Alliance Merger

Officers from the three guilds in the alliance have been discusing a merger between our guilds to consolidate our active members. The nitty gritty was discussed and worked out though a meeting with representation from all guilds. The end result is that we will all be consolidating into one guild with one central site and teamspeak. This will allow members to find each other and organize get togethers more often.

Votes were taken and MeM was determined to be the guild we would merge into. We also have restructured the guild to reflect the merger with representation from all the involved guilds. The guild will be run with a central core of officers that votes on any important decisions. The guild leader will be just like any other officer but will settle any disputes between officers if needed.

The new Officer List is:
Monty - AoF
Grimli - AoF
Marek - MeM
Janus - MeM
Grimm - MeM
Delta - SW
Rosie - SW

Guild Leader - Koraschuth

Each guild is notifying their current members and preparing for the switch. I will be leaving my extra account in AoF to help members move over. Steelwind does not have anyone active with an extra account at the moment. Rosie will be staying with SW for the time being and helping notify her members.

Read forum post for details of MeM's wesite and TeamSpeak http://aofguild.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=2650#2650

Contact me if you have any questions.

Alliance Merger!

There will be an alliance meeting on 4/4/09 at 8:30PM EDT to discuss the details of a consolidation of guilds.

Seeing as GW2 is at least a year from becoming a reality, a consolidation of guilds will allow active members to see who is online by viewing the guild roster. Details on which guild will be active and leadership and officers will be posted after we (alliance leaders and officers) come to a decision.

Halloween 2008 Event: Join The Mad King's Revel

It’s Halloween in Tyria, and Mad King Thorn is back to spread his own malevolent brand of lunatic fun. The maniacal monarch has come to play, and he’s got a cornucopia of mini-games, jokes, and riddles to delight and dismay his fellow revelers. You can play along if you’ve got the nerve and the know-how, but before you accept his challenges you need to understand the stakes. If you beat the Mad King at his own games, you’ll earn fabulous prizes and special mementos to mark the occasion; if you lose, you get killed. Fortunately, Mad King Thorn’s idea of fun includes letting the vanquished come back for more, so you’re always encouraged to return from the grave and give it another try. You don’t even have to contend with the Mad King’s tricks to get a treat—there are plenty of other ways to earn prizes, like participating in special events throughout the weekend, or simply exploring in the eerie glow of the King’s flickering firelight smile. Mad King appearances The Mad King will visit Kamadan and Lion's Arch on October 31, 2008.

[Dev Update] Upcoming Changes to the Hall of Monuments - 24 June 2008

[Dev Update] Upcoming Changes to the Hall of Monuments - 24 June 2008

Since the release of Eye of the North there has been a lot of discussion about how the Hall of Monuments works. We intend to address a few of the larger concerns raised by players. We are not able to announce a specific date at which these changes will be released, but we're explaining them now so that players can choose their play patterns accordingly.

1. In the Hall of Monuments, you will be able to choose to view your accomplishments by character or by account. This is a setting you’ll be able to switch back and forth.

2. Hall of Monuments accomplishments will be sent to Guild Wars 2 by account. All Hall of Monuments accomplishments for any Guild Wars character on your account will be available to every Guild Wars 2 character on your account.

3. We will be adding support for Tormented weapons to the Hall of Monuments.

Account-based Accomplishments
Because the Hall of Monuments displays accomplishments on a character-by-character basis, many players have felt strongly discouraged from playing multiple characters. To allow greater freedom in play style, we are changing the design for the Hall of Monuments. Accomplishments will be transferred to Guild Wars 2 on an account-by-account basis, and players will have the option of displaying their accomplishments by account or by character in the Hall of Monuments. (Please note that the armor statues in the Monument to Resilience will reflect the appearance of the character currently in the Hall of Monuments, not the character that originally displayed that armor set.)

Tormented Weapons
Currently, the Monument to Valor only allows the display of Destroyer weapons. Adding support for Tormented weapons will allow us to give players more options for what they want to display (and unlock for Guild Wars 2) without diminishing the exclusivity currently associated with this monument.

Guild Wars 2 Unlocks
Aside from the switch to account-based accomplishments, this has not changed. You will be able to add to the Hall of Monuments in the original Guild Wars even after the release of Guild Wars 2, and any newly unlocked accomplishments will then be visible in Guild Wars 2. We will provide more information about the exact rewards for each Hall of Monuments accomplishment as we get closer to the release of Guild Wars 2.

Beware of Fake E-mails

Beware of Fake E-mails

We have recently noticed a number of fake e-mails being circulated telling players they are eligible to participate in the Guild Wars 2 Closed Beta.
Please be aware that these mails are phishing attempts to get your account information, and players should not reply to them.

ArenaNet or NCsoft employees will never ask for your password.
