Hail to all members of the Valar Guild!
It is I, Eonwë, and it is time once again for the Games Site
Mass-Update! This is the time of year where I wipe the gaming
information off the Games Site and ask you to send in your newest
gaming information. Why? So that you, the members of the Valar
Guild,
have the latest information on finding other members who like
playing
the games you play!
So, what kind of information am I looking for? Simply the following:
1.) What games do you play online that you'd like to be able to find
other Valar Guild members in? Lord of the Rings Online? World of
Warcraft? StarCraft 2? Diablo 3? Star Wars: The Old Republic?
Destiny?
2.) What server and what name can you be found on by members
looking to game with you?
3.) Responses to be made by September 30th, 2015.
Even if you don't have time for gaming right now, it helps to
respond
and let us know that, so that we know you're still interested in
membership in the Valar Guild.
Some games we do have official Guild Branches in, so if you're
looking
to get with members on the following games, here is where you can
find
us, who is managing our branch, and a little bit about what's
going on in the game right now:
Lord of the Rings Online
------------------------------
----
Server: Landroval
Kin Name: Valar Guild
Kin Leader: Varda
Our current busiest game for the last couple of years. Some
servers are
being shut down, others upgraded. Landroval is not one of the
servers
getting shut down, so this is a good time for scouting and
recruiting.
Curious how to do that? Go over our Recruiting Handbook at: http://valarguild.org/varda/guild/recruit.html
and
contact Varda (general contact for all things
guild-related) for details.
World of Warcraft
----------------------------------
Primary Server: Lothar (US, Alliance)
Guild Name: Valar Guild
Guildmaster: Eonwë
Secondary Server: Uldaman (US, Horde)
Guild Name: Valar Guild
Guildmaster: Eonwë
Most members are on Lothar. Uldaman is there for those who also
want to
enjoy the Horde experience. The current expansion is winding down.
A
new expansion is coming: Legion.
StarCraft 2
------------------------------
----
Clan Name: Valar
Group Name: Valar Guild
Server: Americas
Leader: Eonwë
Blizzard has set up Groups as the social organization,
allowing players to be members of multiple Groups, and
Clans as
the competitive organization, allowing players to be members of
only
one. All members are encouraged to at least be a member of the
Group so
you can find others who play StarCraft 2 and maybe cross paths
and get
a few games in, and if you also want to climb the ladders
with the
Guild tag on your name, you can join the Clan.
The StarCraft 2 Expansion, Legacy of the Void, is coming.
Diablo 3
----------------------------------
Group Name: The Valar Guild
Server: Americas
Leader: Varda
Season 4 is going right now.
Star Wars: The Old
Republic
------------------------------------------------------
Server: The Ebon Hawk
Guildmaster: Sauron
A new expansion, Knights of the Fallen Empire, is coming October
27th.
So, let's say you've sent in your gaming information. How can
you see
who else is playing the same games as you? Simple! Just go to www.valarguild.org/eonwe
and you'll arrive at the Valar Guild Games Site. There you can
see the
latest gaming news that I can get my hands on for the games we
play. If
you'd like to help me keep up on information in the games you
play and
think other members would be interested in, feel free to e-mail
that
information to me (and a link to that game's website to be added
to the
list of gaming links).
By clicking on "Member Games" you'll see a list of what games
we're
currently playing (updated as the Games Site information is
updated),
or by clicking on the "Member Games Listing" in the
submenu, you
can see a list of members by Honor, so you can see who is
playing
what and who can test new members if you're scouting. You
can go
here to make sure your gaming information is correct and
up-to-date.
You can also see other things on the Games Site, including game
reviews
by members, information on games we play and have played , and
information on guild branches. Member contributions to the Games
Site
in the form of your reviews on games you've played, information
and
tips for games, etc. are always welcome :}
How can you get together with members who play the games you
play?
Well, aside from being a member in our guild branches where they
exist
:} you can use our Valar Guild Forum (located at: http://valarguild.proboards.com/)
to get with members. Remember to use your Guild Name as your
display
name if you're not already doing so.
You can also come to the weekly meetings, held on AIM every Sunday
at 5:00pm US Eastern Time (official
Valar time
zone), channel Valar Guild Meetingplace. Again, please use your
Guild
Name as your display name if possible so we can recognize you.
If you
don't know how to get in on your own, you can request an invite
from
Varda at VardaValar1. AIM can also be used to get together in
real time
outside of meetings. (it also wouldn't hurt to e-mail Varda your
AIM
name for the Membership listing).
Can't come to meetings? You can still keep up on Valar Guild
News by
visiting the News Page at: http://valarguild.org/varda/guild/news.html.
Now, gaming is fun of course, but it's not all we do!
That forum I was mentioning earlier is also quite useful for
discussing
the other thing we all have in common: Tolkien! Funny how that
works
out, eh? :}
But that's not all! Do you enjoy art? Poetry, writing, or
research? Our Tolkien Site (found at: http://valarguild.org/varda/Tolkien/encyc/frames/Tsitefrms.htm) is
where
you'll find contributions by members in the form of articles and
papers for our Tolkien Encyclopedia, as well sections
for poetry,
stories, art, and more! Contact Varda at varda.elentari@gmail.com for
more
information.
Please send in your updated gaming info by September
30th, and don't forget to check out all the
fun stuff at
the guild website; www.valarguild.org
gets you to the front door!
Take care all, and may the stars shine upon your faces!
Eonwë-(Valar)
