[b]Tell us about your guild. [/b] I created the guild to play with a purpose: we study, improve, and promote the Ukrainian language. Today, we are a community of like-minded people and a piece of homeland for many Ukrainians who had to leave their country. [b]Why did you choose this name? Is there a story or meaning behind it?[/b] “G2U” stands for “Glory to Ukraine”. This is a Ukrainian national motto and greeting. If someone ever says to you “glory to Ukraine,” you should respond “glory to the heroes!” [b]What sort of activities do you focus on?[/b] We engage in all types of activities. Freedom is the highest value for Ukrainians, so everyone in our community has the right to play whatever content they want. This is the secret of our success and longevity. [b]What sort of members are you looking for?[/b] We only accept Ukrainians. If you are Ukrainian and looking for a Ukrainian community, you won’t find a better guild than ours. That’s a fact!

Many argue about which territory is better, but there’s one thing I know for sure: it is not where you are that matters, but who you are with. For me, home is where my friends are. [b]Do you have any rivalries or ongoing quarrels with other guilds?[/b] We have no enemies. We are a very friendly guild, and if someone wants to quarrel with us, it only proves they’re a fool in real life. [b]What are some of your most memorable battles or activities?[/b] We have many stories, but one stands out. While preparing to build a Hideout, a real-life missile attack began on my city. Imagine: no electricity, everything burning, explosions, air defense firing, sirens howling… and I’m standing in the middle of the street holding my phone above my head to get a signal, all because my guild is waiting for me. If the police had seen me, I would have been in serious trouble, since it’s forbidden to film air defense during wartime. And who would have believed I was stupid enough to risk myself just for a computer game? Luckily everything ended well, both for me and for our Hideout. [b]What does your guild do for fun?[/b] In those brief moments of peace, we gather around the chest in our Hideout and share the loot. It’s always a lot of fun. [b]What is your guild's approach to the game? Do you have any core values or beliefs that guide how you play together?[/b] Our approach is very simple: have fun, and don’t prevent other players from having fun. [b]What are your goals for the future?[/b] Our goal is to play Albion, and whatever happens, happens. It’s the best game in the world. We are very grateful for it! [b]Anything else to share about your guild?[/b] We are proud to be the first Ukrainian guild to achieve Gold and Crystal ranks. At the same time, most of our players constantly experience problems with electricity and the internet due to the war. If other guilds played in the same conditions as we do, they would not achieve even half of our success. [i]Want your guild to be featured next?
