As many of you may know, the Ironman Challenger guilds need to be reformed whenever they get close to leveling. I have petitioned Blizzard, but unfortunatly, there is nothing that they can do. What this means is that we are going to have to create a new guild and transfer everybody over one by one. I'm working out a plan to get this done quickly and painlessly, so when the time comes I hope it will be a relatively easy affair. Thanks for your co-operation, and I'll be sure to let you guys know when/how it's going to take place.

You guys have that much XP on WRA already? On MG, we haven't even filled one bubble yet. I have a few people that I will reform with, but I am afraid of the possible squatting if we release the names. Can we get the names back if we just disband and reform, or is there like a 90 day wait on names like for toons?

Last night, we had almost 3 bubbles, dunno what it is right now. Yes, the names are available right away - the problem on WRA is that the guild has an odd structure right now - everyone is an officer with all powers, and the GM is the only one who can disband - and he's inactive. In order to coup an inactive guild leader, he must be inactive for 30 days - by the time we reach that, we'll already have dinged. I have a solid plan for how to handle the transition, so I'm looking for experienced volunteers to help with that. Edit: We had over 350 members last night, so I'm sure that helps us level faster Edit again: Actually I'm not sure about guild names. The GM told me that we could just disband and reform - so i'm not sure if they would be immediatly available or not. Probably would have to wait untill the armoury loads that info. (Which right now means a couple years lol)

I have a solid plan for how to handle the transition, so I'm looking for experienced volunteers to help with that. Since I'm not sure what your plan entails, I don't quite know what you mean by experienced, but I'm available to help wherever help is needed. As a side note, it would probably be smart to use a level 1 character as the GM for the next and any subsequent incarnations of the guild. I saved the name Ironleader a little bit ago. If it strikes your fancy, I'll gladly hand the name over to whoever is starting up the next guild.

dragon, That's a really good idea Basically what i meant were people who wouldn't mind sitting for a while constantly accepting guild requests The basic plan is: 5 people quit and reform guild with new charter, while 1 stays in old guild. When the new guild is formed, the one left starts moving people over group by group (so not all at once) by telling them to quit and sending them to the 5 waiting people for re-inviting to the guild. As for guild master, its not totally up to me, but my suggestion is that it falls to someone who is willing and who definitely will remain involved in the Ironman challenge no matter how many ragequits or toon deaths they suffer, as well as someone we can all trust not to spam crap and screw with guild controls and whatnot

Will do everyone Thanks for the volunteering! I'll take a look later tonight when I get home, see how close we are to dinging soon. Unless someone can tell me right now how far along we are.

Its at 7,871k/16,580k exp, so about 3 and 1/3 bars.
Edit: and apparently people have invited more into the guild, there's 904 members in the guild with almost 100 online lol.
I think that when we do reform the guild, not everyone should be allowed to invite lol.

Holy Sh*t that's a lot of members. Ok, so we're probably going to have to reform in the next day or two. Afterwards, I'll see if Blizz can level lock the guild just like they do for players.

I don't think there is a level lock for guilds, I think the only real limit that is on a guild atm is the member list is capped at 1000 members, which I'm sure by now we're at lol. Like I said when the next one is formed, we'll have to have a set number of officers/members that can invite, and tell them that they can only invite 50 members a day or something. Or have two/three guilds dedicated to the challenge running at a time.
As for the guild level cap, we'll have to leave feedback for blizz and request it, if we get enough people wanting it, they'll add it.

Well I set a time for this to happen: Tomorrow Night at 9:00pm. The new guild will be MUCH more organized than the last one, our current one has grown way out of control. No one respects anyone anymore, I proposed my new DK rules and they were all too busy yelling at me and saying I was "trying to exploit the challenge".

If you need anyone to help out i can. I may be a little immature at times but i leave it with jokes, No spamming, so if you need some more people I'll help if i'm on. Edit: Crap it is a PST server, I probably can't help, but if you ever need anything just message me in game if i'm on, or leave me a PM on here. Edit 2: Also I'm gonna try and be active on these forums so I shouldn't be to hard to get ahold of.

Hmmm WRA is a PST server right? If so I should be done with raiding by then, but if not, I'll be on as soon as I am. Add me to real id, Akline1478@hotmail.com, and let me know what you'd need me to do.
