I know it doesn't solve the immediate question but I can say honestly the best way to get more people into the guild is to actually be socialable outside of the guild. You guys are all really cool people to hang with (I hope you all realize this). So by questing and grouping up with others you will actually get them interested in our guild.

Then when they ask you just refer them to the website to get registered and we'll get them all setup. Word of mouth in an MMO is the best advertising! This also helps people to get more people in the guild during a time that they play.

yea I haven't played much on the weekend, just noticed the last couple of nights. Probably just me :-)

When I've been on I haven't noticed it being quiet. I haven't been on the last 2 nights as I have been leveling my bounty hunter. It could be a combination of quite of few things. The holiday breaks being over, people getting to a level they had a goal and rolled an alt on the imp side to try it. It could also be like you said with the end of the 30 days and people quitting.

Unfortunately there isn't a way in guild info to see like last played time so I really couldn't give you a trend pattern as I might otherwise be able to figure out. I know on the weekends it is busy though it could be possible peoples schedules just changed.

Hey folks. I'm not sure if it is just coincidence of the guild split or the 30 days is up for the free month, but Ive noticed that it has become very quiet when I log in between 9-10 PST. I also noticed the online on the Jedi guild is about 12-15 the last few nights, so if I assume that about 12-15 is in the sister guild at the same time, its about 15-20 members less on average then just a couple of weeks ago.

When I log in and say hi the last two nights, there's been no response and I barely see any chat at all in the main channel. Just a week ago the guild chat was so lively. I realize the split by class was over-dramatized by some (I never voted here, would have voted against it, but its not that important to me) and the joint channel should allow for the same level of chat as before, but is any one else noticing it or is it just me? Maybe its just the typical lull post launch perhaps.

Love it! I bow to your determination and code of justice, Sir Justjon. :)

In all the MMO's I've played I've yet to encounter a PvP setup that operates the way the devs envisioned it. PvP zones tend to bring out the absolute worst of gamer trolls out there.

Thanks again for taking care of 'masterowen' JJ. Hopefully he'll think twice the next time he pulls that stunt.

I've never personally understood why PvE servers had a toggle PvP option or for that matter why PvP ones do as well. The option itself is what kills it. I played on PvP servers for years and typically world pvp is just camping and petty fighting (and rarely is it fair).

The reason people do it on PvE servers is because people let them they get upset and frustrated rather than the PvP mindset of getting even lol. If people grab a friend or 2 and decide to retaliate people will think of doing it less and less because it doesn't become fun for them.

Way to go Justjon! I applaud you for defending guildies! Well done! And an excellent screenshot of the deed to boot!

With pvp and heroics being server wide and stopping there we will end up with a reputation as a guild. I figured it would be good to have the reputation of we defend each other. Then people think twice when they see our tags lol.

nice!! I applaud you good sir!

So today Tobin had a Jedi who did the lovely stand in your aoe and flag you for pvp then kill you. So I decided since I love PvP I'd go take a stand for our guildy. So I jumped in my ship with just a name in hand and traveled to the last known Co-Ordinates. I then used a bit of my hunter skills to finally find my target.



I did eventually find my tagged target and thought it was so fun I captured the moment. One Jedi down and a few to go in the name of safety.

The sad thing is that the whole "selling the brand" thing works more often than people like to admit. I mean it runs the gamut from the bread & peanut butter you buy to the electronics that fill your home. We all know the Mac fanboys, but think about the last time you went to the store and got peanut butter... Why did you buy the brand you bought, not because there is a major difference in the peanut butter (unless you buy organic stuff) you probably bought it because that's what you always get. You buy the brand.

In the last few days, this video has gone viral and the project with it.

3,214 Backers have pledged $132,821 of a $50,000 goal with 49 days to go. Pretty awesome really. I suppose that means the documentary will be made.

While I admire this project and am eager to watch the result, I find his scope to be a bit broad. It's hard to cover every part of the gay rights struggle in one documentary, unless it's 5 hours long.

For those of you who are interested, there are already quite a few good queer history documentaries out there. Two of my favorites are Before Stonewall and After Stonewall. The two films split queer history by one of the biggest defining moments in our history and do a great job of covering a lot of information. Another favorite of mine is Paragraph 175 which is about the struggle of homosexuals in Nazi Germany, which includes first hand interviews with those detained and branding with the pink triangle.

I had a phase where I watched old commercials from time to time. There's definitely been a transition in advertising.

In the 50s and 60s, commercials were still largely about informaing people about products and services. Then thru the 70s and 80s, it changed to giving people warm fuzzies about products.

Today, companies are all about their "brand". Forget about the details of the products, you should buy it because you like the company that makes it.

The crew find aliens mentally connected to a computer that has created a being that feeds on their fear.

Enjoy!

Good stuff! :woohoo:

I'm just hoping they reveal more of what the Legacy System really entails in the coming weeks, for now it's just very vague statements about unlocking skills and making your characters a family, etc... I guess we'll see. (I'm not knocking the game or anything)

I'm really excited about the UI options that we'll have, can't wait to move the chat window to the usual "classic" MMO bottom left corner style.

That it does Van. I was thinking of using that instance to grind out light points one day so I can finally get to level five. 1000 points away.

I really like what the legacy system looks to offer. I am also REALLY REALLY excited about the UI! I can't wait to make mine smaller! lol

Xal we should be able to knock the instance out pretty quickly. Lets try for Friday nite before the planned instance runs. We should need like 35 min to get to the end. (space bar thru dialog helps)

It does look pretty damn wicked.
