backwoods 1-year birthday (give or take couple of weeks)! To celebrate this we have maxed out our member count! So lots of free space for active Backwooders-to-come!
Skills are moved to this site to ease maintaining. Please fill your own line, or ask a guild mate for help :)
The deleveling party against Northern Alliance went perfectly. -10 levels as expected. Hope they learned their lesson. A big thanks to our new ally WG Stampers for help.
We have just formed an alliance with WG Stampers! We are working on an official communications channel. Any ideas are welcome.
Gear
We have some useful equipment to help our younger players. Fully-forged weapons and some nice legendary/SE/unique sets. These are of course free to use for guild members. Over 800 items last time I counted. If you need help with gear, ask Trunk keepers, or someone in guild chat.
We have now selected, gathered and forged the guild hunting sets. These are located in Woodman's backpack. Please feel free to recall and use them FOR HUNTING, but remember to RETURN them INSTANTLY after hunt. Failing to do so will cause instant recalling of the items, leaving you (partly) naked and open for an easy attack. Here's the list so far:
4 lesser santork claws
6 decay runes
2 Deep sets
2 Mancrusha sets + 2 amulets + 2 rings
1 santork set, +1 claws
1 ferrals gauntlets
1 rusted helm
1 dark ethal shield
1 ethereal demon sword
1 boots of umah
3 baron sets
2 greshas rune
1 samaels set + 2 rings
2 boots of pelacroz
1 banshee set + 2 helms, +2 armors +2 boots
2 samurai sets
1 marpolo set + 2 armors
2 tarbidas sets
2 hunter sets
2 steep nojor sets
2 ragnok sets
If you think we have to get more of some items, please contact biini or trunk keepers. Also note that we still have a TON of other unique/legendary items laying around, so please try to make use of them. Once you've located an item you need, please contact the person in who's backpack it is and ask if you can wear it. If you wont get a reply, please return the item in question after you've finished hunting. Cheers!
