Static Group

[eqravenprince]

Thinking of starting a new character, would love a static group or even duo/trio to play a couple nights a week. Would like to not twink and earn gear. Anyone interested in discussing?

Green or Blue?

I'm interested in starting a Rogue or a Cleric (on Green) and would be game.

[Shourty]

Are you going to have racial restrictions? I don't like restrictions so much, but I do like a dedicated group.
I took the game off my computer a few months ago and may put it back to only play with this group.
I'm really old so can play almost any time.

[eqravenprince]

Green and no restrictions. I'm currently playing a char named Horri only level 5 dark elf sk female, send me a tell in game we can discuss further.

[eqravenprince]

Let me know what you create, Rogue or Cleric. Name Race Class.

[damstraight4]

I'm interested as well. I have a level 5 DE Enchanter on Green named Selise. Trying to level but prefer to play in a group. I can also play another class if needed.

[eqravenprince]

What nights and hours do each of you have to potentially play? I'll pick 2 probably and maybe 2 hours. Weekends I will leave completely open.

I am available 7pm-10pm Monday through Thursday Central Standard Time. Friday-Sunday, I usually have a lot more time to play, but schedule can be very random due to what my family is doing.

[damstraight4]

Basically same for me except more like 8pm - 10pm window. Hasn't happened yet but work could delay my free time to start, but that's when it is open for me.

I'd be interested in trying this to see how it goes. I've never done it before, but I've had the itch to play EQ for a bit. This is my first character on Green and I want to take a new route to my usual play style, so I'd love to try this out.

I feel like a solid group of 3 can go quite far, even 2 can duo well but I like the grouping aspect of EQ so the more the merrier.

[eqravenprince]

Green or Blue?

I'm interested in starting a Rogue or a Cleric (on Green) and would be game.

You want to play the cleric, since we have an enchanter.

[eqravenprince]

Ok, I decided to go with female dark elf necromancer named Emas. I thought I would do druid, but I already have a 50 druid. I think Necro can fill many roles. We have a female dark elf enchanter named Selise. Maybe Cleric or Rogue, depends on what JDAm0nk chooses. And not sure what Shourty will play.

We'll be playing Tuesday and Thursday's 8-10pm.

[JDAm0nk]

I am up for two nights a week doing 2-3 hour sessions in the evenings EST/CST :)

I'm interested in rolling either a Dwarf Cleric or Rogue, or a Halfling Druid. Whatever we feel is best for the overall group.

Besides meeting new people and playing some good ol' EQ, my main motivation for doing a static group is to explore some of the camps and content that are off the beaten path of P99. I'm thinking of stuff like: Steamfront, Goblin camps in Butcherblock, NRo Dervs, SRo Orcs, WK bandits & scarecrows etc. There are a lot of under-utilized zones and camps (Permafrost, Runnyeye, Kedge, Droga for some higher level dungeons) that are plain difficult to experience if you are a solo player.

Obviously this will all depend on our overall race and class choices, but I would like to at least start the conversation of potential camps and zones that we would like to explore.

I've got other characters on Green that I'm actively playing so if folks have issues crop up that prevent them from playing, I'm happy to wait. My hope is that we could be respectful of each other's time and have some form of communication (Discord?) so people could say ahead of time if they are having some issues that prevent them from participating in that session.

Anyways, keeping an eye on this and looking forward to it!

[damstraight4]

Yeah I like the idea of exploring some content that isn't used so much. With a nice group we can take on a lot.

I don't know how to set up a Discord server so not sure how we could all communicate there but I do agree it'd be much easier that way.

[SyanideGas]

I have a dwarf cleric, level 9 that I wouldn't mind chilling and xping with you

[Shourty]

I can make a halphling druud. Would that fit?

[eqravenprince]

Let's get characters created this week, feel free to level up to 6 on your own. Selise and I are in Freeport area. Post character names with race and class here. Meet next Tuesday evening around 8pm CST. I'll try to reply to this thread to help others join us along the ride with dungeons we will try out.

[eqravenprince]

I'm up for whatever. Any zones/camps that you'd really like to explore? Personally, I'm a big fan of Permafrost.

[JDAm0nk]

I'm also a big fan of Permafrost!

And I'm flexible. Mainly trying to get the ball rolling when it comes to discussing possible camps. Especially if we're rolling a full group, we might want to consider what all will be open and available during the evenings. Like: I love Blackburrow and starting in Qeynos, but having recently leveled a character through there, the spawn rate really only sustains 3-4 (twinked) characters.

Befallen is another example of a fun dungeon that might be hard for us to "find open."

So we're aiming for gathering around level 6 on 10/12 at 8 PM CST? I have some family coming to town that day and staying with us for a few days, so it might be hard for me to make the initial sessions. But I should be more than fine for any session after that :)

[bomaroast]

These static groups never last unless they're RL friends.

[eqravenprince]

Well I guess we need to work on becoming RL friends eh =). Are you interested in joining this lost cause! We have a chanter, necro, and cleric/rogue at the moment.

Yes 10/12 at 8pm. Freeport area if you can make it. If you can't, work on leveling up until we can meet. Assume level 7-9 by Thursday 10/14.

[eqravenprince]

I have a dwarf cleric, level 9 that I wouldn't mind chilling and xping with you

Perfect, we had another looking to make a cleric, maybe he makes his rogue instead now.

[eqravenprince]

If you are interested in joining this, send me a private message with your email. We will be playing Tuesdays and Thursdays 8-10pm. Goal is to begin on Tuesday 10/12, need to be level 6 by then.

List so far, we have 4.
Dark Elf Necro
Dark Elf Enchanter
Dwarf Cleric
Undecided

[Solstice79]

I am down. Not sure how to send to a message though.
I feel like this group would benefit greatly from a druid ( sow and ports) I will make a druid.
Or I offer to be the tank. Whatever the group needs more.

Click on my username, eqravenprince, choose send private message with char name and email address. Druid sounds perfect.

We have 6 now. If we get more than 6 interested, we can always split groups into what makes sense and perhaps create guild if that interests people.

Female Dark Elf Necro
Female Dark Elf Enchanter
Dwarf Cleric
Female Wood Elf Warrior
Undecided (maybe rogue)
And you Druid

[eqravenprince]

Going to be in Misty Thicket/Runnyeye area Tuesday at 8pm CST.

[eqravenprince]

Day 1

We had Warrior, Rogue, Druid, Enchanter, Necro in attendance. We had planned on 2nd floor of Befallen, however even though it's empty 99% of the time, last night it was camped by another group. So we left, tried out dervs in WC, a bit too tough for our group. Then headed to Misty Thicket/Runneye/Gorge area. These zones ended up being perfect for our level 8-11 crew where we finished out the night.

Currently missing our 6th member (Cleric), haven't heard back from him. So if you are interested in possibly joining our merry crew, send me a PM, we may have an opening. Like I've said in previous posts, even if we get more than 6, can always split the group into 2 and still go together to whatever zone. Planning on adventuring with this group examples of zones we hope to visit Najena, Kerra Ilse, Permafrost, Runnyeye, Splitpaw, Kedge Keep.

[eqravenprince]

Day 2 - Gorge/Runnyeye area tonight 8pm CST

We may need an extra person if anyone around level 8-12 wants to join us.

[eqravenprince]

Day 2 in the books, went very well in Runneye and Gorge. Everyone leveled. Again if anyone out there would like to join us in our adventures, we are playing on Tuesday and Thursday nights 8-10pm CST. I'll post regularly of where we are heading next.

Next Tuesday 10/19 - Befallen 2nd floor

[eqravenprince]

Day 3 - Befallen

We cleared the 2nd floor maybe 6 times in the 2 hours. Did accidentally pull elf skeleton through door at the end causing 2 deaths, but overall went very well and lots of fun. We will be in Befallen again this Thursday from 8-10pm CST if anyone wants to join in on the fun. Can always split into 2 groups, most of us are level 13-14. Upper Guk next week!

Last nights attendance:
Elfrieda - Female Wood Elf Warrior

This sounds so fun. Wish I could do this on blue.

[StinkyGreenBud]

This sounds so fun. Wish I could do this on blue.

Yeah the most fun I had was a static trio on blue. Was me (cleric), a monk, and a enchanter. What made it so fun was we went to areas that no one ever goes to. Got to see a lot of content I never saw back in the day. Would love to do this again.

[eqravenprince]

Not too late to start up a character on Green. Could catch up to us in no time.

Awesome! We are in Najena tonight. In the near future, we have plans to go to Kerra Ilse, Permafrost, Runneye, Sol A, and eventually branch out into Kunark/Velious. Play on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 8-10pm CST.

[eqravenprince]

Day 6 - Najena entry room area. Everyone leveled, couple deaths, but overall pretty smooth night. I'm thinking Kerra Ilse next week. We play on Tuesday and Thursday 8-10pm CST. If you'd like to be a part of this, let me know.

Therea - Female High Elf Cleric (17)

[Scraphound]

Very tempted to join.

How does a static group work? Do you only play those characters together as a group?

[eqravenprince]

Very tempted to join.

Awesome, there have been several people that have mentioned interest. I can add you to my email group, send me a pm with email address. And if you know what race/class and character name, send that information too.

How does a static group work?

We play on Tuesday and Thursday nights together 8-10pm CST. I email out to the group ideas and settle on where to meet each session.


Do you only play those characters together as a group?


Yes, for the most part. I think just using common sense and staying near the group in level if you want to continue to be a part of the fun. If you do outlevel the group, then maybe plan on showing up and just helping out until we catch up to you.

[eqravenprince]

Day 7 - Permafrost this Tuesday 8-10pm.

[eqravenprince]

Day 7 and 8 - Permafrost this week went very well. Every leveled. We plan on being in permafrost next week too! Feel free to show up as we usually have room for at least 1. If enough people show up, then can get another group going.

Last night's attendance
Elfrieda - Female Wood Elf Warrior (20)
Dunin - Male Dwarf Rogue (19)
Selise - Female Dark Elf Enchanter (19)
Seraness - Female Half Elf Druid (19)
Therea - Female High Elf Cleric (20)

Boombots, 26 Rogue looking to join the static group. I'll head to Permafrost, just wasn't sure how to go about signing up for Tuesday.

We'd love to have you, certainly can hang out with us, work on leveling up alcohol tolerance and could always contribute some damage. Before grouping with us, if you can let us get closer to your level, that would be ideal. And who knows, maybe others around your level will show up to Perma and you can get a group going too.

[eqravenprince]

PM me with email address if you'd like to be a part of this. We are at that point of possibly splitting into 2 groups. We all have real lives, so sometimes people can't make it and we end up with 1 group. We have warrior, cleric, chanter, druid, rogue, and another rogue mentioned joining us. It's a very casual group, none of us are experts, there will be occasional deaths. No one is rocking super uber twink gear. It's about as close to what I remember EQ being like back in the day. I personally have never been to any of the planes, never defeated a dragon, but I have spent countless hours in classic EQ group zones/dungeons, never gets old.

[eqravenprince]

Day 9 and 10 - we will be in Permafrost again this week Tuesday and Thursday 8-10pm CST.

[Valik1016]

I don't know if it's too late, but I'd like to be in such a group. Do you still have room?

Valik

[Valik1016]

I sent a reply, but I don't see it anywhere, so I'm not certain you'll see it. Trying again. I am definitely interested in your group. Which server are you, blue or green? I have characters on both that I can offer.

[Valik1016]

I see from posts that you're on green. I have a 24 necro on green, and it sounds like you'll be there soon. Let me know if that sounds good to you. His name is Kalean.

[Valik1016]

Hello, I see you are on green. I have a level 24 necro there, and I'd like very much to be part of a static group. I'll message you in game. My necro's name is Kalean.

[eqravenprince]

Sounds good, pm me with your email address. I'll add you to the group email I send out to everyone. We are all members of Tribe of Gypsies guild. You don't have to join, but now that we are possibly going to have more than two groups if everyone shows up, guild chat will be a must. So far we have not had a day where more than 6 showed up, but that day could happen soon.

[eqravenprince]

Permafrost this week went very well. Onto Runnyeye next Tuesday and Thursday 8-10pm CST. If enough show, we'll get 2 groups going. All of us are in Tribe of Gypsies guild.

Last night's attendance
Elfrieda - Female Wood Elf Warrior (22)
Dunin - Male Dwarf Rogue (21)
Selise - Female Dark Elf Enchanter (22)
Seraness - Female Half Elf Druid (20)
Therea - Female High Elf Cleric (22)
Rezkez - Male Barbarian Shaman (20)
Kalean - Male Dark Elf Necromancer (24)

[eqravenprince]

Runnyeye Tuesday 8-10pm CST! May have enough for 2 groups, so even if you aren't in our static group feel free to show up.

[eqravenprince]

Runneye on tuesday went well, then the zone seemed broken/buggy Thursday. Finished the night in Kerra Isle. We are all level 22-25 and all in guild, Tribe of Gypsies. We play together every Tuesday and Thursday night 8-10pm CST if you are interested.
