Star Wars ToR: Prelaunch guild program

[Gralamin]

People can start signing up for guilds (http://www.swtor.com/guilds) now in ToR. There are some restrictions to this program in this prelaunch phase (One notable one is one per account, but ONLY before the game launches), however I think it would be worth starting organizing now.

What is needed for a guild: A leader, 4 people in it that will preorder ToR, a name, a Faction (Empire / Republic), and a choice between PvE, PvP, and RP server preference.

In addition, guilds will be able to put others as friends / enemies.

I purpose the following to get the ball started:
We need people who can commit to preordering ToR. (at least 8, preferably)
These people should state if they prefer empire or republic, and should rank server types from 1 ("Most favored"), to 3 ("Least favored").

We also need name ideas, first two I will throw out:
Sith in the Playground<PvE/PvP/RP>
Jedi in the Playground<PvE/PvP/RP>
Though these names may be unfair to non Jedi/Sith characters.

And for ease, a nice simple way to display a preorder commit:
Preorder Commit
Account Name: <account name>
Faction Preference: <Empire / Republic>
Server Preference:
PvE //rearrange these, so highest preference is at top.
RP
PvP

Code for it:

Preorder Commit
Account Name: <account name>
Faction Preference: <Empire / Republic>
Server Preference:
PvE //rearrange these, so highest preference is at top.
RP
PvP

Faction Preference: Empire
Server Preference:

Cross-pollinating. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190422)

Also, I kinda like "Dark Side of the Playground" (a triple reference :smallcool:) or "Playground Empire" for Sith-aligned guilds.

For the name Philistine's idea of Playground Empire sounds good :smallsmile:

My thread is first... and more structured. I think we should use it. :smallcool:

I'll throw in a third like for Playground Empire, and I'll keep a running tally of names in this post then:

{table=head]Possible Names|"Likes"
Sith in the Playground<PvE/PvP/RP>|1
Jedi in the Playground<PvE/PvP/RP>|1
Playground Empire|3
Dark Side of the Playground|2

I'm putting my vote in for dark side of the playground. I absolutely will play this game but don't have any info torwards my account as there are multiple people in my family that might use the account. Most likely I will join after the game starts
My vote for server 1. PvE
2. Rp
3. Pvp( i am horrible in ever pvp in all mmorpgs there are!
Btw I will absolutely be going for the empire so really hoping this isn't a good republic guild.

If I do play this, it will most likely be PvE so I can avoid the plot-holes like the plague.

Also, Empire all the way for me.

Preorder Commit Wait, do we know what the cost is, yet? I'll probably preorder, but I may not, depending on how cost turns out.

Updated between homework. Sadly few people seem interested at this point.

I feel it my duty, even if I am probably not getting this game, to point out that the Republic has Commander Shepard on its side, and is therefore operating at a massive advantage.

Just, you know, something to factor into the math.

Making my preorder commitment official.


However, I think we ought to create two guilds, each enemies of the other;

A "Playground Republic" and "Empire of the Playground" Or something.


While I would prefer to get an RP server, a PvE server would be fine, since I suspect this will mostly be a social network/find a group thing, sort of like what the GITP steam group is.

That was my assumption as well, thus wanting about 8 people.
