Who or What is TAO? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jaga   

The Arcane Order, also known as "TAO", is a group of individuals that share a common pastime:  computer games and gaming online.  We can be found in MMOGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Games) such as the upcoming Warhammer Online, single-person games like Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights, and following other pursuits as we find the time.

 

 

 

TAO Values

We believe in the concept of family, and that supporting each other makes us stronger as a group, and results in much more enjoyable gameplay for everyone.  We have members ranging from hardcore gamers to casual, and firmly believe that while real life comes first, gaming online can be our sole source of entertainment, a part-time hobby, or anything inbetween.

We respect each other's ideas and values, and place importance on everyone taking part as they would like.  Members seeking leadership positions are encouraged to take the reigns and make things happen - effort, creativity, maturity, loyalty and skill are all rewarded and valued in TAO.

 

 

Our History and Origins

The Arcane Order was originally envisioned and formed back when Asheron's Call 1 was in pre-launch Beta test status (way back in 1999).  Two members put their heads together to come up with a name, which was finally given by Jaga, that of "TAO".  A council member and Jaga's patron at that time, Zebudiah forwarded the name along to the guild's leader, and it instantly stuck.

Since that day, The Arcane Order has existed in many different forms, in many different games, from AC1, to Anarchy Online, to Horizons, to EQ2, and forward.  We've seen as few as 5 members, and as many as 100.  This site represents our resurrection of the guild and website, with the new launch of Warhammer Online.
