i think the few that still play this game active noticed it aswell that we came to a point we havent been yet. Atleast not when i have been activly playing the game. Not only arent we able to form guildgroups anymore but also arent we able to form Rare pugs anymore. I know there is still people that really like to play this game and simply cant because of RL issues/dutys or timezone problematics but there is also many people of this guild that have lost the motivation for this game/server/ maybe even our guild during the last years. We have lost alot of people but we recruited even more and all of them are and were a part of this guild and i think everyone that is or was in Rare knows that there is a crucial difference to every other guild you can find on the server. The combination of skill, principles and a good personality in every single one of our members. In my opinion especially the last 2 points differ us from the other guilds. Sadly i see myself realizing this concept is not working anymore for a small server like Uthgard. People that combine all the "Rare-attributes" PLUS being active and dedicated RvR-players are really really unique. Ive been working on this guild for many years and while i was active usually we were atleast able to get some pugs going.
The fact that so many of our old members left us due to rule violations and conflicts with my personally also comes to count. I know i dont have the easiest personality and i am sometimes way to dogged for this game but that is something i can't change. I still love to play this game tho and this won't change until Camelot Unchained either (if it changes then at all
) so im now trying to find a solution to get happy on Uthgard again and feel part of a community that shares the same or atleast the closest to the same attitude that i share with this game. Thats why im thinking about applying to Requiem. Apart of 2 obvious exceptions i have never had any trouble with one of them during the many years we know eachother, now i havent talked to anyone of them yet because i wanted to talk to you guys first.For me there are certain kind of options atm.
- Asking Requiem to merge our hib toons to Requiem and their alb toons to Rare.
- Giving up the leadership of Rare to a member i completely trust and join Requiem alone.
- Getting active ourselves again and revive our guild (my personal favorite but also the one i think is most unlikely)
- dissolve Rare completely on Uthgard but keep the guild and forum up together for future games like Camelot Unchained
This being said, this is a discussion thread, i havent made any decisions yet and havent talked to anybody about it and thats why i want you guys to handle this topic very cautiousness, we dont need to spread any rumors yet nothing has been decided, so lets keep it between us and lets try to find a solution.
Fact is, i want to play this game again with the feeling im part of an active community that when it fails, fails together and when it succeeds succeeds together. I dont have that here anymore and it makes me fucking sad.
Cheers
