Yo lexx,i transfered leadership to you in the RID guild on the SWTOR website

Alright, cool.

I registered for the guild on the SWTOR website under the name "Fishins".

Cool just let me know if you have any other issues.

And we'd be happy to see you in SWTOR Mistur :D

I'll be its leader for sure, but I'll definitely give the Council lots of leeway in recruitment and event management.

I think managing a guild in SWTOR will be a little more straightforward than it is in SWG.

Also, Lexx, any chance I can email you and get my login information again? Thanks.[/quote]


Ignore this part, I seem to have worked it out.

I completely forget my log-in information, but it's Mistur / Shreewookeh here.

I'll definitely join up with you guys for SWTOR if it ends up going ahead, and if you let me in that is! :P
I think it'd be fantastic if Lexx was still the official leader, even if we had some sort of Co-leaders to handle every day activities if Lexx was busy. I had so many great times with you guys through the time I played.


Also, Lexx, any chance I can email you and get my login information again? Thanks.

I have pre-ordered the SWTOR Collectors Edition myself already to. Hopefully I'll see you guys there! I'm sure I'll be on SWG a few more times before the end, but I think that will be my new residence ;)

I wonder who you are? :P

But by all means, it'll be great to see you back!

Upon the news of SWGs closure, I am reinstalling it to enjoy it for the last time. I wasn't the most attentive member of RID, but I can say with utmost certainty that you all made this old Pre-CU vet have a good time, even during the reign of the NGE. I hope to see some of you soon, cheers!

My first attempt at a recruitment poster.

I'll think about the domain, but yes a brochure would definitely be great.

I'll see to posting some RID clips as well too.

Oh, BTW, I host with godaddy.com, and they let me host as many domains as I want so if you want to register a domain or two (for the recruitment brochure or for anything else) let me know.

Yeah I wasn't sure what you'd think about the style. I very much like the worn look because to me it's very Star-Warsy and thought it might be fun to switch it up a little bit for SWTOR. Actually I was thinking about putting together a whole recruitment brochure (a one-page site) in addition to a recruitment poster. It would help my online designer profile, and we could make a recruitment video and put it on there as well. If you want, you can send me SWG clips. I've actually got some video editing software and some experience! We could mash-up some old RID events, some clips from the game and some music from the movies & the KOTOR game, to sort of tie it all together. Once the game gets going we can make more recruitment videos. :)

Let me know what you think!
