The Ring of Portals
A shimmering sign levitates above the mist here. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground.

Great source of conversation there...

Hartstone was and probably will always be the smallest guild in Serenwilde. Though it is quite rare that only one or two are around. It could also be that some were on different planes and there you cannot hear gnt and don't appear on your gwho.

I wonder why..
Niara2005-02-16 15:19:25
Because we don't have the fancy fae or nice and shiny smashing weapons. The guild doesn't attract as many people as the other guilds as we probably don't appear to be as capable of bashing as others.

I'll trade my Fae in for a Hartstone demesne any day. My Fae may sprinkle pixie dust as I walk and spam the room when called but that's about it.
Shiri2005-02-16 15:45:50
Novices don't know that, though.

People like censor.gif .

The guild's smallness.

It's a loop. People don't join because it's not active, so it can't become active.

You'd be surprised how savvy many new players can be about a guild before joining it.





edit: Name censored to protect the guilty. We do not tolerate Charachter bashing. Quotes have been censored as well.
Niara2005-02-16 16:51:23
Yes, yes, Narsrim, you surely would trade that...then why don't you change guilds? Also, as you are one of the offensive players here, the demesne doesn't help much when you go and raid a village. It is rather difficult to set up a demesne while guards and whatnot is beating on you. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining in any way but combat with a demesne simply works different.
Oh, and Ceres, please spare me and everyone else such comments about censor.gif . She surely has a reputation but so do a lot other people. When I read such things I often think about rocks and glass-houses.

Not active? Wow.. thats so wrong on so many levels...
Ceres2005-02-16 18:36:48
Lookit the first post. I understand that's the common state of things. I've never seen Niara except bashing.

Find an in-character way to look me up. You need something?

I wanted to join Hartstone, but a combanation of censor.gif and lessons loss stopped me.
Veonira2005-02-16 21:43:52
I've gone for hours on end in the Geomancers with either just myself, or one or two others around. Just look at Topguilds, where we always hover closely to the bottom of the list. Although Paladins seem to be doing a bit worse than us lately.

But then again, there are times when there are 10 or more of us around. It just depends on time of day.
Kaervas2005-02-16 22:34:30
There's a Paladin guild?!
Ceres2005-02-17 00:07:26
Pala-what?
Daganev2005-02-17 00:08:24
Change the name, watch the population go up.
Shamarah2005-02-17 00:14:56
Change the Moondancer name, watch the population go down.

Seriously, I bet a large number of true newbies to IRE choose Moondancers based solely on the fact that the name sounds really, really cool.

LoL really? I almost -didn't- choose the Moondancers because the name sucks, in my opinion.

*Shrug* It's a matter of taste, and I have none.
Niara2005-02-17 12:30:09
So, Ceres, for you 'active' means playerfighting and killing? Uhm............
