Good morning all,
It has occurred to me, being stationed in Okinawa Japan, that there is a lack of players online at any given "comfortable" time within our timezone. Given this, it is extremely hard to ...
1. Juggle times to raid with other top tier guilds, lose sleep or work time to attend
2. Attend raid regularly due to the time difference
3. and when you do get to attend a raid, its usually not for long because of the before mentioned..
Given this, i have also seen in the forums people asking about guilds around this time zone, or a few hours off with little/no luck. i understand that the player base is very low compared to, say, Live.. but it seems even lower during play time for someone such as myself, who gets off work at about 4pm here which would be the equivalent to 2-3am the same day back in the states. In addition to that, most top tier guilds are either U.S based or Euro based, which isn't all bad, but still Euro guilds are a good 6-8 hours different
Because this creates problems with getting into raiding guilds for those of us in this situation, i wanted to propose forming a guild for us. i want to gear it more towards raiding than just socializing. Of course, begin small (tier 0 mobs, whatever we need to) but i think this is a possible solution to a problem i see as being fairly large to those of us high enough to do these larger raids but are bound by time constraints created by times set by members on the other side of the world lol.
I want to begin this guild being 50-60+ and progressing quickly to 65 and AA's. Exceptions, i believe can be given on a case to case basis (former player coming back, gave away old account, etc...) but you would be expected to catch up quickly.
This would also be a well founded guild for us in GMT time zone, starting slow and steadily... building up to raiding. I would like to avoid "guild characters" concept, making characters SOLELY because the guild wants you too, but we also have to recognize we will need certain classes for these raids, so if interested i more than promote the drive to fill in these classes (cleric, warrior, chanter,etc..) and as being a leader, or in a leadership position i would full support and help level chars to begin with.
I would love for this guild idea to flourish into a good guild for us in these odd time zones, and give us the ability to experience end game material as much as other U.S and Euro guilds. please leave any kind of comment to support this, or add your ideas. You can also contact me in-game on my main. Thank you again.
