View Full Version : New guild, even an option?

Been talking to a few of the people I lvled up with on the mage about starting a new guild. I've always kinda been an Az fan but, tbh I dunno if I have what it takes to hang with them or even really share the common interest of just stopping and griefing nihi through pvp alone. I'm not true blue but I def want some pixels including epics for my friends and I. We're not talkin vp loot or anything like that, just some basics as a core group of friends. VS/CT might be our biggest targets ever.

This guild would be for players in the 46+ range. Obv some wont stay, but we're not lookin to be a feeder guild.

Some concerns:Grief. This could be a problem. Especially considering we would be open to negotiations for epic spawns, perhaps exchanging the loot for the epic pieces (once a month) with whoever was going to be downing the mobs, az or nihi.

Lack of experience, I'm no eq wizard by any means, but I am pretty good at mediating conversations between various parties. So, we would need a raid leader or someone with exp in all things eq. I don't know if there is anyone in our crew currently to fill this role, perhaps, if you know me on the reg and are interested in this role. pst

Same thing in pvp, I know the fundamental basics of pvp in video games, we all do. But having a hero out there to MA and make the calls is pretty huge imo. Also looking for someone to fill this role. pst

Public relations, in this environment we're gonna need someone on the reg to both defend and promote our various endeavors with a sharp wit and thick skin. Are you this person? pst

Labeling us the #3 guild, that's not what we're goin for. The real competition on this server is the big 2 guilds at the top. We just want to get epics and run shit like hole, seb, ect. Small time fun for friends.

Someone to pick up the slack next summer, I really only have about 5-6 months of dedicated time to put in on the server, the 8-12 hours a day needed to maintain guild relations and keep the guild moving. Anyone interested in this? pst

Other thoughts: We might not be exclusively 46+, there are a lot of new players on red now and I could see bringing some of them along for the ride. But there are other leveling guilds out there, this would only be a small part of our overall identity.

Witness protection program, I don't think we'll require voip, so rerolls from the current cesspool might have a chance at forging a new identity for themselves. Toxic players or drama mamas will be booted with no warnings. I've led a few guilds and failed a number of times because I didn't learn this till it was too late, for the good of the guild, you must purge the assholes.



Some info about me: I have lots of time to play every day, no family to speak of. Isn't this enough? :D I've been in mmos since kunark and lead a number of lvling and rp guilds on WoW from vanilla to tbc, my highlight is probably a WoW progression guild from WC to Kara. Was a lot of fun because we were purists and only traded within guild from items we found and/or crafted.

To those that know me I'm a pretty chill dude to roll with and don't really have the god complex so prevalent on red99 today. For me it's about fun and immersion.

I have no idea if this guild will take off or not, a few of us just started talking about it in the last week or so and it seems to be generating more interest. Who knows, it just might work.

So, if you are interested in any of those roles above or just generally interested in a guild comprised of the other guys, let me know. Looking to make this happen in the next two weeks if it looks like it has a legitimate chance.

Guild as many noobs as possible, then cull the people who are unteachable and the jerks. Sooner or later you'll have the guild you're looking for.

If you are trying to recruit level 50+ you are basically asking to take players from the other established guilds already on the server. What guilds on here are you expecting to take players from?

Aim Chat
Fair Fighters
Azrael
Nihilum
Circle of Tyrants


Good luck.

Officers you trust and a connection to your members.

Also remember its their guild, not yours.

A new guild is always possible.


Best example I can think of is A-Team on blue.

Started as an EXTREMELY small guild. Has grown to a force, focuses on talent, not mass.

They focus on taking large targets with the minimum force.

If any large guild had the quality they have (combined with the desire to sock, which they oppose for obvious reasons), no one would stand a chance, imo.

Expecting a number new players to hit that 46+ range (might lower to 35+) in the next few weeks, there are a lot of new players on red actually.

We might only have a small consistent group of 6-10 players to start and keep it at that till we need more.

That is a reasonable expectation, and I think starting at 35+ is wise.

Does seem reasonable, goin 35+, after mm, it does get tougher to grp and exp. Though I have seen lots of 20-30 and 30-40 and even 40-50 grps lookin for more, these grps also seem to constantly advertise where they are grouping at lol
