Another week have started, and another Guild took the time to answer our questions. Being an old SWG gamer my self, it’s nice to have a chat with some old timers again. So with no further ado, I bring you Death’s Fist: Where did your guilds name come from? Originally we were going to call ourselves Revan’s Fist, after a guild that existed for a few months on the Corbantis server in SWG. I was a PvP officer in the guild, and always thought it was a great, unique name. However, when we went to create our guild on SWTOR.com, it wouldn’t let us use Revan. So after some quick brainstorming we came up with Death’s Fist – still a unique name with an edge to it. Can you give me a quick 2-3 sentance description of your guild? Death’s Fist is an international, adult guild that will focus on…

Avant Garde, is a North American raiding guild founded in March 2011 [US West (PST)]. The guild has a laid back atmosphere but when it comes to PvE progression they put in 100%. Many of their members also enjoy PvPing or levelling alts to raid with on their off days. Chec kout the interview below: Where did your guild’s name come from?

The Guild Sphere: Scions of Rage
It’s Monday and time for a new guild feature. This week Scions of Rage is in the hot chair. Scions of Rage is a PVE orientated Sith guild. Check it out! Where did your guilds name come from? Originally I wanted to name it “Scions of Mandalore” but Mandalore was a reserved word and so I couldn’t use it. After that didn’t work I was thinking about what sort of Scion would exist in the Star Wars universe and I went with the token selection: Rage, as it is featured prominently as a Sith emotion. It’s the opposite of inner peace which is what the Jedi strive after. So in that sense the implication is that the members of my guild are focus their hatred and anger as a fuel for combat.
