Guild Tag

How can I go about getting one for today's stress test? I saw a family member sporting the tag during the one hour test and was jealous, lol. I realize we will be showing our guild support via our tags at launch, but I'd also love to do so during today's stress test and any others that may follow.

If it's possible for someone to do so today, I'll be logging in as soon as the server is up!

I recommend pinging them in game.

We may have hit our player max of 200 the beta guild was set to in doing a quick test of increasing past 100. We also did not hit the 200 cap until last Friday's beta test some time in the middle of that four hours. The first time we could play with increasing guild size was BWE3 in July, if my haphazard memory serves me right. For live it will take coordination to do the guild level increases and it will take having the leader, Fog, on. I don't think anyone other than the leader can do a guild size change. I know to go from 100 to 200 it took some money we pooled (forget how much) and the need for 20 members to be online and representing the guild. The amount of money and number of members online to push the guild size up increases with each step of the process. So when we go to live and Fog says he needs people on to do this and you can be on, please be there representing or be square! Hehe. Just my plug to anyone reading this to help us build up guild size as best we can. Based on number of players for beta and stress tests, we'll want at least 300 as fast as we can do it, since that is just over 200 now and I know some people who pre-purchased but might not make it on for the final hoorah of stress tests.

Wish I could do these stress tests... But I work 7-3:30 pst (or is it pdt right now?) And my lunch break ends at 12 and I get home about 3:45. and since its payday, that won't be til after 4. As for stuff with the guild, I plan on doing a lot of crafting and selling during the 3 day head start. My money will be fogs money as far as I'm concerned

During previous beta/stress, the most effective way to get g-invited was to be on ventrilo.

We've definitely hit the cap on the guild in the stresss test. I believe to unlock the next level we need 80 members online at once, plus a bunch of gold. My guess is that it won't have the people + gold to raise the cap for the stress tests.

Anyone should be able to increase the cap. Anyone with invite privlages can. However my problem was getting enough people online to do so.

Fog the other problem is money. We tried this last stress test and didn't have enough people. BUT even if we did we didn't have more than 5s or 10s tops on most toons. I think we've been blowing our wad pretty recklessly on WvW blueprints and repairs.

I think that will be the hard part come launch. Deciding between putting money to guild increases or WvW when we don't have much to start with

Actually I'm less worried about money on launch.. we can just sell gems for in game coin. That's not an option in the stress test.

Sounds like it will just be easier for me to wait until launch. I will happily give the silver I make to Fog to help increase the cap. I've got that whole week off and will be playing a lot so hopefully I can get added at some point :) I'm patient and I understand that the Elders and long-time family members should be added first and have no problem waiting my turn. In the meantime, once we launch, I will still send what silver I make to Fog to help speed the process up. It won't be long now!! Myk

It's a brand new guild at launch Myk. As today in vent anyway or send a tell to me (Shmi). I'm thinking I'll just kick folks who haven't turned up for the past few stress tests to make some room. NOTE: anyone who turns out to be kicked, please don't freak out! :) it's a temporary work-around and doesn't mean anything. Just ask and we'll hook you up!

Will do Lakshmi! I'm not a big fan of talking on Vent but I did install it and was figuring out how it worked just before I lost power because of a t-storm. That's about a week ago and I haven't tried it since. I'll see what I can do between now and launch. If not, I'll contact you in-game. Myk

Feel free to kick me Lakshmi, as I havn't made any stress tests yet, and with my work schedule ATM am unlikely to make any future ones. I'm in vent often enough when I'm on that getting an invite back in (or just keeping up with people without membership if there's no room later) should be fairly easy.

Me and my brother Eldon Donely will be able to pile up some cash pretty quick. We're both head starts, I'm partially unemployed and he's on seperation leave from the military, so neither of us are currently working. We'll be playing a LOT early and plan to PVE through level 30 before jumping into WvW. Let us know, we'll both have spare change for the guild.

I will be donating all I can to the guild funds - and will be on at the first moment headstart commences. I don't craft but I love to gather - so I will be doing a lot of gathering - and if any crafters want materials I will gladly give them my materials if they promise to tithe a portion of their sales to the guild or I'll sell the materials and donate it all. I can make do with what I find unitl the guild gets up and running the way it is suppose to be. Hopefully my vent is working... finally broke down and got a new headphone set.

Morigana, I will be Jewel Crafting, probably the moment the game goes live. As a result, feel free to send any copper and silver ore, as well as gems to Drigr. I will be donating jewels to the guild as well as selling.

Heads up - we will have a marketplace for GW2 like we do for Rift. It will be set up that if a recipe that you find through discovery in the game can be entered for discovery points if it is not already available in the marketplace. Info on how it works and all the coolness soon to come. Vent - even if you don't talk, it is good to be on it to listen when grouping with the family, especially WvW stuff. And we have to claim our characters for GW2 by entering it manually here on the website. I know Fog is still working on getting all the old links fixed to the new setup, but told us how to try it out now when we were in the stress test. Better details for this will be forth coming by the 25th head start as well. So all these cool things are in the works (vent channels already set up because of betas) to help the family out in GW2. Gaiscioch comes with Awesome Sauce, ya know. ;)

I have never seen that before. Is that new with the last stress test?

I can't wait to get into game and get a guild tag and get out there in the virtual world of Tyria. I expect much epic fun to be had!
