<Redux> a home for recent returns,newbies and vets alike.

[Byel]

Hello! I've recently returned from a hiatus from EQ, i started playing back on live when Kunark was released and played through the release of EQ2. Once released i took some time off before working through WoW,Entropia Universe,ESO and many other MMOS before resurrecting my old EQ account where i re-maxed my magician before getting bored and missing the adventure and grouping mechanics of original EQ.

Since returning ive noticed many others regularly return, and struggle with getting used to the old way of play. No maps, corpse runs, being poor, not having friends,quest logs,etc. And it seems most of the guilds are built up with people who have been here for years and have requirements to enter both level and progress.

Well that's the void <Redux> wants to fill. Our goal is geared towards helping low levels get back into the game, with the hopes of re-learning and progressing forward together.Both in quests,groups and eventually raids. No demands, and no requirements beyond being a friendly and helpful player.

If this sounds intriguing to you then please see me in game to receive a invite or message me here and we can arrange to be on together.

[Kytross]

This does sound intriguing. It's the kind of guild I used to run/join back in the day.

[Captiv8]

Sounds what I am looking for. I just started playing last week. After trying some different characters I am settled on my chanter. I will look for you in game, names Ephidex in case I miss you

[Kytross]

Good to have you Ephidex. I'm joining too when we can meet up in game. It was easier back in college when I could always find time to play, forget the gpa, what does that matter?

[Byel]

Awesome Ephidex. I'll be playing alot this weekend, I definitely miss the post high school 10+ hour days of gaming. Now I'm mostly tied down to late nights and weekends lol. I will definitely keep an eye out for you and find a way for us a meet up to shoot the invite. Cya in game!

[Kidneypunch]

I would be interested in joining you mates. Just came back after a pretty long break. No longer play my other accounts. Just looking to get back to basics! Near level 16 atm and cant wait for new adventures and new friends

[Captiv8]

Just realized i spelt my name wrong. Its Ephidix. I should be on this weekend if not late tonight (Pacific time). Currently a 4 enc in Gfay. Play time is sporadic but generally on for a several hours at a time.

[Halius]

I'd be interested in joining as well. Let me know who to send a tell to, or just send me one if you see me in game!

[Kytross]

I'm still waiting to meet up with Byel in game, but I keep odd hours. 7 Druid named Aurio right now. Level is subject to change.

Looking forward to seeing y'all in Norrath

[Byel]

I'm keeping an eye out and have a list. Sorry I've been a bit tied up this week w family functions. At a baseball game now but will be playing in a couple hours most of the night and late all weekend long for sure. Hope to catch you soon

[Kytross]

Real life comes first.

[Swibble]

I'm pretty interested in this, just consider that I'm not the smartest tool in the shed and I find it kind of hard to play games for more than a couple hours at a time

My char is a level 2 iksar necro named Swibs

[Kytross]

gotta get to 19 on my druid so I can port around and invite

[Kytross]

Update: We're recruiting, especially people we play with whose company we enjoy!

This Friday, tomorrow, we plan to destroy that bastion of evil Befallen! Bind in West Freeport andearn the run because there ain't one of us level 29 yet! Let alone our Clerics!

Everybody's gonna have a good time!

[Kytross]

And everyone did have a good time! (And they ate Robin's minstrels. And there was much rejoicing!)

The raid went well. We are setting up for Saturday when we will have another guild event! We're still voting on where we go. Come join the fun!

[Captiv8]

I still been meaning to get an invite. RL has been busy as of late so typically I only play weekends right now. I ended up switching from an enchanter to necro and been having a blast. Who are those that can invite so I can keep an eye out for them? Im in Kunark right now but will be travelling once I get passed the early levels.

[loramin]

Hey, just wanted to let you guys know that I've added you to the guilds wiki page:

http://wiki.project1999.com/Guilds:Guild_List#Casual_Guilds

I only filled in the columns based on what I could find in this thread though, so you may want to update it with further information (eg. more officer names). If you're not big on wiki editing feel free to private message the updated information to me, and I'll add it for you.

[Kytross]

Thanks Loramin!

In Alphabetical order officers are:

Aurio (That's me!)
Byel (Guild Lead)

It looks like we're running Kurns this Saturday. We're still deciding. Feel free to pop over to the website at http://redux.boards.net

[jwilda]

I am also interested in joining. I have a level 8 monk named Numah.

I look forward to meeting y'all!

[Kytross]

A level and a half to 19, then I can port around and invite people.

[LilithAstaroth]

Interested =)

[leftharted]

Also just returned from the ole live days, I played kunark-PoP. Just made a troll shammy named Oipi. Also trying to get my girlfriend too indulge, however she is still new to mmos. I've gotten her to play a few, but original eq is daunting to total newbie's. Might take me awhile 8P. Otherwise, totally interested! Can wait to make new friends. Every mmo I've played since pre luclin eq has been increasingly unsociable. I remember sticking with core friends for YEARS way back then.... hope to find you guys, or new friend's, in p99!

Anyone seen an Aeiress or Goghei around? 8P Auudar and Gingerr from Quellious here.

[Kharik]

This all sounds pretty fantastic, I'd love to join up! I'm currently(trying) to work up a little druid, currently level 4 wood elf, named Dharik, hanging out in gfay. I'll be adding some of you to friends to see if I can't get in touch!

[Koh]

I've got my level 20 shaman named Kukgulano in the guild yesterday. Seems like really nice people here.

I just need to figure out how to find their forum.

[Azzelin]

I am interested in this as well, as I am also a returning EQ player from the kunark era. Wizard named Azzelin.

[jediastra]

[Byel]

Thank-you for those who have contact me via in game. Sorry to those i havent spoken too yet, i forget to keep up with this and Aurio who was, has been afk with personal stuff.

PST :D

[Hobie819]

Good evening,
Redux will be havening a guild event this next weekend, Saturday at 1PM CST.

(copied from our boards)

This Saturday, November 22nd at 1pm CST there will be a gnome race across Antonica. I know, its happened before. Here is the twist though.

This will be a team based, relay event.

Each team will consist of 3 members.

The race will begin with a lvl 1 gnome in steamfont for each team. This member will be given a baton (item) to carry with them. They will run from Steamfont to the Ocean of Tears dock.

Here, the second team member (lvl 1 human) will be waiting and must pass the baton to them. Team members must move quickly though to pass the baton off before the boat leaves, or that team will be at a severe disadvantage. The second team member will race to the North Karana Gypsy camp where the third team member lvl 1 - any race) will be waiting. Again, the baton must be passed to that third team member.

The third team member will carry the baton from North Karana to the Tox forest bridge where the race will end once the item (baton) is handed over to the race official.

The winning team will receive 500 plat for each team member (money will be distributed to the main character of the lvl 1). The second place team will each receive 100pp. The third place team will receive, well, nothing, so be one of the first two teams to cross...

As an added twist, I will be stationed along the journey in a conspicuous location. I will respond when hailed with a /say containing a question in regards to Norrath lore. If answered correctly the first time, the racer will receive a spirit of wolf. This can be a game changer if a team is behind in the race, so brush up on your lore!

Rules:

NO PORTING of any kind.. this includes gate.

Team members will all gather in Steamfont prior to the race and will group up together. Porters will be on hand to bring members to their appropriate zone prior to the race starting.

Each team must have a Redux member in it. The other two members can be from any guild or unguilded. If you are not a redux member and wish to participate please talk to a Redux member in game or post below for a hopeful pickup. Disclaimer: we are a small guild at the moment, so unfortunately we cannot accept all racers. Who is in the race is at the sole discretion of the Redux member making the team.

No team may have a pacer. Essentially, no team can have someone running next to them or meeting them along the way to receive buffs (SoW, etc...).

Racers are prohibited from receiving buffs of any kind along the way except from the lore question. While this admittedly will be difficult to enforce, please play by the spirit of the event and refrain from obtaining them...

Conclusion

If you are wanting to participate, please post below with your team (main characters) and alt names. We will be taking registrants up to the last 30 minutes before the race however it would help with the paperwork aspect of things if we knew information beforehand in regards to team composition.

Rules are subject to change.

If there are any questions, please post below or ask me in game for clarification. I am not a lawyer and I am sure things were left out above. Again though, please play to the spirit of the event, not the loopholes of the event.

[Hobie819]

Bump - for those interested in participating in the event.

[tukai1976]

I would like to join also. I just have a lvl 4 warrior and lvl 2 bard. Not sure what I want to play, but I am committed to play long term. I am CST, will that work?

[Hobie819]

Due to the lack of participation in the last event, this one will be targeted towards smaller groups of people. We will be basing future events on the participation of this one.

Thanksgiving Day Turkey Shoot

November 29th, 8PM CST until 10PM CST (or later depending on volunteers)

Targeted Audience: Teens/50+

What: This event will be a PL session in the Overthere. Great care will be taken to grab every Cockatrice (Turkey) near Warslicks Wood (and any other creature that happens to be nearby) and PL our teen members. Feast on every turkey killed.

Rewards:

Teens: Free XP

50+: 500pp for helping (volunteers are welcome as well)

To get the most of this event, please be in the OT at 8PM CST. Unfortunately due to the nature and location of the OT, there really is not a quick way to get there (no close ports, and even if ported, the journey can get you killed) so the easiest way is going on the boat and jumping before you reach the OT docks. If you are between 20-30, the XP would not be great, but you are welcome to bring alts.

[Shinko]

Starting on Friday, November 28th* and lasting until Monday, December 1st* we will be shutting down** the Project 1999 Blue*** Server to encourage a Forced Beta Test on the Velious Beta Server. We ask that all players spend their time on Beta to help complete as much testing and bug reporting as possible.


:( sorry guys

[Cecily]

Well, regardless, cockatrice turkeys made me laugh, so thanks for that.

[Hobie819]

Thanks Shinko - we had taken note of it and cancelled it on our boards, but I forgot to swing by here to cancel.

Onto next week's event =)

[frenchie43972]
