Bloodline VG Want's You! Our Doors Are Open

I don't think it will have escaped many peoples notice that CoV is very quiet at the moment.

One of the upshots of that seems to be that some of the smaller VG's out there are all but dead and some of the more dedicated players are suffering as a result of having no one to team with.

Well, your prayers are answered. I've just had a belated spring clean in Bloodline and managed to open up several spots for anyone who is looking for an active VG. Here's some info about us:

- Bloodline has been running on CoV since day one and is currently the 6th highest prestige earning VG on Union.

- We have a dozen or so level 50's and a lot of players within touching distance of 50 but are a little light on the lower levels. We're looking to recruit a mixture of both but will particularly be looking for those under lvl 30

- As can be expected from our prestige position, we have a fully functioning base with all the mod cons. Enhancement storage is over flowing, we have ridiculous amounts of salvage, TP's to all zones, medical facilities and so on.

- On the design side, i'm no interior designer and someone with a more creative flourish is welcome to actually make it a bit more homely. Unless you're in your two week trial period, everyone has base editing rights and the only restrictions I impose are that you don't delete functional items and if you make any huge renovations such as moving rooms, you just let someone know first.

- We operate on trust. We don't have a strict hierarchy or dictatorship like some of the other big VG's and nearly all our members have similar SG privileges. When making decisions about things, everyones opinion is valued and welcome.

- We've worked very hard on our coalitions. We have E.V.I.L, Demons & Vengeful Spirits and all 5 of the 1 AT coalition VG's as well as our two alt VG's and I can gurantee you'll get teams at any level within the coalition.

- We have some of the most helpful members in the game. One of our biggest requirements is that people work as a group and help out other members whenever needed. If you need a respec or want to do an SF, you only have to let me know and I'll arrange a team for it. If you're stuck on a mission and need a hand, we have a very busy global channel and someone will always drop what they're doign and switch toons to help.

- Our Global channel. This is something i'm most proud of. All members of the VG are on this channel as well as the members of our sister SG on CoH and I don't think i've ever seen less than 20 people on there. It's awash with banter at all times and we have some real veterans of the gaem on there for any questions you may have.

- We don't force prestige farming. Yes, we like people to play in VG mode and the reward for that is that one of the higher levels will always scrape up some inf to fund SO's for you but it is entirely voluntary as we have the luxury of several very dedicated players who cover our rent and make sure we're making progress in that regard.

- We're proud of our place in the community. One thing I will not tolerate in the VG is declarations of uberness. Yes, we are proud of our group and what we've achieved. I'm proud that i'm one of the three founders of the Union Leaders channel and that we were one of the first to spawn Caleb and the first to spawn the Kronos Titan for CoV, I'm proud of the fact I've run over 50 respec SF's. However, everything we're proud of are not things we've done for the VG but things we've done for the community. It's very rare we have 'VG only' events and I always encourage our members to be assets to the game and these achievements refelect that. We didn't keep the Kronos Titan to ourselves but offered it to all villains, I've run respecs for other SG leaders to help some of their new low levle members do it, we worked on trying to spawn Caleb with and for the community(very annoying considering the hours put in to find out it was bugged!)

So, if you're in a VG that's suffering because of the slump and is on it's last legs or are in one that just doesn't seem to offer what to you want, here is the chance to join a VG that may suit you.

As ever, I can be reached on @kinslayer at almost anytime in the game or by PM on this forum and I look forward to hearing from you.

But seriously, Bloodline are a cracking bunch of helpful players, and part of a great coalition.

Well, after being the first VG to appear in VG spotlight, the remaining places got snapped up pretty quickly.

I've cleared out a few more of the less active players but have to say I don't think we'll be recruiting for a little while once those are taken so if you want in, now is probably the time to get in touch on @kinslayer.

We've also just done a complete overhaul of our base. Previously, it was Tech and designed to be as much of a pain to actually raid against as possible with obstructions everywhere, item's blocked, line of sight broken where possible, etc.

The upshot of that was that it was a pain to move around in and ugly as sin

After a bit if a rethink and some SG discussions, we've decided that although we still want a raid ready base and one that can be defended reasonably well, we also want one that looks great and has plenty of PvE use as well.

We're currently up to the 4th plot size, turbine generator, secure TP room to all zones, all workbenches, insp vendor, insp storages and SO storage(over 100 lvl 53 SO's in there at last count) and plenty of turrets for defence.

i have to admit im a bit jelous ive havent recieved any word regarding the VG Spotlight submission i made, but i guess its more of use in the 'smaller' VGs that need 'help' recruiting

Or it could just be that we like our members to show a bit of desire and initiative by seeking us out for a trial, rather than sending blind E-mails or tells to them offering them spots in the VG hey Death (Yes, I did get one the other day on one of my new alts from you)

I must admit it is a tad annoying getting players who want to be in 'an active VG' when they aren't particularly active themselves though!

I also received one of these blind tells from Dr Death. I promptly told him where to shove it ;D

Well i probably see that as being proactive myself. Funny none the less but doing so ensures the sg always has its numbers up.

I would be interested in joining a good VG!! I'm new to CoV and a little clueless (only lvl 9) but really enjoying myself. If I could be considered for a slot then I would be greatful.

Thanks,
