The inactivity of this forum. | Thu Apr 02, 2015 11:06 pm by Burkman | It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...
I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.
I understand that people are busy these days, but it doesn't seem like they're rarely at their computer anymore. I know most of you are still dicking around with your computer. I don't know how we …

Global announcement: You're probably wondering why the buttons are weird and don't match. That's because it was the only way to fix my problem of the buttons not being there. The ones that were there before would not load whatsoever no matter what I tried. So this was the only thing I could do.
Scott has plans for a new theme in the future, so this is just temporary. |

[ Poll ] Well... those that volunteered are listed... take yer pick. |
Alright everyone... I know that in the past few months this place has been visibly dying. That aside... it's harder and harder for me to be constantly active hear as I gain new responsibilities in life. That means I need another admin for periods of time when I'm not here to solve site problems and such. As Burkman is not here... and the end of this year marks the end of his term I'm asking for volunteers. I honestly do not know who to ask to join up on this so this will be a community "trust" exercise. So just send me a PM or post here if you're interested and give some valid (well... |
ATTENTION!Hi all, I thought I would let you all know that they are wiping the database for the TOR wiki (the evil-wizards one) that I know some of us use, due to excessive spam. If you want to save your page's source codes you need to do so before Oct. 1. I do not know if they plan on reopening it afterwards. I have sent an email inquiring about the future of it. Thank you for your attention and time. Spread the word please. http://evil-wizards.org/swtor-wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page |
On behalf Scott's compulsiveness, Causa and Colla have been removed as mods and have been replaced by Meatlocker, Branch, and Banana Dealer. Congratulations, you guys. Welcome to upper management. You will be given complimentary fruit baskets and access to the executive bathrooms, which are located at the end of the staff only courtyard.
Along side the bathroom access, you now have access to the Staff lounge, which is filled with drugs, alcohol, and all the video games and books you can ask for. There's a poker table, two large fridges stuffed with booze... |
Lately, I've been seeing a lot of people bashing each other's countries and countrymen. I would very much like you guys to tone it down, please. Just stop doing it so much... it's... annoying and retarded for anyone who does so.
That is all. |
Hello everyone and welcome to the next chapter of the OT. Do your eyes all hurt? Good... builds character. Well we've officially broken ties with TOR... but we wont forget our origins. Of course I don't think we could even if we tried. I've seen many old old OT members poppin up in the past couple weeks. I'd like to welcome them to the New OT and thank those that put forth the effort to bring them... er... persuaded them to come. This announcement is about 2 weeks to late... but I cba to stay with the... |
Hello all! I would like to announce again that we are having a change of forum address at the end of the week. We are changing over to "swtorot.forumotion.com". If anyone could fix the link on the TORums and any other related sites it would be much appreciated!
As I stated before I was taking apps for admin position via PM. Well here it is... the twist. I have chosen your nominees for admin. All of YOU will chose your next admin. The criteria that I was looking for was someone who was willing to take the time to put in... |
Hello OT! Today I am announcing some big changes to our community! I'll get straight to it.
- The site will no longer be called the OTA but just the OT.
- An OTA section will remain for those in and active within the guild, but will be downsized.
- The forums may start to look a little different with added/subtracted forums and other features on the site. This will be taking place over the next week or so.
- We will still be the SWTOR OT as that is still our calling and origin.
- Matieu will be stepping down as an admin, but there will still... |
Please do not use the report abuses function... I cannot and will not help you if you use it... simply put, IT DOES NOT WORK. If you have a problem talk directly with Matieu, a mod, or myself through a PM or private chat. Thank you and have a nice day.
Admin, ~Scott | |
*LINK*Hey everyone! Thought I would let you know that there is gonna be a Guild Summit meeting between guild leaders and officers in Austin, TX. in March. They will be meeting with BW's development team and discussing the game with other guilds. So who wants to represent the OT? :D NOTE: - Quote :
- *Must be 21 or older to attend. Guild leaders selected...

The long awaited OT Empire was formed on the twin spears for all of your Empire characters to join. If you'd like to join, whisper Liago (Wilbourn) or Valin (me) and we'll send you an invite to join the guild. Additionally, for those unaware, we are official allies with Pax Republica. It's been a great start to our guilds time in TOR. For those of you not yet with the game, we await you and hope all is well. Can't wait to quest with you. For those with the game, here's to a successful year. Happy new year to you all, hope all goes well.

For those of you who were not in chat you might be noticing some changes to the site. Mat and I have made some updates with the very soon release of TOR!
Changes: - Team forums have been taken down. - Recruitment forums added. - Forums and Categories have been rearranged. - The News forums have been converted to blog format. Making the site a little more professional for guild use. - FAQ has been added to the site and can now be viewed. - New portal poster! Enjoy!
That's it for now... but be aware of further updates as... |
*Clarification: Pax Republica is using the term "Friendly" atm, which means we're not official allies, but friends who will work together, and after further interaction be called friends. Keep that in mind.
You all know our server disadvantage in numbers, Empire to Republic, I mean, so I've reached out and made us some allies in the Republic side, this way you guys in early access should have some more friends to reach out to in warzones and such, and if you get to Nar Shadda you guys can have some more allies to walk around with you in case of Imperials.... |
All right guys, so we'll be assigned to the Twin Spears server. It's a PvP US EST Server, and one where, from what I've gathered, we're one of the largest guilds. Unfortunately, it appears we won't be going in with any of our pre-launch allies, but we'll make do. When you guys start playing the game, you'll see a small flag next to the Twin Spears server, and you guys will just click to join there and an invite will be waiting to join our Guild. If you're not yet in our Guild, just go to that server and apply, Wilbourn, being the officer who will be playing from the 13th, will... |
Okay everybody, December 1st, it's TOR month. Finally. So the Council had a meeting recently, and we'll be doing some new things before the game starts, nothing too big. I'll try to get to them all in this message, and I hope you all read this, because I'm almost 100% sure that everybody active on this site is a member of our Guild (Scott being a maybe). Now then, first of all, our Guilds constitution (housed on our TOR Thread) is going to be revamped. If anybody wants to read that B will be updating it today. We'll also be creating a thread where everybody can specify what Class... |
Hello everybody, as some of you may know, the TORums were recently updated with the final step of having our Guild ready for pre-launch, which would confirm that when the game goes live, the OT Alliance will be officially transferred into the Game. The main requirement needed for this was having four of our members pre-order, which I'm pleased to say we did. The OT Alliance is all set, and on December 20th, the OTA will be an official Guild playing TOR. (That's good.)
We currently only have 37 people registered on our prelaunch Guild, so I encourage any of you that... |
Hello everybody . Our Council Member, Grimeth, has just brought something to my attention, a new update for the Old Republic. The Guild Testing Program. What is this you might be asking? Well, this is a new Update by Bioware that will allow any Guilds registered in the Pre-launch Guild Program with over 10 members (That's us) to be considered for Beta Testing. Thta means, everybody in our Guild will get a Beta Invite, which will allow all of us to go on the same Beta Server as well.
(Here... |
This is the new site staff listings. It is not final as some may refuse their post... which is fine. I don't want to hear any whining.
Admin: - Scott - Matieu
Mods: - Buddy - Causa - Vase - Colla
Chat Mods: - Daroska - Wilbourn - Scott - GSG
Thank you all for your support. If you have questions feel free to PM me or Mat.
~Admin |
Well it's that time folks... get ready for another revamp of the site. I'm sorry to those that want to keep the Skyrim theme... BUT TOR CALLS! Anywho... from now to the next couple days the site will be seeing a change. So don't freak out when everything is changing. The forums will keep it's current structure (as to not confuse folks all over again and I like it). Only the colors and pics will be changing. Leave any comments or feedback here... no promises I will heed or read them tho. >.>
I'll also prob be in chat alot... I will be asking for opinions at some point. |
Remade Per Request
Well Empire Players, your questions have finally been answered. The Council has created the Imperial half of the OT Alliance. All of you Empire players can apply there to join. One of our Oldest (And newest) council members, Grimeth, will be leading the Empire half. We're sure he will do a good job representing our Imperial Half. As we update the Empire half with more info I'll update you all on it. And one last thing, here's the link.http://... |
Hello there Everybody. The other day, our member Branch PMed me about Guild Website Awards, a fan-made competition to decide which Guilds have the best sites. I looked into it further, and found that it looked very interesting, though they didn't allow us to sign up as an undecided guild for the competition. Regardless, I've been talking with Scott about this as well, and he agrees that this competition could be a good idea for the Guild, and he would be glad to help in revitalizing the sites look. I believe a quote from Scott is in order then... "So... don't freak out when... |
Welcome everyone, to the new OT Alliance forums. We aren't up to speed just yet, but don't worry we'll get their quickly. My goal is to get this place up and runnin so you all can have a good time with smooth forum use. Any questions leave them here for now or in the OT recruitment thread on TOR. Moderation and such will be set up within the week. I need to talk to leadership about how they want to do this. Which reminds me... PM ME LEADERSHIP! I've been talking with Branch but everyone's been busy. Enjoy... ^_^

Hello Everybody, I'm proud to say that the OT Alliance has had its first interview for a professional site, Yufmelt.com. I was contacted by a writer at Yufmelt who asked to do an interview with me about the OT Alliance. After talking with the Council, I agreed to do the interview, and I'm proud to say that it has now been published on Yufmelt.com. If your interested, here is the link to the article: http://yufmelt.com/?p=781 |
After some thought I've decided to downsize the amount of admins on site. I would like to thank Causa for his support, input, and work as admin. Enjoy your retirement sir! Your face will be carved into Mt. Admin! You will continue to be known as Admin Causa... ~Scott |
I will be revamping the site a little tonight and possibly the entirety of the week. So... don't freak out when everythin' starts a changin'. Thank you. ~Papa Scott |
Hello All, as some of you may know, our VP election which didn't go so smoothly, forced us to close down the elections, and let the council decide what to do. We have come up, and agreed, on the following changes to the council. First, JediBantha will be promoted to Vice President. Additionally, Daroska, Causa, and Vaseline will be promoted to Council Members, if they accept. That's all for now.
~Captain Kirk. Er, Matieu. |
Hello there! As you all probably know, the guild is in need of some new members of our council, as our VP was recently removed, and half of our council is inactive as well . On a better note, Meat, Grim, and I have been talking and decided what we're going to do. At least, to decide VP. After a vote, we've come up with a few candidates to run for Vice President in an election, where all of you will be able to vote... |
Now that this site is unquestionably a new OT Home, obvious with all the new people joining us here, but we still have to remember that the OT Alliance Guild is still here as well, even if its not as important as the actual OT. Well getting to the point of this, to help me keep track of who is an actual member of the guild and who is just here for our amazing OT, there is now a new section under your Profile to specify if you are a member of the OT Guild or not. Please, go to your profile and... |
In more recent news (Nobody's posted news here in two months?) the OT Alliance has been hard at work (At least, the council members have.) After some time, we have decided on a system so that we may better advance our guild in The Old Republic. The Team System. I could go into an explanation of what this is, but better yet, go to our sites forums and scroll down to the new Team Section, and look in the Imperial Section for my explanation. (There used to be one in the Republic section too before somebody deleted it... no names... see sig for more details....) On another note,... |
With the closure of the OT on the SWTOR forums... we will be hosting the OT (or at least those willing to come) untill further notice. Branch and Matieu... I suggest you mark guild members, because I'm sure of the many coming they wont be joining the guild necessarily. It might be pertinent to make a separate category for the guild members and rearrange the forums a little. It's an unfortunate event, and even though we have our differences I'm sure no one wants to see the OT burn completely. Well most of us at least... Best of wishes everyone. :D

Febuary 14, 2011 at 6:00 PM ET we will have our first celebration here at the OT Alliance Website!!! | |
