This Sunday, January 15th, at 9pm EST we will be holding a pretty important meeting. All active members will be required to reply to their respective threads (Initiates in the Initiate Chat section, Members in the members section) if they are going to be able to attend or not. Those I see in game after this article has been posted will be expected to reply. Failure to do so will contribute to certain actions taken to the initiates that will be discussed at the meeting itself.

The topics we will be discussing are the following:

Forum Activity: Members are expected to have logged into the site to check recent guild news at least once a week.
Ventrilo Activity: We provide you with a free service for being part of the community. In return we expect our members to be on Ventrilo if they are playing the game.
Current Initiates: We will be giving a due date for all current Initiates to be 50 by. Current Initiates will also remain in that Initiate phase until they hit 50. The exceptions to this will be discussed during the meeting.
Event Schedule: We will begin scheduling guild events for the future. This will include Hard Mode Flashpoints, Operations, PvP activities, and other various guild events.
Crew Skills: We will be getting a tally of who has what Crew Skills. Those with certain crew skills will be asked if they wish being the main "go-to" guy for that specific crew skills (ie. Chadington was offering enhancements and crystals to guild members leveling up last night).
Recruitment Changes: We will be increasing the requirement for new recruits to level 50. We will also be opening up recruitment for Sith Inquisitors with the new level cap requirement.
Current Initiate Voting: Some Initiates will be given member status during this meeting. Most Initiates will continue to remain in the Initiate phase until they hit 50. We will also be removing some Initiates from the program. This process is necessary and we ask, no matter what the decision may be, that you do not take it personally or create any drama.

This meeting will be about 45 minutes to a hour long if things all go according to plan, but may last longer. We will make sure to get to the important topics at a steady pace as to not drag the meeting along. Members and Initiates are welcome to stay and chat after the main part of the meeting has concluded.

Today marks the day of our first level 50s within the guild! I hit level 50 earlier this afternoon and Anif followed shortly after. Congratulations to Anif for this feat and good luck to everyone else leveling. It looks like we have a few others close to reaching this goal as well, Reign is currently level 47 and behind him is Chadington at level 46. Looking forward to knocking out some Hard Mode content soon. I have to say that I am excited and can't wait to start jumping into some Warzones.

Starting today, Tuesday December 27th, we will be adding some requirements to all future applications until a time when another change is necessary. Those new requirements are listed below:

Character Class: Sith Inquistor (Assassin and Sorcerer) recruitment is temporarily closed until other class spots are filled in the community.
Character Level: A level requirement of 20 will be put in effect.

These changes go in effect at 12:01 P.M. EST. Any applications received before this time will still be reviewed under the previous recruitment policy. Applications received after this time period that do not meet the new requirements will be automatically dismissed.
