The One @ WoWKindness.com

Recruiting Open

The One is once again accepting applications for a limited number of new members. If you're a happy, social, and helpful player, especially one who likes to dance, this might the guild for you! While we are not a raiding guild, there are some opportunities for regular raiding available.

So if you're based on Europe's Thunderhorn server and interested in applying, check out our info on joining and submit an application today.

The One is a proud member of The Honourbound Alliance.

Honourbound & WoWKindness Content Moves

The Honourbound pages maintained on The One's WoWKindness wiki and the WoWKindness wiki have moved! In an effort to correct the blank pages being removed, the wiki was completely reinstalled with a brand new Tomcat application server engine as per Atlassian's suggestion. As a consequence, one of the things I could now do was configure a transparent proxy between the Tomcat server and the main Apache server for WoWKindness. In English: No more :8080 in all the wiki addresses!

All the important addresses can be found on the THB Guilds, Representatives, and Web Sites page, but I've summarized our common shortcut addresses here:

Honourbound Information Pages Index: http://www.wowkindness.com/thb/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/thb/)
Honourbound Leader Forum: http://www.wowkindness.com/lthb/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/lthb/)
Honourbound GEM Calendar: http://www.wowkindness.com/calendar/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/calendar/
Honourbound Raid Stats: http://www.wowkindness.com/stats/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/stats/
The One's Wiki/Forum: http://www.wowkindness.com/wiki/ (or http://www.wowkindness.com/confluence)

The links at the top of all pages have been updated (or should be). There may be things here and there that don't work. I'll address those in time. There's a message posted at the original wiki/forum to direct people here.

Recruiting Is Currently Closed

Our Initiate Hall is full! The One is not currently accepting an new candidates for membership. Our reputation on Thunderhorn is spreading far and wide, and we've accepted many new people in the last month. In order to properly assimilate and build our Guild Community, it is necessary to take a breather and work with what we have. A message will be posted here to announce that we are once again accepting initiates for consideration. Thank you for your patience and your interest in promoting Random Acts of Kindness on Thunderhorn with The One!

Recruiting Is Open

The One is pleased to announce that it is once again accepting applications for new candidates to join the guild. Please note, however, that the guild has almost reached its target size of 50 members, after which we will no longer be recruiting in order to keep the small, friendly feel of the guild intact. Happy applying!

Wiki/Dashboard, Forums & THB Leaders Forums Broken

If you're having problems logging in or getting blank pages from the forums, THB Leader Forum, or other parts of the Wiki, it's because there's a technical issue with the caching system for the Wiki. I've filed a support request with Atlassian, the software developer. In the meantime, there's not much I can do about it. I do, however, note that pages refusing to load one minute may load a few minutes later if you attempt to visit them again.

New GEM Release. Everyone Must Update!

There is a new version of the Guild Event Manager (GEM) software that the Honourbound Alliance uses to coordinate shared raid, social, and instance events. The 2.27 release attempts to address the recent lost sends experienced by THB members in both their guild channels and in the shared Honourbound channel, as described in my earlier news posting about New Chat Bug & GEM Problems from October 25th.

The new release attempts to solve the problem by increasing the amount of time GEM must wait between sending messages. Note, these are not the messages you are typing. The mod itself works by sending messages to the Honourbound channel. You don't see these mod messages because your mod filters them out and uses them to update your copy of the GEM events calendar. Due to the way information is shared, it's vitally important that everyone update. People who don't update will still lose information which will result in their copies of the event calendar being wrong and then shared incorrectly with other people, continuing to cause events to disappear or people not to appear signed up, etc.

You can update by downloading a copy from one of the following locations:
- GEM author's home page
- GEM Mod Page on WoWKindness

Update: 2.27 has been replaced by 2.28 as of November 12th.

Honourbound Alliance Downs Ragnaros

Congratulations to those Honourbound Alliance members led by Dezdemona (AKA Tasanala, GM of Illidans Redemption) who successfully downed Ragnaros in Molten Core yesterday along with visiting members of Iron Monkeys and Ye Olde Geezers. That's a long-time coming first the THB. Nice work! Check out the THB's Molten Core Progress page!

Discuss this in the original forum posting on the Wiki.

THB Group/Raid Looting and Participation Rules

As part of the THB's recent raid/group looting rule reform, we agreed to create raiding specification lists for each guild. Inclusion on the list means you've declared to Elsheindra your preferred raiding/group role (healer, tank, caster DPS, etc) and that you've read and agreed to the March 2007 raiding/looting rules so that you understand how that role affects when/where you should be allowed to roll on items in 5-mans and in raids.

]]> The One's THB Role List and Rule Agreement Signup Page. Elsheindra will then add you. Future THB raid event leaders will set you to "spare/substitute" ('S' instead of 'P' for primary) if you do not appear on this list. This is a direct result of looting agreement problems arising out of Molten Core runs last year and has been agreed to by all participating THB guilds.
