    Default New Age AoA

    So, I have been wondering why AoA has stopped doing what it was doing. My first impression was that maybe the Devs stopped it. AoA was a legendary guild, who I'm pretty sure all of you know, was to help out and make the game a friendlier place. By help out I don't just mean give gold or power level up, but I mean give tips, advice, or to answer any questions anyone has about the game. So first I'd like to ask, what did happen to AoA?

    I was thinking, since that guild is gone, why should we let their legend die? We should follow in their footsteps an make our very own "New Age AoA" so to speak. I sent a private message to SamHayne asking him if we could bring back an AoA type guild, and he said to go for it. I personally think it would be a great idea.

    I'm not to sure what a good name for this new guild would be. I feel like it should be something that resembles AoA but not a copy of it. Any name ideas are very welcome!

    I'm not sure how many members of the original AoA are around, but if you are out their and reading this, please let yourself be known!

    GOALS OF THE GUILD:
    1) Answer questions that new players or anyone has about the game.
    2) Help newer players by showing them places that they need help finding, such as the CS for example.
    3) Help announce things from forums that in game players who may not have a forum account should know, such as updates, events...ect.
    4) Get more people involved in the community, and suggest that people get forum accounts.
    5) Stop any "Verbal fights" going on, and help keep the chat clean.
    6) Host parties and events.
    7) In general be a good, helpful, community player.
    8) Bring back the golden age of PL

    Requirements to be in the guild:
    I think that the requirements should still be that you must have a forum account and be active in the community. It won't be open to everyone simply because some people would love to join just to troll and be rude, the exact thing this guild will discourage.

    I really think bringing this back is a good idea, but I can't do it alone, I need the support of the community of Pocket Legends. Please share any comments you have on this idea. I'll happily put the 250,000 to buy the guild.

    Thanks to you all!

    Those who were part of the AoA (or GoA if you're even older than that) and are still here, they haven't quit their duties. They were appointed to AoA and GoA because they did good deeds everyday that had large impacts on the community - they performed these acts of kindness without any incentive of getting a new title.

    Take two prime examples: CrimsonTider and Apollo. They've shown countless amounts of good deeds through their years with this game and forums.

    So honestly, I think it's unnecessary, but I do like the positive aspect you have to it. It is important to keep the good deeds in mind, as it portrays a better community.

    Everyone can be an AoA It's the small things that count, and you just need to be aware of them.

    I believe the first generation of AoA - the original batch were the finest quality AoAs to exist. They put the most effort I have ever seen in a community guild.

    Most of the rest, power went to their heads. Heck, if I recall correctly, there were many reports of you being an AoA and not acting like an AoA (bullying either players, cursing at them, etc.)

    This is the main reason why AoA was shut down. I'm not saying you did anything bad or anything, but saying that players were not mature enough to handle a guild like that. They simply did not have the mental maturity required at all times.

    Heck, even the GoA came close, but even some of them in the batch (I may even include myself in this) did not have the maturity required to live up to the role which is also probably one of the reasons why it was shut down.


    Again, Cookiez, I'm not trying to flame you but I am laying out the facts and using you as an example.

    The new age AoA is what you see now: The players in the community guild and other players simply helping others out of the goodness of their hearts.

    If I recall correctly, the community guild was made for this. Anyways, good luck. I remember when basically every single forumer used to pester me about me wanting to be GoA and AoA. Good luck with the guild.

    Most of the AoA's moved to The Community Guild, which is run by one of the most community-helping people I know.

    I have much respect for the AoA program. That's why I chose not to apply.

    In my personal experience, AoA can be described like this:

    Character is who you are when no one is looking.

    Many chose to seek a path of popularity and when they achieved the finish line, reverted to their true selves. As Parth stated, the first batch were the best, not because they were on more or even more knowledgeable, but because they were chosen without even knowing what was in the works. All responsibility, whether great or small, requires a certain level of maturity and this was not always the case.

    GoA was shut down and is no longer accepting people to join, like AoA.
