The rest of the guild is full of very friendly, very active and helpful players. I was never left to suffer alone - in fact any time that I needed help I actually had too many people volunteer! Overlord is without a doubt the guild to join if you're looking for a great Ashes experience.
We are more than just your average hard-core Guild -- we go above and beyond what most Guilds strive to offer. Individually we are strong, together we are overwhelming. We build long-lasting friendships, participate in competitions and attend all events. We do ask that you use Discord (voice) for communication and dedicate a minimum of forty-hours a week in game as we obtain server firsts. Brace yourself, this is not going to be half-ass’ed. Above all, have fun and invite your friends!
What sets this guild apart from many others are (in no apparent order):
1. The community: there are the combat members, the economic members, and the community members. So there’s a little something for everyone. If you want to feel out the guild with no commitment? Join the community group!
2. The organization: I’ve never seen a guild set up as thoroughly as Overlord before. The charter, the charter, planning, and information saving, etc. is phenomenal.
3. The people: there are members from all over the states and all ethnicities. They are all friendly and helpful. Several have world first experience in other MMOs. There are definitely skill differences among them but they don’t grief over it.
4. The commitment: there are strict requirements in joining the combat guild, this is true. However, life happens, there are times when you absolutely can’t make a raid time or miss out can’t make the time commitment; they are understanding. Just explain the situation. Many guilds will not tolerate or accommodate this.
5. Fairness. No one in the guild is treated better or worse then the others, this is something that’s extremely rare and highly appreciated.
6. Activity: the discord is highly active and a fun place to be. Whether it’s in the text or voice chats. There is usually someone in it through the day. Also, many of them are playing other games and MMOs. There are a few upcoming MMOs releasing in February that many in the guild are planning on starting. There are no requirements to join these games and you can attend as a community member.
7. These are but to name a few, there are many more. I hope to whomever of those who read this far whether you join Overlord or not join a good guild and have a glorious time in Ashes, I know I will!
Rise from the Ashes
A couple of my friends and I were researching guilds back at the beginning of A1 and stumbled upon Overlord. We reached out and got to speak to the leader 1 on 1 in a vc about what Overlord plans to achieve in Ashes, as well as get a general feel of the guild, which I personally feel is a nice touch vs just joining a recruitment post discord link and reading a wall of text.
The leader is extremely dedicated and has put a ton of time to build Overlord and set the guild up for success once Ashes launches. The organization and planning really is a step above all others and is truly impressive. For those who are hardcore raiders, you will appreciate seeing the extent of thought put into the plans for the raids and achieving the goals of the guild. For those who love crafting more than raiding, there is a place for you here too, as there is an economic side of the guild that has just as much thought put into it as the combat side.
The community is also great, the guildmates are super friendly, welcoming, and a joy to chat/joke around with. Overlord gives me that old school community feel that is hard to find in the newer types of MMOs, which I truly enjoy and have missed. There is more to Overlord than just people you will only chat with in game. The Guild hosts weekly hangouts in discord, every monthly dev stream we get together to watch it as a community and chat about the progress shown, and every now and then there are raffles for fun prizes (won myself a pretty cool tumbler on the last one).
I highly recommend checking out Overlord and seeing if the guild is a good fit for you, and I look forward to welcoming any who join us.
I’ve also been lucky enough to maintain decades-long friendships with most of the people I've met along the way. I think that’s extremely important when you are offering so much of your personal time to play with people.
Overlord is very much a community. The group is rounded out by many talented, dedicated, creative, and strategic minds. We support movie nights, and gaming groups based on interests, as well as shoot the gruff in our lobby and guild chats.
You’ll find no elitists here, but you will find a bunch who are extremely dedicated to AoC, and our inevitable successes.
We appreciate your dedication and contribution to the guild and fully expect to be a top-tier formidable power on the playing field.
Our collective are creative, intelligent, kind, helpful and determined. There’s time to work and time to play and we want to incorporate all these things and build a strong foundation for years to come here.
We hope you will consider Overlord home as we venture into A2 beyond release.
Please feel free to join our open AOC Discord channels and get to know us.

MEMNAUK. The Devil.
Not to mention, everyone is very passionate about Ashes and are prepared to give it their all when the game actually comes out. Gets me really excited to be playing with such an amazing group of people.
I hope to meet any new members to this great guild!
They are great people. With a very active and dedicated leader. They are always in voice chats in the discord playing many different kinds of games and building bonds. They are pretty fun to hang with and are very chill too.
I joined Overlord during the Alpha 1 test because there was people from this guild who were helping random people out even though they were not inside the same guild. I felt like I would have a good time also helping others with them.
After joining, I discovered passionate people with a good sense of professionalism. They have a clear vision and have a plans to polish and improve the guild model as we get closer to AoC launch. Overlord is not just for the sweaty raiders, no life lifeskillers or big ego PvPers. It's a place where people work together to achieve something greater than themselves.
I'm looking forward to see Overlord shape itself into a force capable of influencing the fate of Verra !
After stumbling on Overlord, I quickly joined as one of the very first members to alleviate my worry. Nearly two years later now, and I can confidently state that nobody should have the same worry I once had. I've played a few games with the guild now to include WoW Classic, and I couldn't be happier. The community of Overlord is one unlike any other, who support each other and reward hard work.
Going into the release of WotLK Classic I achieved realm first level 80 hunter, which would not have been possible without the support of Overlord. There were multiple times where I was tempted by the Sandman to take just a small nap, but the party I was in still carried me through the dungeon grind till I caught my second wind.
I still have a few goals in WotLK Classic, and am able to meet or progress towards each and every one of them thanks to likeminded people in the Overlord community. I can't wait to see that translate over to the release of AoC as we strive for all our guild goals.
If you relate to my summarized story at all, I highly recommend joining the Overlord family!
If you're shopping for a guild for AOC and want to find a community that's mature, ready to get stuff done and have fun, then take a hard look at Overlord
