Lions of the Heart, largest Casual guild EST/CST/PST Xegony

With all the RL stuff going on a bit of a boost to online numbers we have 125 online this afternoon.

And just a reminded we are always happy to have people join us wiht a test toon to see if we are a good fit. We don't want anyone burning their bridges with an existing guild or doing a server transfer until they know we are a good fit the them.

Take us for a test drive

And just to be clear. Numbers don't make us a good guild. Numbers do help folks get a better idea of grouping chances but they aren't the only factor. That is one reason I say folks should test us out. I am not trying to trick anyone into joining us. Giving out our online numbers is just another way to give people as much info up front before they try us out.

Happy to have you join us!

For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay the pleasure of introducing you to Lions of the Heart, a guild sired by guilds. A guild that can trace it's lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met Lions atop a mountain near High Keep, praying to a GM for forgiveness for the Orc blood spilled by their swords and spells.

Come join us on Xegony in Lions of the Heart!

Test us out with a toon on Xegony when you get a chance!

Sunday afternoon 129 toons online today.

Xegony had a little mini crash this afternoon we went from 83 online to 20 minutes after the crash 62 online and within an hour 85 toons online.

Even going by the zones folks are it is hard to see who is or isnt afk. So I thought I would mention those numbers since it gives a better idea of active toons online.

139 toons online today. Defintitely seeing a spike due to "stay at home" over our regular 100-110 ish online.

We would love you to try us out with a test character on Xegony and see if our guild environment and atmosphere is something you would enjoy.

While we are a very large casual guild size is not everything. See if we would be a good fit for you overall.

Thanks for taking a look at us!

Lions are happy to have you join us and we also would like to advise folks test us out with a toon. See if what we say about Lions seems true or good for you.

Also please be aware of guilds that may play fast and lose with descriptions as most active guild etc... also check out a guilds reputation. Lions has a bad apple or two out there who left the guild but the overwhelming comments about us will reflect our honest recruiting and friendly play styles.

There are many good guilds on Xegony besides Lions but do your research on guild ads that seem to good to be true.

87 toons logged back in within 5 or 6 minutes after the crash. I am guessing the rest were afk.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE JOINING A GUILD TO AVOID SURPISES

Remember check out guilds and their claims before committing. That includes checking Lions out in advance.

One thing I suggest doing before joining a guild is do a /who all on the guild. You do this by enclosing the guild name in quotes and do a /who like normal with all at the end to indicate all zones.

For searching on Lions do /who "Lions of the Heart" all.

Now this will show you up to 20 toons from a guild or less if they don't have 20 online. But it is a good piece of information to have before you approach a guild to join it.


If you are looking for raids ask what raids they have completed.


Ask if you can drop a toon in the guild not as a commitment but just to pop one in and see what their active roster is like. Let them know you will be deguilding the toon after a bit then thinking about whether you will join. This makes it easier and sets expectations.


Most guilds will be very upfront and honest in their recruiting process but occasionally some guilds are less so. Be aware and don't be fooled.

Lions is not a raid guild but when joining a raid guild please take the preceding post in this thread to heart. Check out guilds as best you can before joining.

Just to be clear we are not a raid guild but we do run raids on grouper content for things like Hunter Achievments and gear. We just don't consider those real raids. Fun but not real raids.

We have been getting a lot of folks joining as of late and we are happy to provide a home to all those folks returning to the game during the hard times we are all trying to get through. EQ and Lions will try to at least bring some fun to everyone

Slow afternoon 72 toons online and of course some are afk.

When you log in to see "server coming down in 3 minutes"

10 am est and 59 toons online. 15 sitting in pok atm.

121 toons online this afternoon.

Almost 7 pm est.. 109 toons online.

Beware of Pork Chop guilds.

Drop a toon in a guild and see what it is like first. Especially before you ever server transfer to join them unless you are talking about a high end/high profile raid guild.

Looking for a casual guild? Make a toon on xegony and ask for an invite to Lions to check us out. We fully support folks seeing if we are a good fit before they commit.
