Mission Statement

Axiom is first and foremost, a community of gamers created to provide entertainment and enjoyment. Our rules are made to be flexible and nonrestrictive. Our officers have all been in guilds where members were only names on a list, and will strive to make sure that attitude never permeates the friendly atmosphere of our guild. We hope that we foster a community that will build lasting relationships based on respect. Our guild is based on both PvE and PvP and will strive to be a presence in both. Also, Zoidberg.
