About Us

Upon first sight, Spiral Knights believe we are named after the famous "Aegis" shield. However, this is not the case, because we are not named after a virtual item, but a mythological shield worn by Athena. Now, the more modern concept of doing something "under someone's aegis" means doing something under the protection of a powerful, knowledgeable, or benevolent source.

Our name "Aegis Team" therefore means that we protect using knowledge and power.

We are a casual guild, dedicated to having fun, socializing, and making friends! We accept knights of all tiers and skill levels!

History

The Beginning

Aegis Team was started off by a small group of friends on August 23, 2011. Xxqwertyxx and Chrizmaniac jointly raised the resources required to found the guild and Xxqwertyxx formed it.

Later On

About a month after the guild was formed, Spongerino created his own Spiral Knights account, and eventually obtained the rank of guild master. Hitranger joined shortly after, and eventually obtained the rank of officer.

Advertising

Artistbma asked if he could make Aegis Team a page and so he did. The Aegis Team Wiki page grew through contributions from Artistbma and Chrizmaniac. Artistbma also created the "Aegis Team recruitment thread". The guild page and forum thread greatly contributed to the growth of Aegis Team.

A Step Forward

The forums thread started off slow, people posting an application about once every week or two. Then gradually, more and more applications showed up. Aegis Team's population grew. Aegis Team recruited members of all tiers and skill levels. Many members also invited their friends into Aegis Team. Eventually, the Aegis Team became more popular and well-known.

Recruiting Campaign

Chrizmaniac created a theme song for the guild and let everyone listen to it. We all liked it, and Chrizmaniac put it on the wiki page. This video also included a picture of our official guild emblem. Chrizmaniac decided to make a trailer for the guild after the guild masters agreed to hold a recruiting campaign starting July 1st 2012. The trailer featured members running in the clockworks, playing Lockdown, and having fun. Little did we know, we had just created the very first Spiral Knight's Guild Trailer in existence.

The Great Aegis Team

Aegis Team received many more applications to join with the debut of the trailer. We grew to a great 70+ members. But the History isn't over. New members come often. Aegis Team has been growing slowly but surely, and to this day, it is full of loyal, active, and sociable members.

Dormancy

The "Elite Four," which are Chrizmaniac, Spongerino, Candy, and Vegan decided to dissolve Aegis Team as of November, 10, 2012 due to the inactivity of the Elite Four.The Aegis Team membership transferred to an ex-Aegis Team officer guild, "Ominous." Aegis Team lived on as the members of the Elite 4. When the time comes, Aegis Team will rise again.

Renaissance

Aegis Team comes back for its second anniversary August 22, 2013. Aegis Team continues to lead active, sociable and skilled members to an awesome experience of fun and friendship! Our return video is found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXoWSwTIdug

To Join

To join Aegis Team, you will have to complete five simple steps!

1. Watch our official trailers. Please watch this in 1080HD and fullscreen for maximum effect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YL39uLs86o (Promotional video) TINYURL:http://tinyurl.com/mswdt44

2. Contact one of the guild master or officers. If you do not get a quicker reply, contact as many of our officers as you can.

3. A guild master or officer will have an interview with you.

4. A guild master or officer will bring you to the Clockworks for one depth for a diagnostic test.

5. Upon successful completion of the depth, the guild master or officer will brief you on your performance.

Things to Consider Before Joining

We don't like "guild hoppers". If you are joining just to leave later, it will be better if you do not join at all.

Think up of a nickname for yourself. It is compulsory for every Aegis Team member to have a nickname.

We're not a "hardcore" guild. Aegis Team emphasizes fun and friendship.

We accept "alternate" accounts, as long as you stay active with it and tell us your main account.

Most of our members are based in North America, so if you live on the other side of the world and want to join, most of our members may be still asleep.

If you are not online for a month, you may be kicked out of Aegis Team (There are a few exceptions). If you happen to be be kicked but want to rejoin, mail one of our guild masters or officers for a re-invite.

We WILL NOT tolerate disrespect to any guild members in any way, shape, or form. Doing so will lead to consequences based on the magnitude of the act.

Lockdown

Aegis Team is a guild that loves playing Lockdown, the PvP game where players capture bases belonging to the other team. In addition to random team lockdown we play guild versus guild Lockdown occasionally. If you like Lockdown, this is an ideal guild for you. One of our guild masters, Spongerino (Hamster), LOVES to play Lockdown. If you don't see him doing runs, you will see him playing Lockdown. To learn more about our involvement with Lockdown, contact Spongerino in-game.
