I've read a bit through your website and I have come up with the following critic. Before releasing it though, I'd like to say I appreciate the way you've dealt with critic up until now and how you are dedicated to the improvement of your guild. I wish you the best of luck!
To start, I believe you give too much importance to what we call "Power Leveling." In other words, you seem to require that your players max out their stats, but apparently you don't care how they develop their character at all. This means you will be prone to get moronic players with high stats, a guild that isn't fun to anyone but your own members and a frown from some people who'd rather not have so much players wasting away all that the beautiful setting of Planeshift has to offer. *grins*
I'm not overly fond with the introduction of Paladins into PS. Like Zan mentioned in another thread, it's like Samurai, only it strikes as less than odd since it doesn't sound so foreignish. The Dark Empire has the title of Knight as well, something we couldn't get rid off. Just so you know I aim at everyone
. Anyway, since my lack of originality is apparent as well, if you can come up with something different, do tell.
Third point would be about the website. It doesn't look nice and it's hard to read. There should be more sections... Check out some other guild's website to have a better idea. I know this one isn't much (
http://darkempire.xordan.com) but it's done with wordpress, something even I can use!
Last, but not the least, I think you should take better advantage of Planeshift's setting, to illustrate your guild in a unique way, rather than having it sound like the normal, boring Paladin guild. For instance, mention Hydlaa's and Oja's need of a suitable civilian guard, to complement each town's own guard, or justify the need for a force that protects that roads and outer regions from evil threats. We could surely use that!
That way we'd see the Paladins as true Paladins, plus as true people of Yliakum. A Force that ensures the safety of people, walking the earth to find criminals and bringing judgement upon them.
I'm sure you can do it. And if you need some help, ask around.
