Just a minor winge about the guild :P Just wondering if anyone else is concerned about where the guild is going game-wise? More often than not guild chat is practically dead, probably due to everyone concentrating on soloing, so i feel more help should be given helping people getting to 60 and endgame content. thoughts?
(ps i'm sure half the peeps in the guild are only in it for a guild name under their own, but hey that's a personal opinion :P)

A lil harsh mebbe tim? :o
Not everyone is as open and talkative as you are maybe? (you chat tart :P)
Currently as I see it, no the guild isnt always that talkative, and yes we do seem to lack purpose, however that isnt necessarily the case.
The aim at the moment is for a few more members to get to 60, however recently one or two key members havent always been available online or have been possibly enjoying a little quiet time.
Also, no major recruitment initiatives have been undertaken for a while, that side of things has kinda stagnated due to peeps getting fingers burnt.....eg Huntra and Mattster *cough*
so lowbies atm dont have alot of teaming options and seem to slug it out by themselves.
Ill grant you that raids no longer happen on a nightly basis either, but i wonder if, in part thats due to the length of time end game raids can take (specially running back from the graveyard :D) and so these dont tend to happen possibly as often as some peeps would like. However, hopefully *fingers crossed* the forum will be used and visited by guildies whereby these kind of events can be organised.
On a personal note, if i have the time, im up for most stuff....just shout :P
....or scream :P
Slowly the guild will evolve (theres a few 40s coming up now) and then we can be more sure of enough peeps being available for the higher level stuff.
and anyway......get your ruddy blacksmithing/mining up , lazy arse ;D
-
Well... that was a pretty complete reply ;D
Since i made the original post it has probably been the best two nights guild-wise for a while :) Maybe cos' i've reached 60 already i'm a bit eager to start upgrading my equipment etc. , so maybe it's a little bit of frustation seeping out on my part. :P
Anyway, as lyon has said, need any help and i'm about give us a shout! ;D
(ps as for the mining, do you know how long it takes to find a decent place to mine? :P)

Do tell? I'm always up for interesting gossip ;)
-
While I disagree with your observations Timmo, the name thing anyway ;) , I do appreciate that things aren't like they used to be. This may give the impression that we lack direction...
The plan is to be able to do all of the end game raids, but we need 3 things for that:
1) More level 60s
2) More Guild members
3) More Priests
At the moment we've been focusing on getting as many to 60 as possible, as quickly as possible. But since we changed how we recruit people, things have been slowing down.
So if possible, any lvl 60s with some spare time, can help out the guild by following the 3 point plan to purple loot ;D as stated above ;)
Hope this clears things up :)
-
Well i've been splitting my increasingly rare free time between CoH (mainly CoV) but of late I've also been playing around with my lvl 10 Ork Warrior. I know, I know, it's not an Alliance thang....but I like green.
Tell ya what, I'll spend more time on my priest ;D
Just following on from Naam's post....yeh, do tell!!

Nothin much to say really other than we dont really need peeps in the guild who talk in caps all the time and spout meaningless shite :P
oh, and really argue hammer n tongs with each other :P
oh...err....bugger, just described meself n joolz ;P

They can be amusing for a while, remember FLAMETANK- ?

Nah - you guys never really argued, bickered maybe, we just took a book on how long it would take you to mention "Discovery" and "Field";)

Now i waiting for the ribena, and vomit :P

"Nothin much to say really other than we dont really need peeps in the guild who talk in caps all the time and spout meaningless shite"
oh dear thats me i guess. I shift loot so reguarly mistype caps lock and only notice when i chat. Also only type rubish.
For a guild I think it is great atm. It is really friendly and almost no-one seems to abuse the freely given items.
My feeling is we should only recruit people who we either know in real life, so know are cool people or get people from having grouped with them over several instances and made friends that way.
For me size of guild isn't a big issue as I have no plans to raid mc (it looks prety dull when i've watched friends playing it)
I recon by January we should have enough 60's to almost do a guild exclussive zg raid.

I quite like our guild - everyone is friendly (even when insulting the vertically challenged characters, Zeph...), stuff gets passed around to people who need/want it (and as said above, it doesn't seem to be abused) and if you yell for help, people respond.
It may take a bit, of course, because even if you are lucky enough to have a mount, sometimes people are a ways off :)
Cuthbert is heading manfully - no, gnomishly - towards 40. I wasn't aware we wanted priests. At the mo my only other characters are a Troll (couldn't resist his purple mohican) and a night elf priest called Whytepetal - I guess she could guild if needed, but she's pants at the moment :)
Timmo - you want raids and dungeon crawling? Organise it! I'll come along and die for you! Cuthbert's real good at that!
-
I'm a low level newbie to the guild and it is true the team ups are limited. However I have found the guild extremely useful when I need them. I am not afraid to ask stupid questions and if I'm stuck - one of these higher level characters just come over an hit something for me. I like the guild as it is. I appreciate the level 60's are after something different but surely there's a bit about just having fun at lower level.
One question though, is there a guild equivilant for Horde? I like Horde and I notice there are more than a few players out there.

Hi guys :)
Just to let you know that i love being in our guild. ;)
Though i do agree about us lower lvls having to slog through quests by going solo, the help is there at the important times-which is what counts. Though it would be nice for the help to be more often, or even on set nights of the week.......
I also have to say that as far as im concerned, im in the guild for more than the title under my name ;)

Nah - knowing Zephyr nonsense is fine, some little shite smack-talking l33t is probably what he means ;)

Was what I meant, i can barely hear you cuth, i dont have ears in my kneecaps :P
-
Hey!! That's no way to talk down to the little fellow! ;D

The day that Cuthbert stops the bantering with other guild members is the day we become just a bit too serious.

( Flame Fatale = Alandria )
Hey guys :)
Thought I best put a post on ;) I am afraid that I won't be joining you all on the horde side for 2 reasons:
1... I do not have the time.
2...I don't feel that I should up sticks and join another guild when there are still al lot peeps that need our help in the already established *Knights of Mercia*
If we spend more time helping out the lower levels in getting to 60, we would not need to recruit more ( I personally am happy with the guild the way it is )
And I can see it going the same way it did in CoH, straight down the toilet :-\ It didn't really work in there either, as soon as peeps got capped characters they got bored and wanted something else i.e. another guild and the already established one became even less active.
I don't want this to happen to ours, we have a really great bunch of guys who play regularly and I would like to do all I can to help keep it that way. It would be a real shame if people didn't play as much as they would like to because of a lack of team mates / help / general guild activity.....I am not saying that I think the horde guild won't be a success or a bad idea , I just feel we need to support the curent one more. ;)

That's exactly what I think, although expressed more eloquently.

Heh, an excellent post FF, oddly enough expressing the difficulty I feel like most of the time when playing online. for me the best part of playing online is treeaming up with others, and teamign with friends is even better. Unfortunately WoW seems to be quite geared towards spending the majority of your time solo and as I don't get a lot of time to play nowadays it's quite difficult for me to hang around waiting for a WoW team up, even though I'd much rather play with other people.
My trouble is that (1) I'm not a high enough level to participate in the guild raids to various high level instances (2) I get bored with grinding through quests solo and (3) crippling altitis...
So I was interested in the horde guild in order play with _more_ people not fewer as I thought there would be more low level chars around to team with!
and don't forget that I've already switched servers once in order to find more peeps to team with.
-
Most of my characters are at levels 10 - 20 with a few in the high 20's. Most Guild members, as its stands, if they support me - are actually doing me a favour. Being a great guild - most are very happy to do this often. Rarely can I help them though and I'd like to. I do not have a high level character who can help out.
More guild members including a Horde guild will mean a greater diversity of character levels. People at diffrerent levels will get what they need out of the game. And, there will be more of us.
My personal style as a player is that I am more transient than others. I play one character religiously and then get bored (Sorry Lisia). Sometimes I figure I'd like something else and I do something different. Not everbody is interested in maxing out there lvl 60 character.
-
Although I understand that not everyone wants to max there char too 60, and peeps have different play styles etc. I wasn't meaning that ::)
I just wanted to express my thoughts that , I personally will be spending the time I do have, helping and being as active as I can be ( even if its with my alts ) in our main guild. People can call me up anytime and I'll try and do whatever I can ( I may not be as good at the game as some peeps and may die shed loads :P ) but hey, its half the fun ;D
So, here's hopeing that our current guild *knights of Mercia* will stay active and fun which is the main thing, as I feel Ive come to know most of you all as good friends :)
-
The horde guild was never meant to replace the original Knights of Mercia.
And here's me thinking that a horde guild would help provide a bit of diversity to stop people from getting bored and still keep everyone together....show's how much i know ::)
-
I don't think the idea of a horde guild is such a bad idea Solar. Personally, a change of scenery, pace, and a completely different set of quests, instead of re-doing the same alliance quests with every alt I roll, would make a change once in a while, but not to the exclusion of the main guild, which everyone has invested a vast amount of time to get it to where it stands today. :)
As everyone has said before, if I'm about and you need that extra little bit of help, give me a shout if I'm on. I'm sure helping everyone in the guild get close to end-game content, would be beneficial for the guild in long run. :)

All I was meaning is that we should support the original guild as it stands that's all, nothing more ::) ;)
-
I can fully understand the need to want to do different quests, after having done 3 night elves the quests in teldrassil and darkshore are really annoying me now. If I had more time I would play a horde char but I really want to get my alliance char to lvl 60 first (any help with that would be so welcome) and do some nice high lvl raiding.
I'd love to team up with other members of the guild anytime! The only, always so present, problem is that everyone has a different schedule and that is something we can't change. OMG that sounds so...dark :P
Hope to see you all in game :D
-
Dogstar - gimme a ring in the evenings (not on Mondays, of course :) ) and I'll team up with ya! Cuthbert is nearing level 39 and I enjoy running round with other peeps, too - just when I log on, everyone seems to be lvl 50 and above and busy
destroying the known world questing....
:)
So actually I abuse Myd's knees through boredom.
Boring - that's something I haven't tried... can any engineer out there make me an awl to bore through Myd's knees?
Lets see how funny he is when his intestines are within my (admittedly tiny) reach! :)
(Its really difficult abusing people when you can only reach their knees by jumping - I hope the guild appreciates all the effort Cuth puts in)
:D
