Announcing The Old Republic Guild Summit

I think this is just an another attempt to keep players subbing.

Some sort of better textures (especially on gear) by end of March or im off, cheers.

The last 2 quotes are what I'm more thinking of. I completely understand about the public conventions / QA sessions - I have been in the software development industry. But why limit it to just Guilds? As was previously mentioned, many don't want to join a Guild for various reasons - for instance becasue I only play with family and friends. Can they not still get together, just as a guild does, and run Operations, FP's, and Heroics? They are less important because there is no "Guild" label under their name?

You can't have a serious in-depth conversation with PlayerQ because he isn't in a guild, thus below your level of how well I know / play the game? Are not people who post on the forums limited to those who have active subscriptions? The person who puts together nightly PUG's for FP's, Heroics, and Operations to help teach people because they can't join a guild becasue they don't have "x equipment" or "x skill tree configuration" or "You have to have already done it before." His opinion is no more important cause PlayerQ is not in a guild?

If there is a "specific" reason why Guilds only, then say it. I am one to defend BW, but this just puts a big stinch in the air.

Heh...yeah they do.

Here's a thought...why not have a quick chat with your guild leader (I'm figuring he won't be applying) and agree to temporarily adopt leadership of the guild for the duration of the conference, then couch your application as if you're the guild leader because, on the day of the conference, you will be.

I mean, if you happen to resign at the end of that conference and the old leader takes over and because it was for such a short space of time no-one ever actually got round to transferring ownership of the guild over to you...well, these things happen, don't they.

hehehe.... nice.. go and tell them how to create the game oO, pay for all and ofc pay for game .. nice maybe this guild leaders and ppl who will go there and help You to keep this game ONLINE - without major changes this game will fall - should beed rewarded...

and ofc it's only good for players from USA, prob noone from EU will go there.. i don't want to know what i can buy fo money what i need to spend from travel and hotel...

I completely agree. That's why *guilds* are so important to the community. You're not anonymous in a good guild - your guildies and GL should know you, and have semi-regular contact with you. If you're being ugly to someone in game, and you have a guild tag over your head, word will get back to your guild. Folks generally don't want to embarrass their friends and guildies, so they are more likely to be nice.

Ahh this is the big update DB's been working on and commenting on in Twitter; Looks fun. Pity its in Austin, if it were in Sydney I'd definitely force my way there.

Well as I said, I'm interested in attending this event; I am a guild leader. But I'm also a college student.

I'm not going to pay for airfare, food and lodging just to sit in meetings all day and help improve a service I'm already paying for. No thanks.

I suspect the vast majority of guilds will be from the local area due to the money issue alone.

This is a good idea. I'd tell the nay sayers to AT LEAST give it a chance before you crap all over it. If any good comes out of it, then it's worth it. There are plenty of people that would jump at the chance to go to this to not only get to talk directly to the devs, but to get some inside info on what is coming up.

I don't know why some people think they can't fix bugs and have this summit at the same time. They seem to think that all development and fixes are put on hold until march. How does that even make any sense?

Ask them why we cant go to the other factions planets for world pvp..
