URL Change
Posted by Wintermute (Senior President Field Ops) at Apr 6 2009, 02:13 PM. 6 comments
Because I own the URL and the forums are basically dead. I am starting a new non specific game forum/group.
Basically it will be a place for the massive network of friends that used to be umbrella and branches into dozens of games.
Sometime in the next week "yourdeathisourbusiness.com" will become the URL for the new forums. At that time I will place the umbrella forums in archival mode, removing the ability to post, but making them all visible and linkable to the new forums.
So if your bookmark for these forums stops working enter "yourdeathisourbusiness.com" in your browser.
There will be an Xfire and Steam group you may join if you wish. The goal is to enable people to keep in touch, have funzies, laugh, and if we are in the same game, pwn face.
ITT: Comments and Qustions.

Just a few administrative things I need to cover.
If anyone need anything or has questions please PM me on the forums, on X-fire, or ask me on vent.
- 1. The only items that should ever go in the guild vault are items of BLUE or better.
If you have crafting items you would like to store make a mule. Simply put it is just an alt you do not play and use for extra bank space. Once you get stacks of items, either give them to a member that can use them to level their crafting or sell them in the auction house and use the money for gear or donate it to the guild vault for keep upkeep. - 2. Any members who are in Parasol who have not had their forum access updated please send me a PM here on the forums. I will get it taken care of when I get your messages.
- 3. ???????
- 4. Profit.

Guild Finances

We're going to try this...
Guild tax rate is going to 30%.
I'm going to keep an eye on the amount in the guild bank. When it gets to 144 gold it's going to be time to collect. 144 gold is that magic number that means we have only have 24 hours worth of resources left to maintain the Keep we are reaping so much guild XP from.
When it's time to collect I'll be online and everyone will get a tell from me, on an individual basis and you will be asked to donate whatever you can. I'll be the one collecting each and every time so I'll be the one knowing who is always holding out and who is always carrying more than their weight.
I'm holding back from setting a day or a certain ammount because that isn't what I should have to do.
"Hey cumbucket, it's guild tax day pay your 20g cause I haven't checked your name of the list yet..." Sound familure? Yeah it does, that's every other guild who just recruited a bunch of fucking scrubs and are only in it for what they can reap for themselves.
We've got a good group of mature people here and you've all been able to show that when it's time to support the guild you're all there when it matters.
After informing everyone on vent of our plight yesterday the response was overwhelming. Donations came in and everyone was very generous, your actions have already shown that this shit can work.
Don't be a fucking Jew.

Guild Tax rate increase.

We've found out the hard way that the upkeep on a captured fortress is an hourly charge of over 6g an hour. Coupled with the cost of siege weapons and other things we've been forced to up the guild tax rate to 50%. The upkeep is withdrawn directly from the guild bank but the amount of the experience the guild gains form holding it is a huge benefit well forth paying for.
I would also like all of you to set your Tithe Rate back to 0%. If you want to donate more just hang on to the gold because there will be plenty of lower level guild mates that will need help getting their mounts and other things.
The rate might go up or down but we are going to try this for a week and see where it goes.
If money is required or anything feel free to bring it up in guild chat, we're all going to work together on this and make it happen.
If you don't like it, you can get the fuck out.

WAR client error & solution
Posted by Wintermute (Senior President Field Ops) at Sep 18 2008, 07:46 PM. One comment
I know of one other member of Umbrella in addition to myself that has had a problem with a critical error when you are trying to load. You get a message of something along the lines of "warpatch.exe blah blah blah critical error. Try again later."
The solution for this is simple. Reboot your computer. Problem solved.

Listen up.
Many of us will be rolling characters tomorrow during the CE headstart and the rest of you will be creating your toons soon there after. We are implementing a new requirement to facilitate more effective management of our members.
When creating you're character make sure you choose the name you want us to know you by. Effective immediatly; your ventrilo, forum, and in-game character's name will all be the same. If you need your forum name changed to meet this requirement, feel free to PM Wintermute or myself and we will be happy to assist you.
Make it happen.

Umbrella's Lauch Server
Posted by Wintermute (Senior President Field Ops) at Sep 12 2008, 10:43 PM. 7 comments
As most of you know we are rolling on an "Open" rule set server. They released the list of launch servers.
Really? What server are we rolling on?
If you really really want to know I suggest you get up early on Sunday to find out. The decision will be made my Neuromancer and myself at that time. I am sure you would agree only a fucking guild run by morons would run the risk of selecting a server prior to knowing population balances.
Will you be posting the server in the News area or on the forums?
Neither. You must log on vent. Get over it.
But I can't get on vent.
Then what the fuck are you doing in this guild?
