It's already a very small percentage of our members that frequent the website and a smaller number that actively take part.

It's a pretty safe bet that anybody who see's this thread and takes the time to post or contribute to it is a dedicated member of the guild. In any case it would be hard to make a fair system that actively took into account our members contributions over the years, as much as we'd like to.

I've not discussed this with Elquin so am just speaking of my past experience and he may decide to do things differently but normally when a guild decides to switch servers the guild doesn't fund the move. All those members that want to move pay for it themselves and those that don't look for another guild.

In Guild Wars 2 it's a little easier because you can still be part of the guild and have access to the guild chat and banks etc and if we are run a PvE event you can simply "guest" to our server for the duration of the event free of charge.

The only issue comes with WvW (which is the main point of the argument) in which you'd still have to fight for CD and wouldn't be able to join the official Vanguard events. So if you're not in a position to pay for a transfer but still want to WvW with the guild than a "no" vote is the right one.

These are very important issues and having an open discussion is a good thing.

The Obelisk warp core is a reward from completing the 'Sphere of Influence' mission. So you don't have to pay for it! :)

I've used all sorts of ships for that mission, including the Jem'Hadar dreadnaught. I've equipped either of those sets and it's been fine. Honestly with those, I've not needed the Obelisk warp core to finish the whole mission, in some cases with a minute or two to spare.

Do you have a set path to follow? I've created little maps, I can post them if you like. :)

Okay. I have an Obelisk Carrier (not an Advanced one) but it's not equiped with anything special. How can I get this Subspace Rift Warp Core? Can't find it on Exchange. Lobi crystals?
Can I then equip the Obelisk Carrier with the Warp Core, the Borg set and just change ships whenever I do the Tour the Galaxy?

I've found that either the MACO or Assimilated Borg Set make for the fastest ships for this mission, I do it a lot too.

I also found that using the Obelisk Subspace Rift warp core helps as it reduces your cooldown for QSD to 1 minute. ;)

Important question to leader and all members: "The ones who want to transfer to another server, are they 100 percent representing the guild since day one?" I notice there are players who wants to be in the guild but don't represent the guild at all time which really should not have anything to say or suggest about the transfer. I represent the guild 100 percent everytime I log on and I think players' opinion like myself should be above other who do not represent the guild or contribute to the guild achievement.
If leader decided to move, who will fund the transfer for the guild and members? Keep in mind what server ranking fluctuates and if we did transfer to another server, will move again if we feel the same as of this time again? Tranfers will never stop when we are unhappy?
Kome transfered because of "drama" with another guild. What is our true reason for the transfer? Achievements are all the same for all servers and it has nothing to do with the server ranking. Thank you.

Some thoughts:

So if the guild moves for the few WvW individuals will they fund the transfer for the guild members? A transfer at $20 or more doesn't guarantee that the server transferred to will be any better. And then the whole factor of which server.

I really enjoy WvW when I play it. The only thing that does put me off is how often CD is out numbered. There's nothing worse than being 1 of only 15 people from our server when the others have almost 30 each.

hmmm I accidentally voted NO and can't seem to change my vote to YES. I take no responsibility for my actions at 4AM! At any rate, I'll try to share my thoughts later.

I wanted to vote "no" but I've voted "yes" to counter-act your mistake. Let me know if you found a way to change your vote so that I didn't screw it unfairly. :)

So, I like the Tour the Galaxy mission because I get some EC and can do some assignments from various corners of the galaxy :)
I'd like to fly faster so I aim at the MACO set doing Borg and Omega marks stuff right now. I guess a good Warp Coil will give a boost too.
The three questions I have:
1. Is there anything else I can do to make my ship faster in Secotr Space?
2. Is there a way to reduce the cooldown time for QSD? I think it's two minutes for me right now;
3. There is this ability "Grant Diplomatic Immunity" but I realised I will be able to GRANT immunity, I won't HAVE it. How can I ask someone to grant it to me and how does it work? Let's say, I'm in Sector Space and... what then?

I hope there wasn't any thread like that and the possible answers will be of use for other players :)

I don't World vs World any where near as much as I should (because I love it but often don't want to commit to the time sink) so It's probably a little unfair for me to make the argument one way or another when some of our membership spend most of the time in The Mists however I did vote no.

I think one of the problems with the unbalanced nature of World vs World was the free-movement which we used to enjoy in the early days. Everyone jumped ships to the most popular and successful servers leaving some servers ghosts towns.

We are a mid-table server and being there can be very disheartening because we'll probably never be able to challenge the top boys but if we do move we are contributing to the eventual demise of our first home.

That said I can't ignore the benefits to the "fun" factor moving would have on our membership and totally understand peoples desire to do so.

I will move if the guild decides it so.

A quick note on the cost of transfer. Transfer once every seven days at a cost determined by the destination server.

Q4: Can my guild fight other guilds in Space PvP with our Guild Flagship?

No, this Digital Expansion does not include a PvP combat experience for Guild Flagships. More information about Guild Flagships will be revealed in the coming months.

The way I read the FAQ, this expansion will be purely cosmetic. That said, I'd guess space PvP would evolve in a future expansion to include guild flagships.

That question was raised in the FAQ but no definitive answer was given. The usual way they handle such questions....heaven forbid they should give away any information before they want to make a big splash announcement about it. ;)

SO trying to fine tune my Torp-Boat, I prefer the photon torpedo, so at this point just trying to figure out which sets to combine parts of to optimize my torpedo damage.

I'm getting Mail and whispers about transferring servers. I personally only think that server transfers benefit those who are playing GW2 for the WvW. That's the only part of the game that you are restricted from when it comes to server so I would understand the unhappiness with CD when it comes to the current state of WvW. I am not the only voice of Stonewall and we listen to all our members so I am creating this post for everyone to share their thoughts and the server of their choice if they want to transfer. I am also including a poll to see where we stand.

Excellent write up Eurrsk! I've always thought Star Trek tried to highlight the best of what we are as a race and look toward a bright future. Of course being a tech geek, how could one not love the idea of a real holodeck some day! :)

Thanks! Indeed! one of the very reasons why I love it so much! :D If they made a holodeck one day, I would probably never leave it lol! ^^;
