Dansker Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) We are very excited to have the growth we have been having within the Swtor chapter of our community and very happy to have everyone here with us, we are now well over 400 accounts in the Swtor chapter currently and growing every day. With each account allowed to have over 40 characters, the 1,000 character limit per guild in game doesn't work for us very well at all; to that end, we have had to create several additional guilds to fit all of our members characters. We are currently up to 8 guilds between the Republic (5) and Empire (3) sides all named Covenant of the Phoenix and may need to grow beyond that depending on how many characters each of us gets up to on our accounts, that can make things very confusing to keep track of where to put a character. Guild Master List To help make it easier, we have come up with an internal naming system for the guilds to be used within the guild. The guilds were named the same name as the guildship in the guilds and the guild names are in the guild description at the bottom right of the guild window in game. The actual guild names will not change to reflect these new internal names and we will all still wear Covenant of the Phoenix as our guild name regardless of which guild our characters are in; in most cases, the guilds have specific groups to help keep them straight as well. Here is a list of what we have currently and how we are breaking them down: RepublicGuild Arlan - Conquest (Formerly the Main PVE guild) [Covenant of the Phoenix] No ALT Guild Kodiak - PvP Guild [Covenant of the Phoenìx] ALT + 141 Guild Darkfalcon - PVE (Events and other PVE related activities) [Covenant of the Phóenix] ALT + 162 Guild Lysander - Open for any Members' characters (Previously Alt 1 guild) [Covenant of the Phôenix] ALT + 147 Guild Drekken - Open for any Members' characters. [Covenant of the Phoênix] ALT + 136 EmpireGuild Mallik - PVE [Covenant of the Phoeníx] ALT + 161 Guild Skjoldr - PVP [Covenant of the Phoenîx] ALT + 140 Guild Eldonis - Open for any Members' characters. [Covenant of the Phöenix] ALT + 148 ReminderWith this many guilds, it's very important to use COTP chat as our main guild chat, we want to make sure that we are including as many as possible in the guild chat even across so many guilds; to join the COTP chat channel type "/cjoin COTP" in your in-game chat window. Guild Specific Requirements Our goal is to make sure there is enough room for everyone to join our community with as many characters as they want and play the way they want to play. With this many guilds, we are able to designate some guilds for certain things thus providing more things for our members to be a part of. We will still have requirements for a few of the guilds in order to maintain the goals of that guild and the requirements for each are as follows: Republic GuildsGuild Arlan: This guild will have more requirements than any others in order to be competitive in conquest. Members may guild up to ten (10) characters in this guild. This guild will do Purges as needed to any Recruit character not logged in for 30 days or Member/Officer character not logged in for 60 days. We encourage everyone to participate in conquest. Feel free to move characters into this guild for a week at a time or leave them there if that is how you want to do conquest. Guild Darkfalcon: This guild will be our Events guild and primary PVE guild on the republic side. There will still be a ten (10) character per account limit on this guild. This guild will do purges as needed to any Recruit character not logged in for 30 days or Member/Officer character not logged in for 60 days. This will be the guild for raiders not interested in conquest and for anyone wanting to participate at any time with the guild in any events. Guild Kodiak: This is a guild mainly focused on PvP. There are no restrictions or purges from this guild at this time. You may have as many characters in this guild as you would like for PvP. Guild Lysander: This is a completely open guild to anyone that is a member of CotP (Forum Registration and Application completed). There are no restrictions or purges from this guild at this time. You may have as many characters in this guild as you would like and play them however you want. We will invite as many characters to this guild as we can until the guild is full and keep it that way using other guilds as needed for more space. Guild Drekken: This will be the same as Guild Lysander. You may add as many characters as you'd like here. Empire GuildsGuild Mallik: This guild will be the same as Guild Darkfalcon above for the Empire side. Guild Skjoldr: This guild will be the same as Guild Kodiak above for the Empire side. Guild Eldonis: This guild will be the same as Guilds Lysander and Drekken above for the Empire side. I hope this helps to clarify where we are going and how we are moving forward, this type of expansion is mind blowing & amazing and its all thanks to you; the members of CotP. You make this community such a great place for people to come and be a part of what we do here, thank you all so much and keep up the great deeds! If have any questions or comments, please post them below. I fully admit I am not able to anticipate everyone's questions to answer them ahead of time.

Tiana Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Could you include the "real" names alongside the internal codenames, so we can see what's what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So my main character and 1 alt are in the guild now flagged as ember. I log in and play both of those characters every week, because of my job I cannot log in enough to make my personal conquest, So I should be expecting both of my characters to be purged from that chapter??

Phyreblade Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So my main character and 1 alt are in the guild now flagged as ember. I log in and play both of those characters every week, because of my job I cannot log in enough to make my personal conquest, So I should be expecting both of my characters to be purged from that chapter?? Actually, Kamen. What we're doing is creating a basic organization to our guilds that makes sense, that supports all of our activities so that each one of our members can find a space for their characters that fits their personal playstyle. All gathered together under one single banner called Covenant of the Phoenix, all the same and equal. But organized so that whatever you're doing, you have a place for your characters. If you are not interested in Conquest on your characters, Kamen ... please, only situate them nearby in Darkfalcon. Our officers are quick to assist in getting them moved, trust me. We have posted on the SWTOR forums several times over to dispute the hassle and havoc of trying to support a larger than average guild membership, believe me! But for now we have to contend with the limitations of 500 characters in a single guild, and we simply don't want to tell our members they can't create as many characters as they want to play, however they want to play them. This is simply our best effort possible at getting the whole thing organized, that's all. We're truly sorry for the inconvience, we do understand it's a pain.

Phyreblade Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Could you include the "real" names alongside the internal codenames, so we can see what's what? Tiana, they're all called Covenant of the Phoenix in-game. Some have alternative code symbols, is all. It was becoming difficult to discern which one was which, in fact. So we decided to refer to them by their ship names, to help clarify. Edited November 12, 2015 by Phyreblade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopsSciclex Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Could you include the "real" names alongside the internal codenames, so we can see what's what? I updated it for you Tiana. Tiana, they're all called Covenant of the Phoenix in-game. Some have alternative code symbols, is all. It was becoming difficult to discern which one was which, in fact. So we decided to refer to them by their ship names, to help clarify. I believe she was trying to get more clarification on which guild is what in game, this whole thing is a bit confusing at first, so anything we can do to help alleviate that is a plus.

Govic Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Agreed, I think it'd be helpful to have the in-game guild names on the post as well, with their alt codes. It'd be a bit less confusing for people I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyreblade Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hehe, you guys can admit it's been confusing for a while now. <Dang you, Bioware! Give me the chance to put everyone in one single guild, with one single name! Rather than force me into making a veritable MAP to figure out where to park our toons! Argh! Stomps foot! Kicks things!> Rant concluded. Return to business, folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyreblade Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 looking for some one to help me into vengence I only just saw your message, Deathtask. I'm sorry, I was in an operation on the Republic side this evening. If you get a chance, please join our custom chat channel, use /cjoin cotp and ask in that channel for an officer or recruiter who can provide you a ready invite into Vengeance; the channel is faction-specific, so if there's no officers on that side only ask on Republic side and one of us will gladly switch over to get you situated. Sorry for the headache, truly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
