Who we are
The Lastwolf Alliance is a casual dual Alliance of smaller guilds from both the Kurzick and Luxon factions, in the game Guild Wars developed by ArenaNet and published through NCSoft. Our members include many couples and families, and are generally a more mature crowd than the stereotypical gaming community. The lead guild are the Badwolf Corporation (Kurzick).
What is an Alliance?An alliance is a group of guilds that form a cartel (or confederation) to work together towards a common goal that may be difficult for a single guild to achieve. Alliances take the name of the founding guild, and the leader of that guild is also the leader of the alliance. No more than ten guilds can be in an alliance. Alliances can help each other gain faction points based on the actions of their members; they also represent an even larger group of familiar players with whom you can go adventuring. In Factions, alliances are aligned with either the Luxons or the Kurzicks and the most common reason for forming alliances is to faction farm on either side to compete for town control. |
The Past
The Lastwolf Alliance was originally formed on May 13, 2006 in response to a post on a Guild Wars message board which posed the question, “Why don’t smaller guilds and single players who feel disenfranchised by the alliance and faction farming / town control system band together?” That thread struck a chord within the community and received such an enthusiastic response that soon there were enough guilds and players interested in the idea to form both a Kurzick and a Luxon alliance. Thanks to the hard work of many individuals, both alliances grew, picking up new member guilds as well as individual players. Within a relatively short period of time, the forums were set up for our members to get to know each other and organize in-game events. Shared forum space helped to foster relations between the Kurzick and Luxon guilds and their members and made it easier to organize activities across faction lines.
The Present
Today we continue to welcome new members and look forward to meeting new allies from across all three Guild Wars campaigns. Though our forums have recently moved from their previous location, the spirit of cooperation and friendly, casual gameplay continues at our new home, where our members continue organizing events, including trips to the Fissure of Woe and the Underworld, the Domain of Anguish, the Deep, and Urgoz’s Warren, as well as organized trips through the storyline missions of Cantha, Elona, and Tyria to assist our members in obtaining Protector titles. In addition to these events, we routinely take advantage of special weekends put on by ArenaNet, whether it’s getting a chance to let some of our American and European players to explore the Fissure and the Underworld together, or teaming up for Canthan New Year quests and town celebrations. Currently we are anticipating the release of hard mode and preparing to help each other through whatever challenges this new form of gameplay presents.
The Future
With recent news of Eye of the North and the eventual release of Guild Wars 2, our members have started to consider what the future holds for our dual alliance. Plans to carry our community into the upcoming additions to the Guild Wars game world are starting now. We look forward to meeting the challenges posed by both GW:EN and GW2 with the same attitude of cooperative, friendly, casual play that has served us up to this point.
The Kurzick & Luxon ConflictThe conflict goes back two centuries, to the death of Emperor Angsiyan. Before that time, Kurzick and Luxons used to tolerate each other, and even cooperated. The Emperor's murderer Shiro Tagachi was brought to justice by the joined forces of the Kurzick champion Saint Viktor and the Luxon Champion Archemorus. Unfortunately both these champions were killed by the Jade Wind and the Kurzicks and the Luxons got into a fight over the circumstances of the event, both claiming the laurels for their people, which eventually sparked the war among them. Right after the war began the two sides also separated their habitats: The Kurzick entrenched in the Echovald while the Luxon settled in the Jade Sea area. Locations along the borderline between these regions, such as Fort Aspenwood, The Jade Quarry or the Harvest Temple in the Unwaking Waters are fiercly fought over until present day. Both factions have delegations (and even spies) in the court of their liege lord, the Emperor of Cantha. The Emperor manipulates both sides, keeping them in a stalemate to guarantee that neither gains supremacy over the other and that their never-ending squabble does not harm the empire. |
PVE & PVP
In general we are predominantly Player vs. Environment (PvE) based on both sides of the alliance, however, we have recently begun to move a little more into Player vs. Player (PvP), providing two official alliance teams for those who want to take PvP seriously - Heroes’ Ascent (HA) and Guild vs. Guild (GvG); while ensuring there's a healthy amount of interest for less competitive PvP gametypes, including Alliance Battles (AB) and Team Arenas (TA). We also support our members’ efforts on the newly-implemented Hero Battle ladder.
As of this writing the following members are in charge of our official teams:
- N/A Heroes’ Ascent team leader.
- Verak Dvorjak, Guild vs. Guild team leader.

Languages
The predominant language used by both alliances is English, but we have many members from around the world who can speak in various languages. Having members who can communicate in numerous different languages is just one of the many benefits of having a truly international alliance.
Det mest brugte sprog i begge alliancer er engelsk, men vi har mange medlemmer fra over alt i verden som kan tale forskellige sprog. Det at have medlemmer som kan kommunikere på flere forskellige sprog er bare en ud af mange fordele ved at have en sand international alliance.
La langue prédominante employée par les deux alliances est l'anglais, mais nous avons beaucoup de membres de partout dans le monde qui peut parler dans diverses langues. Avoir des membres qui peuvent communiquer dans de nombreuses différentes langues est juste un des nombreux avantages d'avoir une alliance véritablement internationale.
Die überwiegende Sprache, die durch beide Bündnisse verwendet wird, ist Englisch, aber wir haben viele Mitglieder um von der Welt, die in den verschiedenen Sprachen sprechen kann. Mitglieder zu haben, die in den zahlreichen unterschiedlichen Sprachen in Verbindung stehen können, ist gerade eins des vielen Nutzens des Habens eines wirklich internationalen Bündnisses.
كانت اللغة الساءده في كل من التحالفات الانكليزيه لكن لدينا الكثير من الاعضاء حول العالم الذين يتحدثون بلغات مختلفة. ان الاعضاء الذين يمكنهم الاتصال في العديد من لغات مختلفة هي مجرد واحدة من الكثير من المنافع التي حقا التحالف الدولي.
両方の同盟によって使用される優勢な言語は英語であるが、話すことができるかだれが様々な言語で私達は多くのメンバーを世界中から有する。多数の異なった言語で伝達し合うことができるメンバーを偽りなく国際的な同盟を持っていることの多くの利点のちょうど1 つである持っていることは。
두 연립 전부에 의해 사용된 우위한 언어는 영어이다, 그러나 누구가 각종 언어에서 말할 수 있는지 우리는 많은 일원이 세계적으로 있다. 수많은 다른 언어에서 교통할 수 있는 일원이 정말 국제적인 연립이 있는의 많은 이득의 다만 것이다 있는 것은.
两个同盟使用的语言主要是英语, 但我们也有许多来自世界各地的成员, 会讲各种语言。国际同盟的许多好处之一就是有能以其他语言沟通的成员。
השפה השולטת בה אנו משתמשים בשתי הבריתות הינה אנגלית, אך יש לנו אנשים מכל העולם המדברים בשפות שונות. היכולת של אנשים לתקשר במספר שפות שונות היא רק אחת התועלות של ברית בינלאומית.
Molempien allianssien hallitseva kieli on englanti. Jäsenet tosin ovat eripuolilta maailmaa ja näinollen puhuvat äidinkielenään monia muitakin kieliä, ja jäsenten monikielisyys on vain yksi tämän oikeasti kansainvälisen allianssin eduista.
Det mest använda språket i båda allianserna är engelska, men vi har många medlemmar från hela världen som kan tala olika språk. Att ha medlemmar som kan kommunicera på många språk är bara en av fördelarna med att ha en verkligt internationell allians.
Rules & Guidelines
We have no hard and fast rules above and beyond common courtesy and respect for your alliance-mates. Please make an effort to conduct yourself in a mature, friendly manner. Out of consideration for our minor members, please keep the language and tone of alliance chat at a reasonably kid-friendly level. Don’t mistake alliance chat for trade chat. Don’t spam or beg. Be mindful of the fact that this is a game and everyone is here to have fun and you will fit in fine!

Featured Text -- AboutUs is all about community. Building and sustaining community and communities on our wiki. We also can be partial towards high tech toys, including video games. So it's been fun watching the development of the LastwolfAlliance.net page over the last couple of days. Spearheaded by a group of loyal Guild Wars players, LastwolfAlliance.net is a website where the smaller guilds in the Guild Wars game environment have formed a couple of different alliances to help work for common goals inside of that gaming world. In it's way, these alliances are communities of gamers working towards a common gaming outcome. What's also incredible for the AboutUs faithful is the fact that several members of their community have now joined our community and worked together to build an incredible wiki page, complete with a history of the alliances, present and future outlooks, photos, rules and guidelines and more, creating along the way one of the most robust AboutUs pages to date.
