1. Locate your wow folder
2. Open the folder named 'Data'
3. Create a new folder inside the 'Data' Folder, call it Sound
4. Open the 'Sound' Folder and create a new folder inside it, call it Music
5. Open the 'Music folder and create a new folder named GlueScreenMusic

Ok now to the music changing.

Get a song you want to use as login music, it must be in a .mp3 format.
Rename the song to bc_main_theme
copy the song you just renamed and past it into the GlueScreenMusic folder as you just created, close wow, and bring it up again,

there you go!! now you can rock out when you load wow!! instant IMBA-NESS

love rizzy!!

New Recruits.
Like all new recruits you don’t really know who is who, whose alt is who. Which officer is on what alt etc…. Class leader appears to be offline, your too shy to ask questions or raid the bank or whom to go too, to raise the question. etc…
You hesitate because you want to be correctly reviewed and evaluated by others around you. Its frustrating being new!

Other side of the coin.
The established members keep a relative distance and not really encouraged to help new members out with raids, quests and equipment etc…They prefer to let the new recruits to go into a settling in period first.

Possible Managed Solution.
What might be suggested or proposed is that after the applications of new recruits are approved by class leaders THEN they are then INVITED into the guild at a CERTAIN TIME of the week. This helps and assists the transformation of newly recruited members by;
(1) they might not remember everyone in the guild but they will remember those whose joined with them.
(2) “Were in the same boat” attitude helps that there first questions are amongst each other.
(3) Likely that they will form their own informal group for information, quests and helping each other.
(4) Questions most likely to be more pertinently addressed to experienced members after having passed through an initial consultation with other new recruits. “We don’t know the answer so go ahead and ask some one” etc…
(5) Makes joining UNITY socially fun and more enjoyable for their own game experience.

For us most experienced members,
(a) were not having to put up with the same individual questions.
(b) Saves members more time not to have to deal with unnecessary issues.
(c) We can choose to be online at the time so we know what’s what, whose new Alt’s etc..

Overall I think this will also create a very good first impression for UNITY and send out a positive underlying message to all new recruits if we have organised the time of week to join for example Tuesday evenings 6-8pm and Saturdays 4-6pm.
It would instantly set us apart from all the other guilds and give a good impression and add to the good reputation of what a great guild UNITY is.

Comments and questions from the floor please?
“Corr blimey we will be having “cocktail evenings” next….

Anyhow take care, and who know maybe I come back to azjol-nerub some time :)

1. Check out the website.
Congratulations! If you’re reading this then you’re obviously doing tip no.1. However, you really need to check out the website and forums on a daily basis. Even better, try contributing to the forums, it’ll get you noticed.
2. When a member asks for help in guild chat, jump at the chance to assist them. Even if it means dropping what you’re doing to rush to their aid. They will remember you for this and that will improve your chances of getting on in the guild.
3. Be polite to fellow members at all times. We all like to make fun of other people but if you do it to someone who hardly knows you, they might be offended. Get to know Stelli first before calling him a sheep shagger. Mages have feelings too.
4. Make sure that your alts have a note on them telling everyone that they’re yours. Someone might be looking for you to invite you to a raid.
5. When a member helps you with something whether it’s a quest, dungeon or crafting something for you, make sure you thank them. If you don’t it could be the last time they help you and word gets around about ungrateful players.
6. Use your profession to help others. There is only so much money you need in this game, so where possible craft things for fellow guildies for free.
7. Don’t ask for help all the time, for example spamming for boosts. You can’t learn to play your class properly if you’re getting boosted all the time.
8. Go to all the dungeons as much as possible. You may think you can play your character, but we are all still learning. If you’re regarded as a good player of your class you will get lots of invites to raids. A good player has at least revered status, if not exalted with all the main factions. You need to run all the instances a lot to gain this reputation. Remember, if you don’t think you or your gear is good enough for Heroics, you aren’t ready for Karazhan.
9. When you sign up on GEM for an instance like Karazhan, don’t assume that just because your name is on the list that you’re going. Signing up on GEM just shows that you’re interested. Apart from healers and tanks we have too many of the other classes and therefore we need to rotate everyone. Please be patient, the officers do try to make sure that everyone who wants to go, goes sometime. In the meantime, run those other instances and improve your gear.
10. Don’t follow Niflodia, she has no idea where she’s going.

If I cast Misdirect on you, it’s because I like you! Honestly!

I have noticed over the past few that hardly anyone posts on this forum. I think this is a big shame, TS is good and in game chat is alright too but it doesn't come close to a good forum.

I think half the problem is that we don't need to come to the website for anything, I rarely come here and if i do it is to post a quick "i will be away for a few weeks". Maybe a solution to this is changing raid sign ups from the GEM sytem to a website based one. It has a number of advantages which are as follows

1. More people will use the website and forums
2. People at work can change their commitments to raids (i.e you don't have to log on to the game to sign up of remove yourself)
3. Gem puts you into a "first come first raid" list, this is highly unfair to those who log on after the raid has filled up. Also if you have a raid full of DPS and no healers or tanks you have to let down people who were in that first 10. The fact that europe has time zones it means that people in Greece or Germany get home from work and sign up before those in Portugal or the UK. Having a web based system removes the need to log on to sign up and doesn't make it first come first served based. The raid organisers then can select the raid group from players around to get a viable group, not a group that is picked from those who were fortunte to get home from work quicker than others.
4) details for a raid on a web page can be far more detailed than the GEM system, you can specify what the raid whats to achive, how long it is running for etc….

Now this isn't a go at any of the leadership or anything but just what i think is a clear solution to 2 areas that need work. a) the lack of activity of forums and b) raid group sign ups i) both fairness and ii) raid group continuity.

Feel free to pick holes in my argument, maybe by looking at thise we can find an even better suggestion……..that is if anyone reads this!

Cheers

And I got a blue reply..:))

Don't forget to install GEM to participate in all the Guild events, Instances and Raids.

Form a group of 5 and you have to walk from Stormwind to Booty Bay.
Easy? Well here is the twist: your total group level cannot add up to more than 100 and you have to have at least one member of your group below level 10. You are not allowed to ress at any point if you die and you are not allowed to swim.
The winner will be the group whose lvl 10 (or lower) walks through the entrance to Booty Bay.
