Hey guys, Happy 1st of March.
It's been a while since I did a status update for the team, so here's our monthly newsfeed and updates.
1. Transition from Guild to Team, Plan Sucksexful
As most of you should know, WTP is no longer Guild WeTheProud, but Team WeTheProud. Despite the e-peen level up and useless community name change, this is to prioritize our goals from a guild to a team.
This means the following changes should and will continue to occur in the future:
A. Team members will be limited. Slots will no longer be open for just anyone, we'll require interviews
B. Numbers are inflated and should be kept at a minimum. In our previous management strategies, we learned a very hard lesson that big numbers are never good, unless you have the proper resources to handle it. For the most part, and about 90% of the time, this is still a difficult task to pull off. Thus, our numbers will be kept at a minimum (Nexon's max is 200 per guild)
C. Activity. A lot of our members have retired and moved on to other games, life issues, school, etc. In reference to B, this means that team members should expect online numbers to be low (5-10 a day).
Note that although there are few members online, we're choosing quality of players over quantity.
D. Leadership. I've already announced my retirement, but this does not mean I will abandon my leadership. Despite my constant annoyance and 10 year old sexual sexting, I will still maintain my leadership abilities and establish the fundamental team goals and policies.
2. Events
We haven't done team-related events in ages, but this is due to the fact that we've practically used and executed every single event idea out there. Rather than planning for events, I believe it would be more strategical to focus on our team's main goal.
3. Skype/Steam
This is a message forwarded to new Team members that read this blog message. Our main means of communication is Skype and Steam, you can find old members as well as Zokku in Skype/Steam.
4. Season 2 Episode 2
The recent sudden changes by Nexon proves that Korean management has officially taken over or at least focused on some heavy changes for Vindictus NA (Front page, tons of events, server migration, ninja patches etc.)
However, due to the sudden influx of events, it's very disappointing to predict that Season 2 Episode 2 will not be released in March. Wait until April guys.
5. Team Goals
Our transition to Guild to Team means one thing. We're going to focus on the quality of the game, along with team members who can appreciate its quality, while establishing a fundamental core of raiding, trading, game discussions, etc. Before, our main goal was to create a large community in order to have tons of guild-related activities open, but this was extremely hectic and immediately followed up with terrible consequences. As a result, we're going to try a different approach, where we're going to establish a smaller community and create some form of a "Kickback" community. Just play the game and have fun, that's all. In other words, we're going to rely on Nexon for the events, not the team.
6. Admins
Many of you have already requested to become Administrator for the team. Let me say now that Administrators are completely unnecessary in our new team changes. If you read the following above, you should know precisely why admins are completely unnecessary. However, if this is in regards to aiding with recruiting, then by all means, message Zokku for this response. Currently, Vic is the only active admin.
7. Blogspot Changes
Seeing as how Skype and Steam are more readily used by the Team, I've decided to remove Scribblar. Although it has its practical purposes, it simply wastes too much space on the blogspot. I will still have the link available to the right tool side, but generally, Scribblar is an unnecessary tool we no longer use.

Tell me how you like the thematic changes as well :)
