It was a big week for the guild!
First off, we completed a record
three upgrades in one week. Thanks to everyone who donated, and special thanks to Beastmaster and Destroyer, who I believe donated the most Treasures of Tyranny out of everyone and pushed us over the edge on that third upgrade.
We built:
The Mine, which produces Metal required for some Stronghold upgrades.
The Quarry, which produces Stone required for some Stronghold upgrades.
And most importantly,
Guild Hall Level 4! Our Stronghold fountain looks fancier now and more NPCs live in the Stronghold.
Now that our Guild Hall is Rank 4, we can collect resources to
build Marketplace Level 2. That will immediately benefit everyone because we'll be able to buy more things from the Stronghold shops! We need
Surplus and
treasures from Sharandar and Dread Ring. Please donate whatever you can to help get the Marketplace upgrade started.
We also had our big
Maze Engine stream last night, with IccyAsd, Viva la Wong, Andarr, WestX, and JSmith playing along with me at different points during the stream. Everyone who watched the stream live had a great chance to win a Boar mount, and we also gave Boar mounts to the people who showed up in the Stronghold for our group shot at the start of the stream.
Thanks to all of you guys. Please keep
tuning in during our streams and
showing up for guild meetings like our Sunday morning meetups!
I'm still around just varies how much time I have each day. I do say hi in the chat but I don't hear anything back so I assume either people are busy or nobodies around. I only have the one character (and most likely will) so no alts. I'm still donating stuff to the coffer mainly from well of dragons and doing the quests available at the guild but never see anyone around. I'll keep trying though!
One problem could be that it gets hard to tell who people are that used the randomly generated names for their characters. So I bet sometimes we see you but don't realize it's you.
We really value your contributions to the forum and coffer donations. But it would also be great to have you around during guild meetups like the one we did on Maze Engine release night and our Sunday morning meetups. (Sorry if you came to the Saturday stream and I didn't notice. I couldn't look at everyone's names.)
Those are just the best times for us to get to know each other, and also to accomplish things that only a strong guild can do. For instance, we were probably 2 strong players away from defeating a Stronghold dragon on Tuesday. We got it down to 10% health before time ran out. Hopefully we can continue to grow the guild and make goals like that easier to accomplish.
