Guild Update
Recently, we’ve seen some great improvements in SWTOR, including the release of Galactic Strongholds and now with the next expansion, Revan Has Returned, coming out in just a few months. Its time to change some things up in Knight and Lords of Stonewall and revitalize the guild.
Recruitment | First and foremost, we need to get more people into the guild. New member registrations has been slow for sometime, but there’s a ton of room for us to grow. TOR does have a large user base and we’re currently the only active glbta guild. We need members to start recruiting for Knights and Lords of Stonewall. To begin with, we can start by shouting out a recruitment speech in General chat as we play. To help with this, we’ve given Members the ability to invite into both guilds. Now, when you find an interested player, you don’t need to wait for an Officer to come online to invite them.
Here are a couple sample shouts:
There’s a few important parts of this. First of all, we bill ourselves as a GLBTA guild, not a gay-friendly guild. We’re not gay friendly, we are gay. If you’ve ever been in a gay-friendly guild, you know the difference. Our community is ran by the glbta community for the glbta community with their values at its core. Secondly, we direct them back to our website and hopefully they register. This way they show that true interest in joining a community. They’re willing to put their name, or username as it be, down as a member and that kind of commitment speaks to what kind of member they will be.
Raiding | Next, we need to give our future members and current members something to do. While it’s nice to have the Stonewall name over your head, it doesn’t mean much when you don’t feel part of the group. We need to build that by teaming together. SWTOR has some great raids in it with some awesome story lines. We can tackles these challenges as a community. I’d like to set up a weekly raiding night to get us started. Please respond below with what day of the week is best for you. It’d be awesome if someone was willing to take charge of this. As well, this will help us reach our next goal.
Guild Strongholds | As mentioned above, Strongholds were recently added to the game. They provide a fascinating new aspect of game play, plus allow guilds to build their own home among the stars and customize it as they like. At 50 Million Credits per guild, the entrance price is steep, but thanks to Jacien’s efforts we’re almost to our first unlock. He’s managed to raise 35 Million Credits through some Master of Whispers esque maneuvers, but that still leaves us 65 Million left to raise, plus an additional 75 Million each and some seriously epic crafting materials to unlock additional rooms. If someone was interested in helping set the guild on the right track for how to raise Credits quickly or how to get the mats we need, that'd be greatly appreciated!
Knights and Lords of Stonewall can be amazing, but everyone needs to pitch in. While our community is large, our involvement is low. We need those that are here to participate, lend a helping hand and take some initiative to grow our guild. We’ve got our work cut out for us, but if any community can do it, its us!
