By Ciovala @ Telarapedia during the Gamercom convention this past weekend

For any pre-launch guild, beta typically means that recruitment will start to jump into high gear and what not? For Trinity, our recruitment status has not changed much since the last update as no new gaming information has become avaliable that would allow us to alter our views on guild size. Currently, we are still looking at a 25-30 size in roster. While we do continue to host a CLOSED tag outside our door, applications are more than welcome as extra consideration can be and will be done for those exceptional players.

The infamous question of "Which side are you guys going?!". Well unfortunately, this question will remain unanswered until quite possible a week before launch or maybe earlier. There are currently too many variables for one guild to up and decide which side to support, this includes race/combos availability, ability to communicate with the other faction, gaming environment, and other factors. We at Trinity hope that faction selection will not be a huge factor in class selection as the EQ2 approach is more favorable in variety of gameplay options. So for now those currently interested, note that we have not decided on any faction nor do we plan on doing so for a while, just remain open to when we do make a decision for the best in guild interest.

Since the re-launching of the site, my pm box keeps getting the same questions on the current recruitment status that we are currently in, so I figure its best to post my response on the frontpage so everyone can take a looksee.

Trinity recruitment is currently closed!

The reason why our public recruitment is closed is simple, there is not enough information currently avaliable to warrant an open-house policy. Going by what is avaliable, there is 5 - 10 - 20 man content, guild advancement, crafting....and that's about it. These 3 elements combined would make any guild that wants to control its size rethink on recruiting until all 3 elements have been confirmed as to what part they will play in achieving overall guild synergy. Our roster currently sits at 26 man, so does that mean we will not consider any further? Absolutely not, placing an application and showing signs of interest is always appreciated and like how real life works, you never know what may happen.

How do we recruit?

With the announcement of how the soul class system will work, we found it almost impossible to follow traditional recruitment rules (by class) and have to set up a by archtype recruitment basis. We feel this not only benefits us as a guild that requires flexibility, but it allows the player to not be forced into an undesired roll 110% of the time. When we post recruitment openings, we go by the "class-action" relationship. Meaning we will look for certain particulars (as more information becomes avaliable) such as "Warrior-tank", or "Mage-dps", "Rogue-range", etc. Currently in pre-release form, we will not be working with the action, but more with the class as our roster is looking at a 24 - 29 size by time launch. After launch, the "class-action" will take place.

Are our policies final?

Like other guilds, no. Our policies are no where near final as information today may change tommorow, or next week. However, establishing a firm base of policies is crucial for current and future guild success. As more information becomes avaliable surrounding raiding, guild advancement, and crafting, we will take the necessary steps regarding our recruitment policies. If that means increasing/decreasing roster size or forming a crafting team, those are matters we will take under consideration.

So without further spam, for those who do share interest in the guild still, posting an application  does not hurt one's chances. We don't push the insta-decline button...even though I wish I had one. :o

Welcome to the new home for the Trinity Organization! With hopes of our new found home in Rift: Planes of Telara, we believed it was necessary to open up with a brand new website! We will continue to fine tune the site to perform at an optimal level that is acceptable to both members and visitors. If you have any feedback you would like to leave with us, feel free to post on our forums or PM myself or Vandria. A few things to go over!

• The contrast of the website will be adjusted as we recieve more feedback from users. We understand it may be too bright so we will continue to tone it down as needed.
• The user database from our old website has been imported over so your posts and username has been saved so no need to re-register! If you are however unable to login, please use the "Lost Password" function to get it re-setup.
