The KGB Oracle Forums KGB National Announcements, News, and Help The KGB Sentinel KGB History: The PGC (Pacific Guilds Coalition)

On May 26th of 1998, the largest and most powerful Guild Coalition was born to fight the forces of Evil and Lameness. The three largest Guilds (KGB, XLORDS, and CSE) joined a common stone to combine their strength and destroy Evil once and for all. The battles were epic in their scope and size and nothing has equaled it to that point.

Honor Guards from the Member Guilds met in the Castle of Lord British to form the Largest and most powerful coalition in History to that point. You can see the KGB Honor Guard in their blue and red dress uniforms:

The Coalition would be short lived, lacking organization and a clear focus. Many of the member Guilds had friends on both sides of the conflict. Many PGC members refused to fight certain enemies and soon internal conflicts developed. A organized structure was not developed and the proposed government did not work. With accusations of inactivity and misconduct flying, KGB resigned from the coalition on July 5th of 1998. The breakup of KGB that ensued after that point was costly to the members of all involved. Careers were destroyed and many feel it lead to the XLORDS departure from Sosaria. Just a few days later, KGB's infamous Paladins retired from Sosaria, to move on to other callings.

The founding ideals behind the PGC were good ones. But the foundation and leadership were not strong enough to support this tremendous task. Most of these founding fathers of the PGC have passed on as have many of its membership. I owe it to them to complete the task that the PGC set out to accomplish long ago. I owe it to the people that had their careers destroyed and to the Guilds that disbanded in the aftermath of this noble cause gone wrong. I intend to seek those who share these goals and those that have the courage to make a final stand against Evil. Many of you will be leaving our world for the land of Norrath in the near future. What better way to spend your final days than in the ultimate battle of Good vs Evil. When we have won, I will disband PGC, and it will have a positive place in history. Noone will ever forget the day that the forces of Good joined forces to vanquish Evil.

I stand before you today at a difficult time for the forces of good and defenders of the virtues. Evil Guilds have overrun the land and we struggle to keep them in check. Guilds like Nightmare Clan, DF, Punishment of Asia, ClanBlood and their Assassin Guild plague the innocent and make our shard a difficult place to live. We all share a common purpose in destroying those that embrace Evil and all that it stands for. Evil has run free for far to long and I feel it is time to finish what was begun long ago.
