AddOn Author Guilds?

[Cairenn]

Do you guys want me to set one up? Unfortunately I'll only be able to set up on the North American servers, unless I greatly miss my guess, so someone else will need to step up for the EU folks. Completely unsure what is happening with the Oceanic folks, whether they'll be on NA or EU servers, or have their own as well.

Anyway, yeah, folks in NA, would you like me to set up a guild on the live server? Suggestions on names?

I wouldn't mind joining such a guild.

From what I understand your account can play on any server but each character is tied to a specific one. So, I could for example, play with friends in the UK, if I had any that played games, on the EU server and play with my US buddies on the US server.

ESOUI official guild wouldbe cool. Id join.

[Shinni]

I'd join too, but I'll be playing on EU servers.

Call it either something simple like "Addon Authors" or something more subtle like "Advanced Tech Pioneers".

It could prove useful. Barring that, you could just make and sub to a chat channel. We don't need the other things like a guild bank.

Okay, I tried GetGuildName() when I first popped on to reserve my character names, and it won't let me use () so that one is out, at least in that iteration of it.

There have been a ton suggested at this point, do we have any favourites yet? In alphabetical order, here's what have been discussed so far. You'd think that out of 44 suggestions by now, we'd be able to pick one.

In my opinion, I would want something that we addon authors understand, but not be blatant about what the guild is. So to me, 'AddOn Authors' would be out but tongue in cheek names like 'Bloody Fingertips' would be in.

Okay guys, making an executive decision here (partly). With input from others, I've cut the list down to 15 suggested names. I'm going to create a poll with the 15 options, let everyone vote on it. I'll give it a week, then we'll go with whichever one wins. I'll set it up with a temporary name for now, gonna run with Arcane Scripters Guild until we decide on a final. See you guys in game!

Link to poll.


Also, send me a tell in-game or pop into the IRC channel for guild invites - @Cairenn
