Hey everyone!! I was talken to your friendly Dwarf Jolly the other day and he was telling me that we needed some ideas for the guild to do stuff together. I ran a guild on Drinal for a while and have a few ideas that worked well for us.

1) Have buffing sessions in the lower level zones (i.e. EC, NRO, Oasis...around that level) where the guild gets together and helps buff lower levels at no cost. We would do this for about an hour at a time and always had a blast. We never gave out the spencive buffs only those with little or no cost involved. The tanks that could not help buff would run around and save the little people from the big bads (griffens, giants, spectors...etc) so they could participate too. It's a great way to build server respect for the guild, get the guild name out there, and generate interest to join the guild.

2) PLing...I agree...this is a VERY touchy subject. The reason it's so touchy is because people get butt hurt when you don't help them because it becomes expected of you. TRUST ME when I say this. You will get tells from people while you're in the middle of a raid, quest, or just have a damn good party going, from lower levels who expect you to drop everything to come help them. For this reason we always posted that PLing was done at the discression of the person doing it and they always had the right to say no.

3) We toyed with the idea of having an "On Call" person to gate others around. This would be done, once again, on an hourly basis so as not to take up to much time playing time from the person doing the gates. The idea was that someone who was capable of gating all around would receive tells from a member requesting (not demanding) a gate from one zone to the next, during this hour it was the "on call" persons job to gate them. Since only casters can gate a tank would also be assinged as protection in case of zoning into a MOB that would agro.

5) Another idea we tossed around but never implimented was someone who could be a mentor for each of the classes. Let's use Jolly as an example (he's an easy target :P). Jolly could be in charge of answering questions regarding Paladins, their quests, spells...etc. Questions would be answered at his discression and in his own sweet time, being a dwarf that could be sometime next summer though. He's not there to PL anybody just answer questions.

I think I've rambled enough for now and hope this helps some. If you have any questions let me know :) See everyone in unreality.
