DenMom's Children Guild discussion.

[Quinner Sparrowhawk]

My replies may become sporadic - My school system finally added this BB to their blocking list

1) I will step aside if Lilosh is seriously interested in being the Guild Leader. I would like to be an officer.

2) None of us who have not ever started on a fresh server can tell whether we will like it better or not. Even old timers who have been there, done that, might find the new server to be more to their liking. Some will stay and some will leave after a week. That doesn't matter. What does is that everyone remembers that it is just a game and we all play to have fun.

3) The purpose of this guild on a new server is for many us who trade words back and forth here and on the channel to be a part of something all together. There may be some members who never get out of their low teens and only visit on off days. There will be some that do nothing but work on GMing in a particular skill. It's all good because we will be family.

4) This whole thing could fall apart by the end of the summer but as someone once said there would never be a need for more than 5 or so computers in the world. We are creating........which is the one thing that drives us to do what we do

5) Think before posting about disinterest or pooh-poohing our dream here. It's not really adding anything to the discussion. Pointing out pitfalls is a great idea to help us from repeating the mistakes of others.

6) I was planning on making a Dwarf Cleric for the purposes of grouping but if I need a character of a particular skill of which to be a Guild Elder then I will make a Shaman and take on Alchemy.

If this is the general consensus, then count me interested. I have NO idea what I'm interested in playing though.

[EnfinitiStarr8]

Sanna, can you please take over the list for me? I have 3 HUGE group projects do to graduate on time. I really don't feel like failing my last trimester of college to try and keep everything here going. I'll stop back in later when I have more time. Have a good one all.

[Delfontes]

Quinner/Lilosh/Enfiniti....

Someone do the legwork to apply for the guild, I was told you can start it on your local server and just transfer it over to be there day one.

Since I don't know that first hand, don't quote me... just don't want to have a weeks worth of waiting once the server opens, that first week is vital to have good communication in other than a chat channel over there.

[Sanna]

Okies. just cut what's up there out of your post to keep from confuzzing people.

And then, rather than try to keep up a confuzzing text list of possible members (though I will do so of L and O candidates)... click this link.
at least it BETTER be a link.


http://www.sannask.com/misc/eq/new_server.html plz show up stupid thumbnail.......</a>

Well, the link works to the page, even if the thumbnail wont' show up. That is supposed to be a small version of a chart i made up the other day of what race can be what class... just because i wanted to know. the link takes you to a page of Who has volunteered to be what, where the volunteering is rather specific. More will be updated later.

To start a guild, I would need 20 people, unguilded, on Povar, to start the guild.

[Delfontes]

Nice, hehe

Looks like a broken link, but it worked fine when I clicked on it.

Two gnome chanters?

Competition, I like it . Ok I don't, hehe.

Gonna be a blast, with the vote already going to name the server it seems they are going forward fast.

I am thinking it could be within a couple weeks, so this has to be coordinated well .

Thanks for all the hard work done so far, and over the next few weeks getting started.

P.S. Lilosh posted while I was typing, doh. Is there a way to set it up with 20 people from other servers with the intention of starting the guild on day one of the new server?

[Sanna]

if not from another server, i can make some punk on povar and cast my vote, then delete the char?

stuff for link fixed. I realized I'M not in those charts, but i'll have to edit that in later.

We get to vote on names either 'now' or 'very soon' (the link on the EQ site takes you to the DevCorner page about the new server, i can't make it take me to a voting page or anything'). I leave the fudging country on june 10, i be sooooo mad if verant does this to me........

[Quinner Sparrowhawk]

If Lilosh wants us to come to him, that's fine. Otherwise I would suggest setting up the guild on a server that nobody (or very few of us) currently inhabit to avoid any existing guild/char conflicts.

As far as characters go, I can play anything. I like them all, even Troll Shadowknights.

I like the Council of Twelve idea better than the Grey Council (Only 9). It can be trade or race based. I know that we are setting out to be a tradeskilling guild but we don't have to lock ourselves into that mode for our elders. (BTW - Some of us have a great deal of knowledge of different tradeskills that is not reflected in our skill levels due to class level restrictions,money restrictions, etc.) Either way, 12 is a good number for officers but we do want to be sure that each officer has specific responsibilities beyond the tradeskills.

[Vascha]

I'll most likely be making this new server my regular haunt, so no matter how often you play I'll probably have an alt in your range level )

[Sanna]

'Grey Council' (only 9) was only brought up as a reference point, not an actual suggestion. ^_^

Elders does not equal officers; all Elders would BE officers, but not all officers would be Elders.

And pardon my end-of-semester stupidity.... how are we getting the number 12 again?
1. Bake
2. Brew
3. Blacksmith
4. JC
5. Pottery
6. Tailoring
7. Fletching
8. Fishing
9. Research-Chanter
10. Research-Mage
11. Research-Necro
12. Research-Wizzy

That might be it. Plus one for the Leader, oc.

Hm. Depending on how things pan out (IE, will i even BE HERE?? /sniff, /cry) I could be Elder Baker, I have decent knowledge there. But if someone else had their heart set on it, sure, let em have it. ^_^

[Galathnor]

Just let me know when to be where, and I will be there. I can if needed log onto 3 accounts at the same time if that would help.

The following is cut and pasted from the EQLive site:

Guild Creation

If you decide that none of the existing guilds are quite what you are looking for, you may create your own guild. In order to establish your guild, you must have an acceptable name, charter, and a membership of 10 players who wish to form this guild.

The following process needs to be followed to gain approval for your guild:

The person who is to be the leader of the guild must enter the chat server and issue the #makeguild command. This will create a private guild channel. The name of the guild should be used as the name of the channel, although this name can be edited later during the creation process.


After the channel has been created, the guild leader needs to invite the members of his guild into the channel. To do this, he needs to tell the guild members the name of the channel and the password for access.


Once 10 or more members are in the channel, they need to issue the #approveguild command. The guild leader can then issue the #makeguild command. This will move the guild leader to the guild creation screen.


In the guild creation screen, the guild leader needs to enter a summary of the guild's charter. This summary should focus on the guild's role in Norrath and the goals it will pursue. Details of the internal working of your guild need not be included. You may also edit your guild's name in this screen. Once completed, hit FINISH and the guild will be submitted for approval. It's important that you double-check the spelling of the guild name because it could be approved with submitted spelling and then could be very hard to change.


The leader of the guild may check the status of the guild by activating the GUILDS button from chat. If the status of the guild indicates a need for revision, the guild leader should select his guild and hit the EDIT button. Comments regarding the nature of the needed revision appear at the bottom of the guild creation screen.The guild leader can edit the charter and the guild name as needed and hit the FINISH button to resubmit the guild for approval. IMPORTANT: If the leader is only viewing the revisions needed, hit CANCEL to exit this screen. If the leader hits FINISH, the guild will be resubmitted for approval and the leader will be unable to re-enter the guild creation/edit screen. IMPORTANT: If your guild is listed as Initial Approval, it is not fully approved yet. Please do not petition on server to have your guild created at this point.


If the name and charter are approved, the guild leader will be notified via email that the guild is ready to be created. IMPORTANT: Please verify that your email is correct in our registration information by: A) Going to "Account" B) Then going to "Change Account" C) Then going to "Edit Registration" from the login screen. NOTE: It is important that you have the correct email address listed, or you will not get your approval letter promptly.


After the guild leader has received notification via email that the guild has been approved, it is his/her responsibility to petition and meet a GM to complete the guild creation process. Only the Creator needs to be present for creation.
For fastest service, try to petition between 2PM and 10PM PST. If this is not possible, you may either petition and allow a Guide to assist you further or locate and request the assistance of the Chat GM.

All copyrite etc is the property of SOE.

Just thought this might be info we would need.

[Delfontes]

Great, by that description we just need to all meet in the chat room.

Then make a channel called Denmom's Children, and we all join it.

Once we get the approval e-mail Quinner just needs to petition when we first log onto that server.

Viola, day 1.

Oh, and Sanna, I hope you're gonna add Tinkering for me

And Alchemy/Poison making for shamen/rogues...

Those class specific research ones are not gonna be happening like that.

I volunteer for the "Tinkering Elder" position as it were.

1. Bake
2. Brew
3. Blacksmith
4. JC
5. Pottery
6. Tailoring
7. Fletching
8. Fishing
9. Research-Chanter
10. Research-Mage
11. Research-Necro
12. Research-Wizzy

That might be it. Plus one for the Leader, oc.

Close Sanna, I was going for;

1. Baking
2. Brewing
3. Blacksmith (Person whold know basics of all Cultural Armor)
4. JC
5. Pottery
6. Tailoring (See Smithing)
7. Fletching (Should know Wood Elf Cultural)
8. Fishing
9. Spell Research - ALL INT casters
10.Tinkering - Gnomes
11. Alchemy - Sham
12. Posion making - Rouges

13. The Leader - Tie breaker, someone for the other 12 to look to. The "Figure Head Leader."

If I am not the leader then I would like to be the Fletching Elder. Being a Wood Elf Druid I have Cultural Fletching open to me and my real Main is a Ranger so I already know a great deal about it.

[Zeralenn]

At this point I am undecided as to whether I would be an enchanter or a druid. Still trying to decide. If I can get the name, she will still be Saralynn or some variation thereof.

I'd be interested in Blacksmithing Elder,at least for the beginning -- I see my name has already been proposed...
