World of Warcraft Guilds – 5 No Nonsense Solutions to Healing an Ailing Guild

5:55 am by admin. Filed under: Guild Guide

The state of your world of Warcraft Guild should be a major concern for all players involved, Officers and members alike. When you have a problem with the direction that your guild is going you need to come up with some ideas regarding what needs to be done. Our guild is presently going through a very trying time and I though I would share our solutions with you.

In this article I am going to outline some ideas that I see as solutions to when a guild is on the rocks. Many may not like the things that I am going to suggest, others will.

We are a casual guild that has been raiding of late but we suffer from lack of participation from many of our members. The lack of participation stems from many different things including real life issues and the game becoming stale.

If you want a guild to survive then here are a few solutions that may help.

1.) Leave it as it is

In this scenario the guild stays just as it is. This solution is usually the death blow to any guild that has become stagnant. If your World of Warcraft guild stagnates it will become simply a glorified chat room for some players and a stepping stone to a better guild for others.

A guild that has degenerated into a family or chat guild will remain for quite awhile. Take it from me I have been involved in many of them over the years and most of them are still part of the gaming universe that they were created in.

Leaving your guild as it is means that you as a player have to get used to the fact that raiding is going to be a hit or miss thing and unfortunately mostly miss. New players will come over time and others will leave. Some will be content with their life in the guild and will be there forever.

2.) Dig in and make a go of it

Choosing this option means that you may have to take a look at completely revamping the guild including its structure and the players you have in place as officers. Will everyone be happy? No. Will you lose players? Yes. That is the price that you going to have to pay if you want to dig in and make your guild the one that you want it to be.

There are those who are going to say you don’t need change and those are the players that are content with life as it is. It is time to take a look at what you as a whole want and then make it happen.

Your officers are going to have to be ready to commit to more raid time, and need to be at as many raids as possible. If they cannot do this then they need to be replaced by players who can. I know everyone has a real life and time is precious but it is something that must be done if you want to create an atmosphere where raiding is the norm.

You should take a survey to determine which days are the best for your guild to raid. If the majority can be online Friday, Saturday, and Sunday…then those are the raid days. Other nights you should be doing heroics for those interested. Those who are not interested in participating in some guild activity are honestly dead weight and need to be left behind.

If your guild is anything like ours everyone says that they want to raid and get the best items available. However, your guild like ours has to do more than just talk about it. Purples do not fall out of the sky or arrive in our mail box in brightly colored gift wrap. If you want it then you have to earn it. If earning it means devoting more real life time to the game then we each need to make a decision. The $64 question is are we willing to trade real life time for game time to get them? If you are not willing then step aside and let others lead who can do it.

3.) Move to another Guild

You could do this but I suggest that you do some real research first. You must be very careful when looking for a guild to join. Real raid guilds want players that can be dedicated and be at the raids. If your own performance is lacking in that area then why would you jump to a fully raid based guild? Chances are that when a raid guild learns that you cannot or will not make a certain percentage of their raids you will be asked to leave or not be accepted in the first place.

If you decide to choose another casual guild you need to be sure that they are actually raiding and that you can commit to their raid schedule. You do not want to jump ship only to find that the ship that you jumped to is named the Titanic.

4.) Server Move

This is another area that requires some thorough research. Perhaps you could discover the name of the newest server that fits your game style (PvE or PvP) and move there. Before you jump you need to find out what guilds are on the new server and decide if you can take a bite out of the player base and create a new guild there.

The key here is that you want a server with a fairly sparse guild population. Once you decide which server then you need to move as a group and start a new guild immediately and recruit hard. However this gets right back to our commitment and play time problem.

Why jump to a new server and start an exact replica of what you already have. If you are going to suffer in misery you might as well do it where you are.

4.) Guild Merger

Take a look at some of the smaller guilds on your server and see if they are looking toward raid content. Once you find a suitable guild you can either ask them to merge with you or merge with them. Personally I don’t like the idea of losing my guild’s identity but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Many guilds will want you to merge with them and perhaps rightly so. Your roster may say that you have 200+ members when in actuality you only have about 30 active members. The rest are alts from other guilds, alts of our own, or people who have not played in months. Should the guild that you have chosen have more active players and is going in the direction that you want to go, then merge with them.

When your guild is experiencing real problems these are the options that you have as I see them. Remember that you need to do something to ensure that you are satisfied with your gaming experience. If you are happy with most of your guild mates I suggest that you should do something as a group. Trickling off the main characters to other guilds until your guild is nothing but an alt, family, or chat guild is NOT my idea of doing something.

The Guild of Dark Knights

5:47 am by admin. Filed under: Guild Guide

The Guild Of Dark Knights is a MMORG and is free to play for anyone.

You join the game as a low life knight. The whole objective of the game is to rank and bank. You can start off with stealing carts and committing crimes. Once you have built up enough money you will be able to do an Organised Crime (OC). When you do an OC you get a lot of money as well as rank. But you usually have to share the money out with everyone else in your tea. People may kill you, if this happens you have to re-register and start the game ALL over again. So do not hesitate to shoot them if they come in your way. Finally, I hope you enjoy the game and if you have any questions, queries, problems or suggestions, feel free to contact a moderator or administrator.

Crimes, Steal A Cart and Missions are the core of the game however there are also casinos and other features where you can go against the game or other players for extremmley large amounts of money. You may also kill people for money, betrayal, power or maybe they got twisted up in your business.

The Guild Of The Dark Knights has no real end to the game. The missions are only additional most of the game is ment to be what you make it e.g Guild Wars, Disputes, Rivalrys and killings. TGODK has no winner either, the current best player could be betrayed or killed at any moment in time. One thing you will eventually learn maybe even the hard way that friends are the best thing on TGODK.

Risen Guild – How to Join the Top Ranked Guild Risen

5:46 am by admin. Filed under: Guild Guide

After many adventures in World of Warcraft, I have become an accomplished player. I have often wondered if I have the skills to play on one of the top ranked guilds. Maybe you have thought about the same thing. So in this article I explore the requirements to play for the guild Risen.

Who They are Looking For

The guild Risen only recruits from certain classes at any given time. It is best to check their website to see what players they are looking for. If you are not in a class they need you can still apply if you are an exceptional player.

Skills you Need

You must have high end raiding experience in 25 player battles. You will also need enchanted gear. Another requirement is the ability to listen/speak on vent, take criticism, and follow through with multipart instructions.

Application Process

To apply there is a short questionnaire including but not limited questions about your raiding experience, why you left your guild, why you want to join Risen, your class role, and additional information. They stress that your answers be thoughtful.

Risen also requires a list of references and WWS parse if available. It can take up to 4 weeks to review applications and Risen do not look kindly an applicants who try to contact them in game about their applications especially during raids.

Time Requirement:

You must meet strict time requirements which include raids 6 nights and sometimes even 7 days depending on the content. The raids are from 7pm-12am CST. If you can not commit to these times it is best not to apply

If you meet all these requirements you may just be a right fit for one of the top ranked guilds in America.

Guild Wars Farming Guide For Gold

5:39 am by admin. Filed under: Guild Guide

One of the fastest ways to start building up your gold in Guild Wars is to perfect your farming skills so you can find more items which can then be sold. Gold in Guild Wars is an important part of your survival in the game. Without plenty of gold, it’s difficult to do much of anything within the world of Guild Wars. Warrior are great candidates for farming as they can get by farming on their own. If anything having a farming character is a great way to have a constant flow of gold to your more important Guild Wars accounts.

Farming in the Underworld of smite crawlers is a good way to constantly recover items that can be sold as a source of gold. Bonneti’s defense, Dolyak signet, healing signet, Watch Yourself, Vengeful was Khenhei, and Vengeful Weapon are all essential skill needed for this farming build. Any additional speed buffs like sprint make farming even easier. The faster you can farm, the faster you can start building up on your gold.

In the beginning, use your extra speed to get yourself out of the chamber while avoiding the Aatxes. The way this farming build is setup makes in impossible your one to kill Aatxes, so running is usually the only option. Once you grab sight of the Lost Soul, you can get your quest there. Instantly your map should be showing many Grasping Darkness’s. Try to attract a few at a time so you can handle them, and slowly pick them off. This build won’t be able to handle all the Darknesses at the same time, so try to do your best to entice 3 or 4 away from the pack at a time.

Once lured, from the pack, you can use your Dolyak with a sword or axe at this point, or when Bonetti’s has fully charged. Vengeful was Khanhei can then be used to wipe out your enemy. Do this repeatedly and you should be able to clear out the enemies fairly quickly. The faster you take out the Darknesses the better so they aren’t able to drain all your energy. Bonetti’s is extremely effective here.

Each time you do this you should be able to loot at least 10,000 in gold each run. Though it may be easier for you to just purchase 100,00 gold using real money for usually less than $20. For those on a budget though, this is a great way to callect Guild Wars gold.

Guild Wars – Eye of the North – New Title Track and Map

5:37 am by admin. Filed under: Guild Guide

Guild Wars: Eye of the North is the first true expansion to the original installment of the series, Guild Wars. The biggest addition found in Eye of the North is the introduction of two new races. The Asura and the Norn.

The Norn are introduced in the game first. The Norn are giant warriors that hail from the Far Shiverpeaks. The Norn are similar to druid classes in other games, as they have the ability to transform in to a bear during battle.

On the Guild Wars Eye of the North map you’ll see numerous Resurrection Shrines market by a dot. At each resurrection shrine, you’ll find a NPC that will give you 1 Reputation point for each dead creature. The ability to travel down multiple title tracks, is a feature introduced by Arenanet in Guild Wars: Nightfall. Now in Eye of the North you can ear random bonus that will skyrocket your reputation points from time to time. Just like any other Title Track, Reputation points are earned by completing Norn quests and cleaning out dungeons in the area. But now Resurrection Shrines offer you the chance to rack up many reputation points at one time.

The Norn Title Track is obviously a new addition as well. Following this Title Trac will earn you access to Norn NPC’s, Norn Skills, and all quests associated with that track. Norn are very stubborn and won’t even talk to you till you’ve reached Rank 1. At Rank 3 and Rank 4 you earn the ability for crafters to create consumables as well as weapons. At Rank 5 you’ll finally gain access to the Norn armorers.

The fun thing about climbing the ranks of the Norn Title Track is that for every new NPC that you talk to, they will challenge you to one battle before offering you there services. Partying up for these battles isn’t a bad idea.

You should be trying to earn the Norn Hunting Part Blessing as soon as possible. Without the blessing you can’t be rewarded bonuses at the shrines. You should remember that each NPC can only reward you a bonus but once. After the first 25 kills, you’ll be awarded a random bonus for every 5 kills there after during that battle.

Each time you upgrade Norn Hunting Party, you’ll also increase the number of reputation points you receive from these bonus battles. Use these bonus sparingly as you can only be reward once per NPC.

Atlantica Guild Points

5:28 am by admin. Filed under: Guild Guide

Increasing Guild Points

Creating a guild has great advantages for players in Atlantica. You will have alot of people to quest or grind with making Atlantica one of the most community friendly games i have ever played. With a guild you can create crafting jobs that when completed can be shared to all the guild members. For example: crafting a ton of potions would help the guild heal or recover mana and save their money that way. Potions is just a simple example of what types of jobs you can craft for the guild. There are much more rewarding benefits and crafting jobs available.

Everytime you complete a crafting job gain some guild points which is essential to your guilds growth and levels. There are TWO main ways to gather guild points for the guild. I will start with the first one as you don’t have a choice in the other option in the beginning until you obtain a town as that is the goal. A minor way to get some easy guild points is to have your members not log off the game when they are done playing! You get guild points for people being online and active.

Guild Quests!

These are important to purchase early on especially when a guild is first created as the first few days are very crucial of your growth and success of your guild. You can start a guild quest by purchasing a Managers Scroll from the market. Once again there are levels of Manager Scrolls that you can purchase (Beg, Int, Adv). You can right click these scrolls and get a guild quest and you complete them like you would any other quest, once you complete it you will automatically get the guild points and experience or gold that might have come along with the quest.

Once you get enough points you will be able to gain more levels to your guild and be able to recruit more members. I would encourage members to do 3-4 guild quests a day (they don’t take too long). Your main goal when starting your guild is to get that TOWN! I would recommend that you save at least 3k-3.5k guild points before you make a bid on a town. Don’t worry too much about what town you get in the beginning although a popular town would be awesome but would have more competition. Once you have the town you can save up to contest other higher level ones.

Town Quests + Buildings!

Once you have taken control of a town you have the ability to complete town quests which in my opinion are a little tougher than normal guild quests. The degree of difficulty also depends on what level you are also. I have found town quests to be a little more convenient to do though. To start a town quest you must have a Manager Scroll just like with guild quests. Just right click.

Helpful tip when doing guild, town, or normal quests: Particularly in town quests and guild quests and in some cases normal quests you will be asked to kill monsters that you have no idea of where they might be. Unless you someone that likes to explore and do less grinding then you will get a little frustrated. Share Monster INFO! if you have enough Will then ask your guild or ask friends to share the info for the monster if they have it. If you can get 3 parts of information on a single monster you can directly teleport to it or automove if you choose. This will save you tons of time when you want to get quests done quickly and do less frantic searching.

Town Buildings!

You can also get a bunch of guild points by starting and completing town buildings. But just like crafting a job with the guild your guild members must be active to complete the job. After every battle you will complete a portion of certain jobs or buildings by a certain amount depending on level and what level monsters being defeated.
