Guild seeking guild(s)

[Hrogar]

For some time now my guild (the Imperial Army) have had a discussion on our forum about our numbers. As we are a mediumguild sizewise we have a hard time setting up guildgroups in RvR, at least balanced ones. Our thought was that if any of the other guilds out there has the same problem we could solve this together.
To get to the point I'm talking about a guildmerge here. Since the day I started here on Mid/Excal people have been talking about our main problem being that we have too many small guilds, so this might be one way of dealing with it, albeit not a complete solution. Of course it's a hard decision to just lose your guildname and stuff, but our suggestion is that we go together with one or more of the other guilds to get a better force in RvR with improved opportunities when it comes to getting to 50.
This is just an idea popped by a guildmember quite recently so the details aren't worked out yet really. Main issue will be making two or more guilds into one, so you can keep your buds and get new ones. Guildname, emblem and so on is not decided, and will be a question for those involved.
Also anyone without a guild would be very welcome (as long as they follow guildrules and CoC of course) as we will try to build up an effective and large guild.
So, anyone interested? All guilds would be welcome in this project, regardless of numbers, RP's and such.
Please post a reply here if you're interested, and we'll try and work things out.

Kind regards

I like the idea but I cant see many guilds wanting to basically merge with you, and presumably it would be them who lost their guild name and emblem?

Other ways of doing it would be to create a joint rvr guild between the guilds. Perhaps a name which consists of both names, so that your RvR chars can go in that together but as far as PvE and general guildliness is concerned you are still your own guilds. So essentially two guilds who have 3 guild between them, one which they share for RvR.

Alternatively just to make it easier, keep the guilds as they are but 'partner' with each other. So that on guild hunts and guild rvr where you havent got the numbers, you invite the other guild along.

Although a good idea, problems would in no doubt arise when trying to contact the other Guild. Much easier if they are all on the same Guild chat line and can see what everyone says via /gu

Good luck with the new Guild.

- Make the Emblem a nice and distinctive one... So us Albs and the Hibbies can say "OH SHIT HERE COMES <?>!!"

Small guilds are better than large guilds.

Well the idea is, as previously stated, that any guilds interested come together and have a meeting concerning guildname and emblem.
As for partnership most guilds are aldready more or less partners, and just having a bit more relations with one guild might not just do it. Thanks for the tip though :lol:
Making a new guild only for RvR out of the 50's of several guilds might just work too. Then more people would learn how to work together defending the realm and so on. Although this might become another "leet"-guild that falls apart after a few weeks, as they often do. Interesting suggestion all and all...

 

[BlitheringIdiot]

I doubt it would become a leet guild due to the player base. These are people who havent abandoned there normal guilds for rps and so arent about to dump their guild now just to be leet. However a guild that all their active lvl50's went into along with a few other guilds might not be so awful.

 

[old.anubis]

dont see anything bad if few small guilds will merge
or not merge, but start to make semi-permament inter-guild groups
use alliance chat to form groups or smth like this

 

[Hrogar]

Sure we could arrange more through /as, but anyone asking for group or groupmembers will probably be accused of spamming. And maybe it would disturb the RvR-info given there slightly... I mean if you got like 5 "John Doe lfg (emain)" for every "Albzerg MMG (Emain)" it would get rather confusing.
I didn't mean "leet" as... well uber, more like a couple of lvl 50's hanging together a few nights and then disbanding the guild when they're bored because few new members came. With a guild fro all levels the regrowth would be improved, if not secure. This is just an idea if some people are interested in making a bigger guild, otherwise we'll just stick to ourselves and do our best. After long discussions on our guildforums this idea came up and we thought we'd share it with you others...

Kind regards
