I was just told by Nala tonight that the guild is only for a few friends and that I was not welcome. I don't know if that applies only to me or what but be advised that this guild that got started is not for everyone. Or everyone but me.

Not sure why this would have been posted if it was not an SLU guild and not everyone was welcome.

Nala

Hi guys.

Thought I'd pop in for a second to kinda nip things in the bud about this.

First, of all, no this wasn't anything personal to you Vivi, and I'm sorry you took it that way. (I had to afk for a moment before I could explain further, but you were gone before I could).

Second, the guild wasn't, nor was never meant to be, an SL or SLU guild. I'm personally out of SL for good at this point, so it wouldn't make too much sense for me to start up an SL/SLU guild, let alone lead one. I wasn't aware it had been posted here, so I do apologize for any confusion that may have resulted from that oversight.

Thirdly, the guild(s) is a private one, made up of some friends from both in and out of SL, that all know each other, know each other's play styles, and tend to get along well to that end. As such, it's not open to public enrollment. Again, I am really sorry if it came off any other way.

I just wanted to make sure all that was clear, and that it's not anything against any one person or group of people, and I am truly sorry I didn't get the chance to explain this further and in private. I wasn't aware that the guild(s) had been posted here until tonight (can you tell how often I read here? ) but didn't want anyone getting the wrong impression about me, the guild, or any of the people in it.

Again, sorry for the miscommunication, and will hope to see folks I know from SL in Aion, whether in the guild or not.

Edav Nomad

I'm sure Persephone wasn't aware of that or she wouldn't have mentioned it. Personally I haven't had much success with being in a guild with people I didn't know so I get where you are coming from.

Vivianne Draper

right. so there would be other people who were also told they were not welcome? and this was not discussed in guild chat? this isn't the only place I'd heard about the guild. Perse wasn't the only person who had the uh "misperception" that it was an open guild.

but nice try at the whole damage control thing.

I thought you and trin were my friends but i guess i was wrong. Too bad you didn't have the stones to actually say so to my face before today.

Persephone Milk

You are absolutely right Vivianne. This was entirely my fault. I apologize for the confusion I caused, and for any hurt feelings. In my excitement about the Aion launch, I posted as much information as I could. I didn't really stop to think, or talk to Nala about what his intentions for the guild were. It really is just a very small group of players. The intention was not to have a traditional large guild. I should not have posted the name here. I am terribly sorry for any trouble I have caused. I have removed mention of the guild from my earlier posts so that they don't cause any more confusion than they already have. My apologies to Vivianne, and to Nala. I am a dork.

except that you were not the only person who didn't realize that a small exclusive group of sluers wanted to form a clique. a few other folks mentioned this to me as well. so apparently nala didn't communicate to anyone.

be that as it may, i'm pretty sure it wasn't just nala and that a good deal of this is personal.

did you also reject everyone else who made a toon and posted it here?

Persephone Milk

I haven't rejected anyone Vivianne. I am sorry for the confusion.

Vivianne Draper

the guild has tho! come on lets not mince words. who else from here has the guild said is not welcome?

Since we seem to be all about rules in this guild (rules I didn't know existed), let me state officially that I will NOT be part of a guild that doesn't have an open enrollment. I didn't intend to have my decisions about who I guild-up with taken away from me, and we're hardly a raiding guild of level 80s that needs to consider the "player dynamic" at this stage of the game.


All I can say, since we're all very good friends is.... seriously? Really? If this is the true course of the guild, I'm quite disappointed in those who want it that way. It goes against everything I believe in, and I'll have to bow out.

A guild with a name that sounds like something a 12 year old boy would come up with, behaving like a guild composed of 12 year old boys.

How fitting

Persephone Milk

I am very sorry for all of this. I really did think the guild was open to all here. While I don't think there was anything personal in Nala wanting to keep the guild to just a few close friends ... I think that Nether makes a lot of sense. So, I have just now removed myself from the guild. I am only playing Aion to have some fun and do something with friends. My sincere apologies to all involved for my misunderstanding and for doing anything that may have hurt feelings.

So if a guild does form will someone send me an invite?

Vivi I can haz in your guild?

Edav Nomad

I could create a guild but it would have a pretty much of a hands off approach by me. It would just be a guild for mutual help. People here can be in it as well as people the members know and even people you meet along the way can join as long as they follow the one and only rule or you will be dealt with swiftly and surely:

Don't be an asshole.

Miriel Enfield

I caved and bought this game (the shiny, I cannot resist it), so I'd be up for this.

Edav Nomad

I created a Guild and unlike WoW you can start off with just one member. So far its a Legion of one. I couldn't think of a catchy name so I just called it Nomad. When joining you get the cloak automatically but the symbol can't be changed unless the Legion gets to level 2. To do that you need 100,000 Kinah (Aion's version of money) and at least 10 members.

Five More Quick Tips for Aion

We spent a lot of time playing Aion last weekend and have another round of quick tips to share with you. Check out last week's list in case you missed it. Enjoy!

1. Cheaply level your craft

This tip assumes you know the basics of crafting. The fastest and cheapest way to raise your crafting skill is to complete work orders given out by your crafting trainer in the Artisan district in your capital city. Crafting costs kinah (money), but there are three important things you should bear in mind to maximize your savings.

First, only grind up your skill on work orders 10-15 levels below your current crafting level. For instance, if your Tailoring is at 40, only do work orders that require a 30 Tailoring until you reach 50 skill points. Each work order will give you around 1-1.5 skill points, will complete more quickly with a higher level of success, and your extra ingredient(s) cost will be lower from the crafting vendor.

Second, only make as many items as needed to complete your work order. Each work order only requires that you create 6 items but the trainer gives you enough basic ingredients for 8. Too many people click "Craft All," which ends up wasting additional resources (i.e., money). Manually type in "6" and then press your craft button.
Finally, you will receive a random item reward each time you complete a work order. These rewards range from valuable crafting ingredients to new crafting recipes. It's usually a good idea to hold on to the extra ingredients for when you need them and sell off any recipes you don't need on the trade broker (auction house) to recover some kinah. Some of the recipes are quite rare and will fetch a nice price.

2. Maximizing your profits

The best place to make kinah is on the trade broker. That said, it isn't always the case... Sometimes people will list white items on the trade broker for less kinah than they can make from simply selling it to an NPC vendor. Strange, but true! If you find items undervalued on the AH it's always recommended that you gobble them up and resell them for profit.

Personal store items are also often underpriced so make sure to keep your eyes open. This is great when you find an item you need for a good price but even if you don't need it, you can turn around and sell it on the trade broker or to a vendor for a profit as well.

As for selling items on the trade broker, it's always a good idea to do a bit of quick research first. What are similar (or exactly the same) items listed for on the broker? Can you sell it for more to a merchant? If not, what are the cheapest few items listed on the broker? It's always a good idea to price your item cheapest unless there's a gap between the cheapest and the second cheapest items. If there's a big gap, price your item somewhere between the two. It won't sell first, but once the first one does, your item will now be the cheapest available!
