As well as having access to all the perks, Lords members can get the extra bonus of easy access to the perks via their UI, as guild officer Turalagon has created an addon for guild perk access (available using our guild forum).

The officer corps now comprises of Turalagon, Tarn, Winterfold, Bestiarius, Kyrillia, Zaryá, Throttle, Esperance and Durathor.  Our Guild Master is Arvariena.

Secondly, in guild news, the co-GM position has been cancelled as Durathor is busy with RL commitments and has requested to return to being an officer. Arvariena has remained as GM. The officer corps now consists of Winterfold, Tarn, Turalagon, Bestiarius, Angeya and Durathor, as Railor and Revver have left the guild.

Looking forward to seeing you all in game.

Love
Arv

In practical terms, there can only be one person with the GM rank in a guild in-game and so a new rank of ‘Co-GM’ has been created, which will be assigned to me, whilst Arvariena will take the Guild Master title – although this may be swapped from time to time as needed e.g. for holidays.

In terms of guild management, major guild decisions will still be reached between all of the officers as they are today.

The ‘about us‘ and ‘conduct‘ pages should give you an idea of the kind of rules and behaviour that is expected within the guild to help maintain the friendly atmosphere.

I’d also like to point you to the forum, where you can join in the discussion. Once you register, I’ll promote you to have access to the rest of the forum as soon as I can. In particular please say hello in the ‘introduce yourself thread’

Enjoy your stay

The thinking behind this is that deposits and withdrawals can be very unclear in terms of who benefits. One person can deposit nothing and then repair on behalf of the guild bank, and another might deposit large amounts of gold and take no benefit from it. Seems like a fairly strange state of affairs, so I’m proposing a moratorium on using the guild bank for gold unless someone can think of a more equal way of spreading gold deposited to repairs / gold withdrawn.

If not, then we’ve got a lot of gold in the bank with nothing to do with it. I propose waiting to Cataclysm, to see if any of the guild advancement features need gold to fund them. If they do, then we’ll have a handy nest egg to get started from. If they don’t, then we can buy a couple more bank tabs, and use the bank purely for items.

Any ideas, comments or other discussion, please contribute at the thread on the forum.

Any comments on the design, or problems encountered, please let me know in the comments.

No changes at the top of the table, but some movement in the mid ranks.

The achievements were taken on Sunday afternoon and there’s some interesting latest entries there. Quite a few from the newly release Icecrown instances and from the recent Pilgrim festival. A few people are clearing out ‘classic’ instances, while others seem to have spotted a festival I missed and got a Children’s week prize.

A final honourable mention goes to Besti for two reasons – firstly he’s the only non-level 80 in the list, beating quite a few of his top level rivals – and secondly as it looks like he snagged a trip to Blizzcon 2009, or at the very least managed to beg, borrow, buy or steal ‘Grunty’ the Murloc pet from someone who did!

The results are below – I’ve also included the latest achievement to see what we’re all working on – hover over the latest achievement to see the details.

There’s lots of brewfest, as expected, but a fair mix of other things too, across PVP. instances, exploring, questing, collecting etc – including some pretty cool achievements. Also no-one in the list has the same latest achievement, which works out a lot more interesting than if we had 20 Brewmasters

I might revisit this list in a few months to see how the standings have changed…
