The Road to Battle for Azeroth
The end of another expansion is upon us, with the beginning of a whole new one to come! Looking back, Legion has been a bit of a strange expansion for us. It started with a multitude of phasing issues on the Broken Isles, which in part resulted in the guild's ultimate hiatus. It ended, however, with the guild's return in a bigger and better way than it's ever seen before!
Though the concept may have been upgraded, the guild's members and its atmosphere remains just the same as ever before: open-minded and welcome to all newcomers! This is a trend we hope to continue leading up to the very end of the Legion expansion, as well as the entirety of Battle for Azeroth to come. Our recruitment will remain open, but at the same time, we will make renewed efforts to bring back the immersive, grandiose campaigns that we started this reboot off with. The centerpiece of these campaigns will be one particular word:
Chapters!
You thought the Return of the Red Blade campaign was just the only one? As a matter of fact, it was only the first chapter to plenty more to come! Moving forward, we have a larger, overarching narrative in mind for the guild. Our aim will be to have a long-term vision for where we want to take the guild and its primary story line. To do this, we intend to tell this story over the course of many different chapters, each of which touching upon a piece of orcish culture or the background of the old Red Blade clan.
With these chapters, we hope to place quality above quantity. Rather than to run one campaign after another and wearing our members out, we will allow random RP and social interaction with both our own members and outsiders to flourish as well. In between these campaign breaks, we hope to promote orc RP with the rest of the world of Azeroth in the more usual RP hubs and perhaps even see if we can share a bit more with the community in terms of community events. Meanwhile, each of these chapters should, much like the Return of the Red Blade campaign, be a perfect opportunity for newcomers to join the guild whilst playing an integral part in the campaign's story line. Which brings us to the next point of this update...
Recruitment!
With the arrival of Mag'har orcs and upright postures for orcs, it's a safe bet to assume more players will take an interest in trying out orcs. While most of these may only try out the race for a brief stint before they return to their old mains, there's a fair chance some might be tempted to stay. In addition to the aforementioned community events, another (familiar) incentive we will have to promote ourselves will be another brand, new guild trailer! You can count on plenty more epicness and cameos once we start shooting the newly released content and glorious straight backs. So if you're a member, make sure to stay tuned for any announcements on that in the near future! After all, we like doing things back for our long-term, active members, which is why we also have...
New banners!
As per Red Blade tradition, we like to reward some of our most active orcs with places on our website banners. Since the guild's return, we were yet to make any new ones featuring orcs that have (re)joined us since our revival, but that has been presently corrected! If you don't want to keep on refreshing the pages until you've seen all of them, you can check out all of our new (and old) banners in this thread.
Feeling down because your orc didn't get featured in the banner just yet? Not to worry! We hope to give the banners a regular update as people become more or less active, and we'll perhaps even throw in one or two extra banners if the need arises! Alternatively, if not for the banners or recruitment trailer, you might still end up being featured in the Member Spotlight instead, which will soon make a return as well!
All in all, we have big plans for you all come 2018 and Battle for Azeroth! We hope to see you all share the journey with us!
For the Blood of Redblade!
