Guild 5 is now Live

It’s been days, weeks, months, and years in the making, but the Guild is finally back. Are we better than ever? Not yet, but we’re headed in the right direction. I’ll try to recap where we stand, so forgive me if this material is old news.

Guild 5 is the latest iteration of the Guild. In the past, you’ve paid about $35 for the year and got a few goodies (and a few unkept promises…sorry). For Guild 5, you pay $13.50 for a LIFETIME membership ($10 for membership, $3.50 to mail you your membership card once we have them finished).

Your $10 will get you a membership card, access to the Guild Site, and some discounts on merch. When the Guild 5 CD is finished, which is still a ways away, you’ll be able to purchase it for a nominal fee (like $10 or so). We hope to also put out an online magazine for Guilders, called Thirsty Plants, at some point in the future.

How do you sign up? Head over to The Guild page at Caedmonscall.com. Click Register Now! to give us all your information. (Your personal info will only be used for our gain if the band breaks up and Cliff has to resort to selling timeshares to put bread on the table). Complete all of the registration information and ‘continue’ to submit.

Once you’ve submitted your registration info, you will be taken to the Guild Store. This is where you purchase your Lifetime Guild Membership. A lifetime Membership will automatically be placed in your shopping cart. I suggest you immediately Checkout so as not to combine this order with other orders. You can buy stuff in a few minutes.

When you go to check out, you’ll have to create an account at the Caedmon’s Store. This is different than your Guild Login. Go ahead and create the account so that you can come back and buy stuff whenever. Once you’ve created an account and logged in, finish your purchase. YOUR GUILD ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED UNTIL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.

So to recap, in order to activate your Guild Membership, you need to do 2 things:

1. Register for the Guild at caedmonscall.com
2. Purchase the Guild Membership from the online store.

If you do these two things together, you’ll be golden. If you registered and paid and do not have access to the Guild Site, email me at guild-at-caedmonscall.com and i’ll check into it and get you squared away.

DO NOT find the Guild Membership in the store without registering and purchase it. That will just give me a headache.

One cool perk to being an early Guild Member? You’ll be able to purchase Guild 2 and Guild 3 CDs for $5 each! We’ll be making these available to the public soon and raising the price, but for now we will be offering these to Guild members for a very discounted rate. The web store price still says $10 as of this moment, so hold off on those purchases until we can update the store to the $5 rate. And if you’re in Guild 5 and just paid $10 for either CD, prove it to me and i’ll discount you the $5.

Ok, this is way too long. If you’re on any type of CC mailing list, you’ll probably be getting a similar email to this from the band very shortly.

have a great weekend everyone!
