Founded by the appropriately named Father, TOG (The Older Gamers) recently celebrated its fourth birthday. The guild spans twenty-four games, with Guild Wars as one of the many successful guild divisions. A multi-national gaming community with an ever-evolving roster, they have so many applicants that inactive members are periodically removed from the guild, with a standing invitation to return. Even with this restriction, the Guild Wars division hovers at the hard cap of 100 members.
TOG has one simple yet crucial requirement for membership. Recruits must be at least 25 years old to join the guild. As such, TOG is structured to accommodate all the stresses of adult life. Even if you have a full-time job and a family, the guild provides a stress-free environment where adults can relate to each other and share experience. If your play-time is limited due to the real-life responsibilities, you're past the quarter-century mark, and you yearn to game with people who understand your '80s pop-culture references, TOG might be the perfect guild for you.
The TOG website accommodates players from many different popular games and has a reputation for maturity and useful contributions. Members agree to follow a prescribed code of ethics, and are also generally friendly and helpful to members and non-members alike. In fact, it's not uncommon for TOG members to observe local chat in towns and outposts for the purpose of assisting or politely answering questions.
Currently, The Older Gamers consists of over eleven thousand registered members and is structured into 24 main game divisions. The community grows every day. Although members hope that TOG will one day be recognized as an international authority on games, the guild knows only that the future of TOG is something they can't predict, but eagerly look forward to.
