Welcome to Retribution (RET). RET is one of the founding Fury guilds in the game World of Midgard. We are the longest running guild in the entire game. RET is often the first to experience new game content. We have a dual focus in the game. First our mission is to help grow the game. To do this we assist new players and make it enjoyable for them. We offer helpfull advice and assist where we can.Secondly we aim to be the best high end Raiding guild in the game. Our players often top the leaderboards. We aim to clear all end-game dungeons, raids, and bring down all World bosses. If this sounds good, then perhaps RET is the guild you have been waiting for.
What is the meaning of "retribution", or why do we call our guild this? The standard dictionary meaning of retribution refers to either punishment or vengence. So, how does this apply within the world of midgard? It begins with the war between the Fury and Alliance factions. Over the years the evil Alliance hordes have destroyed our homes, our way of life, and killed many of our comrads. So we the Fury seek retribution.
RETs motto is "From our ashes we shall rise with Retribution". This ties into the symbol of our guild which is the phoenix. In Greek mythology, a phoenix or phenix (Greek: φοῖνιξ phoinix) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. In any mmorpg the reality is that players come and go and WoM is no exception. So as some players leave, new ones join and the cycle of battle between the Fury and Alliance continues. With WoM being in a constant state of Beta for several years our guild has had times with plenty of active players online and on the flip side we have had times when hardly any active players could be found. But through it all RET has persevered much like the legendary phoenix. From our ashes we shall rise with retribution.
Retribution: a short poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
“Though the mills of God grind slowly;
Yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting,
With exactness grinds He all.”
