State of love and trust ...
I woke up in a beautiful morning, sun is shining, its fresh and the smell of coffe is just starting to spread arround the office. I hope everyone just leaves me to finish my work in peace and enjoy the day being easy.
Alright!
In the past week our guild got bigger for quite a few members, I will use this opportunity to welcome all of you under our roof again. By now some of you probably figured out to some extent what kind of guild we are and what kind of atmosphere we have inside our ranks an I hope you like it. If you like soloing, solo, but team as much as you feeel comfortable with your guild mates, because that is how friendships are formed - by doing things together, by relying on eqach other, by sharing the joy of victory and weight of defeat - and finaly share the spoils of war together. If you do that throughout your leveling, by the time you reach the top, you will have developed bonds that will not be easy to break. That is what we need and what we strive for - bonds. It is more valuable than any epic drop out there. Be calm, be patient when the time and situation demands it and be tolerant to other peoples whishes and points of view.
When you have time, browse through the archives of this page and read the old posts. You will find many useful things, and you will get the feeling how the guild developed, what we have done so far, and what goals we will strive to reach in the future. Initiative is highly appreciated. If you want something done, do it. If you want something organised, organise it. You are not limited by your level or your rank. The only limit you have is the level of commitment you want to invest.
Learn to use and rely on the group calendar. It is easier for all of us if we know what is going to happen a few days in advance, and we can decide wether we have time to do it or not. Sometimes your events and instance groups will not get filled, sometimes they will. Basicaly it goes like this - if you start putting things into calendar, and people join your groups, after a while they will figure out if you are serious, if you make things happen, and you will get more constant attendance to the things you plan.
Learn to use teamspeak - its a nice tool and you will see that it will only get you connected more. It doesnt matter if your english is not perfect or if you have a funny accent, or if you miss every second word - it really doesnt. Very few of our members are british, and we all have funny accents and non-perfect english :). If you still don't feel comfortable, or if you don't have a microphone, you can still join and be able to listen to the leader of the group organising and giving out orders.
That much for now. See you ingame.
Cheers!
