Fate of the Knights of Ni

To my fellow guild folk, the time has come for some serious discussion on the direction and membership of our guild. Our leader Sanlen, aka Aryeeth, has asked me to initiate discussions with you, our members, to find out your opinion and view in regards to the continuation of our guild as it stands.

Currently we have over 170 members and I know that a lot of these are alts for our core roster of members. We have not been recruiting many new players to our ranks and as such we have found the attendance level has been slowly dropping for events etc. We have also lost guild members in waves along the way as they move on to guilds more suited to raiding or higher level events.

We have an opportunity to fully align ourselves with our sister guild the 'Knights of Galbala' by showing our support and joining their ranks as fully fledged members. This would entail a slowdown on our guild 'Knights of Ni' and a merge over time into our sister guild. Please let me know how you feel in regards to this opportunity as these are only thoughts at this stage.

We are currently not a very active, social and supportive guild. I recall a time when there would be more than 20 players online over the course of a weekend and up to 20 throughout the week. We have a chance to change this if you, our members, wish to help us and bring the guild back from the dangerous path we now tread. The more active we are in the guild, the more we get out of it.

I know real life takes precedence over WoW, I have 3 children who can consume my time at the drop of a hat. I don't like people placing WoW before family so there will be times when things don't go according to plan and we have to decline an event, that's life. Yet there are plenty of guilds out there who continue on through those rocky waters and break through into the light again. We should consider ourselves a family to rely on and be supportive. If we can't be there for each other then who will!

If we all choose to continue as the Knights of Ni then we will need to bring in new blood and get our ranks filling with new members. This will hopefully in turn bolster our event roster and hopefully lead to better instance and raiding events.

To the Knight of Ni Officers, I pose the same questions. What do you think and where would you like to see us go?

Can we all please take the time to think about, reflect and give any opinions on these matters. It is important for our future together.
