Yes, please. I thought it was pretty strange that I was kinda forced into posting my guild spam in the intro forum. Plus other guild and alliance spam is in GD. The earlier the forum is created the fewer threads that'll have to be moved.

My interest is piqued about this guild alliance. Seem a natural thematic fit for the 47th Legion I was wondering what infrastructure you are currently working on to support this endeavor? Obviously the essentials are a website, forum, and some type of VOIP service. Steam groups are also very handy. Also, I wouldn't worry too much but the admin side of this. Keep it simple. Have the emperor and the senate and have the senate comprised of the guild leaders. Sure, the senate can vote to do whatever but at the end of the day the emperor makes the call. Don't turn it into a democracy; that's for online drama queens. Use the senators as the primary admins and leave it at that. Guilds come and go and it's all part of guild alliance life. Seriously, don't over think it

While reading the devblog regarding LUA scripting I noticed that kevlar was mentioned as a building material. This got me thinking a bit since the inclusion of a textile is pretty specific. Will we be able to craft clothing? Body armor? Exoskeletons? Powered armor? Maybe even mechs? This is something which we really haven't seen in any of these voxel games yet would be immensely satisfying for those of wishing to get our Tony Stark or Brotherhood of Steel on.

Well, it depends what you want to do. What I have setup on the 47th's website is a gaming news forum which can be found here. Our guild website utilizes IPS Community Suite and inside of the adminCP is a very easy method of importing an RSS feed and configuring a few options like what user account should be associated with posting articles from said feed, where these articles should be posted, any kind of prefixes in the title, et cetera. But every single thread you see posted in that forum is automatically posted by our forum importing various RSS feeds which I have setup. So if I were you I'd just google whatever platform your forum software is and then include "rss import." Importing RSS feeds usually isn't very difficult.

Here's the actual link to the DevBlog's raw RSS feed: https://devblog.dualthegame.com/feed/ Your website admin will need that for importation.

Yeah, so RSS is a particular type of XML document format and a website can generate this document and automatically keep it up to date when new stuff is posted. So then you can have your own server check the document every X minutes and it can parse this document into a readable format. In my guild's instance,our forum software reposts articles from game websites we follow on a game news forum. I did notice that Dual Universe's dev blog publishes an RSS feed.

Thanks. Definitely not our first rodeo And we're very open to recruits! That's one of the primary functions of this thread. Might add that to the title yet, however.

I'd like to request that RSS feeds for the forum section be activated. This forum uses IPS Community Suite and enabled an RSS feed for the news/announcements/bulletin forum is very easy. To do so, simply have an admin log into the AdminCP and then hover over "Forums," then hover over "RSS Management," and then click on "RSS Export." Setting up the RSS export feed is very easy. The reason I'm requesting this is that I import RSS feeds into my guild's gaming news forum which allows to track games we're interested in and discuss their associated news. Thanks!

The 47th Legion is a military themed, North American based player association. The 47th engages in a wide variety of in-game activities to include PvE, PvP, crafting/trading, exploration, and colonization. The 47th prides itself on professionalism and esprit de corps which are our core principles. We hold our Legionaries to a high standard and prohibit any and all types of exploiting and cheating. Teamwork and collective effort are mantras the 47th Legion lives by. We explore in a squad, move in a squad, and we all do what we can to contribute to the Legion. Our Legionaries provide materials for the crafters who in turn provide gear back to the Legionaries. If you like to go and do things your own way, then the 47th isn't for you. Remember, if you are looking for an active, organized, fun, and professional guild, then you've found it in the 47th Legion! While the 47th is military themed with great interest in PvP our ultimate goal is the creation of our own castrum (fort) and the creation of a multi-national alliance, if not full society, all with a very heavy emphasis on mechanized combat. Tanks, APCs, mechs, exoskeletons, powered armor, fighters, bombers, capital ships, et cetera. It's the future, baby, let's roll with tech on our side! The various play-styles would rank in Legion-wide interest as such: PvP: ►►►►►►► The 47th will be heavily engaged in PvP and it will be one of our primary activities. PvE: ►►► We can't PvP all of the time so while PvE doesn't take priority it's obviously going to be an important activity. Colonization: ►►►►►► This our primary motivating factor above all else and will be heavily facilitated by our PvP and exploration play. Construction: ►►►►► A combat unit is only as strong as it's supply chain. The 47th Legion features a robust crafting infrastructure on our website centered around a functioning supply section which gives our crafters the ability to quickly advertise items and our Legionaries the ability to easily request them! No other nation offers infrastructure like this! Exploration: ►►►►►►► This will be a cornerstone that will heavily influence city building and PvP. Scouts definitely have a place in our Legion. Socialization: ►►► We like people! Someone has to run those shady bars just off post where our Legionaries will relax in their downtime. We have big plans for building an alliance and a cities so diplomats will be needed. We strive to provide our Legionaries with a semi-realistic military simulation environment. This involves some light roleplaying elements but our rank structure, personal awards, training exercises, and camaraderie constitute the bulk of the atmosphere. Additionally, the 47th recognizes the contributions our Legionaries make to the unit. Whether it's something as simple as creating some artwork, recruiting friends into the unit, or capturing a ship single-handedly we have a plethora of rewards to publicly honor our Legionaries with. Our legionaries proudly display their ribbons in a display case on their profiles. If you'd like to learn more about our awards system you can view them and their descriptions here. Professionally built website and forum based on IPS Community Suite; Image galleries, downloads, blogging, and social media support; Unit supply section; Discord VOIP service; Unique rank structure and awards systems; Weekly scheduled operations; Personalized 47th Legion e-mail accounts; Dual Universe newswire service; and Real military leadership and experience. Must be at Least 19 years of age (exceptions considered on case by case basis); Willingness to engage in PvP; Willingness to casually roleplay; and All alternate characters must be tagged with the unit. The 47th was originally established in 2007 as an offshoot of a Star Wars Galaxies guild from the Chilastra server. By the time of the NGE a lot of interest in SWG had been permanently lost. A deployment or two later I became highly interested in Tabula Rasa and chose to start my own player organization for the game with a few SWG guildmates which came to be known as the 47th A.F.S. Expeditionary Force, or 47th A.F.S.E.F.. Around the time of TR's closure Earthrise caught the 47th's interest. We waited for Earthrise for over three years and were finally able to step foot on Enterran soil at game launch. Unfortunately Earthrise was plagued with launch issues, lacked basic and rudimentary features, had an extremely unoptimized client which ran very poorly, had a small community, and incredibly slow patch releases. In June of 2011 we decided to quit Earthrise. Moving on from there we briefly dabbled in Star Wars: The Old Republic though in the end the game was simply the antithesis in design of everything we actually enjoy in an MMO. A few months later we started following the development of the Trion Worlds and SyFy collaboration known as Defiance. We greatly enjoyed the game and show and quickly rose to being the most dominant guild on the PC platform. Unfortunately, Trion World's interest in future development of the title quickly waned and the game is all but abandon-ware at this point. After exiting Defiance we've focused mainly on multiplayer sandboxes such as Empyrion: Galactic Survival, Space Engineers, Miscreated, DayZ, Ark: Survival Evolved, RUST, and various ArmA 3 mods over MMOs. The 47th is an excellent environment for current and past members of the armed forces. Many of our Legionaries are prior service (I personally served in the U.S. Army for seven years as a 19D Cavalry Scout: FIRST TEAM!) and enjoy being around other prior service Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines; we welcome and encourage you to join! At present we are currently gathering intelligence and planning the best path through the game to achieve our goals as quickly as we can after launch. All recruits who enlist prior to the launch of Dual Universe will be entered into our NCO Development program upon completion of their Battle Readiness Checklist. Additionally, all Legionaries who successfully recruit another member into the 47th will be automatically promoted up to and including the rank of Miles Gregarius [E3]. The 47th currently has Legionaries deployed in many titles as we await the launch of Dual Universe. We are currently officially supporting Empyrion: Galactic Survival, Star Citizen, Rust, and Osiris: New Dawn. We also have dedicated ARK and Space Engineer servers. Why wait months to play with an organization when you can join us online right now?

I want a real development cycle, not a game one purchases during development. I'm tired of it. Make the game, release, and sell 1.0. And use alpha/beta for real testing, not a paid demo.
