Let's be a bit realistic about guild creation a year in advance.

in Guilds

I seriously doubt any of you would-be guild leaders are going to follow through and create the "next big thing" in guilds when the game has about a year to go in development.

"Time.." I chuckled "I hold no secret to time, though it's mystery puzzles me. Deny it's existence and lie to myself not with hopes of a quickened pace."

    But not all of us are "would-be" or trying to be the "next big thing"... Some of us have been around for a damn long time now and are just making our intentions known. I do agree with you about a lot of start-up guilds, but be careful lumping them all together, cause some do make it through the development phase and do rather well ingame. Every long term guild out there today was a startup guild at some point in the past...

    Nothing wrong with starting up guilds but when it's a year before the game will be released I believe is quite impulsive.

    i made a guild with some national people(danish only guild), 4 months before WoW started.. as soon as i got into the game, the people were assholes :P
    so i see your point, in making a guild 1 year in advance(or even more),
    and then kinda let it decay over time, and in the end, people dont want to actually play the game,
    or simply dont want to be in your guild...

    also when you "migrate" from one game to another, alot of the players will be lost, and you seem to have 5% of the original guild.. i like the idea of making a guild tho(i am very excited about Warhammer online :D)

    Thats why my guild is so much better, we are a multi-game guild. So whatever cool game comes out, I dont have to join another guild.

    As for guilds starting up this early, it can be done... I joined a Warcraft guild many months before the game came out. It was ok for the most part, the leader turned out to be very inexperianced... but overall not bad.

    My advice is watch out for the drama, people who like to do this are the ones you need to get rid of quickly as possible, they will get bored fast and start causing trouble.... next thing you know your guild has disbanded before the game was ever released..lol..

    Averardus I've got the same thing as you
    we are a multigaming society, but we started as an Matrix Online guild, more then a year before even beta had started. Of course not everybody who joined that early made it into the game but v much did, then as soon as ppl started leaving MxO cuz the game was boring we turned into a multi gaming society so everybody could stay and play other games :)
    and now we're setting up a WAR division :D

    Well, I wound't say that it is a bad idea to start recruting members this early.. Because in here you could start chatting with other gamers, write about what you appreciate in game for example:

    Do you enjoy a community-guild ( Do a lot of talking with your- and other guilds )

    Enjoy a war Guild ( Talks for itselves - Kill frenzyyyy..)

    Enjoy Small-Guild ( 5-10 people wandering around dealing with quests, helping each other and so on)

    Nation-Guild ( For example Pure Danish guld, practical during quick thinking situations - talk your motherlanguage)

    And many more options.. So I think that it is a good oppotunity to discover guild-friends,And guild enemies

    eh start up guilds are just trying to better the chances of beta is all. Since they will invite guilds in also when a beta opens. Dont know weve been 300 strong in l2 and wow. Then as games get boreing people wander off and say hi every now and again. So trying to get people early never hurts.

    I hope your not talking about Desolation, We have been around for many years and have homes in several MMOs and hope to re-unite under one banner in the same game again. But then again Grr is not a would-be Guild leader in and shape or form, he truely cares about the guild.

    I'd agree, we (Dp) were leaning towards LoTR online, with a late 2006 release.. well when they changed the release again it pulled our plans back.  But we are basically a group of college friends that still play wow...  Yes we are just getting started, but like I said we are all friends in college just getting things started.  :D so hope to see you all in game in the future.

    Several guilds are hold overs from the Climax days (mine included)
    Sure it has a year to go But "Trying to better the chance of beta" is
    not what we're about- Actually we're all about pie.

    My guild is having fun and the games not even out yet - I have no
    worries about the Boys making it to launch. Guilds wont be as important
    for advancment as in WOW - meaning people will be free to just play the
    game and have fun. (which is they way things should be!)

    A couple of people mentioned starting guilds and having the members turn into jerks once the game launches. That is possible but if you make it very clear what your guild is all about and what is and is not tolerated you cna help minimize this...

    Starting up early is kinda good i think, the guild that last the longest time is those who started up so early. cause when waiting on the release you can sit and chat or talk over Ventrilo/Teamspeak and getting to know each other, and mabye get a new life-bounded friend =). So i think creating a guild so early is a postive thing.

    LotD has been around 12 years and through multiple games. There's nothing wrong with advertising your guild in games you may play, and the wannabe guilds will weed themselves out anyway.

    There's always one who has to complain about something ... big deal, so a guild starts a year in advance ... and it's destroying your life HOW? Obviously this *IS* realistic or MMORPG.com, IGN, WarCry, and Allakazahm wouldn't have added a forum specifically FOR GUILDS a year in advance.



    A guild is just a bunch of friends looking to find others with SIMILAR INTERESTS ... why start interviewing the developers two years in advance? Why pre-order? Why read the forums a year in advance? To everyone who is starting a guild for WAR or whom is likely to start one anytime before the game starts ... more power to you ... go for it!

    Heheheh... check out our website. Were like 70 memebers plus. We aren't any sort of multi gaming guild. Our leader started it from scratch. We may not start the game with this many people... but We'll certianly have over 30 members going in game. I have a feeling my expectations will grow closer to game release. We all talk on forums a lot so I know most of my guildies very well and play fps with themn while waiting for the game to be released. You have to start somewhere... usually sooner the better.

    I hardly see the point in coming onto these forums and telling us were not gonna make it though. Sounds like your just upset about something. ^^

    Oh yeah.... almost forgot. www.afterworldgaming.com

    Don't let the name fool you it's no multi-gaming guild. Afterworld was just taken.
