A QUICK NOTE REGARDING RECRUITMENT FROM GM RYOOSHI
Thank you for your interest in Ichthys. We apologize, but at this time we are in a transitional stage that will require a bit of time. If you would still like to join Ichthys, please look over our new website, and fill out an application at http://ichthys.guildlaunch.com. This website and our forums on Eternal Truth Ministries will be shutting down soon. I personally apologize for the inconvenience or any confusion. May God bless you in your endeavors and faith-walk with Him.
Blessings, Ryo
Welcome to the official website of Ichthys! A Christian-based, Guardian faction Rift guild located on the Gnarlwood-US (PvE) server.
- Founding Members
Who Are We?
We’re a community. We’re a fellowship. We’re denominational and non-denominational. We’re one as the Body of Christ. We seek to be a group of disciples who set an example of God’s love. We’re not a church, but are in many ways a ministry, though the majority of ministry and spiritual growth should be sought at a church, and not in-game. We’re a family. We’re friends. We’re brothers and sisters in the name of Christ.
What Inspired The Name Ichthys?
Our guild name comes from the ancient Greek word meaning “fish.” Also spelled, “ichthus,” it is most recognizable by two intersecting arcs extending past the right side to resemble a tail fin. In Greek, it’s spelled “ἰχθύς,” and also capitalized as “ΙΧΘΥΣ” or “ΙΧΘΥC.” Ichthys is pronounced “Ick-thus.”
The symbol itself is an early Christian sign used to mark that the individual was a fellow believer. In scripture, the fish is used symbolically, when Christ calls Simon Peter and Andrew, two actual fishermen, saying “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:18-20 in context.)

Guild Vision and Member Conduct:
Our vision for Ichthys is to create a healthy, family-friendly, faith-based atmosphere in which to play Rift. Fellowship, encouragement, respect, and love are our foundation built upon the Rock that is Christ.
Though we are a guild of Christians, our basic belief is to accept, in His love, all who wish to be a part of our guild regardless of personal beliefs.
We have no level requirements or class limits, and we do allow alts. We all come to play this game in different ways, be it questing and alts, to raiding and PvP, and some just to meet new friends online. However you choose to play, we believe you can find a home in our guild.
If you would like to join us, then please read our ruleset and fill out an application. We look forward to having you join our family!
