This is in no way meant as a personal attack, but I have to ask:

Do we really need one more guild?

We still have a low number of players, and more guilds lead to smaller guilds with less activity.
Personally I  believe that new guilds are pretty much the last thing we need right now. What do others think about this?

I have five active players and more to come. This is the inheritor of The Cutthroats. Moreover, players who tend to join this kind of guild don't usually join most of the other guilds. Do you see what I mean? There isn't much friction.

Thank you for the compliment

The question seems to have an air of guild snobbery about it. 

Sounds like a perfect home for an alt in my stable.

[Rigwyn]

You park that alt, Nova

[tman]

Do we really need one more guild?

In all likelihood, yes.  Player counts aren't low because there is too much going on in the game.  That's silly.  If this new guild causes stuff to happen in the game, especially with new players, then it's far more likely to increase player count than lower it.

tl;dr: When stuff happens in the game, players like it.

Gonger, roleplay with us! You'll see us for the lovely people we are OOCly and the bastards we are ICly! Thank you tman.

Apparently most people have a different view of this. It is just that whenever I do "/who", I see many guilds with only 1 or 2 players (including my guild - so much for snobbery!),  and maybe 1 or 2 guilds with more players.
If your guild will have many active players, hooray! But does not everybody think that their new guild will make the difference?
Of course I will roleplay with you. Or against you? What you say about your guild sounds quite antagonistic to the Bounty Hunters...   

We will see which way things go...

Greetings to all,

Gonger

But does not everybody think that their new guild will make the difference?

My approach to my guild has been to make some difference. Many members have been active in real life getting careers together and the like. They are seen infrequently at the moment. Our guild is associated with Talad and is situated near the Gug Temple so effort is made to keep the flowers fresh on the temple altar and a copy of Talad's Appearance on hand. It may make some difference if someone stumbles upon the place. The notice of it's existence was taken off the Gug Bulliten Board by someone recently. Normally other offerings are made each visit. Some armour, a sword, whatever good noob loot was dropped that day.
 
The guild house is open to rp. This week we have had multi-day guest(s) and 5-6 characters using the space for rp.
 
So you leave it to the arbitrary markers and the BoT is deleted and our house barred. What exactly was achieved? There are lots of doors the issue seems a vague one at best.

RP doesn't have to be (and IMHO shouldn't be) divided along guild lines.  Two active members of a guild can create RP for the entire population.  It's about finding a guild that matches your character, not just joining the most popular club like its rush week freshman year

I have updated Syndicate ranks. Our numbers grow and we continue to recruit. Check out the Syndicate storyline: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=41436.0.

Come roleplay with us in-game! 

[Kaerli_Stronwylle]

Depending on what happens with a couple of other storylines and my charslot situation, I might work on dropping a char in there (unfortunately, at the time you made this, Eleese already ate one of my baddies, although I have another one that *could* work.  I'm going to need a lot of help with getting an apropos level of subtlety in my dark/evil RP though!)

[bloodedIrishman]

The Syndicate is one the top most active and roleplay focused guilds on the server. So, please join us with a main character! It's quite a bit of fun.

Each member receives a stipend.

I have also updated ranks.

Much love.

[Irelander]

More the merrier, I say.  If guild numbers get thin- time for a merger.

[Irelander]

This will be an interesting guild once the thief mechanics are implemented.  I'm excited for the RP potentional.  Now, what should I hire BTS for first. . .
