Three Become One

Two days ago, Swarley and Ziyal spoke with me to let me know they were going to be taking a break from the Empire to roll some low level Republic on another server, and play more casually perhaps until some new content came out. We have a great deal of respect for one another and worked together to decide that Infest and I would carry on with the guild to continue doing activities with those who were interested.

Merely a week after joining Via Tyrannum, I found myself switching everyone back to Sin in a gambit to preserve authority and a sense of purpose and direction. It's not what anyone expected or planned, but I believe it could work out for the best.

Today a few people rightfully came to me with some concerns about the status of the guilds. I did mean to give it more time and had planned to but things were looking grim and I do apologize for the abruptness of these changes.

I would especially ask for those Praetorian Guards and Legionnaires of Via Tyrannum to give Sin, and myself and the others, a chance. I know that these kind of changes can seem like a hassle if not downright exhausting, but I believe the rapport I found with the officers of VT we had seem something worthwhile in one another, and I would be honored if you would try things with us and see how they go.



Some folks from Sin and VT said to me, and others were feeling and I'm sure would feel as time went on, that Via Tyrannum would be a hollow reflection its true self without the officers and raid leadership who lead them to glory and victory.

So out of respect to those leaders and in recognition of their well earned sabbatical our membership required that I make a bold move. Other members rightfully felt that they had not been involved and had as much time to get to know everyone in terms of the "cliquey" type of atmosphere that can occur with these size raids.

So last night we moved to Sin, with an all new ranking system that takes a page out of VT's playbook - and Lirof/Leira, the guildmaster of Legacy of the Fallen, is also joining sin with his members as my co-guildmaster. With this fresh infusion of lifeblood from Sin, Via Tyrannum, and Legacy of the Fallen, we will have enough folks to run raids any time are needed, and their will be many new people to meet and play with in PvE and PvP.

I am pleased to say that last night Infest, Aleesi and I were able to take a group of folks who for many was their first time raiding and venturing into EV and cleared everything up to Soa. The ventrilo will remain up at all times for anyone to use.

And as always, if anyone has any questions, doubts, concerns, or disagreement with me, or feels like they haven't been heard or need a chance to do something else in the guild - send me an in game mail, whisper me, or hop on Ventrilo. I will be more than happy to help you or discuss challenges as needed.

It is my hope that the majority of folks who do wish to continue playing SWTOR on Ven Zallow Empire will join us in Sin and the exciting new group of players we are forming.

Peace is a Lie,
Zode
