Guild Hex

For many gamers, guild clan website hosting can mean the difference between a guilds life or death, literally. Whether a new or seasoned guild leader, having a personal home on the internet ensures the groups ability to collaborate, discuss, and plan future events. Guild Clan Website Hosting has many benefits: planning, communication, events/raids, scheduling, privacy, discussion forums, recruitment, and many other intangibles.

Ever try to get a group of people together in real life at the same time? Chances are someone has not shown up or didn’t RSVP. With video games the same is true; people need to be able to clearly see a guilds schedule of events on a calendar and be able to plan on attending or letting the guild leader know they can’t make it. Without this virtual home on the internet, guilds and clans would be left to hope X amount of members show up for their newest raid, or event. Now with guild hosting a guild leader can assess if they have enough members to go forward with an event rather than canceling.

Guilds and Clans can take advantage of private forums through a guild hosting provider to air out their indifference or discuss latest strategies, events, and recruitment. Without these private forums guilds and clans would be forced to discuss private/personal issues with guild members over a generic forum where non-members could view this. This is not acceptable so the guild host provider gives the guild/clan privacy as well as their own personal space. Discussing family matters at Dunkin Donuts is analgous to discussing recruitment with non members.

With the new age of guild clan website hosting providers springing up such as CharacterPlanet, it is becoming easier to match Virtual Characters looking for Guilds and Guilds looking for Virtual Characters. By taking the approach of matching Virtual Characters to Guilds/Clans rather than Real Life people to Guilds/Clans Character Planet gives its members ability to be virtually matched. Think E-harmony only for the Virtual Worlds. The ability to save hundreds of hours on recruitment is a greatly added benefit of guild clan hosting. When one views a guild site they can easily see what race/class level combinations the guild needs as well as what level equipment one should have or any stipulation such as, real life tournament experience for Counter Strike or Epic gear for World of Warcraft.

Hosting can also mean more notoriety within the gaming community. If you have a guild clan website it immediately gives your organization the credibility it deserves. This landing page for the curious, envious, and even your enemies will solidfy your position for that game or games. Fires of Heaven is a great example as their website received hundreds of thousands of hits. It is forming this buzz about ones guild that also leads to more recruits and of course more enemies.

Depending on what game one plays there are a myriad of guild website hosting templates and clan templates as well. A World of Warcraft guild website will certainly look different than a Halo or EverQuest site but the principles are the same. Whether you want to gain more credibility, become more organized as a leader, or create a sense of teamwork within your own guild/clan, guild clan website hosting is beneficial.

There are of course both paid and free hosting solutions. The paid services in the past have dominated but the free ones have made leaps and bounds to give the same services and better in some instances. Most of the paid providers lack a community wrapped around the hosting to make recruitment more tedious than necessary. Regardless of the route you choose, be sure to utilize the awesome power of immortalizing your Guild on the internet with a place you can call home.

A testimony to their huge popularity was that many music legends of that time like Johnny Smith, Duane Eddy, Roy Orbison, John Lee Hooker, Merle Travis, Paul Simon, Keith Richards, Dave Davies, George Benson, Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, Richie Havens, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Miller, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Doc Watson, Ry Cooder, George Strait all preferred using this guitars.

Guild bass guitars had only three models in those initial days and these were F-30 Aragon, F-40 Valencia and F-50 Navarre. These models were introduced in the year 1954 and by 1963 other famous models such as D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee and D-50 Bluegrass Special were launched. The D-55 which is also a very popular model was introduced in the year 1968. The six string and 12 string guild bass guitars were a rage at that point of time and many considered them matchless. The 12 string guitar uses the Jumbo F body which gives it a distinct tone unlike other guitars which also have the 12 strings.

The folk music craze was at its peak at that point of time and the guild bass guitars were a hot favorite property. It was the days of the Woodstock festival of music and Richie Havens who many consider as one of the biggest legends of music who mesmerized audiences all over the world used the guild bass guitar. After years of popularity the company did encounter some problems along the way but like a phoenix rising out of the ashes restructured itself and came back to occupy a position as one of the leading manufacturers of guitars. The company did move to a larger place to accommodate the ever increasing demand for its model of guitars.

In the year 1995 Guild was acquired by Fender Musical Corporation and this added a new chapter in the company’s growth. There has been constant innovation and experimentation with the designs and this has resulted in their models been loved the world over. There have also been numerous variations to the existing models to make them look and sound better. The models can be classified as DV series, GAD series and Traditional series and each one of these series has many models. We have tried to, list some of the more famous models. The various models of the guild bass guitars are F-50, F-50 with D-Tar pick up system, F-50R, F-50R with D-Tar pick up system, F-30 Aragon, F-30 Aragon with D-Tar pick up system, F-40 Valencia, F-40 Valencia with D-Tar pick up system, F-47M, F-47M with D-Tar pick up system, F-47R, F-47R with D-Tar pick up system, F-412, F-412 with D-Tar pick up system, F-512 and F-512 with D-Tar pick up system. Each one of these models has a unique feature and this makes the sound totally distinct.

The quality and durability of this guitar is very good and has helped it retain its favorite position among all music lovers.

During the BlizzCon 2009 event a new and quite exciting system was announced – the Guild Advancement System. From what the developers shared with us, it seems that the new system will allow the guild to level in a similar way to leveling characters. There will be total of 20 levels for guild progression and the experience gained will be obtained from the top 20 players (most active players) in the guild in terms of raid bosses killing, PvP battlegrounds victories, PvP arena matches victories, professions level and skilling up and alike. The very interesting feature, at least in my eyes is the fact that Guild XP can be farther converted into some sort of currency which can be used to buy guild-bound items. Similar to the account-bound items, such items can be something similar to the heirlooms just that it can be shared with other guild members, raid materials and such.

The way the Guild XP will be earned has some rules specified, however as the expansion is still under development, a lot can change. What we know so far is that participation in boss kills and rated battlegrounds will count towards Guild XP only if at least 75% of the party is from the same guild. The individual player’s advancements such as faction reputation advancements and profession advancements will count only from a number of players and not from the entire guild as total. This will allow smaller guilds to be able to compete with larger guilds as long as they have enough very active members.

The guilds will be awarded 1 guild-talent point as the guild advanced from one level to the next one, and this point can be used to get a guild-wide talent. There is very little information available at this point about what these talents will be, but we do know that these talents will be oriented towards giving more convenience in guild events rather than individual players performance bonuses. Such guild convenience abilities that will most likely be included are mass resurrection after a wipe, reduced cost on repairs, no reagents for raid-wide buffs and similar.

There are also Guild Achievements being implemented which will be quite similar to the Individual Player’s Achievements but will be applied to the guild as a whole. Such achievements will be awarded for clearing a raid instance, having at least one person with maximum profession points in each profession and much more.

It appears that Blizzard is giving us even more reasons to join a guild and stick to it, make new friends and explore the World of Warcraft universe with them, defeat powerful bosses and train our professions in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion.
