Dwarf Guild

[Rotzboouf]

Hello @all,

I want to found a new dwarf guild. If you are interested, please let me know.
For further information check http://masadvertth.eamped.com/index.php.

First it should be a german only guild but as some members explained to me that it will not work, I changed it to an english spoken dwarf guild.

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

A joke I hope. Have a look through the forums and you will see how guilds that favour one IC race or one OCC nationality or guilds with no purpose are frowned upon. Your guild is all three.

One word ...

Bah!

[Rotzboouf]

I can understand if you don't like the idea very much, but think also about the ppl who don't speak english as first language. And also I thought that the planeshift community is open to everyone.

So don't make such comments. If you don't want to say anything useful, simply don't say anything.

[Nikodemus]

Then what for are you saying?

[ThomPhoenix]

but think also about the ppl who don't speak english as first language.

Most don't speak English as their first language here, no problems at all. Multiple persons have tried setting up guild like these and it was clearly explained why that is wrong. Search a bit if you like.

And also I thought that the planeshift community is open to everyone.

Yes we are and it's totally unrelated too.

The planeshift community is indeed open to all players .. however the planeshift world, and guilds are a part of that, are predefined. In Yliakum the language or even the nationality German does not exist! Thus a guild which only consists of germans should definitely not exist.

This has nothing to do with people who don't speak english as a first language .. english isn't my first language and everyone is free to speak whichever language they want in private. Public chat in Planeshift is encouraged to happen in english and guilds that unify a certain nationality or language are strongly discouraged. They tear away from the immersion for those who want to roleplay as good as possible.

[Rotzboouf]

Allright. Thanks a lot for your explanation.

Will the guild then have more acceptance if i turn it into an english spoken guild?
For me it is not really a problem to change this.

Heya

There are already at least 2 large guilds that preffer german players, for the same reason that you mentioned.
In my opinion a guild should be based on a real IC story and IC happenings, not on their member's native language - and as you noticed that's the opinion of most around here.
Build your guild around a nice story or something, but please forget about the "only germans" thingy. It sucks

Greetings

I changed it now to an english speaking guild so that everyone can join, not only german speaking players.
I agree with some of you that it will not really work if I make restrictions to the language.
Also I agree with the argument that german is not known in the world of planeshift and so the guild will not meet the requirements of roleplaying.

Listen to Peeg. Also. read the Player, Roleplay and Guild Guides.

You will need to make a really different guild if you want to make it unique even though it's a dwarves guild.

[Karyuu]

What we really need here is a guild history, ranks, rules, and any other pertinent information you can think of :]

[Garris Shrike]

I think a list of ranks and such (see Kary's post) would be good, and I also think that if you have the guild favoring DWARFS only, then you need to have a lot of support and groundwork for it. Set up a website, contact several players Ingame, and talk to the locals about what they would think. Also, your guild (again see Kary's post) needs to have a point or purpose, it can't really be just a guild to "hang out" with people, that won't last long. Good idea, just needs some groundwork laid out for a strong foundation.

[Nikodemus]

just do IC guild, which members can speak english when interacting with others. The rest doesnt matter at all.
