Brief History
The White Tower is a guild from the Archmage era.
The White Tower started on Server III (which became B2 Blitz Guild Server a few resets after). The name of the guild is based on the Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan.
The first leader was Asmodae - he left after 2 resets and for the next 2 years a council of guildmembers lead the guild: Gaidin, Lobster, Belsambar (Ravidel), Stryker, Groentje... waiting for our original leader to return one day! The guild gave longtime members the title Aes Sedai (female) and Asha'man (male). Which is a title for live, if you are a member of the guild or not. Many players moved to more Elite guilds after a couple of resets in White Tower.
White Tower started as a Honour guild, and in 1999 and 2000 formed an alliance with other larger honour guild (Dark Pentegram Elite, The Covenant, Iron Fist Protectorate) and together fought reset after reset against dominant aggressive top guilds. White Tower experienced some internal conflicts, which lead a group of orginal members to split off and form 'Seven Towers' (note Gaidin's abandoned mage at the bottom of the powergraph below!). This was the end of WT council-leadership: the reset after the conflict WT got Groentje as its single leader.
At some point it became quite impossible to be both an Honour guild and improve your guilds performance. This was because bug-exploiting and scripting had grown to ridicoulous levels. The aggressive top guilds were using either scripts, multi-maging, bug-exploits (or all of them) mainly to fight each other - for a honour guild there is no point in mixing in that and not allowing yourself to at least play aggressive. Thus, White Tower left the Alliance of Honour, and allied Borg. Because it wanted to remain a newbie friendly guild and training ground, a branch White Tower Academy was formed and it's members followed a strict 'Honour guild' R.O.E. White Tower stopped in 2002 and shorly after the MARI servers closed down.
Many former White Tower mages still play The Reincarnation - many more have retired.
