World of Warcraft®

Ah inquiring question time:
Is this closed or always open?
Can alliance on other servers do this?
If yes: Can a current toon who fits the criteria start this?
I happen to be an abandoned WRA Ironman toon D: But now that my mommy toon Vyn is xfering here, I feel I might get some play time and this would be a good reason to do so. I'm sure my old journal of my adventures during the gilnean exodus is around here somewhere.
However I still might roll a new toon (shiver) if the answers are no. I was just curious.

Right now this is Horde based, and on Cenarion Circle. The original concept is found on the first page of the first thread. There is no reward outside of your own satisfaction.

The guild was set up to provide support either with a running partner or if you wished to have a second character just to do some monetary or crafting support. Now we are simply an rp guild that has way to much fun with rp than we do the challenge. In fact I don't think anyone is currently in the challenge at all.

Here is original thread.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4363778667?page=1

Feel free to roll a Horde toon if you want to join us. As far as I know there is no Alliance counterpart. I think we tried it but could not get very much interest in it here on CC.

It's about this. We've attempted (slightly) in the past, and it kind of flopped.

We'd love to have you around, for the challenge or otherwise. (and there's always the option of transferring a character over)

Alrighties I'll just roll an adorable hordie. Druid of course, if it wasn't obvious I have a love for them =3 (I'm pretty sure 50% of my toons are durid.)

I know it is summer, but things seem so quiet!! I encourage all to write something for the Journal. We can't let Cyaer have all the fun! Surely there is something you want to tell us about your character. A reason why you choose to join us. Something that happened to you as you traveled Azeroth. We all love to read the stories!

But I like seeing my name up here as much as possible.
"Cuz I are a gud writer"...in my own mind

We all love to read the stories!

This is what attracted me to the Fellowship in the first place. It was learning about the other people already in that Fellowship, and wanting to be a part of that.

Meeting those people I read about, it was like a fan meeting a celebrity for the first time. I was all "You're...you did...I loved it when..." And they would go, "Who are you? And how do you know these things about me?" "Um, a lucky guess? <blush>"

Besides, I would like to think my writing has gotten better than when I first started, but then again, that's just my concept of it. You all probably think, "Oh, great, another twit trying to write, and ruining our journal pages."

(Joking, I'm merely joking - please no flames, I'm wearing cloth and they burn off too quickly.)

But but Cyyyy. *pout*

Yeah. In so far as my inactivity, I've been working my !@# off to finish gearing a monk for my new raid guild. Our bad times have swapped to Tues-Thurs, so once I finish fixing my stuff, I'll be able to play more in game. Until then, sorry about my absence.

Not to say I've stopped RPing. There's an update in my post about the status of House Firehawk and how things are going in Silvermoon City.

That was a nice read, Bane. And its good to know things are still happening. But again, it is all behind the scenes and between you and one other person, with multiple characters.

Not trying to be nitpicky here, but this guild is becoming a ghost town with hardly anyone logging on at all. If you are going to run it as an rp guild we need more than Google docs and scenes of just stuff we read and do not participate in.

And that is fine you are gearing up even more characters on another realm to raid. I don't know about the rest of them, but I feel deserted and left behind. I do not expect rp 24/7, but at least a little bit of your time spent here on CC and in character would be nice.

Rant over. I am going to be working on my other guild. If and when we have rpers on CC and in RSF who want to rp I am always willing to set something up. But I am not going to be begging for it or whining. I spend my time in game having fun. Not waiting on people.

Sounds very nitpicky. Perhaps you could create some RP? Or attempt to work within what others have to deal with? We all have real life going on and other priorities as well. We can't just at the drop of a hat RP with you, or anyone for that matter this isn't just a message to Jahana.

Again we are primarily raiders. Our primary interest is raiding. She had to main switch to raid and thus it required a significant amount of our time to prep her for heroics. Its just a fact of life that we all have to live with. After this week we will be more active but for now getting her the loot she needs is the top priority, for us anyway. That doesn't stop others from doing RP and such.

I would be delighted to create rp anytime! When anyone is on the channel I ask and encourage, but not many are even logging in.

Sorry, been a bit MIA lately, busy with RL. Too much going on. Also usually when I log in I'm the only one on. But like I said things will calm down for me soon and hopefully I can get on during times where there are more people around.

Let's not complain about those of us who are trying to keep things going forward, even if we can't sit on CC all day, when your attention is also split. If you're not working on a person or RSF related plot, recruitment, hype, but have criticism to throw out, you haven't much room to speak about others, especially on a temporary thing.

I'm sorry if anyone feels abandoned. If anyone needs me, multiple people from RSF have my RID. I can't dedicate 100% of my time to the RP, I would hope that those who are in the guild would dedicate some time to helping and promoting the guild. Real life is real life. A game is a game. As I've said, my raid gearing on my monk (yes, just my monk, not toons. Toon. One. Toon.), and once I'm done, I will have much more time to dedicate to the RSF. Until then, we've been brainstorming how to change up the guild RP. We're actually working on one right now, but can't reveal anything just yet.

Guild meetings have been set up. I am looking to set up a second time for guild meetings so that we have two a week. One at night during the weekdays and keep the afternoon on the weekend so that everyone has a chance to get some RP.

Keep pushing for the RSF's benefit, keep pulling things together, we appreciate those who try to keep things going. But please, all I ask for is the benefit of the doubt over here. It only takes two or three weeks before my gear will be caught up as long as I work for it, then I'll just have Tues-Thurs evenings when I'm booked. Just like before.

Shadow's already gone from 477 ilvl to 506. All this while still trying to work on my novel. If anyone else wants my RID, drop me a mail in game on Bane, I'll be checking in.

Interesting as the Fellowship really wasn't raid ready or raid intense in the first place. It was a RPing guild, with a nice twist with the challenge, journal entries, and friendly OOC. Now that all seems to be a thing of the past. Sad in a way.

The thing here I saw was that some us cannot seem to find what we had in the RPing play within this Fellowship. Even when we try at various times of the day or evening. And so must move on to other things because there is a lack of it here. . So we wind up splitting our attention unintentionally for RSF's benefit. You fault, my fault, it's still happening.

Again, I guess I'll forego any RP aspirations here with RSF, and go somewhere else where I can RP and not have to wait for months on end. Sad, very sad, I loved this Fellowship. It seems to be a whole different creature now.

To be honest? It's the same as it always has been. Now I will thank you to take up any complaints you have with myself or Ratheron in person. If you wish to -contribute- to the guild, please, say something. If you wish to start up something new and interesting, please. Say something. If you wish t complain about the lack of RP, which we cannot provide, there is nothing I can do about that. If you wish to complain about me posting stories that none of your characters would have been involved in in the first place, I cannot help it. If you wish to continue to drown this thread in negativity, I will be deeply disappointed in you.

Every point I've made, I feel is valid. The Fellowship is that. A Fellowship. If you have to wait for us to make each step of the RP happen, that... is not RP. That is not a community. I've already promised we have something new in the works, and yet this is the kind of response I get? I think we all ought to step back here and consider what we are doing for the RSF as individuals, not pointing fingers. Cause, I sure know I would like to see Cyaer RP more. I would like to see people not having every single RP be one on one based. The OOC hasn't changed much, people having lives hasn't changed much, but people's attitudes do need to be changed.

Running off from the RP guild instead of promoting RP is a terrible reaction to helping the guild. It is counter productive. Complaining here is counter productive, and I'm frankly a bit tired of hearing about it when I've already brought up these things up with certain people in game once before.

If you would like a solution, how about recruiting new members for RSF? How about RPing initiations, your characters don't have to wait on Kel's return, you don't have to wait for me or Ratheron to be online to RP. It will build the community (which, if you hadn't noticed by now, is smaller on CC H side), and it will promote what we stand for and what we enjoy.

How about coming up with a small plot to involve other members? Have an idea, post it here, keep the ideas flowing, don't sit and wait for someone else to take initiative. And don't make it a 1 on 1 RP.

Why have Ashok and I been doing those so much? Because a lot of the stuff right now is tying up loose ends that no one else cares about except for how the status of such things reflects on the guild. If someone wants to help rebuild the same House that was used to try to wipe out the RSF, that would be interesting, they could come forward, we can RP with you on that note. But if you say nothing, we can assume that it is as I've said, and no one is interested in making good friends with House Firehawk right now.

I would really appreciate it if people could read what was posted and say "So House Firehawk is rebuilding under Tyrael and Eve. I could have a character approach them. Demand answers. I could try to establish new House ties or announce intentions to burn old ones (for those of us who have Houses here, which there are a small handful). So Zari is hunting for magic talent. I have a magic person, could they be scouted?"... Instead of complaints about the fact that that RP happened.

I really would... *sighs*

I would love to take it up with you in game, but since you are too busy elsewhere its a bit hard to do. Yes I want to ask the Firehawks what is going on! Where are they?

Silvermoon City. I'm on Remote right now. After I finish today's round of gearing early (since this seems to be a problem), I'll be online all day until raid tonight. As will Ratheron. Expect things to be ironed out.

Disclaimer: I'm probably being an !@# right now. I'm tired and in pain, so don't take anything I say personally.

I would be delighted to create rp anytime! When anyone is on the channel I ask and encourage, but not many are even logging in.

It's summer. People are getting out of school, going on vacation, what have you.

It's a game, that means that almost no one is going to be on 24-7. If there's a lack of RP, then you do something else to stir up people. Most of us (I think) aren't only RPers. I know I'm working on gearing a toon for casual raiding at the moment, and I know Ang and Tyr are primarily raiders.

Interesting as the Fellowship really wasn't raid ready or raid intense in the first place. It was a RPing guild, with a nice twist with the challenge, journal entries, and friendly OOC. Now that all seems to be a thing of the past. Sad in a way.

We never have been raiders, here. People raid on other servers/characters, though. And then some people have other commitments in game.

Again, I guess I'll forego any RP aspirations here with RSF, and go somewhere else where I can RP and not have to wait for months on end. Sad, very sad, I loved this Fellowship. It seems to be a whole different creature now.

That's a bit extreme. Months haven't passed where you've been waiting for RP. It's not as if there's any one person causing all this. IT's the nature of people/the game that causes shifts in the numbers online, too.

To be honest? It's the same as it always has been.

No. It isn't, not really. But I don't think anyone reasonably expects it to be the same as it was when the guild got started. That would be some sort of miracle. The guild's gone in different directions, the leadership has changed, and that suits some people, and not others, and there's nothing we can do about that either.

your characters don't have to wait on Kel's return

No. They don't. And quite honestly? I didn't plan to have her out of action for this long. But RL has caught up to me. I don't want to go into it, it's fresh and painful and it hurts, suffice to say I may be gone for a very very long time in the next couple months, we'll see. Otherwise, Kel is back today.

And now my two cents on the issue.

As if anyone cares about that.

The lack of RP isn't something one person can fix. We can't sit here and twiddle our thumbs and wait to be approached. I know I've been in and out, I've been doing something cross-faction on an alt, and gearing my death knight for casual raiding.

I'm burning out on things I love to do right now, so you'll all forgive me if I can't be in game every waking moment. I am, at the moment, very close to quitting the game for a number of reasons, and trying to spark my interest in RP again. Unfortunately for me, that hasn't been going very well, but that's another story.

As far as wanting RP? Whenever I've been on, and free to RP, recently, people have been busy doing things with other guilds.

Again, don't take anything I've said personally. It's not meant that way.

I would love to take it up with you in game, but since you are too busy elsewhere its a bit hard to do. Yes I want to ask the Firehawks what is going on! Where are they?

Alright. This is a silly reason for not asking. Kel is on and you can ask her to poke us to hop over. There is also this lovely invention called in-game mail. It helps provide a means to talk when times don't match up.

Interesting as the Fellowship really wasn't raid ready or raid intense in the first place. It was a RPing guild, with a nice twist with the challenge, journal entries, and friendly OOC. Now that all seems to be a thing of the past. Sad in a way.

Nothing I said related raiding to the Fellowship. We raid off server. Thus you haven't seen us on the server. So where you get that little bit of information I have no clue but suffice it to say you are wrong. The Fellowship is entirely RP related and not at all raid related, I simply was explaining what Angel and I have been busy doing. Sorry it doesn't line up with what -you- think we need to be doing.

The thing here I saw was that some us cannot seem to find what we had in the RPing play within this Fellowship. Even when we try at various times of the day or evening. And so must move on to other things because there is a lack of it here. . So we wind up splitting our attention unintentionally for RSF's benefit. You fault, my fault, it's still happening.

This sounds like a personal problem. I don't know about you but many others have seem to have found great ways to get involved in the RP. From Sneeve and his entrepreneur business to Kreydes and his hunt for vengeance against Alexander Yuri. You seem to think that unless you are in the main line of the RP, where your character is in control of some major plot point that the RP is not worth doing or there is no RP going on. I'm sorry but this is how I am seeing it and if this isn't the case then change it.

Do something about it and don't just sit here and whine. This is a Fellowship as Angel said. You have been given instructions by Ratheron, he's posted things that need doing for the Fellowship. He's also told you that we are allied to the Darkspear Rebellion. If that doesn't tell you things that you can be doing related to the RP then I don't know what you want from me because if you can't -find- a way to get into the RP on your own then what makes you think I can help you get involved?

That is the thing. You are asking for some direction when the direction has been given and shown and now its a matter of people actually following it but you aren't. You are simply looking around and seeing no one because real life and other priorities are taking precedent and going "Waaah! Where are peeps for RPs?!?!" We have a Journal thread, yes I need to post. I'm sorry I haven't but that does not require all this drama being created over it.

I will be in game today to talk to everyone. If this continues know that it won't be pretty. For anyone. Consider yourselves warned.

And don't make it a 1 on 1 RP.

06/13/2013 09:35 AMPosted by Bane

I would like to see people not having every single RP be one on one based.

I see a journal page directing me to a Google document. How many actually players were involved in that RP session? is this not a one on one?

I see an 11 page journal posting, how many players were involved in that?

One on One is what I can find, it's what I will go with.
