Seeds planted, time to grow some Roots.
What we need to accomplish in the next week
- Guild Meeting to organize Crew Skills, start bank with two tabs, resume rank responsibilities.
- Plan groups - i.e. Squad Leaders begin identifying who will be primary participants of our 16 man Operations and/or Rated Warzones. These members need to be brought together before 50.
- Establish a timeline for where we want to be June 1st.
Alpha Syndicate and Alpha Imperium have been established on The Fatman server.
For many of us in an endgame positions it is clear that there is currently no content besides endless warzone queues, and one Operation to pursue. Our choice then is to continue to develop new people to a point that they realize this and quit the game, leaving us with wasted time and investment or move to a server that's passive activity allows us to meet new people, enjoy more varied PvP experiences, and join in on non guild specific content to entertain us between our planned events.
Death Wind Corridor has no recruitment pool, no hope of open world PvP, and without guaranteed cross server Rated Warzones, we already know what PvP will look like; Sith vs Sith against the same pool of 30 people.
Server transfer is the only salvation, but there is no guarantee of when it will happen. It could be two months or five months. Thus investment in a populated server will remedy a few things. Firstly, it will ensure those that make the largest contributions of leadership, activity, help, etc. to the guild are kept engaged with the game while we wait for content. Secondly, population will ensure we can maintain the level of activity guild members expect. And lastly, it will ensure we are able to continue to play SWTOR as it was meant to be played.
Due to majoirty interest our primary focus on the server is Alpha Syndicate and the aggressive leveling of Republic Characters.
If you have no level 50's on Death Wind Corridor, and your main toon is lvl 40+, manage your time to level him to 50 to prime for server transfer. If you have an existing 50, coordinate in Ventrilo to continue to advance his PvP gear at a pace that ensures you are developing on The Fatman with the rest of the guild's new characters. We will transfer these characters and their legacy (if it is not surpassed by that time) to the Fatman.
All members can invite to guild. Log into ventrilo to contact an online members to help you get your Republic Character into Alpha Syndicate and your Imperial Character into Alpha Imperium.
With the majority decision made to be in full support of the Republic, everyone is free to recruit new members to the guild you see leveling alongside you. Others came to the server fo rthe same reason as us, so lets see if they fit in.
For veterans of the game, this is an opportunity to level the appropriate class for what you want to do in endgame in an efficient way, to choose the proper crew skills from the start, and develop them in a way that sets you up for success. For members outside this standing, this is an opportunity to be founding members of our community here in the Fatman, and have stake in our development and success.
This should be an exciting time and a re-invigorating one. Those who do not understand this move, please feel free to PM me, and those who outright oppose it please find a new guild on DWC and remain in contact for when your frustrations lead you to consider quitting the game.
