What the future brings '17

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE TRIBE! BEST WISHES FROM YOUR ALPHA AND FROM VENERATED ELDER ARVAMEA!

Hello brothers and siters of the Tribe. Im sure you are busy, but please take a moment of your time to read this. It's been a whole year when I wrote a small summary of our (then young) guild. Did something changed since then? Plenty!

I won't bother you about how we started, as I wrote about it in the same post a year ago and after the celebration of our Great Hunt. What I want to write is, how time passes and how we are still the same, but different. Even now, we have about 111 members of this guild, one can say that we only got 20 new members throughout the year? No. Thanks to quarterly "Purges" we have been making sure that we keep only the active players within our ranks. And you know what? It works! When 2016 kicked off our (then known) PvP event Blood Hunt attracted roughly about 0 to 2 players. Right now, everytime we host the (now known) PvP/PvE event Eternal Hunt always have something to go around! It's the little thing like that that has changed us over the year. Im am grateful that many of the most active players of 2016 were also one who were active within the guild in the 2015. I dare to say that one of the reasons why we're still together is the fact, that we treat ourselves as a family. I've seen guilds rise and fall all because people could not get along. Sometimes the little things matter, like calling ourselves brothers and sisters of the Tribe or giving a *HOWL* when a new members joins the guild is all that gives them a good first impression, thus they give us a greater credit of trust and after a while, they know they have found their place.

Now, thanks to One Tamriel, the guild only expands! Not only we managed to perform our first Ebon Fang Tournament (which @Ayleen1412 won, not yelding to anyone) but there are more things in store for 2017:

Houses - YES! YES! YES! They're almost here! Finally, the guild can have a place on their own without any trolls or bystanders interrupting our meetings. with 750 000+ gold stored in our guild bank we're bound to get the biggest and the best house!

Huntsman's Feast - Again, our werewolf themed Christmas is coming back again! As always, more info will be held in the future!

Trials - Even though we tried to perform at least one 100% Bloodmoon Tribe Trial, we always had some issues that resulted in not having a one. Hopefully, and by seeing new, fresh and active players, 2017 will result in breaking the curse :)

Moon Raffles - By the second half of '16 Moon Raffles were gone, but by popular demand on our Moots, they will back and better than ever!

And much, much more!

On a personal note: there were times when I got overwhelmed by real-life issuses unrelated to the guild that pissed me off so hard that I wanted to just throw away everything and not worry about maintaining the guild as a result. But then, when I logged into the game and saw all the responses and the positive vibe on our guild chat, I knew I was in the right place and would not dare to leave you guys alone. You, brothers and sisters are my strenght to run the Tribe when in doubt. So once again, I salute to you! It is my honor to lead you and Bloodmoon Tribe! Blessed are you ;-)

2016 was a great year for the Tribe. Let's make 2017 even better!
