Cyrus was founded in March 2009, and is currently playing Final Fantasy XIV whilst also looking ahead to games such as Camelot Unchained in the future.

Server: Cerebus EU
===================
FINAL FANTASY XIV
===================
Final Fantasy XIV has come as something of a surprise to us! It is not traditionally the kind of game we would set up in, however with the absolutely barren state of good PvP MMOs out there at the moment it has made us turn to something a little bit different. We have raided before as a guild, both in Rift and World of Warcraft, however this has always been considered secondary to our PvP adventures.
Cyrus in a Final Fantasy game? Never in a million years. Oh, wait...
With that said, there is a lot of potential in this game. It has a long window before any meaningful competition is released (Wildstar, TESO, EQNext) and it is generally a lot of fun to play! We plan to create a non-hardcore guild and progress towards the raid content, and also keep an eye on the PvP developments coming out in later patches (Rated content AND Open World PvP? YES PLEASE!).
As ever, we will take our endeavours in FFXIV seriously. We are a progression-based guild and always like to set new targets and objectives to work towards together. While we describe ourselves for this game as non-hardcore, this certainly isn't ever going to be a casual guild, and our normal operating rules apply - especially the usage of Teamspeak!
We are located on the Cerberus [EU] realm.
===================
GUILD HISTORY
===================
We started life in Warhammer Online in March 2009 (originally called Exodus) and became the largest and most active Order PvP guild on the Karak-Norn server. We played a central role in co-ordinating our faction, hosting cross-alliance community initiatives to try and bring the many guilds and alliances on the server together in an attempt to take the fight to the numerically superior Destruction side.

We later moved to Aion where we became a top 10 ranked Elyos PvP guild on the Perento server. Intending to pursue our enjoyment of PvP, we were one of the primary guilds in the early days of the game, however the severe PvE grind and lack of meaningful PvP content meant that our player base changed somewhat and we became more of a PvE guild with occasional raids in the Abyss.

In Rift we combined these two playstyles and became unquestionably the most successful and talked about PvP guild on our server, all the while maintaining competitive PvE raids that cleared all content in the game. We were yet again the leading guild when it came to organising our faction, setting up server-wide PvP events to increase participation and enjoyment for all in the game.
Such was our success in the PvP lakes that we eventually ran out of opposition to fight against, so we transferred servers looking for new challenges. Our influence was so great that most guilds from both factions followed our move, and within a few weeks our previous server was transformed from the busiest EU PvP server to a trial realm!

After a brief spell in SWTOR, which was completely awful, we moved to World of Warcraft (Horde, Stormscale) in January 2012. While we obviously didn’t find any Open World PvP, we did enjoy the challenges of running three Rated Battlegrounds teams, with the occasional Raid to pass the time. During our first full Rated Battlegrounds season we managed to take a group of mostly new-to-WoW players to a legitimate 2200+ rating, something that was not so simple to do as a guild in this game.
Eventually, having only Rated Battlegrounds was not enough to maintain our interest in WoW, and our community became frustrated and splintered. We (slightly dramatically) decided to call it a day, and now look to the future.

===================
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
===================
Cyrus is looking for mature, highly active and friendly players to join our ranks. In Final Fantasy XIV, we are looking to create another successful guild with solid progression and a shared objective. We want dedicated and reliable players who are in it for the end-game, but who are equally concerned with the friendships they make along the way. No elitism, no egos, and plenty of patience, reality and understanding.
Members should be especially interested in raiding progression as well as any future PvP additions, and take the time to learn their class and skills, and how they can best benefit their guild groups. Being an excellent individual player is great, but it is far more important to be an excellent team player, to follow targets and instructions, and to know when to stop joking around and focus. Your goals should be that of the guild as a whole, not of yourself.
Members are required to use Teamspeak and have a working microphone. We welcome members from all over the world, however we do ask that in guild chat and Teamspeak English is used at all times.
Please read our Guild Code for further information!
===============
WHAT WE CAN OFFER
===============
Cyrus is a focused, progression-based guild for mature, skilled and team-orientated players. We offer Teamspeak voice communications with a family-friendly atmosphere, as well as our own website which is used to organise pretty much everything we do. We have a long-established leadership who is committed to getting the most out of our members and ensuring everyone is working towards their own and the common goals of the guild.
We have a strong community spirit, and thanks to our successful recruitment in previous games, a very welcoming attitude towards new members of any experience level so long as they are prepared to put the time in.
Our current ingame focus is to establish a core raiding team.
===========
HOW TO APPLY
===========
If this sounds like your kind of guild, then please check out our website, read our Guild Code, and feel free to apply on our forums. Please also feel free to include any questions you may have with your application.
Thanks for reading!
Comments
Most of our previous guild members are still levelling, as they were unable to purchase the game until quite late (as I mentioned in the first post, we didn't think we would come to this game!). They should start hitting level 50 over the next 7 to 10 days. However with a few at level 50 we are starting to plan our 8 man groups and gearing progression in readiness for future content updates.
This is a perfect time to join us if you are currently looking to farm Tomestones and start your endgame progression. If you are already ahead of us but want to join a serious, stable guild who will be raiding both 8 and 24 man content in the future (and running PvP), feel free to also apply, but you will be asked to farm with us until we catch up.
We will run and organise three 8 man raid groups. There will be no difference in priority, and each will contain a guild officer. As things stand we will need the following classes to complete these guild groups:
REQUIREMENTS
Bard x 2
Paladin x 1
Scholar x 2
Summoner x 1
Warrior x 3
White Mage x 1
Black Mage, Dragoon, and Monk are currently not required, however feel free to apply incase our situation changes. Also feel free to apply on any class for future PvP!
Many thanks!
As a member of this guild for some time now I can tell you we look for good ppl who wanna achieve the best, without getting elitist or hardcore. We are close to getting everything set up and get ready for endgame so if you are still looking for a good group of ppl to play with this is the perfect time to join.

1x Warrior for our first raid group. Should be a good communicator, highly active player and confident in their class.
1x Summoner for our second raid group. We have changed the composition of our second group to include a Summoner, so show us what you can do!
1x Paladin for our third raid group. Should be good at researching tactics, vocal on Teamspeak, and not afraid of the number 3 - it's meaningless.
1x Bard for either our 2nd or 3rd raid group. Should be vocal, and know how to use Silence!
