new guild rank
 

I wanted to know what you were doing about the new rank veteran. I personaly am going to demote most of my officers to veteran. Dose anyone on test know how i can do that when it goes to the open server.

The same way as you would demote an officer.

What powers does an Veteran have? I want to change my member's ranks around too.

Veterans can only recruit, not eject. So pretty much, an officer without the ability to eject.

Yes, so if you are going to make a guild and you want a lot of people, you can make every member a veteran and have a few officers. I do think with the update they need to add "vet" and "vets" to the dictionary so we don't have to type it out.

didn't I see that officers will not be able to eject any more than 5 a day? Does anyone know if they can eject the veterans? Or are veterans now going to be protected from ejection unless done by the GM.

Thank you so much, Sven. You are always so helpful. :buds:

Officers cannot eject veterans at this time.

Well, I plan to do this with the new veteran rank.
First of all, I'm demoting any inactive officers to the veteran rank. I am also going to make it much more difficult to become an officer.

Next, I plan to promote a few members who have been in the guild a while, but that I dont feel I want as high as the officer rank.

Then in the long run, I'm going to make players veterans if they have been in the guild for 2 weeks, unless I feel that they deserve it earlier or later.

Oooo i like this rank then also it be harder for the guild attackers to attack if the only get to vet and also it would be very nice to have the vet ranking thats awesome

Is this still on Test?

Yes, it's still on test.

Thanks SvenO!

BANNED!

I like the new rank.

I plan to keep my guild the way it is hehe saying as i am only guildmaster of 14 members now :( Just me and high court but i would advise everyone to only have officers as your very top members the best of the best then veterans right below that then you have your members.

My guild and I are still kinda figuring out how to handle this rank.

For the time being, we plan to keep everything as is. Members are Members, Officers are Officers, etc. etc. However, when the time comes for Officers/CoT to meet again, and decide on who should be promoted or demoted, we will try to implement this new rank, either as a stepping stone for newer promotees, a demotion of Officer - we'll just have to see.

Personally, I would have much rather prefered a rank ABOVE Officer instead of below it, mainly because it fits both the heirarchy of our, and many other, guilds. Something along the lines of a Senior Officer/Co-Guildmaster, who would have a better ability to run the guild than just a regular Officer, in the absense of the Guildmaster.

ya i agree with that to del there should be a rank for a little higher then a officer we should have the Co-Guildmaster rank so if the GM went on vk then Co-gm would be able to handle every thing a little better if needed that is so point is we need more ranks! lol lol

I think that if they added the ability to have 2 Co-GMs, they would have enough guild ranks. The veteran status is handy, but They should add Co-GM like many of you said

Your going to lose a lot of your guild if you start demoting officers. i know i would be out in a heartbeat. If you don't want them as officers you should have been more selective in the first place. Just remember their are plenty of "Guilds in the Sea"

I believe our officers will stay no matter the rank they have..as they have put a huge investment of time and effort into it. Also, we vote.

Can they vote for a new Guild Master?

Well, think of it from their point of view: They've put in all this work to the guild, and they get slapped across the face by getting demoted to a rank with less power. How would you feel?

If you do vote on this, don't exactly expect them to be for it.

Speaking from the point of view of both Eternal Warlordz and PNC, I have to throw my two cents in. The two guilds are both set up differently. It seems to me that the selection process for both are different as well. The in-guild ranks are different as well.

The way I see this is that if I get demoted to veteran in the Warlordz, I won't see that as much of a demotion because Molly is still above me in the Warlordz rank, and the power I have as an Officer rank in there is that of only guilding and unguilding in emergencies anyway. However, in PNC, it would be different. An immediate demotion in PNC just because of the veteran rank coming out would be a lot different because the rank of Officer is so much different in PNC.

It's all about how you run your guild. Both of my guilds know where the boundaries are for their officers, and they are different.
