Stepping down

[Nangar Rockhelm]

Just need some for warning of a time and date is all. Evenings is preferable

I have one idea for you though, merge everyone from Wessex (whos still interested in DF) into Lux with the hope they come back when wessex does.

We have an open invitation from Maejohl to join with Lux if Wessex enters a dormant phase in DF, while everyone waits for the Golden Patch.

Hey guys,

First of all let me thank you Roy. I know I havent been around much since you rejoined Wessex months ago, but the time I wás around was alot of fun and I want to thank you for stepping up and taking charge.

I've been a member of Wessex for more then 2 years now and I've seen this happen more then once. The guild rebuilds under rule of a core group, usually it's Kaylem who took charge, and then gains a bunch of new members around a regular size but then eventually more and more people go inactive. I blame myself as well, I have had a very busy couple of months but I couldve probably been there more often. Anyway, I don't jump to conclusions, but this game in general tends to make people quit after awhile, in the state it's in today. I enjoyed playing back when we got Long March just because it was always busy. I go on vacation, we come back and have Aradoth, but when I log in only a few guys are there, or sometimes none. Therefor I log out again. It is a downwards spiral that only a change in gameplay or a dramatic overhaul of the guild's state could change.

Also the fact that Darkfall is a game that doesnt fit our governmental system adds up to the weight. It's simply true that this game is more appealing to the more pvp-focused clans. Then again it doesnt really matter. About a year ago, when we were in a fase like this, I said Wessex is a game within a game. It is. You join, but although you might eventually not play games together, you stay a member. You check the forums once in awhile and hey, suddenly there's a group of WSXians playing that game you just bought. Thats what kept me checking in on Wessex all that time.

Darkfall was the game we started with, Rune not counting, and it's the game we've probably not seen the end of by a long shot. It just might take awhile before it truely fits what we want our guild to be, if ever. Even so it's not necessary to jump on any bandwagon. Call forth a meeting, discuss the future and try not to jump ship, because that might seem a good decision on short-term, but my experience can tell it doesnt compare to the rewards long-term.
