That's the cool part, u don't have to play 24/7 and have your ego attached to your character.

we legitimately tried to be a smaller guild that showed up to pvp over raid targets with little interest in actually running a normal guild, but you guys refused any proposal i had about pushing venril sathir past 9 AM on sundays because none of us wanted to log on that early

you guys refused out of bitterness over affiliation with ex-nihilum and how it was finally "your turn" and continued to raid with 40+ people every week with no contest

that is the exact same thing that nihilum did

you guys acted like the same people you lamented over for years, except you refused to recruit, so you got stomped pretty shortly thereafter when we showed up with 45 ourselves

All that truth burns the eyes

[Stasis01]

You just took Nizzars spot as raid leader.

All this blablabla is irrelevant.

lite was just a quick learner and tried to improve his gameplay in any way possible, which was more than most people were willing to try. he was the first person i saw doing anything with advanced camera perspectives, first person that i remember farming soulfires as a non-paladin (nevermind, heartbrand did this first), etc. he was at least above average at most classes, while most are just average at one, so it puts him above most of the population. he was probably one of the best bards the server ever saw, but i still think crazycloud was the best (and all around best player)

recruiting and leading a guild was mostly a battle of perception/propaganda that our guild was the best option on the server. this often included having to take in undesirable people or total newbies, so it required a lot of extra effort in balancing hand-holding and drama suppression. the core of our guild was already pretty well geared, so it was easy to make political loot decisions to appease the masses instead of putting items maybe where they really should have gone. kunark loot is mostly meaningless, though, so it wasn't a big deal.

i think one of our biggest strengths was constructing the guild to have multiple leaders instead of one. gongshow was realistically THE leader, but responsibilities were spread out pretty evenly. gongshow and i lead raids and were both competent PvP main assists (most guilds struggle to have even one). terpuntine handled most of the clerical management tasks, such as setting up the website, managing DKP, and managing the guild bank. engelburt didn't do much and took a break shortly in, so he was demoted. cyren didn't actually really have any leadership responsibilities. fistlin and omai would come along to help out tremendously with cat-herding when raid sizes swelled to 80s and 90s in velious and gongshow, terpuntine, and i were constantly busy orchestrating the pull team and cleric setups. most of the clerical duties fell to fistlin and omai at that time. the guild never fell apart if one of us wasn't online, but nihilum didn't exist without nizzar, and azrael didn't exist without lite.

the main reason for success, though, was the sheer number of good players we had to carry PvP and raids. most guilds had a small fraction of that amount of really solid players.

Thx for this gr8 info. I’m leading <Castle> on Green and I want to provide good leadership for them. Sounds like delegating was a huge factor, as well as having enough officers to handle it all. I appreciate the brain dump.

Ok ok, haha. Good point. It's definitely less competitive than any PvP server, but I'm still concerned because part of our philosophy is being casual-friendly. We'll have to play it smart.

[White_knight]

to be brutally honest people on red are way more in to gear than people on blue.

blue has huge chunks of the player base that just enjoy playing the game

[Gustoo]

There are red players who just played for fun.

I have one piece of planar on gustoo and he has been alive since server start. Wearing 100% all gear I found grinding. + some hp rings doy.

But yeah gear matters on red and it doesn't matter on blue. You can beat blue with zero gear on anyone in your group.
