Leadership MIA… and “The Plan”
The game has only been out for three weeks so far, yet it already feels like SO much has taken place. Hi all, for those who don’t know me, I am MetaCosm, the leader of Ordo Familia. Now, some of you might not know me, and that is understandable because I haven’t been able to get much play time lately. 
The game came at a weird time for me. The game came out and I was hit with a fun triple play, plus some:
- Death in the family, right after game release, took a little over a week to handle.
- Planned business trip (a couple days)
- Planned weekend vacation (a few more days)
Combine those three things eating up a bunch of time, with the fact that I work for an politically related company. We only have a busy season like this every 4 years or so… I have been working 14 hour days most days. Life would have been a lot easier if the game had come out on November 5th.
I love the game, and will be around in the long-term, just having a short-term setback right now, I hope you all understand.
Anyway, I have been trying to sneak what time I can setting up some websites, and trying to be useful.
So, there have been lots of questions happening online that my officers have been unable to answer — well, I want to grab all those questions and redirect them to the forum entry releated to this post. If someone asks you a question online, point them to this frontpage / forum post, and tell them to ask it there, I will be monitoring and answering it.
Let me start with some of the questions people already have had…
When will we start doing regularly scheduled guild events? I am thinking, we will start with serious T3 / T4 events the week of the 20th. So get your little toons up to T3 / T4 as fast as you can! We will be scheduling stuff for Wednesday / Sunday initially.
Who are Results May Vary? They are our first ally, and Olivander often leads keep raids that we are involved in right now. Consider a call from him like a call from me, show up and help!
What about players who are not active on forums and ventrilo? They will be removed, using both Ventrilo and our forums is a keystone to being in this guild.
How big is Ordo going to get? We are going to attempting to maintain about 100 players. Not 100 toons, but 100 players… non-active players will be getting cleared out this week, so post on the forums and say hi.
Are we going to keep alts in guild? That has been our tradition, even if it hurts our “renown per member” numbers and other metrics, we like to be able to talk to each other. Currently, it is nearly impossible to manage alts due to lack of a “notes” feature, so we might be temporarly removing alts from the guild.
Are we recruiting? As we start to stablize we will be pushing people out and bringing new people in. The players we bring in now will have to already be in T3 or T4. We will no longer be accepting T1 / T2 players.
… Please ask more questions in the thread so I can answer them, and direct other players to read the thread and respond to it, thanks!

Amusing Take on WoTLK
Amusing Take on WoTLK: http://syncaine.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/blizzards-new-focus-for-wow-just-as-soon-as-mythic-fi
Blizzard, being the inventive genius shop that they are, have some rather revolutionary ideas in the works. Hold on to your hats, this could change EVERYTHING! I’ve gone ahead and edited a recent Bliz post, as they must have been in a hurry and forgot some key details. The ‘missing’ text is in bold.
Actually, we have been discussing new battlegrounds quite a bit lately. (since WAR sold so well and it seems this wacky idea of PvP might actually work, despite our best efforts to force everyone to grind raids) Wrath of the Lich King will feature Strand of the Ancients (attack/defend) as well as Wintergrasp (non-instanced, world PvP) (Which is not a BG, but we wanted to mention it during our talk of BGs. We realize this means we are adding exactly one new BG, just like we did with TBC, but we have not had enough time to play the upper tiers of WAR yet to see what we will do for our BGs, give us time. Our version of RvR will also likely be a pointless token grind, but hey… open PvP…)

Post Your RvR Screenshots!
This one’s not that interesting, but it’s all I have so far. Last night a group made up of Ordo Familia, Results May Vary, and Lunchbox Bandits engaged in a pitched battle outside a T3 warcamp. We were outnumbered of course, but didn’t do too badly and had a great time. We can’t wait to see more people fighting in the wilds of the Tier 3 zones. If you have a nifty screenshot (something better than this, hopefully!) of some hot RvR action, send it on the Huffledoom or Metacosm, and we’ll get it up here for all the world to see.

PvE Hotness
Malacath captures some of the magic of PvE in Warhammer. Also, he posted the 1.01 patch notes.

Announcing: bretonniaorder.com
http://bretonniaorder.com/ — Is an experiment I am trying… Unlike in WOW, where we very much kept to
ourselves, WAR will be very different. Order is vastly outnumbered, and we are going to need to focus on inter-guild teamwork… meet, greet, and work together. This means sharing power, and trying to get all the guilds on the Order Side working together well.
In order to help that goal, I have thrown up a multi-guild ventrilo server that will have administrators from other guilds on it, it won’t be our server, it will be Orders server. This will be an adaptation I am certain for many of you, but lets give it a shot, and see how it works out.

X-Play Review of Warhammer
5 out of 5. The video implies a lack of PvE — which I believe (hope) will end up being a bit of an incorrect assumption, but we will see.
