WoW: GWJ Alliance Guild Primer

Blizzard moved the Armory stuff over to Battle.net, so the Guild Page is over there now.

If you hit the roster and sort by rank, anyone in rank 1 or 2 can invite.

OP has been updated!

Thanks Richy!

I know this is completely bad form, so apologies but I've not played WoW in a long time. I used to have a gnome rogue on Blackhand and was in the Alliance guild, but have not played it in some time as I said. Can someone invite me to the guild? Vrikkian is the name, and as much as I try I can't seem to figure out how to find who is in the guild still.

Again, apologies for bad form.

YAY, another gnome rogue! Solidarity!

I seem to have stagnated at Fairy Princess or something and now can't even talk in /g! I'm guessing this is because I wasn't playing for a while. What do I need to do to get activated? It's very lonely not being able to say anything!

/who gwj
Find anyone on the list and ask them to point you to an officer.

I don't think there is a rank that doesn't let you talk in guild chat. You may have been removed from the guild due to inactivity. See above.

Well, I can still *see* guild chat and all the guild info so I'm guessing I'm still in the guild and the armory thinks I'm still in too, but when I try to type something in /g it tells me I don't have permission to do that. I guess I'll just find an officer next time I'm on, but I was hoping the forums could explain *why* so I know what not to do in the future!

Interesting. Perhaps "Time Out Room" (The level for hacked accounts, and me, when it tickles Grinds' fancy) does not allow for people to use the guild channel. I'm not an officer, but I doubt it has anything to do with something you did, unless you were made aware of it prior to the demotion (repeat offense of bad language in /g as an example). Perhaps you were hacked during your absence? Or just a simple mistake. Reach out to someone next time you are on, and I'm sure it'll get rectified.

Sorry, haven't checked this thread in a while. Hopefully, things are fixed. If not, send me a whisper. The "time out room" does not allow for /g chat but you can still see it. I don't remember you being a naughty, so it probably is a mistake.

So I am just brainstorming here, but how do you guys feel about a trade thread here on the forums? Yes, I know you can check out professions via guild tab in game, but I was thinking more along the lines of materials or rare crafts (e.g. limited by Chaos Orbs, Dreamcloth or transmute CDs). Since Cataclysm has brought a lot of new and returning players, this would also be a good way to help ease the way through profession leveling choke points (I had to wait for over a week until some Large Brilliant Shards were on the AH for example, which are critical to crafting the Runed Arcanite and Runed Fel Iron Rod). Also some of the older players would be able to clear some of their unused stockpiles and have the warm feeling of helping lowbies out in their tummy.

If this is received well, we could maybe incorporate one or two guild bank tabs into this, since we'll know which materials will be regularly needed by crafting alts and new members.

The way I picture it can be seen below and I would volunteer to maintain it on a daily basis, since I am browsing the GWJ forums at least twice a day anyway. I'd say we should keep it free, trade the materials or limit prices to "good will" values unless someone needs something really urgently and is willing to pay a tad more.

It's been over a year since I've played and I'm a lvl 67 Warrior and used to be in the guild. Can I get a reinvite?

Of course! Just do a /who GWJ and ask anyone who is online to put you in touch with an officer.

Massive whine redacted. Thanks! : )

Is vent down?

OP updated and cleaned up a bit. Let me know if anything needs adding, correcting, deleting.

Thanks Richy!

I'm pretty confident we will be switching to Mumble for raids, so a link to this in addition to the Vent stuff for the leveling crew would be sweet.

Done. You're listed as the PM contact for server info.

Awesome.

Just to be clear, anyone is welcome to use the Mumble server for whatever. So no one needs to be shy about asking for a PW. I'm just a bit wary of making it wide open with all the access info posted on the public site. Call me old fashioned.

Heya folks, just moved over to Blackhand and would like to play with some grownups. My main is Fortissimo, a human pally.

Hey.

When you get on, just search for GWJ and someone will get an officer in touch with you.

We got him in last week

If people need an invite to the guild and can't find an officer online they can PM me here or get in touch with me on Steam. Its no problem for me to log on quick and shoot out a guild invite.

Just as a heads up - I demoted a ton of inactive characters in the guild this week. If you need your status changed from inactive get in touch with one of the officers (Grinds, Cheeto, Lawkjaw, ZeroKFE) in-game, or shoot me a PM here with your toon's name and I'll get you back to the appropriate rank.

There's been a lot of requests from people lately to have alts invited or for people who've been out of the game a long time to join up to the guild. But for the past two and a half weeks or so there's been no one with the power to do this online.

Any suggestions?

Grab me on Steam. I can always jump on and do a guild invite.

Good Afternoon,

I am interested in joining your guild and would like to talk to an officer
at your earliest convience please, I am online now & will be online all day
today. I am a 71 priest and I am just returning to wow after about 4 years

wow, lotro, & other mmorpg games so I am very ayed back & know how to
follow directions from raid leaders & group leaders. My gear might be a
little lacking but I am willing to put forth the work to improve so that
way I can be benefical to the guilds goals of raiding & pvping. So again I
will be online all day till about 9pm est tonight & i realy look forward to
hearing from someone soon & thankyou for your time.

Hey,

is there a GWJ guild on an EU Realm?

P.S. Hello world ^^

Could someone in BHA send me along an invite? krev#1833 / char name ralick

Going to be re-subbung to this after a long absence. Anyone have a re-up code they want me to use so that you can get some free stuff? I will likely be sticking to Cataclysm and below, as my laptop can't handle, I don't think, anything higher.

Hey peoples (long time listener, once in an epoch poster). So I was reading about the Warlords of Draenor expansion later this year and the corresponding thread here. I've succumbed to the itch to play a big mmorpg again and was wondering how active this guild is? I only have a 33 warlock (actually on Emerald Dream, it seems) and while I'm sure the news has brought a lot of people back this 'low' level scene is pretty sparse... If anyone happens to be on emerald dream or if there is a pretty good community of like-leveled chars on Blackhand, I'd be interested in joining up (and transferring obviously). Consequently I haven't pre-ordered the expansion yet but again if the community is here I could be tempted further, hehe. What say you goodjers?
