Pirate Guild 1337
( NOTE: If 1337 doesn't mean anything to you, google it. =P )
Pirate Guild 1337 was just a guild I made to hopefully change the name to something cooler. However, once I made the guild and saw "1337" over my head, I knew the name had to stay. Since creation a few days ago, we have 12 or 13 strong and we're having a blast.
That said, I'll tell you a bit about the guild. It was built basically on random picking and choosing of gunners for a simple plundering session. However, I grew attached immediately to some of the gunners and invited them. I'm sure we all knew at the time that we had something good going!
I'm friends with everyone in the guild. By friends I mean I speak to everyone, everyone speaks to me, and nobody is there just to fill up a spot on the roster. Everyone is friends with each other, too. I constantly see small groups of scallywags working together on their quests. This is the type of atmosphere that a guild is about. I see people complaining about the guild system, with arguments such as:
"You can't even tell if they're online unless you added them to your friends list."
- Why wouldn't you add them to your friend's list? They aren't there just to help you out with quests. If you join the guild and ask people for help right off the bat, what does that say about your reason for joining? Once the guild gets together as a group, you have your opportunity to meet and add everyone.
"You can't even have a 'guild headquarters'. There's no unity!"
- Says who? My War Frigate is my guild's headquarters. We constantly plunder together and I've made it a point to get everyone in the guild onto my friends list, so that if people do need to meet up, they can do so, and add eachother, and go on their way. Use your imagination, things don't always need to be so concrete.
Finishing this post later on.
