This is a Scandinavian gaming community. The most important thing in this community is to have fun playing the games we love. It’s all about community. Because of this, many members always return to Polarbears if they take a break or a detour to another game or guild. We are a mature settlement in the bottom and some younger members on top. The rules are set for the community to have fun and enjoy themselves playing their favorite games the way they want.

The whole story started around 1995 when Westwood released their first Command & Conquer game. We were some Norwegian friends who played together in home networks. We were in love with Westwood and the C&C series. In February 2003 when C&C Generals released we made the guild official with making our first homepage and joining a lot of ladders. We played in Norwegian, Scandinavian and in European leagues. In times we were on top of these ladders.

In 2004, Battlefield Vietnam was released; some Polarbears members fell in love again. And some of the members started a Polarbears division for this game, and started to explore. The summer in 2005 Battlefield 2 was released and Polarbears was now ready to take BF to another level. Ladders all over Europe was entered and won. This division is still active and is waiting for the upcoming Battlefield 3.

In 2004-2005 was World of Warcarft released, and some of our members found this MMORPG game very interesting. It was time to make a new division. There is still a small group of members still playing World of Warcraft.

17 may in 2008; many of us entered a new journey in Funcom’s MMORPG Age of Conan. With lots of anticipation many of Polarbears members were rushing in to the “FURY” server. Some of us loved the new world; some hated the problems, glitches and bugs that were in the game at the beginning. After 6 months it was only the biggest fans that were left on the fury server. Open PVP was not for the members of Polarbears, so after a year on Fury we changed server to “Crom” and made a huge comeback with hundreds of new members coming back trying the game for the second time. Polarbears is still active in Age of Conan.

We also have small settlement in other games, so don't be suprised if you find a Polarbears or Rant guild or clan around. In all our games we play in, we have the same set of rules for all members, and community is the most important in all of them.

Betveen 2008-2011 #rant emerged, a few people that usually talked to eachother on a IRC-server had a channel called #rant, as it seems those people had a common intrest of online gaming, the common thing here was a larger base of "older" players and a few youngers.

One in that channel happend to be a member and one of officers in Polarbears, it came naturally to merge the guilds to one and start doing things togheter and get a wider playerbase of scandinavian gamers.
