Meeting Topics
Hail ELDERS. Although ICQ is wonderful for brief messages, it never quite allows enough space. As such, each week's coming meeting agenda will be placed here, for our members to see. Please make note of any questions you may have regarding this information, and be sure to bring those notes with you when you attend the meeting.

Meeting Topics - Wednesday August 13, 1997!

1. Our New GAMES SECTION!: :D Thanks to our esteemed and dedicated member Rillian, our website shareware section is finally starting to develop. Rillian has added 4 new pages, and more on the way. Download and play over 100 megs of shareware over our Kali server tonight!
2. Change is inevitable: Not only our name is changing, but also our platform! Elders Online is slowing making its migration to the Internet Gaming site of the next century (ok.. so we have a little ways to go yet. ;) Visit our Games Calender for a short list of the improvements now in the works!

1. Website Chatroom!: It's an official hit! Our website Java-based chatroom, complete with sounds, was designed so well, that the java code developers upgraded us from a 100 simultanious users to 1,000 simultanious users, alone with unlimited channels/rooms, designated channel operator status, and registered nicknames! That's a $400.00 upgrade for free! Why, you may ask? They believe, as we do, that we've got a good thing going here. We'd like to thank Webmaster, Inc. for their donation, and suggest that if you need a website chatroom, Webmaster, Inc. offers solutions from small to overwhelming numbers of users. They even offer trial versions, and free versions! Be sure to tell them Elders Online sent you!
   
2. Change Is Inevitable: In case you haven't noticed, the Elders of Diablo has started its progressive move towards becoming a multi-platform gaming guild, and has changed its name to The Elders. Our website and online gaming server have collectively come to be known as Elders Online. As our current "Cell" structure has served us well thus far, however, we feel to best serve our members, it is best to revise our rank status. We'll be dicussing new options at the meeting. Be there, if you would like a say in the matter. Meetings will now be held on our Elders Chat server.

1. New Name: It was bound to happen. In order for our guild to continue to grow, Elders of Diablo had to change its name. While our guild was originally formed on Battlenet (Blizzard Entertainment's gaming server), to provide Diablo addicts... err.. players :) a safe group to play with, our recent move to a Kali Secure Server, has given us options to play over 60 multiplayer games. After hours of suggestions, Lord Elias decided to stay with his first idea, and alter our name from Elders of Diablo, to simply ELDERS. EoDNET, is now Elders Online. Watch for new logos and web pages.
   

07/23/97

1. Open House: Elders Online, formerly EoDNET, has kept its members so secure from outside intrusion, that our membership has been finding it hard to meet new prospective members! To address this problem, the membership decided that Elders Online should open their doors to outside gamers at least one day a week. Watch your ICQ for advanced warnings. :)
   
2. Promotions: Congratulations are in order for now Magistrate Akar of the Silent Warriors! Magis Akar was one of the original founding members of ELDERS. Now second in command of the largest Cell of ELDERS, Magis Akar will be able to assist Lord Grim in his duties of managing the Silent Warriors of ELDERS.
3. Ultima Online: Thank you to ELDERS own Lord Soth and visiting Sir Korbundar, beta testers for Ultima Online, who fielded frienzied questions from our members. Our distinguished guests conveyed that Ultima Online is still extremely laggy, so much so that they spend more time fighting lag than evil monsters. Their consensus, however, was that Ultima Online will live up to it's pre-release hype. We'll keep you posted.

07/16/97

1. New Positions: Congratulations to new Archmagus Belgar, who was chosen to head EoD's New Member Recruiting, Training, as well as Gaming Organization. AM Belgar shared his ideas of several new games that EoD members will soon be able to play, as well as an interactive gaming bulletin board where members can post their names well in advance for games they'd like to play, and other members can sign up!
   
   Congratulations are also in order for Magistrate Time (formerly Lordnevercheat) of the Circle of Light Cell. Magis Time, as is his official title, will be responsible for a great deal of the present organization and the future grow of the Circle of Light! We are lucky to have him, as he makes a fine addition to our officers.
2. New Chatrooms: Since the move to our secured Kali server, the only complaint that our membership has had, has been the lack of a Battlnet-style chatroom. Well... not to be outdone.. :) EoDNET announced it's intentions of creating an even more attractive and functional chatroom, complete with up to 7 different avatars to choose from (Battlenet only offers the standard three). Members at the meeting were able to test the new chatroom on another chatroom format. We will be creating a "Virtual Chatroom" in a graphic environment, probably a Castle meeting room, with a "Round Table" style. More information will be available from your Cell Commanders.
3. Ultima Online: Our first real discussions about UO (Ultima Online). We will be appointing a committee to start work on the project.

06/18/97

1. Co-op Games: Lord Gabriel, Cell Commander of the Circle of Light clan spoke about the growing number of members being Player-Killed when they play in public games. He suggested that EoD members play in the guild-only password protected games. A list of these games can be found at our games page.
2. Enjoyment of Co-op games: Lord Grim spoke of the recent occurrence of members forging into areas of the dungeons that their characters just aren't ready for, and expecting the other guild members to come rescue them every time they die. While we as a guild always protect our members, it isn't fair for one member to assume the others will come to your aid if you continue to rush into areas that you have died in several times during the same game. It isn't fair to the other members, since they will have to leave their adventuring to save you.
3. Members-Only: Watch for an all new Members-Only area of our web site, now under construction. Now in the works are: Observations from Lolita, in-depth reviews of game strategy, dueling tips, and Cooperative gaming guidelines; and much more! Check back often for updated column topics. Also available will be our "Most-Wanted" list, for our Enforcers to hunt Player-Killers that have attacked our membership; a list of our current membership an their respective email addresses, ICQ numbers, and Battlenet ID numbers; and our "Promotion Quests" page devoted to the true essence of good gaming, with quests devised by our respective Cell Commanders geared to accelerate rank promotions within each cell.

06/11/97

1. Name Change: EoD members unanimously decided to add their rank, cell membership, and guild at the end of their names. i.e. Joe(SSW)[EoD]. The first "S" signifies the rank of Squire, the "SW" signifies the cell of Silent Warriors, and the "EoD", of course, signifies the Elders of Diablo.
2. EoD Tags: All consenting EoD members to add their Bnet account numbers to their ICQ "info" area. This is NOT mandatory, however, will help us in locating one another on Bnet.
3. Guild Games Only: All guild members will use only the guild game names (found at our games page) so that members can find other guild members to play with at any time. Weekly game passwords will be emailed or ICQ'd to all members on Sundays, for the following week.
