Greetings-

Many have known my character, Thet Darkhand, a self-professed Harbormaster. It's true, and some have ridiculed his incessant rants as he has offered guidance and favors to those new to Stormreach's Harbor.

Well, as Cannith is the last bastion of new blood to DDO, we (that is, veterans with the aptitude to teach the new players of DDO) have come under the guild title The Last Harbormasters. Entry is simple -- be a very experienced, friendly & helpful player from any other server with extensive quest knowledge and the ability to save a party of 5 helpless from any elite in the Harbor in most level-appropriate situations.

Our goal is to help the new players of DDO get a firm foundation of the initial quests and their objectives in DDO. Instead of bumbling through every quest in a clueless group of 6, we try to take groups of 4-5 clueless with 1 or 2 harbormasters and press the group to its limits. Sometimes this may be normal or hard, other times the group may be savvy enough to complete the hardest initial quests on elite (WWs, Stealthy Repo, Irestone Islet, etc).

Our guildmembers are encouraged to also offer extreme assistance in all harbor-related quests, favor-unlocking for drow and build questions. The most important thing is to remember there is more than one way to skin a drow -- do not impress upon a new player that there is only ONE correct way to play or do any specific quest.

We're looking forward to "new" experienced players signing on with The Last Harbormasters -- a guild of leaders designed to teach the throngs of new players and future leaders of Cannith.

Thanks Silverthorne!

I'm taking the Relics of the Last War guild charter and modifying it from Master-Apprentice to Tour-Guide & temporary Sensei. Currently we only have 5 Relics members in the guild -- looking for anyone willing to roll in the harbor and marketplace from the other servers to take our charter as a challenge and adventure. I'm hoping this is especially attractive to social adepts that had no real incentive prior to this charter to come to Cannith and take a break from time to time from their primary server. Relics of the Last War (the guild) is currently 100% dedicated to educating Cannith's new players under The Last Harbormaster's charter and name.

Greetings-

Elspeth has thrown together a guildportal that is redirected via www.thelastharbormasters.net (http://www.thelastharbormasters.net) The direct link to The Last Harbormasters is this Guildportal's Link (http://guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=329634&TabID=2761351)

We've currently six experienced veterans and are hoping to gain future officers from across the other servers. Please look for our guild tag on Cannith or send a PM to myself and we'll get you established. Our ventrilo is also available for coordination to help establish our officer core and make the transition to a new server easier so they might be self-sufficient early on.

Our first big project is projected for Halloween after the guild has attained level 12+ characters across the board. The anticipated project will be 100 favor in 30 mins runs for F2P and VIP players that could use the TPs to buy adventure packs, character slots or races/classes. We'll be doing this for 5 hours on a Saturday Night in October leading groups through break-neck speed to unlock 100 favor on throw-away characters and recreate to jump into the next 100 favor group lead by one of our Harbormasters. Our goal (if 12+ members are available at that time) will be to generate 12,000+ free turbine points. If this is successful, we'll be running this every-other month on one night to give our F2P core the ability to run new content that otherwise may be out of their reach.

Thanks for reading! Take care and we'll be watching you from the Harbor walls as you land and take your first steps towards this great city of Stormreach.

The Last Harbormasters -- A Guild of Leaders from the Fourteen Original Servers.

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone,
the courage to make tough decisions,
and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.
He does not set out to be a leader,
but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent."

Update 1

Our Website (http://www.thelastharbormasters.net) TheLastHarbormasters.Net is now redirecting to our Guild Portal. Ventrilo is hotlinked and numerous veteran players with leadership qualities have joined. We welcome all veterans leaders with the correct mindset to instruct and lead the next generation of players on Cannith.

Wait Wait Wait!


Nobody told me I had to be any kind of leader?



I thought I was supposed to run around the harbor telling anyone I see (in my best aliens voice) "Take me to your leader!" :eek::cool:

Thanks Gum! I saw you got a guild going on Cannith too when I was levelling Relics up for Drow Unlock. It's almost like Argo -- I've even found rude people. :p I've found good ones too though!
