Hello Everyone, Hydra from Launch is officially returning to Archeage, with some minor changes to the leadership and general memberbase (It's mostly all fresh but we do have some old faces).
Due to RL pressures and increasing hostility from many big guilds we were forced into hiding and in one fell swoop our numbers were scattered to the winds, some of us left, some of us returned, some of us never left. That is why some of our old members are in CD and some of them are in CAD, also some in Neo.
With our return we once again will continue the fun, however on a much smaller scale than before, As a guild we are remodeling our image and what we as a guild stand for. There will be no KoS list, We will cooperate with all guilds in events. We used to be the cause of drama, now we're the place to go if you want to escape drama and rules. No petty guild politics, No Kos List, No arguments and drama for playing the game your way.
Heres a general list of the type of players we're after:
Fanatical members
Semi Casual PvP'ers
Traders
People who can have a laugh and play for fun
For invite or more info whisper:
Rip
Andreas
Hydra have and are still committed to allowing our members the freedom to play and enjoy the game as they see fit. This is one of the things that I've always seen as making Hydra somewhat special as we try not to make to many rules to limit what our members can and can't do. Original Hydra for example had a grand total of zero laws... New Hydra needs some laws to keep the peace however, This list of laws will pretty much be 2 laws and a few sublaws explaining what to do in certain situations.
Rule list:
Rule 1:No scamming (This includes land scamming for selling as well for buying, no giving 50% of gold then running off when they demolish).
Rule 2: No Exploits: Not sure how but if there is a way of exploiting, don't do it
Sublaws:
Sublaw 1: During a trade run, PvP event or any situation where 1 member of Hydra dislikes someone and has them on their personal KoS list they must work with that person if they are in the Hydra raid and not do anything to put the whole raid in danger (Leaving raid to PK them and steal their pack for example)Sublaw 2: If you are in a raid and one of your friends from another guild attacks us or we attack them, you are expected to assist your raid party in their efforts.
Feel free to check out our unofficial song, It sums up what we're about reasonably well ^^

No KOS List?
In Hydra we believe in not forcing your members to do things they do not want to do. We also do not limit our members from refraining them from killing people, as such personal vendettas and KoS's are allowed as we will not order someone not to kill someone that they want to kill if they've got bad blood between them. However on a guild wide level we have NO KoS list. We refuse to be drawn into guild politics and petty squabbles between whole guilds nor as a guild leader would I be the kind to force all of my members to fight or KoS another guild in a "war". If you die to one of us in game it is not a deceleration of war or down to a KoS list, each member is responsible for who they kill. CAD v Carpe?
We don't care, We just... don't care. Reading about it in faction chat? Don't care. Bragging about 1 side beat the other? Don't care. Don't care don't care don't care. But with Hydra's spirit of personal freedom every member of the guild is allowed to have favorites and preferences and so some members might be Pro CAD, some might be Pro CD. But really, who cares?

Being the first guild to use a catchphrase and make it well known across the server.
Partaking in the "Stand in a queue" Firran questline at Headstart where that 1 quest could only be taken by 1 of the 1000 people in the queue at the time so everyone made a queue for QueueAge: Here
