Lexion, guild leader of the Exodus Syndicate was resilient enough to answer my questions ;) here we go:

Who are the ExGS Clan?
We are The Exodus Gaming Syndicate, an experienced crowd of gamers coming from games such as MxO, SwG, WoW, GW and so on. Our numbers reach above the 100's right now and currently have 3 branches; Age of Conan, WoW and Huxley.
We are mostly known as brutal PvP'ers, we're a great mix of hardcore and laid back. We have members from across the world with main base during US and UK hours

What is unique about the ExGS?
We can only speak of our perks, not of what other guilds lack. We offer a mature environment, regardless of age. All our members are very civil and welcoming. We're also proud to have 7 female gamers in our guild, which is proof that we carry ourselves with pride and dignity at all times. Our multi-gaming profile also promotes keeping your friends no matter what game you intend to play. We also have a quarterly newsletter which is fully Photoshopped. View the Newsletter Q3 here (a VERY good read! - Ixo). We also have a Radio station!

What servers are you gunning for?
Looking at our past, we´re probably starting out on some sort of PvP server. Exactly to which form will be discussed among the members and leaders when we know more about what will be available. We are a PvP guild for the most part, but we have squads with different orientations - Everyone can find his place in the ExGS. For more information regarding the squads, see the Guild Structure.

How do you look on interaction with other guilds?
Casual alliances will probably work best if any. Usually it takes more administration to manage an alliance than the perks you get from one. If AoC has a built-in system, it will probably ease up the process a bit. We might align ourselves when we have established ourselves, but probably not before, and it will be on a case-by-case basis.

How is the ExGS structured socially (ranks, groups...)?
We have global ranks (meaning same across games and outside as well) to make it as easy as possible for our members to know what position means what. Going on 3 years, we know this rank system is the best for using the talents of our members to their best extent.
We also organize our players into squads:
House of Hades - (US PvP)_____________________________House of Mars - (US PvP)

House of Styx - (US PvP)_______________________________House of Loki - (EU PvP)

House of Glory - (PvE)_________________________________House of Holy - (RP)

House of Exo-Skeleton - (Xbox360)

What is your take on player cities?
Having an in-game home is VERY important. We see it as an accomplishment which our members can be proud of in their everyday quest for levels and glory. We do intend to have both PvP and PvE cities and Id say they are of equal importance, but it will of course be an easier task maintaining a regular PvE city compared to a Border Kingdom battle keep.

What is your take on in-game taxes and loot distribution

I'm pro taxes when it comes to guild cities but not residential tax, just commerce. Those who honor your city with a home shouldn't have to pay, though I might slice a bit off the top on the sales produced. This will of course depend on the economic system in AoC, but I'm not looking to tax my guild members.

Loot distribution will depend on how drops are handled. In teams, the team leader should be able to set the variable. If two teams hit the same mob, those who do the most damage should get the drop. Loot stored in the guild bank should be distributed by the guild leader or the person in charge of it. When it comes to raiding we´re considering using one of the approved WoW systems, we´ll decide after we've tried out the mechanics though.

What excites you most about Age of Conan?
The combat and dynamics of sieging first of all. Age of Conan has so many interesting parts and I´m very excited to see how it all comes together.

How are you planning on communicating in-game (raids, sieges etc...)?
We use a voice chat client (Ventrilo) as a main communication device as it´s just superior to typing in PvP situations.

What are you looking for in a potential member?
I'm looking for mature, friendly and reliable people. I'm looking for those who value dedication. I don't care if this is your first or last MMO, if you're 18 or 50, its of less importance as long as you're social and level-headed.

What do you expect from members (in-game or forum activity)?
I expect them to take what we do serious and to be proud of what we do. I expect activity, whether it be Vent, forums or otherwise

And finally, How to apply?
Post an application through our website and join the the Syndicate now on our road to brutal glory.

A few final words from Lexion:
The ExGS is ready for Age of Conan. Our setup is a finished concept and we´ll be crashing through the gates like hungry wolves no doubt.

I´m very surprised that there are so many great guilds around, I´ve see nothing but great leaders and members around the community and I´m looking forward to meeting everyone in-game and of course killing a few of you as well! :D


If you want to bug me with suggestions, questions or you want your Guild to be featured.. Tough tootsy! :-D
Just kidding! I'm always happy to hear from you. I'm at: Mr.Ixolite@hotmail.com

Awsome! Well i should introduce myself shouldn't I ? My name is Xidaz and i'm one of the officers in House of Loki squad. I'm 18 years old(Yeah, THAT young!) and i live in sweden.
Enough about me now. To make long story short. Awsome topic about our guild! Keep up the good work!

Interesting society where PvP is involved. Looks like a great group of people who want to have fun while training their abilities. I kill you all. There, I said it. Now don't hurt me.

Damn Xidaz how did you get here so fast >_> (I'm 18 - -Older than Xidaz XD - In the UAE(MiddleEast and I'm chinese so doing get any ideas cause of where I live)

How'd we get here anyways??

Meh. Hello everyone. Just popping my head out, dont chop it off yet. I'm Monudo, one of the newer guys in the guild. Already been welcomed war heartedly on the ventrilo and the forums.. This is hopefully going to be a great time.

ExGS Community Manager, Hardwyre, here.

Well, what can I say about ExGS that Lexion hasn't said already? The ExGS is a "haven" for people who are sick of outlandish guild requirements, member-abuse, and seclusion. Too often have I spoken to people where they're talking about their guild, saying things like, "I can't wait until i'm XX level so I can play with everyone!", or, "Man, I was kicked out of the Guild because I didn't make my **enter character class here** a **enter cookie-cutter character spec/build here**." The sad part is that people think this is normal, and accept it as such.

This is wrong. The ExGS was created by people who believe that gamers should be free to GAME. So what was created was not so much a guild, as much as it's a group of friends that know each other, and will drop everything to help you get that next level. "Play for fun. Keep it fun" are the words of our esteemed leader Lexion, on member conduct. We have no requirements of level, play-style, or class. Just don't ruin the game for anybody else.

GUILDIES COME FIRST!!! this is our "golden rule", if you will. Anytime anyone in our society needs help with ANYTHING, there's a fellow member willing to assist at a moment's notice - regardless of level, class, or even game! We watch out for our own, both in-game AND out. No member is left behind.

Since it's creation, I've seen the ExGS not only grow, but accomplish more than almost any other guild i've ever heard of... and it's still expanding. Next step, WORLD DOMINATION.

Any game. Any time. Anybody.

Hi there this is Kable Co-Founder of Exgs.
When I first met Lexion almost 3 years ago we had a vision of starting a community where gamers can come and be themselves and play their games with people that share the same concepts of gameplay.And 3 years later that vision is a REALITY! We at ExGs strive to give our members the tools and knowledge to make them want and be the best We are looking forward to AoC and the carnage that will occur when we hit the server!! Good luck to everyone and have fun.And to all you ExGs members We are proud to have you in the ranks.
