Honoring Our First Guild: Hero

Introducing Our First Guild Spotlight

As we launch our new Guild Spotlight series, we couldn’t be more excited to share the story of our first featured guild. The Hero Guild exemplifies the kind of dedication, camaraderie, and creativity that makes our community so special. Whether it’s supporting players from around the globe or crafting cool experiences in-game & on Discord, Hero Guild went above and beyond to make their mark in AdventureQuest Worlds – and the Design Notes, too!

Hero: A Global Force for Good

Founded in 2013, Hero is a guild that has grown to include 400-500 members from all corners of the world. This diverse community of players is united by their commitment to helping each other, whether they’re seasoned veterans or newcomers just starting their adventures. Hero’s Discord server features an in-game support ticket system that’s always buzzing with activity, as members eagerly lend a hand to those in need.

But what truly sets Hero apart is their ability to capture the spirit of their guild through stunning screenshots. Their submissions showcased moments of celebration, unity, coffee!, and joy that perfectly portrays why their guild is so special. One image in particular stood out so much that we had to do a double-take… it’s the header image up there, and it’s so impressive that we thought it was a HeroMart poster! Can you believe it was crafted by one of our talented players?! Job well done to the artist Jon_Eve, and to the Guild Hero: you’ve set the bar high right from the get-go!

Guild Spotlight Series: Celebrating the AdventureQuest Community

Share your Guild with the Artix Community!

In the sprawling world of Lore, Guilds are the lifeblood of our amazing community. Guilds bring players together to conquer challenges and forge lifelong friendships. Whether you're a group of seasoned veterans or a band of fresh adventurers, every Guild has a story worth sharing. 

That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our new “Guild Spotlight” series, where we’ll be shining a light on the incredible Guilds that make our game worlds vibrant and alive. This is your chance to share your Guild’s journey with our entire community, showcasing your creativity, camaraderie, and the unique spirit that sets your Guild apart from all the others in Lore!

Spotlight Details

Over the next couple of months, we’ll be selecting Guilds to feature on our Design Notes, giving you the platform to share your Guild’s story with the world. However, this is not a competition – it’s a celebration of community! We’re looking for Guilds of all sizes and types, from hardcore gamers to casual players and everybody in between.

How To Enter

For your Guild to be considered, provide the following:

1. Guild Name

2. Founding Date

3. Guild Leader

4. Guild Officers

5. Guild Size

6. Guild Requirements (optional)

7. Current Guild Members (optional)

8. A Brief Description: In 1-4 sentences, tell us what makes your Guild special. It could be a story, a motto, a battle cry, a poem, a motivational quote, a call to arms, or whatever you think best represents your Guild. Get creative, comrades!  

9. Screenshot(s): Snap 1-4 screenshots of your Guild in action! Whether it’s a shot from your latest boss battle, a Guild meeting, or an epic moment you’ve captured, we want to see the essence of your Guild. Already have screenies to share? Great! We will happily accept past and present (and um future?!) screenshots. 

10. Submit: After you’ve collected all the above, submit everything in the comments on this Artix.com post, or on the Guild Spotlight Discord Channel here.

Why Participate?

The reward for being featured is simple yet significant: your Guild will be immortalized on our Design Notes, a place of honor that every player can see worldwide. This spotlight is about more than just recognition; it’s about sharing the diverse stories and experiences that make our community great! There’s no grand prize because the real treasure here is getting to celebrate your amazing Guild (and maybe you’ll recruit some new members, too). 

Time To Shine, Guilds!

We can’t wait to see the stories, screenshots, and creativity you’ll share with our community. Your Guild is a key part of what makes Lore a living, breathing world, and we’re thrilled to give you and your guildmates the chance to shine! So, rally your members, capture those epic moments, and send in your submissions! 

On behalf of the entire Artix Entertainment team, we cannot wait to showcase the best of our gaming community, one Guild at a time!

Battle on,
Beleen, Artix, Alina, and the AE team
