This guild is about trade. We will trade anything and everything which isnt nailed down to the floor (unless we can also sell the nails). We have crafters to make all those wonderful things people tend to buy, we have runners to get the ingredients for the crafters to make thier job much easier, we have guides to help get our clients to their destination, bodyguards to protect against foul beasts of prey and adventurers who seek out and obtain all the mysterious items hidden around norath.
/auction is time consuming and annoying... i want to be rid of it :) customers will eventually come to us instead.
Eventually we will be able to fill the needs of anyone in norath, be it a rusty dagger or a diamond ring, we can get it.
Runners will fetch the ingredients needed to keep the guild in optimal performance, they will hunt game for their skins, Deliver ore to places where such things are rare, do the odd chore or two and deliver goods to our customers. These services will be rewarded by a donation.
We shall cleans the realm of evil. we will gather our numbers and assault them in their own homes! We shall raid their hideouts and rid the world of their filth! then we'll sell their belongings :)
Once a member becomes of suitable experience, all members shall engage in a quest to find an item of epic perportions for this member to use that they may smite the evil in our name.
We shall train those not fit for trading on the completion of every month. all those who have not yet completed their 10th season shall recieve help to be boosted to this level of achievement.
At full strength we shall boast the most members in norath, this i give my word.
All members will have at least have a small understanding of a craft of their choosing so as to assist the master traders.
as you may have noticed, i have placed a large emphesis on the GUILD. ive seen too many guilds where its just a bunch of players... not a team. if we work together, there is no reason why we cant all be auctioning diamond rings/raincaller bows/platemail armour/reinforced leather armour/etc within the next few months. (of course... we have to wait for the regular players to afford our goods :)
the first week my main goal would be to build the guild a good base so that we can grow from it. this will mean powerleveling EVERYONE... at least up to lvl 10. this will be achieved from consistant raids on crushbone with 1 member being the recipient of all belts until they reach lvl 10 in which case the next person gets the left-over belts, plus all others until they reach 10. i say lvl 10 because this is the time EQ has said we can elect our alignment. being merchants, i believe we should be neutral (merchants cant discriminate)
