WHAT IS PROJECT ANVIL?
- Project Anvil is a long-established, competitive guild built exclusively for Ashes of Creation, bringing together gaming veterans from a wide range of MMOs and genres.
- United under the Project Anvil banner, we're here to pursue our passion for Ashes of Creation and forge a legacy in the world of Verra.
- With Alpha 2 Phase 3 dropping on May 1st, we're rallying hard and preparing to dive deep into all the new features.
- Our team is hyped to explore, adapt, and master everything Verra throws at us — and we’re looking for like-minded, competitively minded OCE players to join us.
GUILD FOCUS
Our main large-scale goal is to take and control a castle node at release.
- Actively engage in all forms of PvP and PvE content.
- Continue to expand our crafting and economic team.
- Provide the necessary tools and support for our members to excel in-game.
- Above all, we create an environment where each member understands the impact they have on Anvil’s success and culture.
WHAT WE OFFER
Experienced, engaged leadership carefully chosen for their expertise both in and outside of gaming.
- A quality-over-quantity approach — we prioritize efficiency, commitment, and genuine camaraderie.
- A respectful, honorable approach — we respect our competition and avoid exploitative practices.
- An active, organized Discord for coordination, planning, and a solid dose of OCE banter.
> As of Phase 1 we have completed all content, won wars against guilds more than twice our size,
& become one of the two known OCE guilds to secure Mayorship of a node on the OCE server Vyra.
> As of Alpha 2 Phase 2, we've continued to build our reputation through dedication and teamwork.
We've conquered endgame content, held our ground against larger guilds, and proven ourselves as a respected force on the new mega server Vyra.
Our efforts have earned us victories in both PvP and PvE, solidifying our commitment to growth and competition.
> With Phase 3 on the horizon, Ashes of Creation is set to expand with new world zones, enhanced node systems, additional playable races, advanced archetypes, and deeper combat mechanics.
Naval content, castle sieges, and underwater combat will add more dimensions to the game!
While guild systems, auctions, and transmog features deepen customization.
This is just the beginning for Project Anvil — Forge Your Legacy!

Just a few of the quotes ive received since joining Project Anvil. But dont take my word for it, when interviewed 9/10 Dentists reccomend Anvil.
I was the "Were you always so well endowed?"

One of the first things that stood out to me was how structured and well-led this guild is. The leadership team isn’t just there to give orders or make themselves look important—they actively engage with members, listen to feedback, and ensure that the guild remains aligned with its goals. There’s a clear sense of direction, and it’s refreshing to be in a group where leadership doesn’t feel like a dictatorship but rather a collaborative effort where the voices of members actually matter. Decisions aren’t just made behind closed doors and handed down without explanation. Instead, there’s discussion, strategy, and a real effort to keep things fair and beneficial for everyone involved.
Another thing that really sets this guild apart is the sense of camaraderie among its members. In many MMOs, it’s common to join a guild, see a few greetings in chat, and then feel like you’re just another name on a roster. That’s not the case here. People actually take the time to get to know each other. Whether it's casual conversations in Discord, running content together, or just hanging out in voice chat, there’s a real effort to build connections beyond just gameplay. I’ve met some incredible people here, and it’s made my time in Ashes of Creation far more enjoyable than it would have been if I were playing solo or in a less engaged community.
The level of organization within this guild is something I really appreciate. Events are planned out in advance, and whether it's PvP battles, dungeon runs, or gathering and crafting initiatives, there’s always something to participate in. The leadership team makes sure there’s a balance between structured events and spontaneous fun, so it never feels like a job, but there’s still a level of commitment and coordination that ensures we get things done efficiently. If you're someone who enjoys being part of a guild that takes the game seriously while still maintaining a fun and relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to be.
One of the things I was worried about before joining was the balance between casual and hardcore players. In many guilds, you either have an ultra-hardcore atmosphere where you're expected to treat the game like a second job, or you have a completely casual group where no one really puts in the effort to progress. Project Anvil strikes a great balance between the two. There’s room for dedicated players who want to push content at a high level, but there’s also space for people who want to enjoy the game at their own pace without feeling pressured. It’s a really nice middle ground that accommodates different playstyles while keeping the guild progressing as a whole.
Another huge factor for me is the lack of unnecessary drama. Anyone who has been in MMO guilds for long enough knows how quickly things can spiral into chaos when egos clash or when leadership plays favorites. I’ve seen guilds implode over petty arguments, favoritism, or just poor management. That’s not an issue here. The leadership team does a great job at maintaining a mature and respectful environment. Conflicts are handled quickly and fairly, and there’s a genuine effort to ensure that everyone feels welcome. It makes a massive difference in the overall experience when you’re part of a guild where people respect each other and work together instead of constantly butting heads.
Another thing I want to highlight is the focus on teamwork. In Ashes of Creation, cooperation is key, whether it's in PvP, PvE, or even just managing the economy and resources within the guild. This guild excels at fostering teamwork. People share knowledge, resources, and strategies, and there’s a real sense of collective progress. No one is left behind, and even newer players who might not be as experienced in certain aspects of the game are given guidance and opportunities to improve. There’s no gatekeeping or elitism—just a shared goal of making the guild stronger as a whole.
I also want to mention the sheer variety of activities available. This isn’t a one-dimensional guild that only focuses on one aspect of the game. Whether you're into large-scale PvP, endgame raiding, crafting, gathering, or even just casual exploration, there’s something for you here. The guild’s leadership has done an amazing job at ensuring that no matter what your preferred playstyle is, there’s a way for you to contribute and feel like a valued member of the team.
Another thing that makes a big difference is the communication within the guild. The leadership team is transparent about what’s happening, whether it’s upcoming events, changes in guild structure, or plans for the future. There’s no guesswork involved—you always know where the guild is headed and how you can be a part of that journey. That level of transparency is something I really appreciate, and it makes a huge difference in how connected members feel to the guild’s overall mission.
Overall, I can’t recommend this guild enough. If you’re looking for a place where you’re more than just a number on a roster, where leadership actually cares about its members, where teamwork and camaraderie are prioritized, and where you can genuinely enjoy your time in Ashes of Creation without unnecessary drama or egos getting in the way, then this is the guild for you.
Whether you're a veteran MMO player or someone new to the genre, this guild has something to offer. You’ll find a supportive and active community, exciting and well-organized events, and a group of players who genuinely want to make the most out of the Ashes of Creation experience. I’ve had an amazing time here, and I have no doubt that anyone who joins will feel the same.
So if you're considering joining, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it.
Respect and tolerance for individuals, a diverse group of people allowed the freedom to be who they are. Good banter and even vegetarians are treated well!
Effort and capability is recognised. Even an arthritic old man, such as myself has their moments of infamy/achievement noted within the guild.
A leadership structure within enough resources and talent to cover the multiple admin, tasks and leading roles required of a competitive guild in an MMO, allowing the GM to gallivant with other GMs (or whatever he does with them).
Mistakes are acknowledged and used to spur improvements, although there is only so many times you can die to falling in the lava.
Seriously, a great guild to be in.
