Guardians of the Way guild
« 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?

Well it is quite obvious :P

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

Mass recruiters..yay! (i get alot of them in my alt ;) )

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.

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/

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?

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.

that\'s describing the Defenders, Azure Sun Legion, Peace Keepers, and a few other guilds. Not many mind you, but a few...

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.

Why does it bother you. I\'ve never seen one of their members in my life.  :O

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.

Also take note that not a single GotW member has stepped in here to defend themselves. Makes you wonder. :rolleyes:
