Imperium

Future So Bright, We've Gotta Wear Shades

posted Feb 27, 12

Wow. Just wow. Imperium, you guys are doing amazing. Every single one of you should be incredibly proud of how far we've come. Proving the whole way that doing things the FUN way is the best way.

PvE: We've downed Nightmare Karagga, we've downed all of Nightmare Eternity Vault with the exception of Soa. We've done 16 man EV, we've done 16 Karagga. We are steamrolling it all.

PvP: Our premades are running almost constantly, and losing is a rarity. But regardless of the result of the match, nothing but great things are said about our players. We keep it cool, we aren't dicks, or elitiest, and we do our best to use teamwork with PuG members to make it a fun game for everyone. THAT'S something to be proud of.

Attitude: The Imperium attitude is what we're based on, and as far as I've seen, it's being stuck to by everyone. How cool is that? We're progressing in every area at an amazing rate, and being friendly, fun people while we're doing it!

"Ex Tripidum Imperium"

That's our motto, 'From Fun, Comes Power', and we're living up to it amazingly. Let's keep it up.

Now on to the new stuff. We've got a TON in the works.

This Site: You have probably already noticed the first of many improvements to the site and forums. More are coming.

Raid Scheduling: Not only are we going to be using the event calender on here more, but I'm currently working on a project that would give AMAZING coordination and scheduling for things like this. (It's technically designed for employers to be able to manage availability, get shifts covered, send out schedules, etc) The amount of flexibility we're going to have should be incredible.

Damage/Threat/Heal Meters: They are up and running, two weeks of useful data has been mined. Interested in testing out a spec/rotation/ideas? Imperium Members; Go here

Events: Our PvP Battle Royale with Templar Order, Armada, and Asylum was a blast, I'm working on making more of that happen.

Mumble: Increasing mumble use rate is something I'm constantly working on. As it is we are usually sitting around 20-30+ people in mumble during peak times! We're gaining more functionality as well, with two channels that you can listen to music in while still talking with the people in Lobby(And they don't hear the music).

New 50s: We have a whole 'generation' of guild members hitting 50, and starting to gear up, so the ability to find people is dramatically increasing.

Rage: Jothay's project to evolve his work on the Rawr project from WoW to SWTOR is picking up speed. Imperium Members; Go here for updates and to offer help.

Thing is, there is a ton I'm forgetting. And there is a ton we haven't even started on. Probably because we don't know of it yet! So we now have a suggestions forum, drop in and make a suggestion, I want to hear it!

Let's do this!

So here's a bit about myself and <Imperium>

About The GM: I believe the attitude of the GM is one of the most important parts of a guild's foundation, their ideals are reflected in the people recruited. I made Imperium with one goal. To surround myself with people that make playing the game fun while still progressing. As a former Main Tank and Raid Leader for a progression guild in another MMO(I bet you can guess) I know the thrill of progressing through new end game content. I also know that it's worthless to me if I'm not having fun with the people I'm running with. I love doing everything I can to be the best at my class, working our gear-theory and rotation optimization, but I also love dropping threat onto a cocky DPSer in good fun. I'm a social person that loves to laugh and joke, and never takes the game TOO seriously, and have the most fun with others that are the same way.

Imperium membership: If you're a mature, fun-loving, well-spoken/typed(don't have to be a grammer nazi, just not putting "ne1 want 2 go on sum runz?") adult with a sense of humor, you might belong here. If you like running ops with a "Come on guys we can do this" attitude instead of putting people down, you might belong here. If you'd rather help than criticize, and have patience if someone doesn't understand immediately, you might belong here. If you have a slow or non-existant temper, you might belong here.

All in all, I play this game to have fun. And wiping is a whole lot more bearable if you're laughing...

(A note about mumble; I was reluctant to switch as well, but the codec quality is amazing as well as using a fraction of the bandwidth vent or teamspeak does. And currently there is an occasional problem with TOR not starting with mumble up, in that case, go into mumble, Configure, Settings, Overlay...and disable the overlay.)
