This is a full recap of the guild meeting held on Saturday, May 9. If you weren't present for the meeting and would like to give feedback on any issue discussed, please feel free to reply here. Thanks!
Start of Meeting
- Brief mention of meeting rules: Please refrain from comments while others are talking.
There will be a chance to freely express your opinions after introducing the topic.
Addition of Branch Head
- Welcome Kiera as a new Branch Head! Congratulations~
- If you need any assistance, feel free to contact her now, as well.
Giving Thanks
- We want to thank our members who have been helping the guild so much with donations and
gathering fame. We're level 3 now and have been able to unlock many facilities and skills.
You are amazing and we appreciate your help.
Member Input
- Any questions or concerns are welcome. We want your feedback and ideas to grow.
- Weekly Goals (Leviatia)
- These ideas needs to be further discussed between the staff and may be set up soon.
- Ideas include:
- Gathering x materials in a certain time period
- Weekly dungeon runs
- For these, we would need more higher level members.
- We can try setting up leveling parties on certain days to help members.
- We can set up a forum to help everyone create parties or sign up for certain times.
- More tanks are necessary
- Certain days are better, we can try expanding to every day if it proves popular
and there are enough participants.
- Elder Quests & Fame
- Set elder days may become a thing, we may poll members in a thread asking for best days.
- Reward system for Fame needs to be discussed internally
- Possibly, every x amount of fame gained gets you a reward from us (Shippo)
- Or a cash-in system. If you have a certain amount of fame points, you can cash
them in for a prize. The prizes may change or there may be periods of time where you
can get better prizes on a first come first serve basis (Zeff/Leviatia/Sinclair)
- Google Docs can be utilized, elders can keep track of points and rewards. (Shippo)
- Donations welcome from everyone.
- Events
- Forum-based events may have more participation. We can also join in-game and forum for
certain events, such as giving riddles for areas or objects in-game that members need to find
and take a picture of themselves next to it, then post the screenshot on the forums for a
prize. (Leviatia)
- Mystery Pic event where there's a cropped image of something on the forums and members
would need to find it. (Avalin)
- Skype Chat Opinions
- Our skype chat is completely optional to participate in. Is it annoying or good for
communicating?
- Members stated it was fine. They also have the option to disable notifications and have it
notify them if their name is mentioned.
- Guild FB and Twitter Opinions
- Are these social media accounts necessary? Do members utilize them?
- Consensus was no. They are not necessary and most members do not use FB or Twitter
for it.
- Malachite Guild Quest
- Our goal further down the line is to be able to kill Malachite for guild fame.
- We need a minimum of two full teams of 50+ or 60+ (preferred) members.
- We need more high level tanks and support.
- Any other ways to improve guild
- More active members are always a plus, but not necessary. If you are going to be gone for
an extended period of time, please let us know.
- We need to refine some of the new ideas we received in this meeting before implementing
them, such as the reward system, party days and quest days.
- Once again, members are welcome to donate prizes, but it's not necessary. The guild staff
will attempt to fund prizes as best as we can.
- A small fee to join an event could be an idea, but might be discouraging. Also encouraging to
the people who do pay. (Dr.Baiacu)
- Note: We will keep this idea in mind, but we will not charge for events at this point in time
(if ever).
Current Goals
- We are working towards guild level 4, which requires 900 guild fame and 60,000 gold.
- We want to unlock the level 4 guild facilities when we reach that point. To do so, we need
material and gold donations. See this thread here for more information.
- We are always collecting more elder mats and alchemy mats. If you wish to donate,
Please place any elder mats in the rented warehouse in the guild cottage and all
alchemy mats in the private warehouse.
Guild Updates
- We have unlocked the Buddha statue in our Guild Cottage. You can pray to the statue
once a day for an EXP reward. To do so, buy a tribute item at the Guild Merchant I with
guild coins (see this thread) and click on the Buddha statue to begin praying. It takes
5 minutes to complete.
