At this time, without further ado - I hereby say it is never to earlier to focus on a promising future. I want to take the time to make a couple highlights as we begin to split into 2 variations of Reign. A US and EU Raid core. Regardless, we are still Reign. It will be fun to house our own in guild raid cores competing against one another. As we continue to grow each so do our needs. It is not within my interest to focus on US players only. Reign currently houses EU officers effective to stepping up to the challenge. At this time it will clearly be a progressive state as we start to piece together the puzzles necessary to assemble 2 Raid cores. However, it is important that once this does begin to fall into place, you stick with your assigned raid. I.E. US, EU, Etc.. - It is so we can maintain efficiency and organization for our Raid Leaders. Again, despite all circumstances our main intent is to simply have fun. There is nothing more enjoyable than sitting back and just chatting with you brothers. As we push our first Guild MC this up coming Sunday 3/9, I want to note hoe we will be just under 1 month old. Which means we met our goal. Not only do we have ZG on farm, MC will soon be in the same category. I personally want to thank everyone that has made this a large success, and those whom continue to do so. At this time I strongly ENCOURAGE everyone's input. YOUR voice does matter. I want to start and collecting idea's for officer positions / Raid Leader slots and more. When this begins to get closer we will have meetings with or new Raid Teams Leaders / Officers to go over game plans and what we can do for each other. In the end yes were competing to out do each other, but it is still just a game. It is important everyone works diligently to collect best in slot items and encourage any members of Vanilla not part of Reign - Our intentions. As always there will be plenty more to come. I have also added a poll to see which EU members are simply interested in raiding or assisting in the formation of our own EU Reign Raid! Please select which ever answer fits you best. Sorry U.S. you suck - stay out of our polls!  I am doing the best I can to keep forums updated and full of east info to help get this pain train where it needs to be. Live long and prosper!

I will try to speak to some of our Eu members and see how if i can find some people that would actucally like to raid eu times. Maybe i can also lead the eu raids then because i learned a lot from you guys about the tactics here on server. But the for the next time i will stick to our us raids since i like the persons in there and i raided a lot with you recently.
But all in all its a great idea to do that cause we have many eu members in guild that cant be there on main raid times and they would love to go some raids.

I like the idea of having EU and US raids, but I do not like the idea that everyone should stick only one raid. I, for example, would probably prefer the US time of raiding (because of reasons).
Wouldn't be better if... lets say EU raid is going to MC and they have 36 people in the raid. If there are no other EU people interested, those from US could hoop in. In other words, the EU members would have bigger privilege to go in EU raids than US. And vice-versa.

I like the idea but wouldnt it be hard then with dkp? I mean if i go only EU in lets say 1 month and i will probably do one run with US faction and get dkp for that i can use in eu raid, i think that will be maybe a little bit unfair no? I mean maybe Eu raid is doing 3 bosses per run and Us is doing 7 or sth then i would get an advantage in DKP....just my opinion if you understand what i want to say  |

Yeah obviously its "all in the works" what we would have to do is damn near ask each individual what works best for them. Obviously is VERY hard to make all happy. So although we ARE considering this idea were going to start small. I.E. 20 mans. Its tough but within our best interests to keep as a whole 40 atm. It will be tough but we want to comprise a solid raid schedule. Suitable for all! Just make sure that everyone keeps us up to date!!

After I've talked to Ayanaa in game, I've come up with some ideas of how we could work this out:
1. We would have two raiding groups, one EU and one US, for 20-men raids only.
Since we are not bigger in numbers, everyone would have the opportunity to do a 20-men raid weekly.
2. We would have one raiding group twice per week doing 40-men raids, and each will start from 22:00 to 00:00 server time.
The big problem for the EU raiders is that, if the raid starts in 02:00, it would probably finish AT LEAST in 05:00, which leaves almost no time for sleep, and most of us must go to work/faculty/school the other day.
Since we're not ready to have two raiding groups for 40-men, I think the best solution is to start the 40-men raids earlier. That way, the EU raiders can raid more often, while the US players "sacrifice" themselves to start the raid a bit earlier for their time zone, which I don't think it would be an issue considering it's Sunday. If I'm right, 22:00 in EU means 17:00 in US. By then you should be done with lunch, and after the raid you can have dinner ^_^.
About the second raiding day, I've talked with Ayanaa about it and if I've understood correctly, it can't be Wednesday if we have Sunday.
I still don't know why that is an issue, but hopefully we can do something about it, like calculating the re-set timers for the raids.
I believe the EU players would agree with this for obvious reasons, but I do not know if the US players would be able to do this.
Looking forward for your opinions...

Its not an issue but you have to calculate your Raid days for this. Since Molten core has a Reset Timer about 4 days (dont know how it works corretcly) you have to adjust the second raid day for that. E.g if you raid sundays 22 and the reset timer is about 3 days and 14 hours you need to set the next raid day to like thursday...

I love the concept being employed here gentleman! The ideas are very well placed and I love thought the thought every little bit! What we need to do next is construct a foundation in which we want to expand upon. Regardless the goal here is to disconnect tension or create rifts. IE Guild Tares / Separations. At this point in time I know Zezz has brought up some wonderful points in which we can use as well to help expand participation in this guild. Despite all circumstances, I think this is something without doubt that can be done. I know that Reign has actually become a fairly big deal lately. What helps keep our image strong is the people we have in place to help secure. These individuals such as yourselves included have played a significant role in the expansion of his guild. I personally want to thank you all for making a complete random side goal come true as well obtaining the eye! In the end one thing is clear. I am here for you all like you guys are us! We are gonna work on restructuring the guild over these next couple weeks as we work into BWL more! Gentleman it has been more than a privilege to serve with you all.
Therefore at this point lets make it happen - Heres what Zezz has proposed which I think is a fair Idea - We made a couple revisions but we will make it work. Our goal is to squeeze in 2 additional 20 mans a week. At this point in time I think it is okay if people want to start bringing alts to ZG so long as they dont need MAJOR items over mains! Remember the goal here is to have a raid ready team. I dont know what it is but these guys can play damn well. There is nothing that can stop us! So I am not sure at this point whom you've spoken with but I want to express my support in the manner and let me know if there's any way I can help to get things rolling. At this point we need to find a viable leader whom wants to definitely step and make it a pleasant experience.

I spoke to al lot of members recently who are from the Eu. Most of them are interested in Eu raids but i think i need to set sth up in guild information so the people can see when we are doin an Eu timed raid!!
Ive also spoken with Telk who would help me leading Zg, Aq20 and we both can do the job.
