Okay, so I was reading this magazine I got called Massive (Great magazine, worth buying.) and I read up on this bit which was named the syndicate. It was awesome. They're this guild that was created in '96, with 550 members and they've got their name copyrighted. Whoa. See, that's the kind of guild I like to join, guilds who've got a commitment to their ideals and what they want out of a guild. So far I've found one like that, but nowhere near to the extent of what this guild is. Just thought everyone oughta know.

I was checking out their FAQ and they get like 10 applications to the guild a day. Wow!!! Now that is one deticated guild leader!

I'll pass. I don't want to be part of a huge serious guild like that. They tend to have goals and directions and all kinds of formal stuff that squeezes every last drop of fun out of the experience.
I'd much rather just stick with a small guild that's not too serious about anything and just wants to enjoy the game they play.

| QUOTE | No. We are not a powergamer (PG) guild. We do defeat the end game content in the games that we play but we do not powergame to achieve it. Whereas a commonly accepted definition of a PG guild is one that spends most nights of the week, and all weekend, raiding nonstop and will throw dozens of attempts at an encounter in a very short period of time, that is not us. We do have extremely skilled raiders in the guild and do defeat the end game content in games that we play but we do not raid every night therefore we will take more calendar time to defeat some encounters than a PG guild does. Conversely, nearly every PG guild eventually implodes and ceases to exist and we have been around since 1996 and will continue to be around for many years more. So you gain stability and membership in a guild where you matter and are important and are a friend and not just a piece of meat to be used for the guilds goals (while you strive to use the guild for your own before they kick you out or you burn out). So in a word: No. We are not a powergamer guild and we are very proud of that fact and that we still do defeat the end game content in the games that we play yet dont lose site of what is really important, to us: our members and our friendships.

I am with BP on this one. If they enjoy their big guild, good for them! It is indeed quite impressive they survived 10 years of gaming. But I am all for the small guild. It might not survive forever, but neither does my interest for the game. And a new game means new friends, new experiences.
How can you even really know 500+ people? The purpose of a guild it to make friends, getting to know them, and they are easy to find again the next day. 500+ people sounds more like a server to me, and therefore it lost its purpose.
And on top of that I am in for the journey. I probably will never do a raid, and I am not overly excited about any endgame. So yeah, I'll stick with AMP. That is, if I can still stand up after all the grog I have been drinking at the Roaring Mouse.

That's because there really wasn't enough of an intrestest or community when it was started. There are a couple of GameAmp groups that are going strong. It is a matter of the community on the site, and the intrest.

I blame devs for that. Why the hell do they have to divide American and Europeans to different servers. One thing that makes the Guild Wars Amp guild strong is that it's possible to Americans and Europeans to interact with each other.

That really is only part of it. There aren't a lot of active members in the community over there yet. And there are a lot of people who have become very attached to their current character. Starting a guild was hard because everyone had to start over from scratch, on a totally new server. That doesn't make good for a new guild starting out.
I have no doubt when there is more activity over there, we can get a good one going. The first step is getting people all on the same server.
Here it is cool, because we can designate an unofficial GameAmp server before the game launches. That way, when new people come here, we can tell them to join our server and in on our fun.

I guess I'm used to it *grin*. And just fyi, I never use the prod on anyone who asks for it. It would be much of a punishment then.

But "sweetness in a triangle" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I've saved the Hoppy. It took hours of hard work, and perseverance, but I persevered. Yeah. What now? Oh, and as an added extra special bonus, I gave the little cutie-pie his own 'tat's. They're hidden quite well, you'll have to look hard to find them. Hint: They're awesome.
