Legion Development

TeaLeaf · September 23, 2009, 10:09:38 AM

DML was formed on 20th September 2009 and we now need to start planning ahead to formalise the Legion, its structure, membership criteria etc. How we do this will become clearer as we level and experience more end-game content, but for now I have copied from my original post so that we can start developing the structures and systems we will need.

Quote from: TeaLeaf;289804Proposal for comment:

I propose that the above volunteers, Armitage, b00n, Bellanie, DannagE, DuVeL, Jim, KKND, Luminance, lunares, valdeko and I, will form a loose 'Founding Members' Club' for DML and share the setup costs of the Legion (est 12,000 Kinah) to be reimbursed from DML's Legion Bank when possible. Other members may contribute to start up costs and costs will reduce the more members contribute. Initially I propose that I be the one to open the Legion at the Sanctuary, so early cash donations will be needed as L10 comes around pretty quickly.

I further propose that the Founding Members manage the Legion for a period of up to 2 months from launch. Before the end of this period the Founding Members will formalise the Legion structure and set in place documented rules for the ongoing administration of the Legion. This will allow time for members to see if they will be continuing to play the game and for a proper set of rules and a Council to be established.

I also propose that by the end of the two month period I pass leadership of the Legion to a newly agreed DML Council member (this might or might not be one of the Founding Members).

If the game is well supported then I propose that the new head of the Legion would be given dMw Game Admin status and take on responsiblity for running the Aion section within dMw and the other responsiblities & duties accompanying Game Admin status.

The proposal is for this Legion to remain a dMw Legion in terms of its ethics and standards and for leadership of the Legion to be retained within dMw.

In the mean time, can everyone remember that Centurion members can do Legion invites (the in-game command is /ginvite playername) so if you party with someone you think fits our mold then invite them to the Legion please. DML will need critical mass to succeed and we need to get that critical mass from the Telemachus server players.

So for the moment, recruitment is down to YOU!

GL & HF Guys :thumbsup2:

Can I suggest that we might want to think about firing a few recruitment messages into global chat channels then? I already saw some other legions starting this over the last couple of days.

Happy to try whatever options we have. My only concern is that we have no quality control when it comes to a general shout in channels and could end up getting a bunch of retards whom we later or more immediately need to kick. My preferred route remains to invite people we party with and who seem good, but what do others think we should do to drive numbers up and get the critical mass we need?

Me and KKND had a few guys joining our party which seemed to be okay guys but over VC's we had a chat, how do we know they are mature enough for Deadmen as in age and such?
Just hint them towards the forums and so?

If you get on with them and they do not appear to be idiots, ie you seem to like them, then try them out and ginvite them. It's not rocket science and being old does not guarantee being drama-free, just apply common-sense.

valdeko · September 24, 2009, 08:53:46 PM

Common-sence.... what was that again?

Kinda lost it in dMw

DarkAngel · September 25, 2009, 02:04:18 PM

We need to make the guild level 2 in aion were on the limit and cant invite any new players until we do

So login tl and well get it done

Luminance · September 25, 2009, 07:31:41 PM

We could also limit everyone to have only his main char in the guild, that way we can have 30 unique people in the legion.

TeaLeaf · September 26, 2009, 07:59:31 AM

Aye, you can kick some alts (like mine) to free up some space. As I said to DA last night, it needs 1.2 million Kinah for a level 2 guild, so we'll all need to chip in to get it done. I was not able to get online last night (queue fun) but will be on today.

Jewelz^ · September 26, 2009, 08:49:30 AM

whats the player cap for the maximum guild level?

TeaLeaf · September 26, 2009, 11:17:32 AM

I believe it is 90.

Bellanie · September 26, 2009, 11:36:24 AM
