My guild just hit 100... the little *ding!* was kind of gratifying... but its not something we talk about.... mainly because I'm the only active member IN the guild   Cheesy



I have my guild of one player too. And I always remind myself I'm the most talented and uber player in the guild.
We're still 47 though :p

Your guild has been level 200 for years.  I doubt it is something you guys talk about.  Ever.  But to a lot of guilds lower in the list, guild renown and level growth is still a topic of conversation.  Just not one that you might be experiencing in the channels you are in and the crowd you run with. 


yeah but lava divers doesn't care if homeboys of stormreach gain another level, the most guild levels are talked about are in guild or a vaguely curious "oh hey X guild leveled up to 150...who the fuck are they again? oh well now i'm stuck with a stupid fuckin icon on my screen till i log"

I don't usually have to check Fran's list to know my own guild level.

Not only that, but since the list only shows guilds that are level 140+ none of the guilds that are at a size to really push for guild levels get any benefit out of it, no matter how slight, anyway. The ONLY use it has is to let a new player help decide which mass recruit guild to stalk.

You've heard of MyDDO right?


MyDDO depended on an API. You getting mail is a totally other way. Kind of stone-age. But it would work.

And why did you do that video again?

why is this information even relevant to anyone that Fran is collecting?

The devs can get this information in about 5 seconds with a quick query on their own databases, so he's not helping the devs/Cordo out. (type jokes here about how the devs probably can't write a simple Select query).

they dont have the time or inclination. that staff is too undermanned, too lazy, and has tons of bugs and actual problems to deal with. Far easier to let fran keep and compile notes for them for a few tp.

Except that lots of guilds in the list ( at least on G-land ) are not mass recruit guilds. but that's a detail.

Pretty much this in its entirety.. If hes only going to track the guilds exceeding 140, why even bother? Those guilds likely dont care at that point what level they are, as does no one else.. 100+ would be more beneficial for new peoples than the current list..

The original guild leader of Band of Gypsys still logs in. I think he may be offended if the current guild leader changes the name. Its been the same for about a decade. Get over it. Grow the fuck up. Oh and fran wipe cordo's cum of your face. Not a pretty sight.

Heaven knows that not offending anyone is priority one around here.

It's more that the current guild leader gives no fucks about frantard being butthurt about the guild name and isn't going to spend the points to change it.

There's no point tracking guilds over level 150 until SSG adds new airship amenities that require a higher guild level.  Only misguided players base guild epeen on level.

While this is true. A higher guild level does typically represent more active playing time. That and also finishing things faster

Those wouldn't be jokes; they'd be explanations of why your joke was so funny ... which I guess is what you're asking for....

So here, I went ahead and highlighted the words that made me lol. "Own" also deserves a shoutout, but its humor is ironic and less out-loud-laughy.

I understand it's fun to make fun of the devs in that they are so incompetent but in this case Fran is just wasting his time thinking he's doing something useful.

Much like every time he rolls a character and can't figure out how to push 2 keys on the keyboard at the same time.

The original guild leader simply mispelt the word Gypsies. It was pointed out to him shortly after, and 0 fucks were given. 

We (myself and the current guild leader) actually had a conversation about changing the name to correct it once.  I seem to recall it went along the lines of "Have we ever looked into changing it?"  "Yea, but who cares?"  "Good point."

If you check the officer's chest on the guild ship you will find some random loot, a shit-ton of filligrees, and 0 fucks concerning the spelling of the guild name. 

Fran, a person who doesn't seem to bother playing the game, and has no interactions with the guild in question, seems to be the only person bothered by the word Gypsys.  That alone would be sufficient motivation to leave the name as it is.

I don't have a problem with the word "Gypsy" but others do incl. the British Police!

You might laugh but the capitalisation and Grocer's {Butcher's if you prefer} Apostrophe really do get on my nerves every time I see that guildname!

Yeah, but curly brackets and exclamation marks are fine. How much self awareness do you actually lack? Jesus, Fran.....
