The appropriately named Droknars Arena Dogs [DAD] was founded by a core group of players who spent most of their time in Deldrimor Arena, a PvP zone originally located at Droknar's Forge. Although the arena has since been moved, DAD continues to hope and pray to Balthazar for the glorious day when the arena will be returned to its original location.
DAD was founded in the fall of 2005 with the intention of becoming a PvP guild. However, as it evolved, the guild found itself leaning more towards cooperative play. In its current form, DAD has a large membership consisting of a wide range of ages and interests. DAD thinks of itself as a family, and loves to help out members.
The main guild philosophy is a simple yet powerful "have fun." Leaders work to instill a sense of pride and competitiveness in the roster while reinforcing the age-old motto, "winning isn't everything. Win or lose, it's okay as long as you have fun."
The guild's website is a major source of pride to DAD. Designed by a professional web designer, the site offers many sections and special features, including a featured member of the month, screenshots of the week, and the roleplaying-themed "Chronicles of DAD." The guild also has two voice-chat servers available for members of the guild and alliance.
DAD averages 80 to 85 members at all times, even with a policy of removing members who have stayed inactive for three weeks or more. The guild has been so successful it has grown into four guild-sections contained in one alliance. Each section has its own leader and guild hall, but all sections are united under the Luxon banner and belong to the same alliance.
