Terenas Guild Tabard

[Treesh]

Two guild members have asked about changing the tabard.  Here is the partial text of my reply:
"I am reluctant to change the tabard design for several reasons.
1. It was designed by Sir_Die who has been a member for a long time.
2. Sir_Die had actually proposed several different designs, and we voted on them.
3. Gnollguy, the first guild master of the Lurkers on Terenas likes the tabard. He has written the following post on these forums. "The Terenas Lurker tabard is brown with a golden totem. It rocks muchly."
These are the basic choices:
Leave it alone?
Change the color?
Change the symbol?
42?

I would like to keep the gold totem and keep it a brown. Browns are a nice neutral color and will go with many outfits. On Stormrage, while the tabard looks nice, I frequently can't wear it on many of my characters simply because it clashes with far too many outfits. We all want Mogo looking her best. :D

It is also rather unique to have a brown color. If I see a brown color, more often than not that means it's a random Lurker sighting, which I always enjoy and put a smile on my face. :) What can I say? It doesn't take much to keep me happy. ;) On Stormrage, the tabard isn't quite as unique, neither ours nor the Basiner's tabard. And for the life of me, I can't remember what a CA tabard looks like. I mainly notice those sightings because I move the mouse around and can read quickly when I flash hover an Avarice member.

Maybe changing the color of the border to a gold that matches the totem would work. I still like SirD's design that we voted on so long ago, but I'm not so stubborn that I'm going to ignore others' opinions, especially the newest cadre of folks. Tweaking is good. Completely ditching that design wouldn't make it feel quite like the Lurkers guild anymore. We've had that tabard since before we had any level 60s so I'd like to keep as much of that feel of the tabard as we can.

Please note: Nothing in this post is supposed to be negative about any other tabard on Stormrage. I'm not saying anything about those other tabards need to be changed. I also don't think our tabard on Terenas needs to be changed, but I'm not going to completely alienate our newcomers (who make up the majority of active players over there now) over something as silly as this. Terenas has been my home for a long time now (first day of release Mogo was born) and I want the others to feel welcome in their new home as well. If tweaking the tabard will help with that, I think we can do that. :)
