Classic Progression Guild

[Talawen]

I'd just like to gauge the interest of a classic progression guild for this server. Kunark and its equipment will be off limits until classic mobs (Inny, CT, Phinny, Naggy, Vox) are downed. Here are a few rules/ideas I am toying with.

- Casual raiding guild with mild RP.
- Fresh characters only. I'd like for everyone to be tagged before they are level 10.
- Discouraging twinking/PLing and of course only classic gear allowed.
- 50 level cap (possibly 52 for reasons I'll discuss later)
- One char per guild.

I just want to put this out there, this will be a casual guild and alot of the rules and stuff will be self regulated. I do not recommend joining if this is going to be your main for awhile. I am not even sure if there will be enough people interested to do this thing legit. Anyhow I am working on getting the guild created and get the rules set in stone.

If interested comments/suggestions/complaints/and trolling welcome.

I posted this in guild chat as well but realized that it would probably be better here. See you in game.

You gonna be stuck longer on classic then we currently are with Kunark with those classic mob requirements.

[sdp00888]

Yea CT would be very hard to get unless your in a raiding guild.

[Erati]

dont listen to Thulack, i love this idea and you can def get some Naggy Vox opportunties quite easy if this works out as you planned

enjoy the adventure!

[Raavak]

Yea CT would be very hard to get unless your in a raiding guild.Well, they could easily be a Class R guild, and now that everyone plays nice...

[Talawen]

I've actually thought about the current raiding scene and I have a few ideas that could make this work. If we have too we will ask to join raids on these targets. I think Naggy/Vox will be doable for sure but yeah we may need to ally ourselves with another guild in order to get in on some classic CT/Inny kills. This guild is for people looking to start fresh or experience classic everquest and progression one more time.

All in all it is to have fun and perhaps bring some people back into enjoying this game. I think itll be a nice break for some who have invested a lot of time into Kunark.

If you are interested we are going to need all classes but specifically bards, clerics, tanks, and enchanters. We are also going to need tradeskillers for that classic banded and jewelry.

Lastly current guild names being considered are <Classic>, if that is taken then possibly <Exodus>.

See ya under the newb lift!

[sdp00888]

Thats a badass idea! there was a similar guild on the eqmac server!

[Swish]

iksar characters are off limits? what you reckon to that Derubael? :p

Ofc, its time we put Human Monk back on the map.

My son and I and a few other people years ago on live sort of did this for a bit lol. Not a true guild per say but close. It was great for awhile. Wow this shits classic we would say. Well it got pretty old pretty quick having so so gear and dying a hell of a lot more, and not being able to hit a bull in the ass with the crappy weapons we had with no haste item, etc, etc.

We did it for like 3 months and that was the end of that. :eek: It was not fun anymore, just a lot of work. Like how many times has that poor Enchanter died this week?? Glad I have a FD Monk lol. I bet she wishes the Cleric was high enough for a 96% rez. Oh I forgot the Enchanter is always dead when C drops and we have a HELL of a long time before she gets Clarity I let alone II. Shit! :p So no rez for you I am oom. No clicky remember.

But I do like the idea I think. Well not sure. Well maybe. :D

[Talawen]

So far no word from a GM about the guild creation. If interested you are welcome to PM me.

So if I want to play Iksar I cant join? I mean I would like to join, but I dont play other races...

I think you should change it to any class/any gear, just no twinking. I mean whats the difference? Its still going to be hard and challenging.

If you change it Im in with my Iksar monk.

[bOONDOGGLE]

Hell yeah, its like a server-wipe guild.

Starting over from scratch, no twinking, no PL'ing. Only old-world loot.

I love it.

[odiecat99]

it sounds pretty fun but I would have to tweak it at some point because when everyone else has tons of shit I also want tons of shat

[Agecroft]

Sounds like a great idea. I'd be up for it!

[Talawen]

The guild <Classic> was created over night. I will be writing up a charter later today and posting it in the guild forums. Right now some of the simple rules are old world only, classic gear only. Since I am a ranger, if you want to be tagged you are going to have to run to Gfay :) until I get around. I prefer newer chars but I will take anyone who is 1-20. See you in game!

To the iksar post, yea sorry for now I am going to keep it pretty classic. I understand you only like iksars but I think allowing them will be like a gateway drug into other unclassic things.

[Aata]

Good luck with this, it sounds like a really fun idea! :)

[Talawen]

<Classic> an old world progression guild on Project 1999.
There are some of us who missed the oppourtunity to progress through classic with a level cap of 50 and gear that is completely overshadowed by Kunark vendor drops. There are also some of us who just enjoy the old world content. And lastly some people just want to do something a little different. Make the game a littler harder, play the game with some restrictions. This guild is a chance to re-live classic with like-minded people.
Anyone is welcome to join but right now we are only taking people from levels 1-20.
Guidelines
- Level 50 level cap (possibly 51 or 52 in the future)
- Kunark zones and drops are off limits. This includes epics or any other MQable item that has something to do with the expansion.
- Mild roleplay and all I mean by this is no silly names like Portbot or whatnot. <Classic> will strive to emulate how it was on live.
- Moderate twinking is okay, just dont over do it. Luckily there isnt really overpowering items in classic like Fungi so I dont think this will be an issues.
- Grouping with non guildies is fine but try to always help a guildie out when possible.
- Joking around is okay, trolling is not. Keep conversations entertaining but let's not try to make anyone feel bullied or uncomfortable.
- More to follow if need be.

So no Iksars, but twinking is cool? I lost respect for your plan. There is no real reason to exclude Iksars, not like i will be able to get uber kunark gear when starting naked, but since you allowed twinking i guess i get it...except i dont :p racist :p

[Derubael]

blasphemy. does not sound legit.

i'm going to turn your entire guild into iksars.

[Talawen]

When I said moderate twinking I guess I should have elaborated. No pp or gear from your own chars should be used. Last night for example I was in all cloth and a rusty halberd. Someone made me some banded and gave me a spear. I dont see anything wrong with that. Now running around with full rubi, fbss, mithril 2 handed sword with djarns ring, ya thats a little excessive. Again I am not going to be a nazi about this, I think we are all adults here and are able to self regulate.

I've been in gfay and I must say its very easy for a new player to make money selling CB belts. Anyone starting fresh could very well make about 100pp by level 10 if they sell the belts, bonechips, and bat wings.

Simple answer, you are starting fresh. If someone gives you gear or you are good at smooth talking then so be it, it was legit in classic and it will be legit here.

[Talawen]

Don't make me send you back to Cabilis with your tail tucked in between your legs :)

[Mirana]

You must be new here :)

Just kidding, I really like your idea, I may get on board.

[Varren]

I'd like to join up! I'm thinking enchanter as I simply love the class. Nevermind that I already have one at level 35. I'll send you a tell in-game if/when I see you.

[doeda]

I love this idea!! did this on Prexus before Velious launched and all we did was slay Vox/Naggy for ourseleves/community

Just remember, no Breeze until Kunark. That will seriously hinder you getting into non-guild groups until 29.

And if you're going to be serious about it, nobody should receive Breeze, either.

I've thought about that and still undecided. For now I'll let each individual decide whether or not its fair. For instance, I do not believe in the hybrid penalty. If it were velious I would not mind it being off. I also think halflings should be able to make rangers/pals and gnomes being able to make pal/sks and if those options were available I'd allow them.

Definitely no to traveling to kunark and getting the spell. If someone passes by and casts it on u i see no problem since all it is is a weaker version of Clarity which would be allowed.

[Nytch]

So any enchanter that is in the guild can not have breeze in their spellbook, def not making a chanter now haha

[Agecroft]

That's not what he said.

[Talawen]

I dont see breeze being game breaking. its cool u just cant traverse the great ocean to get it. if somehow it was smuggled onto the main lands and you acquire it, I will turn a blind eye.

[Talawen]

Itll be interesting to see rogues without epics, rangers without woodsman staffs, and tanks without fungis tho!

[Trebeh]

So if i am running thru a zone and a weapon is rotting and i loot it i can use it?

[Talawen]

So if i am running thru a zone and a weapon is rotting and i loot it i can use it?

yes, just use common sense. if you could do it in classic its probably okay. i am not going to be a nazi about this, this is a game after all. as long as its not a kunark item you are alright in my book.

[Coridan]

I would be up for this.
