This week we’ll explore the nuances of the Guild Interface,
which is your tool for managing your guild and keeping in touch with fellow
guildies. Our Guild Interface is really comprehensive and user-friendly,
containing all the tools you need as a guild leader, guild member, or alliance
member. The guild interface contains six different windows: Profile, Calendar,
Roster, Standard, Rewards, and Admin.
The profile tab
contains the guild summary, the guild description, message of the day, guild
website, guild email, statistics, and news. In addition, guild members
can set up a guild profile to tell other players about the guild and leave
notes within the guild interface.
The Calendar is a guild reward that is granted once the guild reaches the appropriate guild level. With this tab, the guild can view, set up, and manage guild events. The Calendar can be viewed by month, date, and year, and summaries and details can be added to each event. Additionally, there is a sign-up list which allows guild members to sign up for specific events, and provides an option to allow guild members with the appropriate permissions to Accept and Decline sign ups.
- The Calendar provides a unified interface to organize and participate in large and small activities and events.
- It allows players to quickly overview what’s happening with the guild and alliance to facilitate a more cohesive and active membership.
- It allows organizers to specify the requirements for participation as well as the ability to choose who will participate among the people who have shown interest.
- It allows people to sign up for activities they want to participate in.
The Standard window is
where the Guild’s standard is displayed. Standards are granted as a guild
reward and are two handed items that are usable by Standard Bearer’s on the
battlefield to grant bonuses to the party (more on Standards below under Guild
Standards). From this tab, Guild’s can view their Standard, Edit their
Heraldry, set the Standard post, and modify Tactics for the Standard. The
Heraldry Editor is accessed from this window,
The Edit Heraldry display allows guilds to choose a unique Heraldry configuration that is displayed on their Guild Standard. Heraldry reservation costs a fee and is granted as a guild reward, though the display of the Heraldry on the Standard is unlocked gradually through the guild rank progression. Heraldry customization options include a shape, base color, pattern, pattern color, emblem, and emblem color (there are 1-10 color variations per emblem).
The Reward tab lists each reward the guild can receives at each rank, and mouse-over information detailing each reward type. Members with the appropriate permission can also access the tactic purchase window from this tab (more on tactics below under Guild Tactics).
The Admin window is the tab
where Leaders and members with the appropriate permissions can set access to
certain guild privileges such as enabling and editing guild titles,
promotion/demotion guild/Alliance chat privileges, and calendar management
privileges, etc.
Xen of Onslaught first made its presence felt in WAR during the Empire vs. Chaos focus test in February 08'. They quickly earned the respect of some of their fellow players and joined the Retribution Alliance during the next focus. It wasn't long before many players were flocking to the XoO banner. The guild now has over 100 members in beta with many more waiting for Open Beta / Live. The XoO Community has participated in many Betas and is honored to have the opportunity to help test one of this year’s most anticipated MMOs.
From the Guild Leader:
XoO was founded around the central pillar of adult gaming.
Since its inception, the guild has maintained a strict 18+ age requirement as
the basis for membership. Keen to avoid the pitfalls of immaturity and
the associated e-drama, XoO's adult-only policy allows members to focus
positively on the games they enjoy without needless distraction. While
XoO is by no means an elitist clan, the quality of our community and superb
organization of resources often results in our members emerging as the best and
most respected gamers around. Our broad community encompasses every play
style from the full-on power gamer to the casual social player. Xen of
Onslaught has it all and Xen of Onslaught does it all.
At Xen of Onslaught, it's 'Game On!'
