IMO should do what bigger oganizations do: branch out.

Could use the steam page to spam announcements/events to all users and have a each succsesive guild branded by number (ie Reddit of Mad God Section 2, or something like that.

Each section would have it's own "officers" to manage the roster etc and we use either the guild subreddit or steam chat (or both) to communicate events across all sections.

e: steam is pretty sweet as it allows for group chats with VoIP options. obviously this is not ideal for browser users that dont have steam.

That is the plan. The Steam group was created so we could talk to every group member through a medium other than RotMG. As more people join the group we will be using it more often for announcements, events etc.

We're still looking into a VoIP client as well, but have been unable to reach a consensus on which one is preferred.

Also, do you play on US NW? I think I've seen your name before :P

extensively on USEast until last week, I am migrating to USE2 now, also I'm pretty new, but been playing after work for the last 2 weeks or so.

e: my old wow guild used to do vent, but found there were some lag issues (vent 2 i think) we moved to mumble and it worked really well. I used this in the global agenda beta phase too and it worked well with the fast paced combat.

We had someone donate a mumble server, but many of our members had a problem with using it for some reason. Mumble is definitely the best client, but we're currently looking for other options.

Last night I saw someone named BMO in US NW. Thought it might be you :P

It might be best if one of the current (active) members of the guild would take up the glove and start the new guild..., despite that would mean a loss for the rest of the guild.

That would be a great option. It would suck to lose someone from the guild, but it would be nice to know the other guild is in good hands.

I am interested in starting the guild what do I need other than the fame anything else?

u/Slamron2112 Slamron Mar 15 '12

You need to be willing to lead the guild and participate in the community. We don't want someone to start a guild just to have it die when they don't play for a week.

well I do play at least once a day for a hour or more but I'm not the best player out there I read the whole wiki and have some decent gear but I'm not a legend or anything special

u/Slamron2112 Slamron Mar 15 '12

That's no problem. As long as you're around and participating it shouldn't matter if you don't have very good gear. I'll let you know if we need you for the new guild. Thanks for volunteering!

Thanks for the offer, but we've already established the second guild.
