Our Story

A True Family of Like-Minded People

The story of the Brigade of Honor began on May 20th, 2000, as the Knights of the Burning Hell — founded by guild leader Paulofheaven, who was 16 years old at the time and looking to create a style of gaming family not easily found elsewhere. A few years later, he decided the guild needed a name rebrand. After several suggestions were taken from various members, it was agreed that the name thought up by member Sioken Kenshin would be selected. That day, the Brigade of Honor became our new and much friendlier-sounding name.

Over our long history, we have played Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft, Black Desert Online, Ragnarok Online 1 & 2, Guild Wars 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rift, and Warhammer Online. Our current primary MMORPG is Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, played on the Primal Datacenter on the Ultros server. We own a Mansion in the Guild Housing District of the Mist, Ward 7, Plot 2.

We also have a dedicated server running Minecraft Java Edition hosting the Ultimate Create modpack team. Starting March 2026, the Brigade of Honor officially expanded to a Hytale and Counter Strike 2 server in Asia for our Filipino members, with further servers on the way. We have begun supporting Web 3 games and look forward to expanding Play to Earn games as an official BoH division.

Many of our guild officers have held responsible positions for well over 10 years. Paulofheaven has spent well in excess of $400,000 USD over 26 years on this guild and its members — a testament to his devotion, hard work, and dedication. In his eyes, taking care of his members is the most vital duty of a guild leader. With this outlook, he has made lifelong friends and a beloved second family.

With most guilds lasting only about 6 months, we are truly blessed to have not only lasted 26 years but thrived with a wonderful, diverse, and international team of players. We are proudly LGBT-Friendly, with members of this community in the ranks and in senior leadership positions.

Our guild logo is copyrighted under registration number VAu001404276 with the U.S. Copyright Office. On May 20th, 2025, the Brigade of Honor proudly celebrated its 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary. With the first 26 years behind us, we look forward to the next 26 with excitement and anticipation.

We are the Brigade of Honor Guild — and if you are a friendly, hardworking, dedicated, honest, and loyal person looking for a like-minded group of gamers, look no further. It is our hope that we will leave such a positive impression on you that you will stay for the rest of your life.

“This guild is my passion and life's work. I love it more than most people could ever understand.”
