The Teamwork Tycoons

One of the longest-running gaming guilds.
20+ Years together

I founded the “Blood Pledge”, aka Guild, in June on 06/01/2002. That’s twenty-plus years together with over 1,000+ members.

We have played together across the decades in games like Lineage, Lord of the Rings Online, World of Warcraft, Star Wars The Old Republic, Guild Wars 2, and so many more.
