High-Guard; Can it still be "Resurrected"?

I am starting this thread to tell you the current situation of High-Guard and ask for your comments and suggestions about this guild's "revival"

High-Guard used to be a prominent guild in Loki, it was a major power in Alde around the 1st - 2nd quarter of 2004, capable of controlling what happens in the Luina agits. Composed of Loki's best during that time, High-Guard was home to a lot of good emp breaker knights. Most of the core members of High-Guard are still pretty much active and can be found in Loki's top guilds ( marami ata sa Genesis, • Retaliation • and Death)

Unfortunately, High-Guard suffered internal problems which caused all of its guilds (Drei, Zwei and Vier) to break. Members were adopted by other prominent guilds during that time.

Soon enough, a knight named Mark Anthony tried to bring back the glory and power of High-Guard. Some of its original members came back to help revive the fallen guild. It also recruited new faces to help with the reconstruction. Some remained loyal but others used High-Guard as a "training ground" and a stepping stone or transfer to a much stronger and famous guild.

I came to this guild around July 2004.. Doing my best to help restore its fame in Loki. High-Guard recruited more strong members, created offensive and defensive extensions, thought of good woe strategies and planned agits attacks. We started sieging in Hot-Agits (sawsawan siege muna!) for practice, hoping that after some time, we can challenge guilds such as Arma, Death, Unholy or even Onslaught in WoE! But that time never came.. We are stuck sieging in payon's center agit! (which was the hottest and suckiest agit in all of midgard!) Treating the emp like a basketball being used by 10 teams in a single court! 5 months of WoE and we're still stuck in the same friggin' agit! =p

We break the emp like 5 or 6 times during siege! (makikita naman lagi lumalabas "High-Guard Occupied Guild Danau Greenwoord") hoping that people would not take our guild for granted and other people will want to join High-Guard and stay loyal.. but Nooooooooooooo!

Question now (this is addressed to all of you)

What is wrong with High-Guard? Bakit di siya ma revive like other guilds?

Leadership?
Do people hate High-Guard?
Is our emblem ugly? o.O

People of Loki! Specially Ex High-Guards! care to give your analysis or opinion?

IMHO, (i'm not going to talk about HG ha.. Loki People in general lang)

You can find the most loyal of members sa mga original members ng guild. Kung sakaling lumipat ng guild yung ibang members, if they spent more time with their new guild than their old one.. mapapamahal na sa kanila ung guild na yun.

Most people are power-hungry or basically they like to stand out and belong. To have the bragging rights of belonging in a strong guild even if they are just in the nth extension. These peole are what i call mercenary members. As long as you feed them, they are loyal to you. So as long as you are a strong guild and can feed them glory that they crave, expect them to be there. But once your strength ebbs, blink goodbye and they're gone.

About seiges and looking for members thru that emp-breaking activity. If you expect members to apply because you have an agit, then don't expect them to be loyal. More often that not, they just want to use you to get into the dungeon or use you as a stepping stone for them to be accepted to a 'much-stronger' guild.

If you want to get mercenary members and hope to transform them into loyal ones, then prove that you can defend your agit. For as long as your agit can be taken away from you, people will not look up and take notice of your guild as a worthy adversary.

Probably harsh words but nevertheless welcome to our reality. The choatic politics of Loki.

...try to manage ur guild well, look for mems that can understand waht ur guild is about and what it s going thru (hard to find in loki now-a-days)...


...if there is one thing that you shud be proud of, its that HG is still standing inspite of not getting/defending an agit...

...for me strong guilds are not defined by the number of agits that they have, but how they rise up when they are falling...

First off, I would like to congratulate Mark Anthony for securing the lower right Pront agit. Galing po, sobrang last minute nabasag super galing timing. Thank you din po sa mga sumugod (is na po Arma). It was very exciting and this is what make you love playing the game. Wala din trash talk this time around so hanga ako sa siege today.

OK, now to address your concern on HG. Honestly, I can't speak about the internal politics of HG since I was never a member. I can say this though: this is where you will see the value of true friendship. True friends are definitely treasures that do not come by often. If you find a true friend, work hard to maintain that friendship because true friends are the most precious resource of all. If you build your organization around friends, I am most definitely sure that you will be a cohesive unit.

I am in no way saying that our organization is perfect without any misunderstanding (even between friends). But this is normal. The advantage of disagreeing with a friend though is that it isn't hard on your part to make adjustments because you know you are doing it for a friend and not just a name in a game. May mga tampuhan din sa amin and I'm sure sa lahat ng samahan. Yun nga lang sa amin, hangan tampuhan lang talaga.

Yun lang po. I wish you find the right composition for your guild and find members with the same views as yours and you really enjoy being with. This way, through thick and thin, mag kakasama kayo ever :D

Yup it is true.. marami nga ganyan sa loki.. ( guild hopping )
we cant deny it pero marami dyan.
all i can say is that make friends.. although napakahirap nun. make full contact with them, make some eye ball , tawanan , inuman. . remember. marami ka ngang mararanasan na mga ka guildmate na aalis after siege. sasali dahil sa dungeon lang . then mawawala parang bula. pero at least mayroong maiiwan sa inyo. yung mga loyal members. from time to time. gaganda rin ang relationship ng mga fellow guildmembers ninyo. dadami din ang loyal sa inyo..

revive your Guild. walang panget sa guild nyo.. d panget emblem d panget members. aus yun..

JUST PLAY THE GAME, HAVE FUN! d to career ok!

@g0dspeed: ask not what the guild can do for you, but what you can do for the guild. Take into consideration that you are joining an existing group/community and they cannot all make adjustments for your needs/wants. I guess you are right in the sense that the guild did not meet your expectations. Good luck in finding your dreamguild.

@High-Guard: wag nawakan ng pag-asa. At least tinan nyo si Mark Anthony bumabasag mag isa. Shouldn't that be enough encouragement to push with resurrecting your guild? Whatever you choose, I am sure you have contemplated thoroughly with it. Good luck din sa decision nyo.

I'll go public on this one for the first time. For those who did not know, High Guard was my first guild ever in LOKI. In fact, i was fortunate enough to be made its very first extension GM, in High Guard Zwei. Things for awhile panned out to be good until....Until when things began to sour in High Guard. In WOE, High Guard began to be beat by Armageddon (which was powerful at that time). All of a sudden, the main GM (alam nyo naman kung sino ito) began telling me things. Stuff like: "I think you're not worth it...." kept filling my PM box.......The rest is history. High Guard will never be the guild it could have been for the simple fact that most of its former players who have achieved a lot in-game are already contented in thier current guilds and have no plans whatsoever to go back.

Oh, and if someone ever tries to dispute my statements, i have three former HG extensions to back my up..... ;)

That said, i sincerely wish High Guard all the luck....

I believe it's the problem of most guilds. It's really hard to have loyal members staying at your guild at hard times. Just like us, most of our old members refuse to come back even though we're back. :/
