Let's make this happen guys and gals! Just to recap, I am from the Legacy of Elijah, I have been in contact with the MiLK Alliance, Saints 3G, Christian Crew, Saint's of Lions Arch, Signet of the [LION], and Lions of Judah. I have not recieved any notable objection from any one group and most are willing to consider a Christian server if we can all agree on one.
Legacy of Elijah, Saint's of Lion's Arch, and Signet of the [LION] were looking into Sanctum of Rall as our server home. Currently there is only one large guild on Rall, Gaisgioch, which happens to boast 3400 members. Even with Gaisgioch's large population, Sanctum of Rall is still medium-low population, meaning we should have no problem getting every guild into the server. Furthermore, Gaisgioch and ArenaNet have a fantastic story behind the server name. If you are unfamiliar with it, I would highly encourage you to take a look at this
article.
With the help of Saint's of Lion's Arch, we have contacted Gaisgioch's leadership asking for their reaction to the idea of a large influx of Christians on "their" server. Here is their response.
Greetings,
Thank you for asking however it's not necessary. Sanctum of Rall is a
public server and not "Ours". We are merely the catalyst for what has
become this server. Like yourselves we too focus on light emotions over
dark ones. Love, Compassion, Fellowship, Honor, Respect, Integrity, are
the staples of what we teach and incorporate in all we do. We create
very family friendly communities, however we do not force our ways on
others. We also do not allow religious discussing in vent or in our
guild chat as it tends to create barriers and hostile feelings.
Not exactly what Christ wanted. Instead we teach them companionship, how
to trust, and to believe in the possible impossible in hopes one day
their mind will open when they are ready. Finding God always requires an
open mind and a willingness not to hear, but to listen. If their not
ready to listen all you'll do is throw walls and rifts in between you
and them.
Again your more than welcome to come to Sanctum of Rall and we will be
very happy to group with you guys at times. Rall will be a safe haven
for those lights in the world of darkness. Feel free to join us.

I think it is obvious enough that Gaisgioch is a guild and community that we would be able to get along very well with.
So here is my formal proposal: let us all play on Sanctum of Rall. It already has a family friendly community, its population is large enough that it will not be empty, yet spacious enough that we will all get in, it has a nice WvW record, and it's founding is on a story that tugs at the heart strings. Please take this into consideration with your guild leadership and let me know as soon as possible. I certainly hope all of you will join each other to make a server were we will be with other brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you.
