It's quite dead.. hardly see anyone :(

I know Deex is travelling but still we are very small in number and of that number very sporadic.

I'm wondering, have we thought about recruiting or something to liven things up and make the game more enjoyable for those still playing?

I'm starting to wonder why I resubbed... I mean I still enjoy the game but I also need the social aspect. It's what I've always loved about SWG but it's also why I quit for a year. It seemed that with the server transfer many were coming back or were more excited about the game... looked promising. But we're right back where things were before.. perhaps worse. I seriously think we need to do something drastic about the current state of our guild. It's a total drag.

Sorry, I had to rant about this.. it's been on mind for awhile now and I can't take it anymore. Does anyone else see what's happening or even care? Are we content with the way things are? Am I the only one who's discouraged by our low number now and relative inactivity?

Please, weigh in...

I've had finals and other issues making me not log in and when I do I see NO ONE anymore. Guildmates have always been the number one reason when bored of a game to keep coming back and playing... but the few who do play now are not logging in as much...

I hate to say it but if we aren't recruiting or trying; maybe we should partly consider joining another guild. At least - not end LXB or New League City but I don't know - I mean we never do anything as a guild - activities gotten more sporadic - partly for some like Nobody and Kalla content is a big reason - but with noone else logging in or rarely I remember that used to always be a reason when content was lacking to log in still - GUILDIES!

Doing Heroics, even PVP with friends/guildies makes anything 20 times better even when you've done it 30 times. We've done literally NONE since I returned Hoth twice and for WEEKS trying to do Hoth again just need 4 ppl can NEVER get just 4 ppl at same time!!!

We need some serious discussions imo.

I've been quite busy myself, as well, with school and all the boat loads of homework I end up with, but I always try to log on everyday even if it is just for a bit.

However, I do agree with pretty much everything said here. I can keep myself occupied with solo content, but with nobody to talk to, it loses it's appeal pretty quick. Thankfully when I tend to log in, Sam is there, so that's good for me. :P

Personally, I'd like to see some new faces in LXB, though it might be hard weeding out all the idiots, I'm sure there are some great people out there who would like to join a smaller guild.

Guess we'll have to wait for Deex to chime in before we can do anything. :P

i have wondered the same as stated. after we moved to SF things were looking pretty good. but that did nt last for long. when i m on i see one maybe two others but that s about it. i know several are busy in RL and thats a priority over a game. it seems thast weve just moved a ghost town from one server to another. hate to say that but it sure seems that way with the exception of 4 or 5 folks. the ones that have posted here and a very few others bein g the exception. new members might help but if we don t have an active core to keep new members interested we ll have the same thing we did on intrepid when we managed to recruit a few members. they stayed around for a while, saw how inactive or outright absent most were and went to other guilds or games. bottom line, imo, is that if we don t have a solid core group of active folks, recruiting won t solve the problem. sadly joining another guild as a group might be the only answer left to us. and thats not an answer i would like to do. some discussion is needed to work out a plan that we all can agree on. it s really sad because i know every time weve done anything as a group, all involved had a blast. grouping and doing anything is still the most fun to be had in this game.

Thanks for posting you guys and sharing your thoughts and feelings on the matter. It does need to be addressed and that's why I brought it up.

I agree with Kaine's thoughts on recruiting.. don't think that's the answer as we don't have a solid core or enough of one.

Both Red and Kaine mentioned perhaps joining another guild. I know that's not what we want.. to see LXB no more. But the only other alternative is LXB dying a slow death as it is now. I strongly feel that it's time to get past all that and to not view it in a negative light. If we joined forces with stronger, active guild this would serve to invigorate us toward the game. What good is holding on to LXB if there's nothing to hold onto? It's like those idiots that stayed on Intrepid saying "i'm going to die with the server.." Sorry, I just don't understand that.. I'd rather join another guild at this point, with you guys too, than to continue the way things are. Otherwise I'll probably end up cancelling my account. I'd much rather continue playing but with an active group of peeps!

However, I want to make something absolutely clear... I am in no way upset, irritated or bothered by the fact that others have either quit or hardly login. That's each individual's personal decision and as someone mentioned, it is afterall "only a game" and RL takes precedence. Krypty, I know you'd be here with us if you could and we miss you.. but it can't be helped. Yes I'm bummed but oh well. We have to deal with it.

I also want everyone to know that should I switch guilds, it has NOTHING to do with anyone in LXB personally. Last thing I would want is any bad blood or hard feelings. I just want to enjoy the game and have more of a reason to login.. which translated into having a good reason to justify paying to keep my account active each month hehe.

Bear in mind that should we join another guild we can still keep our city. So we don't lose anything but the LXB tag really... and we have so much more to gain. And hey if it doesn't work out, we could always reform our own guild again. Not like we don't have options even later.

Hey guys, I've been really busy with RL and such especially now I'm working on more projects, from drawings to storyboards. Are we really thinking about heading to another guild? If so I wouldn't have much a problem with it unless things start warming up.

Greetings LXB

Well im home from travel but havent had the time to log in myself, while I was gone my wife made a big honey do list, we are remodeling 2 bedrooms as of now, and putting in wood floors, so I get home and go to work.

To the topic at hand it is dissheartening to see the lack of LXBers on, I do understand the fact that real life trumps the game, im all for trying to recruit new members, we have the room to grow, im not keen on "joining" another guild, as before when Intrepid was dead I vowed to keep LXB intact, ill do so now.

One thing we may want to consider is strikning an alliance with another guild, there are a few that came over from Intrepid.

Hopefully with the coming of summer and all our student types have more time to play things will get better.

Anyway im here, just havent been on as much, hope to change that in the future.

So... will anyone get bent if I switch over to -BW-? They said the door is open for LXBers. They're quite active and a lot of fun!

Sam you have to do what you think is best, if switching to another guild is what you want then by all measn do it.

that brings up the question for everyone else, do we all switch and let LXB die, do we keep New League City alive, after working to get it to where it is.

you all decide and just let me know what you all think is best.

Well here's what I was thinking.. if we try to recruit it kinda puts pressure on us to be there or the new recruits will just leave. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Personally, I think we should all join BW but keep our city. We did work hard to get it and there's no reason to move again... and if we/they wanted, we could even have some of BW move into NLC to get our pop to 40... just a thought.

They're already very active and there would be no pressure for any of us to change our current playstyle or be on more.. unless of course we want to be.. but if it's just not possible for some of us now then no sweat.

I really would like all of us to stay together so I hope everyone joins me! :D

Sam that is what I have been thinking since replying to your earlier post, join the bigger guild be keep NLC intact, if things didnt pan out we could always reserect LXB.

I know a lot would like to have more people to do things with, its rough to log in an not see anyone on

I would like to hear from others on this topic before makning any kind of decision.

Ill send out a guild e-mail about the topic and direct them here to the forums.

Greetings LXB,

here is a copy of the mail I sent in game about this discussion.

Greetings LXB,

As most of you that play regularly there ahs been a lack of players on at any given time to do much of anything with.

Now this has some thinking of leaving LXB to join a more active guild, and I can not fault anyone who wishes to do so.

With that being said, there is a discussion on our (LXB) forums about LXB merging with the guild DW, most are from Intrepid, they are a larger more active guild and some of you probably know them.

The thought would be to merge guilds, we join them but we will keep New League City.

Nothing has been decided as of yet, I would like to get everyone’s opinion on this issue, so if you could go to the forums and add to the discussion or send me a mail with your thoughts.

Thanks for your support/

Well i havent been on to much myself ( mostly i am on TC.. and i am not happy about the spy "nerf nuke" )

Yes.. even when i log on shifu o SF.. barly anyone is around.. barly anything to do.. i know sam grinded up to cl90 mando.. LXB cant offer any groups.. we cant offer content as it stands right now..

BEfore we decide on a merge.. id like to get more infos about BW.. how many active ppl? activities? anything that would force us to .. well. not be like we always have been?

Tbh. i dont think we will get any usefull recuits from SF ( not many.. not from the imperial side ).. recuits that actually would feel like we do.. IF bw can offer us a way to enjoy the game again... i say we try it.. ´if its worth it.


Shifu, Nobody and Voxyn
