GSotW: Khiel Isha (Week 23)

Bevo · 9th September 2009, 23:37

This week we sit down with Slize from Khiel Isha to discuss more about his guild.

1. When was your guild first established, and was the guild started specifically for Mortal Online or does the guild have an online presence in other games?

Well, we started a few months ago, or rather i should say i started. But i couldn't do all of it without Jissu and Tassu, my first members, people that trusted me. Khiel Isha have very specific background, i tried to fit it in few other games, but it wasn't possible. But MO is different, it seems to be created for my guild background

2. What kind of image do you want your guild to portray? (ie. the most elite, family/friends orientated, end-game pursuit, casual players, etc)

First of all, one of our main guild goals is to create secret village of Veela trible, and authentically feel of it. No outside player will be able to enter or even see village. We are also Light RP guild. Also accepting non RP players.

To add some more, i want this guild to be really organized in terms of fighting, we will develop gorilla tactics of our own, group tactic (2, 3, 4, 5+ members tactics). And most of all: create friendly, mature atmosphere where everyone can have fun.

3. To get a better overview of your guild how would you rate the importance of the follow gaming aspects. (ie. PvP = ***** out of 5 stars)

Oh its a really hard question, since we don't have all the needed info yet. But ill try to do my best.

PvP = *****
PvE = *****
Crafting = ****
Raiding = *
Roleplay = ***

So as you can see, both group hunting, self-organized events for PvE. But also PvP (all the tactic stuff and all), thats why they both 5 stars.Crafting i hit for 4*. We would really like to see dedicated craters in our guild, its gonna bring alot of possibilities to trade/travel/quest together, we think in MO guild without crafted will lost "something". Role play 3*, since we are light RP guild and accept non RP players too. Raiding: 1* Khiel Isha guild background is opposite of Raiding, its rather protecting our home, but i put ne start because if you read about our religion, we'll see we will have reasons to rides too.

4. Are there any short-term and/or long-term goals would you like your guild to achieve?

Ofcorse we have

Short Terms:
1) Khiel Isha is recreating a secret Veela clan with authentical feeling of it
2: Create Friendly and fun atmosphere
3: To give protection for all our members

Long Term:

1: Create an organized units for PvE and PvP with a lot of tactical thinking, including voice chat an self made events.

2:We also want to take it further and create a union with a few forest elf guilds once we know our server. We want to set a few guilds in one forest, each guild will remain their individuality, however we will share some of our goals: protect border of a forest from intruders, and if possible worship one god, the forest itself so we will have head start with our god, possibly making him enter pantheon a lot faster. In same time separate guild will have their own background rituals.
Also keep borders of our forest from ANY intruders(ask to leave blue players and kill red/grey players anywere n forest) and control forest resources allowing only choose allies to use of them.

If we get other guild to cooperate, and be able to do so, imagine other player fear when he enters our forest, there will be tales about "deadly forest where elves dwell" among other players. how cool is that?

And yes, i know point 2 is very hard to realize, as for now theres no other Veela guild out there. But we have to wait for server opening.

5. How is your guild structured? (ie. Ranks, Special Groups, etc)

Basicallyyou can explain it like this: image:

Our leader is Arahain. The Arahain is just like every other guild member but in case of danger the Arahain will give orders that have to be obey. Also in solving any guild matters (we do it by voting) Arahains vote count for 6 people.

Our rank system consists from four different partitions.
Waywatchers being archers
Sentinels being warriors
Spellweavers being mages
Craftmasters being crafters

Every month our guild votes for the best waywatcher, sentinel, spellweaver and craftermaster.
The best waywatcher get the title of Sethayla
The best sentinel get the title of Sehenlu
The best spellweaver get the title of Nymraif
The best craftermaster get the title of Haroith

These four shall be called Wild Hunters. In voting, single Wild Hunter vote count for 3 people.

6. What is your guild's stance/policy on PK and griefing?

We mind our own business. Khiel Isha is not PK nor Lawful, our only business is to keep our village safe. But its true that when we see Blue player near village, we will warn him and ask to leave, but red/gray players spotted too close to village, will end up in raising silent alarm and setting up ambush if its necessary.

7. Does your guild encourage roleplaying, and if so what level of RP is required?

Khiel Isha is Light RP guild, we accept non RP players, but only RP player can become emissary, we also encourage all players to RP in contact with "outside" guilds, players etc. If it comes to RP in 24/7 basis, we don't force anyone to do that, no one will have to RP in chat log all the time. If they want it, and someone catch it up, its cool.

8. Is your guild currently recruiting? If so, how can players apply to your guild?

Yes, but we are recruiting only Veela or Half Veela(one of parents have to be full Veela) blood, half Veela however will have to take up a test and a trial, to see if they are accepted by the forest itself. I keep details in secret
We also snipe out for any dedicated Crafters.
Our Forums should be up in Thursday, where everyone can apply. There is a direct link in MO Forums Khiel Isha recruitment thread.

9. What are you looking for in a potential member?

Maturity
Since of humor
Group cooperation skills.

We don't want any Rambos here.
and some dedication to the guild. We looking for players that can dedicate themselves to guild, this way we can avoid members leaving after each conflict inside guild, and we all know all guilds have to deal with this.

10. How many active members does your guild have and approximately how many of those members are interested in MO?

We have 9 100% confirmed members, they gonna play mo for sure. We plan to extend it to about 20 before game relese. Don't forget we have only 1 month

11. Does your guild have a member cap? If so, how many members would you like to see in the guild eventually?

We didn't think about it yet, we are single blood guild so probably we wont get as many members as other guilds. But when i think about it now, 35 sounds good for guild like ours, so we can still get organization, its hard in greater numbers.

12. What is the average age of your members?

Hmm id say they all act mature. I don't even know all my guild members age details. If they want to tell me, they will It really doesn't matter for us, the age i mean, but maturity we demand.

13. What excites your guild the most about Mortal Online?

haha you have to ask them personally, i often talked with friends about game we would like to create, we talked about features, background etc. and guess what? oOur game look like MO

14. Is your guild currently playing any other MMO's or games while you wait for MO?

Nope ,guild background don't suit many games, we are fully MO guild, but all of us are experienced MMO players.

15. What types of communication does your guild provide to enhance interaction between members of your guild both in and out of the game?

Ventrillo/Teamspeak. Also forums. And someday maybe real-life meeting? (i used to do that with my old guild from RO, it was awesome, totally different play after first meeting)

16. Tell us a little about your gaming experience and your role as a guild leader?

Well, i don't like to call myself guild leader, rather guild founder, but our guild background is rather democratic, means everyone have something to say. We choose Guild leader(Arahain) every month (yes he changes every month, members vote every month to elect one), and also guild "captains" (Wild Riders), four of them to be exact, one from each root of our kindred.

17. What are your secrets to keeping everyone in the guild motivated and working as a team?

It wouldn't be a secret if i tell you right? I bet for my experience rather, i was guild leader for 2.5 year in Ragnarock Online, we had awesome time out there, and also our guild was strongest (but not biggest) on server

18. Does your guild have a website? For those that have never visited your site, please introduce it to us.

Currently our home is on GuildPortal sites, we plan to move it as soon as i have time to finish website. But we have separate forums, which is more than enough if you ask me. I invite everyone to visit our website and read what we have created. Links to forums and website can be found on MOFO in our recruitment section.
Hey and dont forget to rate it up if you like it!

19. What do you think separates your guild and makes it standout from all the other Mortal Online guilds?

Hard to say, there is many awesome guilds out there i like, i must say i would join them, but they dont accept Veela, so i had to create my own Erden Trible, Wolfshed Vikings, and Kindred Rising are among my favorites,but its probably matter of taste. But yea, our guild background is more than "hanging out with other people and do stuff together" guild. Interested? I'm not gonna say anything here, check out our website

20. Finally, if you were banished to live in a cave for the rest of your life, what three things would you bring with you?

Woman, lotsa beer and magnesium so i can climb (climbing is my passion for 7 years now)

Thank you and peace!

Bevo · 10th September 2009, 12:20

Not sure if people read them, but they all do get a few hounded views.

But mostly I do them for the +reps to help negate all the neg reps I get in all my other postings.
