Moderator's note: Thread moved to Galactic Republic Guild General forum.
Untill the SWTOR chapter forums have launched, I think we should just use the general discussion to keep interest going and do some chatting.
Guild Name:
For a guild name I was thinking either <Transmogrify>, which means To change into a different shape or form, especially one that is fantastic or bizarre, or <Transfiguren>, which is middle english for Transfigure, which is similar to transmogrify but is more obviously connected to christianity. Both becoming a christian and becoming a force user can be seen as going through a sort of metamorphosis.
Sever Type:
I am partial to RPPvP, which empasizes both the immersion and the PvP, and usually has strict naming rules so you don't have to see anyone named
L33TSAUC3 or PWNINGU or PROD1GY etc etc, however, last time I checked it was unclear as to what sort of server types would be available.
Social Rules Within The Guild:
I would like to see a close connection with fellow guild members. I am going to require that all members sign off on reading at least a prayer list each week to remain in the guild. I know some people don't like to be told they must do this and that, but as Guild Leader your spiritual life is important to me. We are brothers and sisters in Christ, and that relationship comes with expectations given to us by God in His word. If you are like me, staying in God's Word, being in prayer daily (other than thanks for the food), and sharing in the lives of other christians are disciplines that I often find myself lacking in and needing and hoping for accountability. I really hope that something inside of you is pleased with this idea, that you will not be able to just sit at your computer and spend hours on end with the knowledge that you are wasting your life away with nothing fruitful to show for it.
Other social expectations will be that you say hello to people when they sign on, and goodbye when they say they are signing off. It is far less annoying to be hello'd and goodbyed to death than to feel like your presence goes unnocticed. The same is true when questions are asked. I would much rather see people fighting for the chance to answer someones questions than to see someone ignored.
Guild Structure:
It is unclear how guilds will be structured, but we can assume that there will be many similarities to the basic setups we see in most our MMOs. The officer positions will be filled based on a persons helfpfulness and not their level or amount of time in the guild. Promotions just mean you are willing to take on more responsibity, not get added benefits. All guild members will have access to guild resources, and I would like to be able to develope some kind of allowance system to where lower levels can be given game currency each week provided by donations.
Depending on how crafting works, I may suggest that we have a main crafter/s who is/are given most of our crafting resources and can take and fill orders for the other members.
Alts:
The very first guild I was ever in required you to have a max level character in the guild before you could put an alt in. I plan to adapt this sort of policy. Depending on whether there are limits to guild population, perhaps one alt will be accepted.
The problem with altoholics is that they become more of a drain on guild resources, and don't get to the point where they are helpful to the guild, and become more focused on themselves.
If an alt will be allowed, mains will need to be declared, and only mains will have access to guild resources, and you will be expected to honor that and not use the guild to fund your alts.
Anyway, my daughter is having some complications with her oxygen level right now, I have to go, please feel free to chime in, but please don't be rude and if you don't have something positive to say, think of the kindest way you can express yourself.
