Announcing the Official UESP ESO Guild

[baratron]

The North American Guild now has 4 active officers as well as our Guildmaster @Reorx, so feel free to PM @baratron, @Deandra, @Jeancey, or @Ratwar100 with any questions or requests for an invite .

I'll check whether you've been added next time I'm in the game, Inkling. My poor laptop can't run ESO and a web browser at the same time.

[MataataVonFawks]

Hi all! I'm @vonFawks in-game. Just figured I'd get around to joining the forums of one of my most visited sites. I use the guild chat a lot.

[AKB]

Cool, I am glad you are enjoying it!

I was wondering whether anyone has any ideas and suggestions for our guilds' heraldry. I think we should try and duplicate the same heraldry on both the NA and EU servers so our guilds have a unified, worldwide appearance.
My suggestion: based on the early discussions on the Guild name, and UESP's penchant for knowledge, history and wisdom (and contradiction), I would propose something that used the Julianos crest (seen left). Colours I think should be taken from the Yellow and Brown palettes, to complement site colours. (I have no current opinion on background shape/pattern.)

Legoless suggested Hermaeus Mora's eye might also be an option.

I haven't exactly been able to be too active with the UESP Guild, so take my feedback for what it is, but I quite like the heraldry you've proposed, particular the open book motif.

I had to temporarily cancel my sub because I couldn't justify paying it when I wasn't even able to find time to play the game, so I haven't really checked out the options, but I assume it's not really possible to combine the two options so that Hermaeus Mora's eye is featured on the scroll?

No unfortunately not. All of the available shapes and crests can be seen at Online:Heraldry. I've also uploaded some actual in-game examples now which can be seen on the UESPWiki talk:ESO Guild page.

[OblivionDuruza]

That link gave me a 404 for whatever reason (it should be working properly from everything I can see), but thanks for the heads-up regardless.

If the Daedric letter 'U' actually looked like a 'U' I might suggest that, but from that list I think Julianos may be a winner as far as I'm concerned

How many members are there in the guild now? I'm thinking of joining later today as soon as all the patches (how many are there?!? it takes forever, sigh...) have downloaded and installed (bought the game last week) .
I'm @igerup in-game and on the EU server.

[Alarra]

I don't know about the EU server's UESP guild, but the US one has 124 members in it.

[Enodoc]

The EU one currently has 35, and I see igee you're already in it, welcome!

Out of interest, what's the current state of heraldry on the NA server? I remember Jeancey asking Dave for the permissions to do something with it back along, and I don't know what has or has not resulted from that.

[Believe]

I'll be requesting an invite to the NA as soon as I get back to my house. Hopefully later today, possibly tomorrow...

I've had the game for a week or so, but had a few problems getting it to run, but it seems to be mostly all good now so I can show off my noobiness to all of my peers.

[Sortap]

Hey, just joined this week (EU guild growing) and was wondering about uespLog.lua in SavedVariables. I collect data on the German client, do you need this data? If so, where would I upload it?

Also: What is the focus of the guild? I guess it's getting together likeminded uesp'er users and creators who also play ESO?

Regarding heraldry:
I liked the examples so far and I'm totally fine with your choice either way. Only thing I would like to see is colouring more or less similar to the default uesp wiki style, if possible.

Hello all,

I have just taken over as Guildmaster of the North American Guild since DaveH is busy with another project.

I've updated the UESP Guild wiki page with lots of content, including the new NA Guild Heraldry. I'm sorry, European Guild folks - although we understand the reasons behind your choice of Heraldry, most of us wanted a tabard which would look awesome against brightly painted armour, rather than matching the subdued yellow and brown colour scheme of the wiki. So we have a purple and gold tabard celebrating Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge rather than Julianos, the Aedric God of Wisdom .

We also have a Purpose for the North American Guild:

"This guild is open to all admins, editors, and users of the UESP to provide a place to meet up, talk about the game, the UESP, or life in general. If you need help with a quest or world boss, or want to run a group dungeon, just ask on chat. We have regular group Fishing sessions to try to catch those elusive rare fish."

If anyone would like to join the NA Guild, please comment on this thread or (ideally) send me a Forum PM. Or even better, send a message via in-game mail to @baratron or @Deandra, who are on the game most days. If you don't get a reply from one of us in a reasonable amount of time, please try the other.

Thanks, and hope to see you in the game soon.

Congratulations on your promotion! I must say that the design for heraldry that you chose is pretty good

I should really have a chat with the EU folks about expanding the details of our section as well...

[noobishlord]

Finally getting back into the game, gonna have to drop a whisper on the admins for an invite. If account name's what is used, I am @JumboWheat01, if not, well, we'll worry 'bout that when I get back on in the morning.

[Dreadark]

Hey there. Could I get an invite to the NA guild? Thanks. My IGN is Dreadark. Same as here.

Who do we contact for the PS4 guild? And is there a North American guild?

We don't currently have any official PS4 guilds.

[Elderbrand]

The PS4 doesn't get any love?

[SCarverOrne]

The PS4 doesn't get any love?

I don't think it's that, it's simply that there is yet to be a presence on that platform. I only play on Xbox One anymore, and I was active (as much as I could be) with the NA PC guild so when I transferred over I just kind of fell into an officer role. If someone showed interest in creating and maintaining a guild on PS4 I'm sure no one would have a problem with that.

We don't currently have any official PS4 guilds.

I'm on the European PS4 server and a new member of the UESP forums.

I have a few questions: what if someone is interested in starting a UESP guild for PS4? Who should be asked for permission to use UESP's name?

Thanks.

Generally you'd be expected to be active on (or at least contactable through) the wiki, so you should definitely make a wiki account if you haven't already. I'd recommend posting here and maybe letting Daveh know that you're interested in helping out.

Thanks a lot legoless. I'll see how it works out. I just recently made a wiki account as per your suggestion, but I've been using the UESP for a few years now.

Frankly, I'm not too keen on leading a guild because I have absolutely no experience doing so and because I don't want to ruin the experience of other players as a consequence of my inexperience. However, I am interested in joining and helping out.

[legoless]

I wouldn't worry too much about that. If there's interest, I'm sure you could find others to help out or even lead. Currently the problem is that we simply have no guild on several of the megaservers, so there's nowhere for people to go.
