I've tried several posts and news announcements so one more for those that can't be bothered with reading before applying. So, here is a friendly reminder for those that have extreme ignore-sightedness.

AS STATED ABOVE IN YELLOW TEXT DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE ENTIRE PAGE


When signing up to this site you must use your mains character name, on Misha as your registration name to be verified in game. Not doing so will get your registration deleted.

If your user name is not on our guild roster as your main character, verified in game, or not on the armory it will be de-activated and deleted along with your posts.

That's right guild meeting in Org, next to the portal/mage area, bring your fishing gear but leave your bag space open. Make sure your raiding shoes are clean and plan on a minimum of 2 hours of play after the meeting if you are attending the raid event. Cya guys then

All to-do's done.

Forum/Roster password integration on hold until the mod author of the original product updates.

Navigation Menu in constant update mode. This means links will be added everyday so always check back
--Added "About HDK", "Applying To HDK", and "HDK Videos" (we will no longer be linking to youtube. In my opinion keeping people from making machinima and sharing the videos because of MPAA copyright issues is retarded. Wegame.com will be used instead )

With this heartbreaking announcement the torch has been passed and the guild presses on.


We've known that Oxen and Nestle were making this decision and have been preparing for it. In all honesty even knowing about it I wasn't ready for it.

Dirge, Oxen, and Nestle will all be missed and in no way could Neo or myself ever replace or even hope to be in anyway as good as they were/are at being leaders of a guild.

So. I'm sure there are a lot of questions everyone has. So I will try to shortly sum up some major questions.

Rules: Currently there are no plans to change any of the rules of HDK. We may revise some to be a little more current. We may change one or two after review, but the guild as a whole, it's outlook and charter will remain as is.

Guild Members: No guild member will be asked to leave. No guild member will be asked to stay. We won't chase you down if you want to leave, yet we won't kick anyone out either. HDK in the leaderships opinion is the same, with new faces. Granted there have been a lot of changes with -people- but the rules and outlook and charter have not changed nor will they. Dirge/Oxen/Nestle have instilled in me the desire to keep HDK like it is. A fun atmosphere, open communication, transparent leadership, casual raiding, family oriented, RL>WoW guild. Neo and I both feel this way about what the guild should be and the direction it's going to follow.

Officers/GM: Currently we are down to a leadership of 5 people. Myself/Neo/Caltite/Tragedy/Drauka. We will be losing an officer within two weeks. This will bring our leadership to 4 people. We WILL be looking to fill these ranks. If I remember correctly our new officer core will be 2 gm's 5 officers for a total council size of 7 people. The upcoming loss of one of our officers is not unexpected. We were given notice and have planned according so please do not feel like the guild is falling apart that is not the case. As we move forward and transfer the site and square away things please be rest assured the new leadership will focus on the same things we have in the past. The guilds well being and you as a member having fun.

Website: Our current website will go down sometime next month for 2 days. During this 2 day period the DNS transfer will take place. This is where http://www.ahordedazedknight.com will point to the new site. Once this is done, the URL's will be configured properly to point to the new site and address. SO when it happens, dont worry its part of moving the site

Raiding: There has been talk amongst the officers about revising our raiding rules a bit. This may or may not happen. However no matter what a final decision on this part of the guild will not happen until we have all 7 officers in place. Otherwise, raiding as normal please visit the forums and sign up!

Inactivity: These rules will be revisited as well and a change may be coming. On the new website inactive users will be pruned into an inactive group. We will decide later about how to track and implement this in game. Using this system though will also help determine activity in game. Most of the rule will still apply, but again, these decisions wont be made until all 7 officers are in position.

Dirge/Nestle/Oxen: In the past inactives have been gkicked from the guild on the basis of 1 or 2 months of inactivity for alts/mains respectively. In the case of Dirge/Oxen/Nestle they will not be removed. They will be the exception to this rule and will remain in the guild indefinately.

Communication: In the past we have begged members to be open and communicate with the officers as best they can. That hasnt happened as well as we would like. Well that is going to be one of our major focuses in the future. So i encourage everyone to post or ask or suggest about anything. Anytime.

In closing I'd like to say I don't feel one bit qualified as a GM for the guild. I don't think I could ever replace/fill the shoes of/be as good as Dirge/Oxen/Nestle. I will make a couple of promises to everyone as your new GM though; Ill never lie to you no matter how much it might hurt me to say or hurt you to hear. I will never stop trying to make this a better guild experience for you. I will never give up on HDK as long as I am here in the game.

On that note, I made a video for everyone to see about a month ago.

Enjoy.



These changes and announcements will be made public on the new site for everyone to see. It is important that people know that three of the greatest players to be in the game have left. It's also important that everyone sees that their legacy will not be destroyed or fall apart due to lack of leadership or inactivity.

I proudly carry this torch now for all new members and old members alike. Welcome all to the ever surviving, ongoing, oldest, most respected and well known Misha guild, "A Horde Dazed Knight"
