Tell us about your guild.
Militant is an international, English-speaking Black Zone guild focused primarily on all sizes of ZvZ and PvP content. Our roster includes both veteran and newer PvP-centric players seeking competitive, end-game content. When success is measured by the tears of our enemies, Militant always wins.
What sort of activities do you focus on?
We engage in small, medium, and large-scale ZvZ. Our members regularly roam for objectives, fights, and ganking. The guild typically masses once or twice per day during our main Albion Americas timers. As a full-loot split guild, members are rewarded for their victories through large loot payouts.
What sort of members are you looking for?
We welcome players of all levels who share a passion for ZvZ and PvP. Newer players are encouraged to apply if they demonstrate the Militant three A's:
- Activity – Show up and support the guild when you're online
- Attitude – Be strong enough to avoid rage quitting after being killed or mentally breaking when receiving constructive criticism
- Ability – Have the general gaming ability to hit a few buttons in combination at the right time

Where is your guild primarily located in the Outlands?
Militant is currently based in Fort Sterling (The Best City). We are the Fort Sterling breakers of chains and destroyers of rental empires. When you choose to enter the bear’s den, you do so at your own risk.
Do you have any rivalries or ongoing quarrels with other guilds?
Any and all reds. We don't discriminate, and we don't make non-aggression pacts outside of potential coordination for CTA objectives. We do things how we want, when we want.
What are some of your most memorable battles or activities?
Militant has fought and won multiple wars. We stand for the people and for content – we are never renters or landlords to others. One of our most defining campaigns was The War in the North – a five-month war now immortalized in a full-length movie:
What does your guild do for fun?
We enjoy our tight-knit community of like-minded gamers. We love to ZvZ, trash talk enemies, and scoop up all that juicy loot.
What is your guild's approach to the game?
ZvZ content is king. Individual skill gets you kills, but teamwork and coordination win the fights.
Do you have an overarching philosophy?
Militant's #1 priority is content and fights. We reject the rental empire mindset, the avoidance of combat, and the queue-to-win garbage. If we need to war, then we war – and we don’t quit until our enemies break.
What are your goals for the future?
- 2+ million players killed and 50 billion+ kill fame
- Drink the Tears of Our Enemies
- Season 27: Silver/Gold rebuild
- Season 28: Gold/Crystal – by smashing everyone we can
What is your ultimate goal in Albion?
To disrupt the status quo and play the game as we see fit. Militant will win or die trying, and we always take care of our own.
