Legendary Maniacs [UOF] is a guild doing the best it can to live up to its name. Full of people who share a self-proclaimed "slight edge of craziness," they have stayed together in-game since May, 2006. During that time, they have also met up outside of the game. The leader has hosted various members at his house for gaming marathons and socializing. Also, UOF has put together and broadcast some radio programs. This close-knit group has grown, and now has over 90 members. The guild tag [UOF] stands for "Unity of Friends," which fits because they stay together as friends and think of each other as family. Just as important, they can be themselves and fully enjoy the game, maniacs or not.
UOF members believe everyone should join their guild. They are active, busy, hilarious, and work hard to keep everyone in the guild happy. Officers are there for members to talk about what bothers them, and the guild comes together to try and solve the problem. When they organize events, they look beyond the guild and attempt to get the alliance involved. The larger numbers allows everyone to enjoy the events that much more.
For missions, they take a mostly relaxed approach, placing no particular priority on achievements other than winning and getting the bonus if they're already on the way. They love Vizunah Square, with the streaming mobs of Afflicted, hundreds strong, all done in thirty minutes. This chaotic mass of monsters often matches the mood of the guild. To defeat any enemy giving you trouble, they recommend including at least one interrupter in the party, usually a Ranger of Mesmer dedicated to Monk shutdown. A Minion Master is another essential facet of a successful group, especially when fighting large mobs. The horde of minions simply adds to the overall effect of chaotic craziness.
Legendary Maniacs has come a long way since its most embarrassing moment-it almost ran out of members. The guild was practically empty, but a concentrated effort resulted in a gigantic comeback. Now, the members fill the hall with constant activity, and they think that becoming Guild of the Week, after overcoming such a decline, is their most heroic accomplishment so far.
