Sun Guru
Sun Guru (May 31st 2007 - present) is a Metin 2 UK player, former Metin 2 UK Moderator, former Metin 2 UK Super Moderator and is serving since the 6th of April 2009 as Board Administrator of Bitefight.ir. Currently Sun Guru is also serving as Board Administrator of Metin 2 UK.
Sun Guru, commonly referred to as Sun, is a player on Metin 2 UK. Besides being a player, Sun is also a highly active member of the Metin 2 UK forum where he currently ranks number 1 in Post Count[1] The name Sun Guru itself has been derived from one of Sun's interests, which is the world of metaphysics. Through his Yoga classes he has been fond of the sun God raa. From that his nickname Sun Guru stems. [2]
Early Life
Sun started to play Metin 2 on the advice of an old friend. This has reportedly been Sun's first MMORPG although there have been reports of him expressing his joy at playing console based games in his spare time. The exact date of him started to play is not known exactly but we can speculate that it was sometime before the 31st of May 2007 since that is when he registered his board name. Sun played in closed beta under the name SunGuru and Sun86, both of which were Mental Fight warriors. Sun stopped playing somewhere in June of 2007 to prepare for his exams and started again after closed beta around August 28th 2007. All of his characters originated in the red kingdom, Shinsoo.
In-Game Career
Sun has notably and officially been in 2 guilds only, namely IRIS and Vanguard. Unofficially he has been in EXOTIC, Aurora and ACCCHMED.
Aurora and ACCCHMED were noob warring guilds (since no one accepted a war with IRIS) and EXOTIC was a mistake. ACCCHMED was a spoof warring guild created by Sun and DarkLord based on the popular puppet, ACHMED the Dead Terrorist.
IRIS Age
When Sun started playing Metin 2 UK again in the summer of 2007, he was recruited by then top Shinsoo guild IRIS. As the guild rules stated, he needed to wait until he is level 40 to join the guild, but reportedly got in at lvl 36 due to his "being committed to this guild and general desire of wanting to be part of a prestigious guild". Template:Citation needed
Sun has remained in IRIS for the better part of his Metin 2 experience, being one of the 2 guilds he has been in. His involvement and commitment with IRIS has been so strong, that he pretty much became a synonym for the Guild. Due to this commitment, Sun became co-leader of IRIS on the 11th of July 2008. Together with i8ul8r (leader) and Shoji (co-leader)he managed the guild and its members striving for diplomacy between kingdoms and withing his own kingdom, Shinsoo. Notable achievements during this time was Sun achieving his Grand Master Strong Body on the 12th of March 2008. To cement the memory of IRIS, Sun has made the official IRIS Introduction video shortly before leaving that guild. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHsibV1DUHA
The dawn of Vanguard
On August 26th 2009, Sun decided to start his own guild.[3] This came to be known as Vanguard. The name was coined after the leader(Sun) and co-leader(shelk)character class, Mental Warrior, is based on the ability to defend, "Guard". Vanguard guild was created out of IRIS. Mainly IRIS members have followed Sun to this new guild with Wolfrage being the first non-IRIS member to join Vanguard. Sun has based Vanguard on the same principles as IRIS, being a guild of friends. The slogan of Vanguard is: It's not about the character, but the player behind the character.
Out of IRIS conspiracies
When Sun decided to leave IRIS, many were speculating on the nature of his decision. Amongst the many reasons was also a power struggle within IRIS itself. Sun itself has categorically denied these reasons and gave as a reason that "It was simply time for a new start."[4]Even though the real reason why Sun has decided to leave IRIS and establish his own guild may never be entirely understood some answers can be derived from his Declaration of Independance in which he states: I think that I am grown up now and I would like to start a new chapter in my Metin 2 experience but never forgetting what I have learned from those I started with.
Awards
During Sun Guru's career at Metin 2 UK he has received the following awards:
- 2008 Holder of the Sacred Word (Best Mod Team Member)
- 2009 High Adviser (Most helpful board user)[5]
- 2009 Spartacus the Titan (Best ingame Male Mental Warrior)[6]
Metin 2 UK Team
Late January of 2008 Sun was contacted by Metin 2 UK Board Administrator Fen to discuss the possible merger of him with the Moderation team of Metin 2 UK. Though there was some hesitations at first, Sun finally accepted to become a part of the Metin 2 UK team. This was made official on the 23rd of January of 2007 [7]. Sun is known as a very opinionated member, which has landed him multiple times in hot waters. Even so, it is one of his most striking characteristics. As a moderator he ruled with an iron fist with the sole intentions of keeping peace on the Metin 2 UK forum. Through his hard work and dedication for the Metin 2 UK Board, Sun Guru has been promoted to Super Moderator on the 23rd of August 2008 [8]. He remained so until the 21st of January 2009, when he has been savagely beheaded by then CoMa Exxo.
Since the 15th of May 2009, Sun Guru is back again as a Moderator on Metin 2 UK where he has been welcomed with open arms by the members of the respective community.[9]
On the 4th of June 2009 Sun Guru has been re-promoted to Super Moderator on Metin 2 UK [10]. As of 20th of October 2009 he is serving as Board Administrator on the .com server of Metin 2 [11].

Controversies
Sun Guru is known to have landed himself in multiple controversies. Over the years he had multiple rivalries with some of them being well documented on the forum. Unmistakably some of these rivalries happened within the team, but until this day we can only speculate since Sun has sworn upon his DPA.
The Other Side was also a forum controversy and dated just before he became a Moderator. Sun made a thread about then Team Members GA Kerr, GA CrystalFlame and SGM Aelous power abusing. That thread single handedly outranked all other threads made in the DGGN Forum (Metin 2 Reporters Forum). The article included the immense Power Abuse by these three figures in organizing private parties for their respective in-game guilds. The screenies posted clearly showed China guild getting DT boss spawns. It is from this article that Sun's forum rivalry with Rajneesh started. Since then DGGN has been removed and that article still remains somewhere hidden on the forum...its effects still lingers upon the board.
Another controversy has been the hacking of Sun Guru on the 21st of January by figures including Rajneesh. Although not much has been lost during this ordeal, Sun has previously stated that he has learned a lot from this experience. Reports claim that the hackers broke into his email and send his then CoMa Exxo an email with questionable content. This has sparked a row of events which ended up with Sun being axed from the team.
Stemming from Sun's forced departure from the team, he has openly engaged in fierce criticism towards the former administration under the leadership of CoMa Exxo, TM Doxa, TM Gump and GA SueLee. An example of this was the public humiliation brought upon this administration with a post where Sun Guru wanted to charge them with "Virtual Genocide" [12] Although Sun never breached any forum rules he has been, yet again, decapitated by the administration for expression his opinion towards the administration. This lead to his board account being banned. Since Sun (and many others) saw this as an act of - silencing - he has embarked on a journey to clear his name. With the help of many who knew him and who believed in him Sun finally managed to come back.
2009
2009 has reportedly been an epic year for Sun Guru. Having been hacked, fired, rehired and promoted were only among others things that happened to Sun Guru during 2009. Those close to Sun Guru reported that when he got fired, among all the other staff that were fired as well, he embarked on an epic journey together with those fighting for justice. This journey involved players from all 3 kingdoms uniting for justice to be served. Reportedly, this journey lead them up to Game Forge itself. The result of this journey was the banishment of the Doxa/Gump Administration and the subsequent resurrection of metin-2.com under a new leadership by Wraith02 and Jona.
The Future
Sun Guru has expressed his opinion to keep serving the Metin 2 UK community since he has grown large with this community. For Sun, there is no better community than the UK community. He has also expressed his desire to remain on the UK team in order to serve the community better...as long as he is needed. Sun has given his 100% backing of this new Administration lead by CoMa Wraith02.
