You bring up a great point Joe, I'll have to confirm with Tflem his age. I may not be the youngest anymore. I really don't know for certain. It's hard to believe I started this thread 7 years ago. A lot has changed since then, but we are all here for the same reason. To play games and have fun. We created XG to have a community of like minded individuals to ensure great teammates/companionship during every gaming experience, and we continue to strive to make that possible. I'm still open to any all questions. I don't get on the website as much as I used to, but the first thing I always check is my "Ask the Council" forum.
@gamestar I'm happy to hear that you joined to make friends, and I'm sure you will find plenty of people to play with. I am honestly not sure off of the top of my head, who plays GTA5 and horizon. Those aren't games that I play regularly, and in fact I am on the Xbox 1 only now. But there are many places in the forums that you can post to find some people that would like to join you in any game. You can even try the general discussion forum.
@shredda It's great to hear from someone who is passionate about what they do. We never take that mentality for granted. I must say first that I was not in the meeting where most of the decisions were made in regards to XDC (I have had a lot of personal stuff going on and haven't been able to be as big of a part of Xiled Gaming's decision making process as I would like to be again). So I'll try to touch on some of your concerns, but I will have to get with some other leaders to get the full scope/direction we are trying to obtain in XDC. First, as a general, you are completely responsible for your clan. Now I'm not saying that as a mean thing, I'm saying it more to share that you are in control of your own destiny. You can mold your clan into any type of clan you like. If you are simply having difficulty recruiting, get with some other generals (in any division) and get some pointers. Recruiting is essentially the same (except age restrictions) in all divisions. You guys can all go out and recruit together. When you go to recruit someone don't say that you are in a design clan only, just say it is part of Xiled Gaming. Once they are in, and you treat everyone like its just a regular clan, they aren't going to leave just because XDC was started for designers. Like I said before, network with other generals (or other leaders) in other divisions.
Second, XDC will stay XDC because we already own the rights/copyrights/domain names to it. I like that you are trying to think outside the box, but I don't think we will change the name, unless it would offer something new to gamers that one of our other divisions don't offer. We already encompass the mature gamers (XGC), gamers of all ages (KoG), gamers with some grit (SYN), and gamer girls (XGG). So the XDC offers something that the others don't in that it is a more direct route to our visual medias. We still want there to be gaming divisions of XDC, because the whole point of people getting online is to get on and play.
Third I will speak to you difficulties with the chain of command. We have a lot of leaders that are plenty capable to help you in your endeavors. I will be honest, many of the council have not been online as much as we used to. This does not mean that we will be limited forever, we just have all had some serious life stuff come up. I'm not going to say what exactly is going on with each of us, but each of us has had some major life changes recently. I'm sure if you asked every council member/community leader every single one would tell you the wished they could be online more, but we all have to work to pay the bills just like everyone else. We are all very proud of XG, but unfortunately XG does not make enough money to employ any of us. XG makes very little money at the moment, and all of the money that it makes goes straight to costs associated with hosting the website. In fact it costs the council extra money most months to keep everything up and running.
We just strive to make the most enjoyable gaming experience out there for all of our gamers!!! I would say for all gamers, but I have no sympathy for cheaters
