Tiger - Venture Co.

... whats just beneath the horizon.

First I am going to feed you some facts about our current situation.

- Summer is blowing full right now, and we have plenty of inactive people on the roster at this moment, who have not been playing for a while. They are taking a break, are on vacation and so forth and they will be back. We are not cleaning the roster because of that, and we will have a big house cleaning in autumn.

- Roughly 30% of our guild is made out of alts. Alts are fun to play, especially when there is no one arround and you want to have some low level fun BUT we have alot of alts in the guild that have been not loged in in ages. Two alts per player rule still stands. We can make an exception to this if you really are playing ACTIVELY on more than 2 of them and I know some people in our guild that do so, but most of us don't - but that depends on the individual case. When the big september cleaning starts, alts will have the same treatment as regular players. Those that have NOT been logged on for ower a month will be kicked from the guild, with the player being able to bring it back at any time if he decides to play it actively. We can not have our guild roster cluttered with level 15 alts that have not been loged in for ages. Also, we will employ a new rule, starting today, which will hold for any new players we recruit is that you need to be level 40 for one alt, and level 50 for having 2 alts in the guild. I hate rules that restrict people, but we can not afford anymore to go and recruit for example priests because we need them in the guild, and in 3 days time the person decides to stop playing a priest and start playing a warrior for example. Getting to level 40 is not hard, its reasonable, it can be done under a month or two with a very casual approach. Once you are 40, you have invested something into your character and you won't dump it just like that. Also if you are really unhappy about playing a certain class and you absolutely don't want to stick with it, you should talk with me or one of the officers and see what can be done, but for the good of the guild, try sticking with the class we recruited for a while, as each and every one of them has bumps in the road that you get stuck on, but you just need to work it through.

- Some of us have been venturing into Molten Core and Zul'Gurub alot recently, getting some gear and grabbing some expirience and knowledge in how to do things. If you want to experience endgame content I urge you to join us up here and learn the tricks of the trade together with us. Sometimes its frustrating, sometimes it is fun. I'm looking forward to doing things with more of you guys, all you need to do is work your way up here.

- Some of our members - Grimey comes into mind, have been experiencing total lag which makes the game unplayable and that really makes me sad and frustrated. Its like if you buy a ferarri and figure out you can't drive it faster than 60 km/h. It is a problem that happens to ALL servers, so I guess blizzard should start feeding their hampsters or something. I hope it gets resolved really fast.

What is infront of us :

- We have a recruiting spree infront of us - we will be getting alot of new people if the luck serves us. Our officers and me will be more strict and dirrect in impowering our rules. We will not tolerate intolerance, irresponcibility and being a jerk in general.

- As much as I hate do do it, we will request from our future members to be able to communicate effectively in english. It can be as crooked and twisted version of english as you like, but we need to be able to understand our members, and our membwers need to be able to understand us. We have had some bad expiriences just because of the language barrier.

- Getting you all on Teamspeak at least when we do stuff. You don't have to speak, but you need to at least listen.

So in short, we will get more people, we will boot the bad seeds, we will get more of you up to 60 and hopefully we will not lose any or many of our current 60s to other guilds, and we can look forward to a really active autumn. Getting more people to participate in and organise things on ALL levels and in the end kicking WoW's backside bigtime :D

Cheers!
