Hello, Nekos!
Our guild has been around for a few months now. In that time, we’ve had periods of activity and inactivity. We’ve experimented with a little of everything. Not everything has worked, but we’ve learned a lot.
Neko Punch is the first guild I’ve formed in any game. I have always been in ArcheAge for the long haul, so I’ve chosen to see whatever failures we’ve experienced as learning experiences. There’s certainly been a learning curve to guild management, so I thank you all for sticking with us.
One thing I have learned is that a guild cannot be all things to all people. Lachna and I like to have our fingers in a little of everything AA has to offer, and we’ve always wanted to be a welcoming guild, open to anyone who wants to join. That will never change, but I believe our guild needs to narrow its focus in order to be useful to its members.
In light of the upcoming 2.0 update, Neko Punch is officially announcing the following:
- We are a casual guild for active players, and welcome newbies looking for guidance.
- Our primary focus is on trading and crafting.
- We will continue to partner with No Sodium and others for PvE and PvP activities, therefore allowing an outlet for people with branching interests (including myself).
- It is our intention to remain neutral and ineligible to participate in guild wars. This means will we actively work to stay below Guild Level 3.
Also: Please note that a hard limit of one month inactivity will be implemented effective immediately, unless special arrangements are made in advance with an officer. Players inactive for 4 consecutive weeks will be kicked, but they will be eligible for re-recruitment if they return to the game.
I realize our guild has had some growing pains. We’re currently in a bit of a lull. However, I thank you all for sticking with us and encourage anyone with leadership interest to step up. Specifically, if anyone wishes to step up as event organizer for trade runs, PvE (dungeon, world boss raids), PvP (world events, green-v-red piracy), please talk to Azelle or Lachna.
In addition, for the time being, anyone who wants invite privileges will be granted them (ask Azelle), provided they are willing to refer recruits to our rules page.
Thank you all again for helping make Neko Punch a delightful place to be!
