Hey there, thank you for taking an interest in this post and I apologize in advance for the wall of text.
So I'll give a brief description of what the guild is about:
I miss the preview, (could have been more or less, I don't really know, but) the 200-300 interactive, polite and trusting players that were involved in the Spiral Knights preview were among THE friendliest that I've ever socialised and played with in a game and I really miss the bond that we all had, maybe not so obvious to others but noticeable in the great community we had going.
Once the public version went live the first week went pretty smoothly, the economy was doing well despite the increased availability and slowly decreasing prices, the players were still friendlier than ever and there was no sign of people taking off with other people mats and crowns from alching (which wasn't really a problem anyway) but most importantly the game was still the Spiral Knights that the preview players knew.
However, after this first week it seems, most of the newbies flooded into the game curious as to what this game is, destroying the market causing the energy prices to shoot up and pounding other prices down to a minimum making otherwise expensive rare 5* materials and recipes cheap and easily attainable. Trojan horseshoes, Flame souls, Shadowsteel and the other 5* mats dropped from roughly 20k to 15 to 10 and carried on plummeting down to a pathetic 5k making most 5* gear available to pretty much, anyone.
Anyway, enough of the some-what irrelevant ranting. If this has been done before then so be it but I've probably just not seen it about.
I wanted to make a guild exclusively available to Preview Players to reconstruct the bond created in the preview. There are currently as of June 30th, 98 places to be taken so there's still a lot of places to be taken up.
So, my instant thought was "How am I going to tell if 'said-player' is a preview player?", well as you can tell by the guild name, all preview players received a set of "Groundbreaker Armour" as a thanks from Three Rings, so prior to being invited into the guild I'll request that you equip your Groundbreaker armour to prove your authenticity as a preview player.
So, if you're interested, (Before you ask, my In-game name is "Razorlined") you're better of leaving me a mail-message (probably best because if a lot of people want to join and swamp me with PMs I might miss your name) or PM (if you can't spare 25 crowns) in SK because I'm not likely to check back here on the forums as often as in-game, make sure to tell me what Haven you're in so I can join and confirm proof of you owning groundbreaker.
That's all folks,
I hope to be able to fill this guild and hope the guild cap is unlocked or raised so we can recruit more preview players!
See you in-game!
Thanks, Lew-Razorlined.
I wouldn't mind joining this guild as I haven't been met with great company in the recent days. What is your ingame name?
