Now interestingly enough I don't perse have a problem with the 10plat
charge. Or rather I would not had I even known about the Soerbard
before I made level 9 (laugh). My "problem" "issue" what have you.
and I want to stress that this isn't disparaging of them at all is
what servers are they on? The Academy page states that there should
be a patron. How can one have a patron if there are no others on
their server? My second problem comes from the agnostic "requirement"

My Bard Adon is a devout believer and follower of Veeshan believing
fully that it is by her will his voice holds power. However being
that he follows the Dragon Goddess he has no preference among the
player races, classes, or alignments. As happy to travel with Troll
excepting for the smell, as with High-elven Paladin. I think the
Soerbard should possibly consider that new potential members may have
developed chars already, and that benefits for higherlevel joiners should
also be considered, after all 10 plat is a hefty sum even as a test of loyalty

These are just my thoughts and by no means to be considered as ill will
to the Soerbard who I find a most admirable bard guild at least in intent
if not function (since I've never seen any of you on povar my home)
