Demoniac is official!
Well, its been just over a week since the guild was created in-game. We're very small still, but you've got to start somewhere. We have so much to do now it almost seems overwhelming. Including myself, we already have four of our officers and have already begun the recruiting process for the others.

I have to apologize for my lack of blog posts as of late. I've been sick and the dayhome has been quite busy. We now have a steady few kids coming each day. Today we have seven kids! Good thing there are two of us. I have been trying to figure out video editing program Sony Vegas with every free minute I get. I'm very thankful for the invention of quiet/nap windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-19895002962990036452010-09-16T12:40:00.004-06:002010-09-16T14:04:52.160-06:00Reach for the stars!
Its good to set goals
Throughout this entire process I've been keeping a "to do list/set of goals." It has helped me stay focused (for the most part) and has pushed me forward. Unfortunately, my process has been slowed down a bit because one of our cats destroyed my mouse. He chewed right through the wiring and the touchpad on my laptop hasn't worked properly since I got the windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-3303731361154437582010-09-11T15:01:00.001-06:002010-09-11T15:02:33.174-06:00Updates
Ch-ch-ch-changes
After reading various blogs, I discovered a problem in the guild structure I have. Having separate alt ranks for Fallen, Drudes, and the Haradrim creates an opening for someone to take advantage of our guild. Someone could look up our guild on our website or in the Armory and see what characters have higher ranks. Then they could make a character and windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-45692109482135362092010-09-08T20:56:00.006-06:002010-09-11T12:25:50.334-06:00Don't judge a book by it's cover
The past few days I've been continually doing research on which realm I'd like to start the guild on. And while I've had some success in narrowing it down, I've also come to the conclusion that there will be idiots on any server I start on. What I consider as idiotic behavior varies from immature character names, bashing each other in trade chat, ignorant and/or improper use of windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-47342940225129573972010-09-05T13:31:00.006-06:002010-09-11T12:25:27.595-06:00What factors come into play when chosing a realm to play on?
In order to decide which realm I'd like to start the guild on I need to answer a few questions first. I've done some research on the web and found various reasons for playing on particular servers. The main reasons people choose the realm they play on are as follows:
They know people who play on said realm, usually being either friends, family, or both.
The server is in the windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-31038339225743002932010-09-04T16:17:00.006-06:002010-09-11T12:31:25.073-06:00What's in a realm?
I've been doing some research and have come to the conclusion that Hydraxis might not be the best realm to start the guild on. Various people on the official forums have said that its not a very good realm for Horde. I also got a trial account to check out the realm first hand. I wasn't impressed. As such, I've been trying to find a new realm where we could start out.&windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-30938380038641226622010-09-02T20:57:00.007-06:002010-09-11T12:24:55.298-06:00Why Demoniac?
I think I need to define what Demoniac means:
Demoniac - [dih-moh-nee-ak, dee-muh-nahy-ak]
1. of, pertaining to, or like a demon; demonic: demoniac laughter.
2. possessed by or as by an evil spirit; raging; frantic.Now, just so you know, I'm not possessed or anything similar. I picked this name because it was original. No other guild in WoW has this name. I also wanted a windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-27938068141632047332010-09-02T20:41:00.008-06:002010-09-11T12:24:29.319-06:00My Vision - Demoniac's Membership Application
Who is Demoniac?
Demoniac is not a hardcore raiding guild. We believe real life comes first before WoW and as such, we understand that people have time restrictions due to real life. In addition to that, we strive to enjoy every aspect of this game. We consider Demoniac to be a social, casual raiding, leveling, and PVP guild. The only aspect of the game we don't really windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-71574416424245285472010-08-30T16:05:00.012-06:002010-09-11T12:32:07.438-06:00My Vision - Demoniac's Officer Recuitment Post
Are you someone that…
a) has an interest in becoming part of a close-knit community and has a desire for tolerance, support, and camaraderie?
b) believes high gear scores and excellent tactics mean nothing without honor and integrity?
c) is tired of just being a number on a raid roster?
d) wants to enjoy the game at your own pace and not be forced to raid?
e) desires the option to raid windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508686096011964665.post-84811085758098274882010-08-27T12:04:00.023-06:002010-09-11T12:23:24.056-06:00My Vision - Demoniac's Ranks & Responsibilites
Fiend
A Fiend is an individual who has applied for membership to the Guild through the required channels, has agreed to abide by the published Guild Policies and been welcomed into the Guild for a trial period during which time the Initiate will be evaluated for compatibility and integrity. Fiends have no obligation to stay with the Guild and may leave at any time.

I will, again, be using the World of Matticus blog's article Build Your Own Guild as a guide to draw from. I'll also be using various guild information to draw from; namely: Chivalry of Eonar, Pendragon of Proudmoore, and Spectrum Rage/Spectrum Blade of Proudmoore. The combination of these three guilds is basically what I'm looking to achieve.

Before I can even begin to form a new guild, I need to evaluate my reasons for doing so. I've been doing a lot of research and as a result, I've come across some very helpful advice and information regarding guilds. I'm using the Build Your Own Guild From the Ground Up articles by Sydera from the World of Matticus blog as a main basis for my building a guild preparation.

Its been almost six months since I've played World of Warcraft. My game card time expired on March 18th, 2010 and I haven't been able to scramble enough money to buy more time. There's been too many bills to pay and a wedding to plan, so the priority for my money spending has obviously not been on WoW.
It honestly doesn't feel like its been almost six months, but the more I read windrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159262498418514784noreply@blogger.com0
