Hi everyone,

So, the new guild has been created! http://pantheonp99.guildlaunch.com/ We would love to expand it with the right people, and in order to put that crew together I thought I would be as candid as possible:

Our guild is being led by two people with proven track records of leading raids of top guilds on this server in fun environments. Those of us in the p99 community who have raided with us before can attest to this. When it comes to "getting things done", we shine.

Until Kunark comes out, I do not anticipate there being a dramatic change to the status quo of raiding guilds. If any guild will be able to shift this balance, it is Pantheon, however, I have good friends in all of the top guilds currently and have told them all that, although they are interested in essentially "putting the band back together", I do not want anyone prematurely casting their lot in with a guild that is primarily constructed for kunark dominance.

The fact is, content has been around long enough to where even casual raiders are able to take part in large scale raiding. This will change when kunark comes out and many casuals in current top guilds are not able to compete. If you are a competitor and want to be in an environment with great, successful, end-game oriented people, Pantheon is for you.

Initially, our guild will be heavily allied with Darkwind, essentially creating a cooperation with people on complimentary time zones. What does this mean for you? Well, it means you can poopsock if you want to, but you don't have to.

I wish you luck in all of your endeavors. If you think you are suited for us, if you appreciate and know our style and leadership, if you are frustrated that your guild has too many players and too much dead weight, you are heartily invited to get to know us better.

This is Mardur, co-leader of Pantheon. Karsten covered everything, but I'd like to reiterate that Pantheon is being formed by past players of P99 who dominated the raiding scene here as well as various times on live. In the beginning we will be leveling up chars that we'll need (new mains, cleric/mage/ranger bots, etc) and farming raid gear. The goal is to have a solid base by Kunark launch, which we'll hit hard and efficiently. Whether you're a returning player, new player, or have been active all along, Pantheon will most likely be a fit for you, as long as you want to dominate the Kunark raiding scene.

If you are interested or have any questions feel free to PM or /tell Karsten or Mardur.

There are some old players leveling new characters, and so if you can make a case to me on our website (http://pantheonp99.guildlaunch.com) why you are a good fit even though you are level 20, I am quite open to that.

However, and I'm not sure how to put this delicately, so I wont -- Yak I am not interested in people like you for the guild, and I will do my best to make sure that it includes only the highest quality possible based on the player base available.

Yeah I know, I just never could get down the PVE in everquest classic, it's crazy hard you know? I tried attacking this dragon and it aggroed me and I died on a raid. Ever since I've had this mental block and keep causing wipes on naggy and vox, it's totally ruined my pve credentials and I kick myself everyday remembering it. Since then I've tried to kind of cover it up by feigning illnesses before raids and tucking away in splitpaw where I can show those gnolls who are boss, ya dig?

hi folks, just a quick note -- I get quite a few tells from random people asking me "hey what is your guild all about" and "hey what are your plans" -- everything should be pretty clear in the OP as well as the few posts following. If you are curious about specific things that arent covered in this thread, go ahead and shoot tells around (I am often also on my necro, his name is Pope) and otherwise, remember that READING FIRST IS GOOD

What's going on with Pantheon now?

Less than a month from its formation, our members are now mostly 46+ and we've been making strides in the planes. We have managed to come close to completing gear sets for many of our members, while also keeping the guild lean. We are currently at a core of a couple groups of people who work well together and also share common goals. We're very successfully sticking to our original vision: putting together a guild of people who 1) enjoy playing with each other, and 2) raid efficiently and effectively. We will continue to get upgrades out of Hate, Fear, and Sky while avoiding pointlessly waiting 12+ hours for spawns, all the while positioning for the Kunark raiding scene.

If you're interested in joining us, please direct questions and/or interest to either myself or Karsten. While we are selective, all you need to become a member are the following qualities:

1) A good attitude
2) A willingness to improve and openness to constructive critique
3) Ventrilo
4) Boobs (optional but highly preferred)

thought I'd give kind of a description of what we are already up to:

growing very slow on purpose made me think we wouldnt be really even doing much before kunark -- as previously stated I expect the general activity on this server not to spike again until kunark comes out, which in turn will drastically alter the status quo.

that said, I am amazed at a couple things that we have already been able to accomplish. The first is the fact that not only are we raiding daily, but we are contributing to raids disproportionately more than our numbers suggest.

The second has to do with the general skill level of the members that we have. It is extremely refreshing to know that I dont have to micromanage people.

The third is that I really enjoy the personalities of everyone so far. It is a neat combination of high-focus when necessary and easygoing, team oriented attitudes.

So, again, whether you know Mardur and me from before or if you are relatively new, shoot us a tell if you think you'd be a good fit.

01-22-2011, 07:37 PM
Does raiding with IB/darkwind collecting their loot rots even count?

karsten
01-23-2011, 09:27 AM
to sort of speak to the previous posts, we've been primarily raiding with IB and Darkwind, but not exclusively. In general on the raids we go on, regardless of what guild we have been going with, the loots have been split up more or less in accordance with force size, meaning that if we have 7 on a raid and some other guild has got 28, then if our guys are able to swing 1/5th of the loot, they are in a good spot. Some of it would otherwise have rotted, but certainly not all -- a bit of asking around will demonstrate this to be the case.

We have had other guilds follow us in on raids, both to hate and to fear, but not the other way around. To reiterate two points: 1. doing a planar raid with seven people strikes me as silly/masochistic, and certainly not efficient, so the way we do things right now makes more sense. 2. again, I never really even thought we would be at this point already given our small numbers and relative youth of the guild.

No hate from the eclipse camp whatsoever.

People do it their way, we do it ours. All to varying results.

Really, if he was affiliated he'd know we don't want to measure dicks out here and, in general, I'd like to think our actions only serve to reinforce that fact.

Please, thedude, cease and desist. It's great that you think we're great, but karsten is a classy dude, a player with a long sterling history round here, and a mad tight homeboy of eclipse on a whole.
