Official Forum

For the next week or so (this is not a concrete time frame), certain parts of the forums will be unavailable.

Character Powers and Abilities (and everything therein)
Synthesis (and everything therein)
Game and Lore
Erinn's Q&A
Members Only

The purpose of this is to clean up, reevaluate, and implement a few new parts. All approvals for powers will be on hold in the meantime and any already approved are subject to reevaluation. We also wish to wrap up the "Soul Powers" discussion, as well as a few other things members have been asking about. If you have any questions or anything to add, please feel free to PM a Councilor or even ask here.

Update time!
As some of you know the guild takes a mini-hiatus during the summer months. Don't worry, it's just a time for rest and relaxation. So if inactivity is getting you down, just keep that in mind as the summer months pass. Once school picks back up, things should be just as busy as ever. =) On to other news!


Welcome to the team!
We've been looking for new blood to put in places needed on the mentor and councilor teams. After much deliberation, countless discussions, many tears, and much bloodshed it's been decided that Cyler and Hyu will be joining the mentor team, and Mithos will be making the step up to Councilor! Gratz guys.

The mentor list will be updated soon with the new additions, and alterations made.


MENTEES WHO HAVE NOT COMPLETED MENTORING
You know who you are! Depending on when you joined the guild, you may be booted out if you have not completed your mentoring. If this happens, you will be able to join the guild again but only after you complete the mentoring outside of the guild. If there's any questions, please see the nearest mentor. =)

I think that's it for now.

Hi there guys! I just wanted to update everyone on a few things done.

Character Deaths
Some of you have seen the thread, and have even taken it amongst yourselves to post deaths of characters there. I'm happy to see this converting over in to every day rp very easily. Links to the reporting thread, and the discussion will be posted below. If you have any questions regarding character deaths then please don't hesitate to ask.
Report character deaths here
Discussion here

This may be placed in it's own sub-forum. So be looking out for that!

Spring Cleaning
We're doing our bests to clean the forum up and move un-attended threads in to a recycling bin. If a post is moved that you're interested in reviving or wanting to see, just ask one of us to help you out. =)

Changes to the Forum
You may notice a few changes to the forum to come. What you can look forward to seeing is the Vindictus section being made in to a general Game section that's not limited to just 1 game. An RP Organizations area that will open up as a sub-forum in the Creativity section. A sub-forum for requesting dungeons. Finally, an ideas/request area for general members to let their ideas be heard to everyone …

This thread is designed to bring general information to you the guild member, from us in the council. This will range from various things like future plans to concerns that have been expressed to us. So without further adieu...


Today's Topic: I feel ignored/left out/overlooked

Lately this has been a growing issue with many of our members. Most of which are new and may not feel like they're in the loop as everyone else. First off left me just say that I've been there. I too get this feeling from time to time. It's quite naturally to feel like this especially if you only play one game or hang out with certain people you know. Whatever your reason for feeling this way we in RPS, and yes I mean the entire guild, do not want you to feel this way. Lately I have been hearing of our new players feeling they're being left out or ignored. So you said something in guild chat and didn't get response? Please be aware that a lot of us, council/mentors included, don't always watch the guild chat. It's quite possible we're rping, running a dungeon, didn't see it, or maybe we ninja afked. A good rule of thumb for this is: If you say something in GC give us some time to respond …

Due to Milliteans being a pain in the rear. We decided to improve our guards and jail system. These new jail systems will make it harder to break out. But not impossible, you will most likely not be able to break out alone, unless you are a genious and well prepared. You will not win a firefight against the guards, there is simply too many and they are strong. Don't dismiss guards as idiots who can't fight. These are elite men specifically made to put Milliteans in jail.
Note: If you do break out, and you are unsure if your actions are reasonable, make sure to let a counciler know, so they can review your actions. You might have to disreguard any Rp you might have been in.


Guards now have:
Soul stones: Soul stones are similar to Nao stones, their purpose to is to store a millitean's soul for a short ammount of time. Enough for a guard to take the body and stone to jail. When the soul is return to the body, it's fully healed. The soul stones are only avaliable to ELITE guards (NPC only, only requested for some plot).
-Stat Cuffs and shackles: When you are arrested and/or in Jail you'll be placed -Stat cuff. They lower all stats, making the prisoner weak. The higher your stats …

Yes your council and guild-master have been very busy the last few weeks or more dealing with various issues behind the scenes so that you don't have to.

The following are amendments and updates to various sections of the Guild's rules and guidelines.
Please read them over. Comment if you wish. Constructive criticism or personal insights from the membership is always appreciated and listened to.
We will also take suggestions for anything to be added or taken away or modified from these.

Rule Update - One forum account per person -
There are to be no alternate accounts created on the RP Society's forum.
All Members of the RPS are limited to one active account.
- alternate accounts must be closed by the member or by the moderators if not done in a timely manner
- Failure to comply will result in a loss of all privileges, probation and possible suspension <<== NEW
You may change you account name at any time OR close your old forum account and start a new one BUT only after notifying a moderator/councilor before doing so.

Guideline - We assume there are no floating names -
Despite what a certain girl running a mill says to the contrary, nobody can see those names.

So if your account has not been online for more than 15 weeks then it has been terminated to open up space for new members.
Yes, our membership rolls were just short of the maximum allowed, at 237/250.
The number of active accounts has been trimmed to 137 members who have been active in the last 4 months.


For those of you who play in Offline mode, and I am guilty of this as well, then I apologize but without being online nobody knows you are there.
Please message me after signing back in at the Guild Stone and I will reactivate your membership.

The Guild Stone is on the road out of Tir, just beside the gate, where the wolves are.

Everyone please remember to deposit your Guild points and any spare bits of gold you wish to deposit
..............................................

One amendment to this - I will only be doing this when the rolls reach close to 240/250 registered characters in the guild
