Wanted to get our hat in the ring with a thread, even if it's pretty preliminary at this point.
Name: Red Mercy
Alignment: Any good or neutral
Focus: Social gameplay and peacekeeping
Timezone: Guild leaders are PST, but we have community members everywhere.
Red Mercy (our working Company name) will be the presence in PFO of Mercy Gaming, the small gaming community I am a part of. We are a band of friends involved in a variety of games, who operate under a loose common banner. Where we have enough players interested we form guilds, and where we don't we see that members get involved with larger guilds togther, to keep us united. For the members of the Mercy Gaming community, it's more about the friendships and social aspects of the games, rather than the games themselves.
A good number of our members are keeping an eye on PFO as it develops, and a bunch of us kicked in together for the guild launch backing on Kickstarter to get an early hand in the game. For many of us who are older and grew up with MMOs before they were all themepark treadmills, the prospects PFO offers are more than enough to keep us hanging on.
We plan to organize the Company under our own banner, and then seek alliances (here in the early days as well as post launch) with other Companies that share our outlooks and goals. We are friendly and social players, our personal demeanor's leaning towards 'neutral good' and will most likely focus ourselves on helping to create a better community for other good or neutral players. (Even, I suppose, evil players in the long run, since a rising tide lifts all boats.) We see ourselves are offering our services out as as occasional for-hire merchants, bodyguards and entertainers, and occasionally doing those jobs for free, for our own nefarious RP purposes.
We had a fairly extensive lore written up for our Republic guild in SW:TOR, which we will most likely adapt for use in PFO. You can read that here. The short of our planned RP backstory is that we will be a band of civilian soldiers, merchants and doctors (or their PFO equivalent) who through some masterfully penned contrivance, end up working for the good of the common people outside the bureaucracy and red tape of those who should be tending to the flock but aren't. We are a citizen army of and for the people. We are not the strongest, the largest or the wealthiest. But we have the courage to do what others will not, so that the lowest can live without fear.
I'm sure this will get updated more as we get close to seeing an actual game, and as more is revealed about the game. In the meantime, we are just enjoying seeing what is in store, and hoping to meet other like minded individuals and Companies to share in the creation of this new world.

I've added your Guild to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, just PM me or post a clear request here.
Also, The Seventh Veil welcomes you to the community, and extends an offer of Diplomatic Outreach.
Reading your announcement, I can't help but think that your Company would be a natural fit with The Seventh Veil. Not only do our purposes seem to align, but T7V is committed to ensuring our Members and any Affiliates maintain their own autonomy. When the time comes that Mercy Gaming has a much larger presence in PFO, we will be happy for you and I'm sure many of us would work to help you get your own Settlement up and running. I hope you'll consider this, and good luck :)

Greetings, I am The Wyldethorne, an Ambassador of the Kingdom of Aeternum, a division of the larger Pax Gaming Community. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance!
High Thane Thunderkeg and Thane-Blade Krows have tasked me with opening diplomatic relations with the Communities and Companies of like minded bent within the River Kingdoms. Though we understand that it will be sometime before launch, we would like to open lines of communication, establish friendships, and participate with you in the crowdforging and community building of PfO.
It is with great anticipation that we look forward to further talks and interaction with our fellows.
I encourage your representative(s) to come forward and make contact with our Embassy, at the Pax Gaming forums, and meet our brethren.
Well met!

Nihimon - Thanks for the add! I'll have more details, including a description, later in the game when we know more about how the game will operate, and we make the call on what specifically we will be doing. As for alliances and the like, we are mostly just in the 'talking to new people and making new friends' stage at this point, but we should keep in touch. We are under no illusions that we would have the manpower to make much of a mark on our own, but it's also important to us to keep our identity. When we get close to alpha / beta kicking off, we would like to have some tight alliances with other Chartered Companies who share our vision of what the game world should be like, that we could work with to mutual benefit.
Wyldthorne - Out of curiosity, is the Pax Gaming Community the same Pax from SWTOR Sanctum of the Exalted?

Sorry for the 2 week delay in posting this reply, I lost the thread in the swamp of forum activity.
To answer, yes it is the same Pax as was on Sanctum(Pax Imperius, now on Ebon Hawk) and Pax Dominus(originally on Lord Ardraas, now also on Ebon Hawk).
