The Blue Tower

Not all early guilds of Tibia were designed with the idea of helping their members, some seemed to be created to enrich their founders. The Blue Tower was one such guild which was founded by Rune, a sorcerer around March 7th, 1998. This guild was exclusively for Tibian sorcerers and allowed only a max of 12 people to join at a time.

Featuring a snazzy website with lots of animated graphics, the place was meant to entice others seeking power to join. Their hope was to amass power and be a strong force in the Tibian world. The guild had a protection pack with POD which meant that if they were attacked then the attacker would become an enemy of both guilds.

To join, you just had to be a sorcerer with a spare 1k lying around. By donating the money to the founder, you would automatically become a member. Those who were not sorcerers were excluded directly from joining but they could still become a “supporter” of the guild. Those who paid a nominal donation, usually 1k, would gain protection and be offered cheap rune pricing.

For reasons which should be obvious, the guild did not last long. They did manage to get 2 other members (Prophet, and Peon-Mage), as well as solicit 3500 in donations from other members of the community. For Rune it seems this guild creation paid of handsomely.
