Regarding your play-times, certainly it is a challenge to find active players on 2 days a week (during day time) - but our membership does have stronger numbers on Fri-Sun, likely due to work schedules. Certainly a lot more than 5-6 of the "same people" on the weekend that you are referring to. There IS a push to expand the guild - but that isn't the responsibility for one or two people to do; it is everyone. Have you done any active recruiting, if not.. what's your excuse?

I do admit - BDO is getting a bit depressing; all we see are folks still clinging onto Arche Age and looking forward with dreamy eyes to "games of the future". Why we don't have more solid representation from our KGB brothers/sisters.... I dunno, certainly seems like a problem of KGB itself - not the fact that the BDO faction is "closed".

BDO has a lot of great things IN it right now; ocean combat coming, and other things that folks are waiting for. No reason they couldn't START and begin getting gear leveled/etc - but for apparently their own reasons, they either sit on the sidelines or keep dreaming about other games. To be honest; it seems if KGB members put more time and effort into actually playing a game TOGETHER instead of continually flip/flopping between possible titles (then calling them "crap" and moving on) - we might have the ability to represent in a game. Certainly EVERY game doesn't appeal to everyone; or have EVERY feature that people want or look for in a game. Doesn't mean they are all "CRAP" either.

Regarding progressing - not to get into a "penis" competition.. but you aren't the only one with gear, nor the only one working on gear/leveling. We have a lot of Knights working hard on their gear - so what you are saying there is more than unfounded - but rather insulting to them. What are you looking for, or is the reason you want the faction declared open is that you have already found somewhere else that you want to spend your 2 days a week playing?


While i do so enjoy the moderate hostility , im not going to get into it, the fact that every night i log in (even when its for a small amount other than my 2 days , yes this includes weekends) there is a very limited selection of pplz to play with and with that said even less who dont have there single minded play style.And as for the nice comment about maybe i have found another place to spend my " 2 days" , no i havnt cuz we are closed faction so im not looking , just getting m,ore fed up with as Owain put it the Lull , that imo is not just Temp , this has been something more or less that has been happening since day 1. I do not feel that KGB in BDO is even moderatly expanding , while i love most of the players who are on throughout the week , this is a very very small community in BDO that as of now to me feels more like a large group Vs a guild.
I simply wanted to request the status be changed due to this, didnt need the hostility thats coming across in your text.


I didn't see this as hostility either, so let me weigh in. A) It can be revisited, with respect to the faction status, but it has not really been long enough to evaluate.

B) I wont get into the penis contest, everyone wants to do their thing for their class, its natural in this kind of environment. I also note that anytime I have needed folks to help me or play with or level grind, they have been there.

C) How will it being an open faction change any of this? You will leave KGB to go play with another guild, without losing KGB status is the ONLY benefit. That does not help KGB.

D) I cant explain why more people don't play BDO. I personally think it is a deep, involved game and a lot of fun. But KGB has a history of being fickle, and game jumping like its all there is in life.

I hate to see you do this Zombie. I can't help but feel it is spurred on by many things, the least of which is you want your way, and the guild isn't going that way. Not a good mix sometimes, but I have been there.

The rules are pretty cut and dry, as I told you in another thread, you cant "temporarily" drop and come back. It's a closed faction, you are KGB or you are ex KGB.
