The Honourbound Alliance & GEM
Your officers have been busy forging cross-guild alliances again. As mentioned on February 5th, 2005, the One is a purposefully small guild, to help maintain and promote friendships and good times amongst all members. That does make it somewhat difficult to go on end-game runs. As a result, we're now part of cross-guild alliance known as the Honourbound Alliance.
At the moment, the Honourbound Alliance is made up of a combination of social guilds, like the Roses of Dawn, and smaller guilds who don't wish to become large. I'm not completely sure of the exact guild list, but I know the following guilds are currently involved:
The primary organizer, so far, is Cloista (L60 Rogue, Roses of Dawn). There's supposed to eventually be a web site for the Honourbound Alliance. We'll let you know when that happens.
In the meantime, cross-guild events in the Honourbound Alliance, are being coordinated through the use of GEM, the Guild Event Manager add-on. This add-on allows us to create events easily which can be seen by all subscribed Honourbound Alliance members and subscribe to such events. The theory is supposed to be that large raids should always be cross-guild, with sign-up on a first-come, first-served basis, dependent only on classes required. However, GEM can also be used for creating smaller guild-only events for 5-man instances. Our GEM info page has a link to download the latest version of the mod, plus instructions on how to configure it properly (with pictures). As some of the information is restricted (channel name/password), please be sure to login first . The channel name/password are also in our "Guild Info Panel" in the game. If you have any questions, add a comment to the bottom of the GEM info page or ask on the Guild Channel. Everyone should install GEM.
In addition to GEM, we also share a cross-guild chat channel. It uses the same channel name and password as the GEM add-on. You can use this channel to talk to other cross-guild participants or to round up some additional help for some adventure. If you don't have the GEM add-on installed and join the channel using "/join ChanName ChanPassword", you will see general chit-chat but also, unfortunately, the GEM add-on talking to itself as it shares information.
