Xaices of Reverenced Ire Takes the Floor
What does it take to pull together a successful raiding guild before
your game of choice even launches? Xaices, guild leader of Reverenced
Ire, believes his guild experiences in other MMOs has led him to some
answers. He's planning to lead his guild to raiding victory in
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. How will he do it?
[TTH]: As you see it, what are the biggest
challenges of leading a pre-launch guild?
[Xaices]: Involvement! A pre-release guild leader
probably has a more difficult job than that of an in-game GL. Without a
game to be played there is nothing to really build camaraderie and to
keep members active and interested. So how do you keep everyone
interested and active, build camaraderie, and lay the foundations for
teamwork with no game to play? Its difficult; Ill tell you that--Im
still trying to figure that one out.
