Yes finally a new thread :) please read

Some things in the making....

First of all, the old Sage server has been overun by immature little kids and now has a pornographic statement appon log-in. I have no clue what happened to Fire vs. Fire (I fear WoW as there is a chat room on server from there) I have tried to contact him and have gotten no responce. So lets just call the old Vent info DEAD.

For the time being, LP will let us barrow theirs so long as we go into a non-public room that is not being used for something else at the time. If you log in to thiers, and people are in public...please introduce yourself (say from sage ) and ask if it is ok to barrow their PvE room for example... They will say yes naturally but it is curtious to ask anyway, Crimson, Wym and War Monk (may know him as Saul Dos from former WM) are usually there in public. If you need LP's Vent info, just ask me or Zeg or WM for it in game. Durring this time that we are serverless, I would appriciate it if we do not give thier info out to anyone that is not a Sage Guildie. I'm sure you understand why (if not see porno comment above

As soon as I am able I will try and get us our own Vent Server that I can Admin so if little kids do attempt a hostle take over, I can simply change the password and lock em out. Also, realy no worry of Brighid and I going to WoW (poor graphics, monthly fees and all) so I can assure that a new Sage server stays a Sage server. Once set up I see no reason we could not give out pass to puggers in HA or whatever if someone is needed. Cause we could always change it. Hopefully I will be able to make a Temp password for non Alliance players too. Main thing at the moment is cost. Kinda feels like I would be paying for a Monthly fee game and only getting a voice relay part of it


As for our currently drab looking forum here I do have a forum somewhat started. The new sage forum will be at www.gwsage.com (yes type the www part and no gwsage.com will not work, it leads to an other under construction site) The new forums are from the same provider as the z3.invisionfree.com/badwolf/index.php? (wolf alliance board). The new server will provide a lot more edit controll and the abbility to give guildies access to guildie only news, and have a public section as well as a section for guild officers. I will be tryin to get as much of our current forum here moved over, pictures and such and have a much cleaner design and navigation (again somewhat similar to the wolf board).

And yes, I know I have been teasing a new board for a while, but now Brighid is interested in helping set it up, so now things might get done faster Currently there is some technichal stuff that prevents log-ins and user creation via regular means. So for the time.. I am spending some time each night in the help forum they have for Admins and will get that resolved soon so you all can get a log in and check the progress (please wait till I get this working some first I will keep you posted.

Thats about it for now... I gotta spend some time on my Survivor hopefull BTW, say a Grats to Brig for a 3x GMC, the KOABD title and a total of 6 max titles ... WOOT ;D

P.s. Almost forgot, as the hollidays wind down, and we are able to settle some schedual wise, it seems we are need of some good ol' guildie things to do as a group again. The elite missions have been brought up, some good nights of PvP always a fun time (psst, Brighid-without-microphone now is just Brighid on Vent) Also, the Hide and seek game is about due for an other round too. It has been suggested the next round also cover guild halls that are in the alliance Anywho... I appriciate input as for things to do and will help anyone in organising something (this is for everone not just our officers here)

Hey Tam,

A few things about a vent server:

If you like, I can try to get one set up here. I might be able to host it from home, but I don't know if it's possible with my new ISP. If that doesn't work, I could get one running at work, but it would only be on at night (say, 6PM-5AM PST) and maybe weekends.

There's also the option of taking up a collection. I'd be willing to contribute a few bucks to the server fund, but I don't know how much it costs and how many others would be willing.

I don't have a whole bunch of time (school starts tomorrow, but at least it's my last semester), but I might also be able to help you out with any technical issues you have with the new forums.

Great, great and great

Server is about $10/month (just shy of a WoW account ) But if we go the collection route it would be a bit more achievable. Someone on LP said that using a local computer tends to get real slow and choppy on voice relay... kinda like TS. They also said that this is usually because you are splitting the bandwidth with you DL/UL stuff from the game and what not as well as shareing clock cycles if you try it on the same machine you play on. Where as a Certified Server would have a dedicated bandwidth and so on. But would could give it a try as a cost effective approach, otherwise I would be fine with the "sharred burden" on the pocket book so long as it was more than you and I paying I will pose the question on the guild anouncement.

As for the forums... heh, Nightfall and my almost-finished survivor are constant distractions but I can set you up a admin access login and some links for referance when/if you like. Also, feel free to email me at [e-mail]

Was planning on working on the forums some tonight... then my sound card arrived (according to the trouble codes .... this should fix my BSOD problems )
