Title: Guardians of the Way guild
Post by: Learch on March 25, 2005, 05:09:35 pm: Just wondering if the leadership of Guardians of the Way is around.

- What is GotW about?
- Which Way are we Guarding?
- What does it need Guarding from? :)

When I started playing Planeshift, within 1/2 hour, I was recruited to GotW. Apart from some casual in-game chat with other recruits, that\'s about where the \"guildness\" of the Guild ended.

Considering there are 240 guildmembers, I would have expected to see at least SOME statement of raison d\'etre here.
There are guilds with less than 10 members that have well-articulated goals, which, when compared with what I DON\'T know about GotW, makes them look pretty darn appealing.

So, sell me. Why should I stay with GotW?

You were recruited to one of the mass-recruiting guilds.
So guilds which recruit everyone on their sight, that often have no visible goal (if there is no goal, anyone can join)

Reasons to stay... uhh none :P

exactly..Learch you need to find a guild that suits you and just cause a guild is large doesnt mean its the best.guilds like yours will die off after a while anways

Soo...try kadas list dude. you seem like a good guy lookin for a nice guild. thebbb.tk try some of those guilds sites. Im sure they would like to have a guy like you in there ;)

Leave the guardians of the way (which way? im guessing none) join a good guild. shure it\'ll take time with them but its well worth it.

Post by: Areneren on March 26, 2005, 01:01:46 am: I can list two guilds;
Number 1- Peace Keepers
Number 2- Azure Sun Legion
just look for people...if someone asks you to join then ask them why. don\'t just join to be apart of a guild. It\'s not why do they want you, it\'s why do you want them? Rembember that and you will be fine.

Edit: this is the adderess to Azure Sun Legion, http://www.asl.us.tt/

Post by: Learch on March 26, 2005, 05:51:05 am: I just haven\'t left the house yet. :)

Thanks for the frank responses.
I\'m no longer the naive noob I used to be. LOL.

So, idle curiosity:
- what does a guild get if it has obscene numbers of members? Bragging rights? Other?
- does the quality of the members of a guild make any difference? If a guild is 90% noobs (hey, GotW let ME in!), does that change anything?

Post by: Robinmagus on March 26, 2005, 06:27:02 am: The number means nothing in the world of respectable guilds.

And if a guild is 90% noob then it wont last. a guild with a few good members are more respected. And they have to be strong to their beliefs, well..thats describing the defenders.

Post by: Areneren on March 26, 2005, 07:00:28 pm: that\'s describing the Defenders, Azure Sun Legion, Peace Keepers, and a few other guilds. Not many mind you, but a few...

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on March 26, 2005, 08:49:00 pm: these weird noob-mass reqruiting guilds are getting on my nerves.... 240 members?!?!?!?!
Whos with me when i say there should be some type of thing you need to make a guild.
One game i played guilds where cokpletly banned because of things like this. Their alternative was having gm- lead guilds only. I dont think that would be a bad idea.

Post by: Icefalcon on March 26, 2005, 08:58:47 pm: Why does it bother you. I\'ve never seen one of their members in my life. :O

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on March 26, 2005, 11:07:40 pm: well when you are in game, and you see a group of people playing planeshift without any rp it makes you wonder...
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 27, 2005, 03:56:22 am: My point is I never see Guardians of the Way in-game even though they have 240 members. Other non-rp guild, yes I agree with you.

Post by: Under the moon on March 27, 2005, 06:22:31 am: Also take note that not a single GotW member has stepped in here to defend themselves. Makes you wonder. :rolleyes:

Wish list efflixi. they need there. theres a thread on this, go and argue your point well freind!!!

Why would they defend themselves. i bet not one of them is registered on the forums.

Hey, whatever guild has all these members...declare war on me, I need some axe training.

Post by: Areneren on March 30, 2005, 03:48:08 am: nice one Slagle. maybe I should do that...guild war them...lol

Post by: Robinmagus on March 30, 2005, 04:09:45 am: Maybe im crazy, but this should be closed. it more belongs in general discussion. it is not a recruitment or promotional thread. nothing to do with what this section is about.
