Join the Everlasting Sacred Path: We are a large and active Guild Wars Community and are currently planning for our entry into Guild Wars 2. To join or find out more information click here.
Current Events: We host a wide range of events for our guild and our alliance. To see more look at our Alliance Calendar or view our Event Board.
ESP Turns 7-Years Old: Our 7-year anniversary is coming up on June 18th. On Saturday, June 16th we will be hosting a celebration that will be open to everyone in our alliance..
The Everlasting Sacred Path alliance is full of artists, each with their different talents and styles. However, recently two members of our alliance, Natanya (from ESP) and Auron (from HwEa) have raised the art to a whole new level.
What you see above is their masterpiece in anticipation of Guild Wars 2 all made with little gold coins.
If you want to take a look at the different stages of the process, you can see the main topic here.
Payoff time is coming for everyone who pre-ordered Guild Wars 2. The first ever open beta event will run from April 27th - 29th and aside from being eager to see the game, we are looking forward to getting together with our guild and alliance members to quest and explore the new content together.
The first important thing to take note of is that we will be setting up our temporary Beta Event Headquarters on the Henge Of Denravi Server. Everyone will need to select this as your home server at startup if you want to take part in World -vs- World ( -vs- World) combat with us. Everyone is welcome to join [ESP] for the weekend so that we can test out some of the guild and influence features of the game. Look for me or one of the ESP officers in game or find us on ventrilo so that you can receive your guild invite.
I am sure that people will want to spend the majority of the time exploring the world and trying out different professions. However, we are planning on organizing some massive-PvP events on Saturday, April 28th. For both of these events we will meet up in The Mists. The tentative schedule is as follows:
April 28th, 2pm cdt: 5 vs 5 Matches
April 28th, 7pm cdt: World -vs- World
Everyone who is interested at all in Guild Wars 2 Structured PvP is welcome to come along and take part. We will keep playing for as long as people want and If there is sufficient interest then we may schedule some additional events for Sunday.
This is going to be an amazing weekend and I hope to see a lot of you all out there.
**Note: Due to the Open Beta we will be skipping our usual bi-weekly Alliance Meeting/Giveaway in Guild Wars. We will resume our regular schedule after the beta event.
Our Alliance is signed up to help host and support the MS Toga Party that is being organized by gw-en.com on April 21st from 12pm to 6pm CDT. This event is taking place in Chahbek Village International Districts 1 - 4. (If it is needed then d5 will be an overflow district.) The first three districts are being hosted directly by staff members of gw-en.com and d4 is going to be our district.
So What is This?
The Toga Party is a charity event designed to help raise awareness of multiple sclerosis as well as raise support for people who are suffering from this autoimmune disease by collecting donations. All funds go directly towards benefiting the North American Wide Supercities MS Walks and MS research. The Toga Party was created to help make all of this happen by allowing people to take part in fun activities and win a variety of great prizes.
Gamers Giving Back is the fundraising organization tied to the Gaming World Entertainment Network (gw-en.com). I strongly advocate their cause, not just because it is about helping those in need and showing support, but also because I feel it places the gaming community in a positive spotlight when we display a high level of organization and use our resources to help make a difference in the world. We have worked with them before while playing district hosts for Pink Day in LA and now we are gearing up for another big event with the MS Toga Party.
Great, So What Do We Do?
Similar to Pink Day in LA, each district will have a designated host and all districts will read off a trivia question every 15 minutes, giving people the opportunity to win great in-game prizes. The proceedings will also be broadcast live on gw-en.com and listeners will be given additional chances to win. In addition, anyone who donates 10$ (Canadian) or more through Gamers Giving Back will be able to enter into a raffle with the chance to win various Guild Wars merchandise and other special prizes.
There is also a story-based scavenger hunt called 'The Quest for the Cure' which people may take part in by following the clues on the gw-en.com forums and collecting the proper items to hand in on the day of the event. Prizes for this event should be posted soon.
Last but no least, if you are able to impress the judges with your toga (doing whatever you, aside from resorting to use of the special costumes to make your character appear a though you are wearing a toga), then you have a chance at being selected for the Toga Costume Finals where first prize is 1 Set of Vabbian Armor (Player’s Choice) 3 HoM Weapons ( 1 of each kind) , 1 Unded Green Mini (Random) , 1 of each Armor Remnant and 20 Zkeys.
Currently, our list of prizes for our district looks like this:
* 3 Oppressor Weapons
* 8 Destroyer Weapons
* An Aion Wing Code
* A Stack of Lockpicks
* A Stack of Wintersday Gifts
* Your GW Character Portrait draw by Araiia (in a toga of course)
* 2 Black Moa Chicks
* Several Stacks of Golden Eggs
* Multiple Cloths of the Brotherhood and Primeval and Deldrimor Armor Remnants
Even with all of that, if anyone would like to donate more items to the cause feel free to let me know and I will be happy to add your prizes to the event.

We came, we saw, we partied like there was no tomorrow; we celebrated Spring and the honored the noble platypus. All in all, I would consider the evening a smashing success. My most sincere thanks to everyone in the Alliance who came out to show their support and all of the people who showed up out of curiosity and ended up having a great time with us.
Extra special thanks go out to everyone from gw-en.com for being our friends, advertising Platypusapalooza on air over the previous few weeks and showing up to broadcast live during the event. Your support is always appreciated and as always we shall continue to do what we can to give that support right back.
I will be posting a few screenshots of the event here once I have the time to sort through them. If anyone else has any images that they would like to share then please feel free to go ahead and add them on to this thread.

Due to the servers being down a good portion of the day we were unable to play some of the make-up PvP matches as I had planned, so I am going to let the PvP contest run for a bit longer so that everyone has a fair chance to compete.
And of course, there were many, many smaller prizes, too numerous to list. My thanks to my amazing event staff who did a perfect job of play acting the evil bunnehs and who were there to help hand out drinks and otherwise keep everything under control. I could never do it without you.
Happy Platypusapalooza everyone! Today is the day for our big event that we we have been planning and I hope that everyone can make it.
Once again, we will be setting up shop in Embark Beach Int 1 (down on the sandy beach-area near the flexing Norn.) Our friends at gw-en.com will be broadcasting on location throughout the day, so even though the official events do not kick off until 4pm cdt feel free to go hang out and go wild in preparation.
Once the festivities start, we will be using trade chat as our channel for the event organizers to explain the contests so make sure to have that channel open and keep it free from all other chatter in order to make it easy for people to see what is going on.
I'll see you all there at the start of the show.
