We are an old unit, veterans of many wars. We have elected to return to active duty in Mechwarrior Online, to fight for the rights and sovereignty of the Capellan Confederation. We have a great deal of experience in online games, and for most of our decade and a half existence in online gaming we haven't taken too many serious steps to be competitive or be a community hub. Now, in the new era of the Inner Sphere we have found the gumption to do so, and this blog will be our muster point for the many battles to come!
Purpose
The Gatekeepers are in Mechwarrior Online to create a new order for House Liao. We will work with newcomers to help them learn, and foster a friendly atmosphere in which our team can grow and prosper. We will be participating in community events on Mechwarrior Online and host our own campaigns and events from time to time as well.
House Liao Gatekeepers began life as a unit as an easy-going, relaxed and open environment. Those days are long gone. The Gatekeepers were asked, and overwhelmingly answered that they wanted a competitive mil-sim unit. Thus, we have adopted the harder mindset and attitude that pervades us today.
For those of you unfamiliar with Virtual Military Units, please have a look here. There is a chain of command, and it must be followed. There are protocols and plans for everything, including necessary contingency measures. We have a doctrine that is deeply rooted in both real world armor tactics and the Battletech lore for House Liao.
Our unit is also a roleplay unit. When you are in Purvo Actual, with the Gatekeepers - it is NOT just a game. These are your Liao brothers, and only by working together in a professional manner can we hope to protect the Confederation from the depredations of the Federated Suns and the Clans.
The Gatekeepers community is deeply rooted in roleplaying, and we have brought that aspect to Mechwarrior Online with us. We are very serious about our faction and it's history, and will be diving head on into Battletech lore. We'll move our members with tales of heroic valor, and our campaigns will become the stuff of legend!
Communications
We use a variety of communication tools, including Facebook and this blog. You can reach us on Twitter as well. Our TeamSpeak3 server is our voice server, and has a few other capabilities as well. As well as these, the House Liao forum for MechWarrior Online is our main pipeline to the masses. We are in constant communications far better than any separate forum could allow us, given the disparity in time zones and activity time. Be involved with as many of these as you can, and wear your nameplate proudly.
To Apply
Fill out the Apply Now! box to the right and let us know your in-game name and how to contact you. Make sure your allegiance is to House Liao! You can also check out our Recruitment Nexus on the MWO forums for more information geared toward recruits joining our company.
Restrictions
Gatekeepers do not drop with non-Liao except in the very rare case of certain allied Kurita and Marik units. The L.C.C. does not hire mercenaries under any circumstances. Non-Liao in our TS will be removed unless their presence is approved by special permit.
Our channels are heavily monitored during peak times. Any MechWarriors present in the TS without the proper credentials WILL be approached by Gatekeepers for identification, including affiliation and reason for visiting Vientiene. For many members, this approach this is the first step to recruitment, so no need to expect the worst. Our members are quite friendly - perhaps overly so.
Keep in mind, if you hang out too much we will try to keep you.
