Thriving

[SamwiseBanned]

Pals of EverQuest emu, come back before Kunark so that we may grind for xp and loots. Business is picking up so population is no longer an excuse. Leave your eq emu egos at the char select screen and log back in. Over 50 players during Noon Central US time. Vae Victis will take you in, feed, and cloth you. If you are a new player you are welcome to join us as well. We are helping all new coming players with starting plat, maybe weopons armor if we have any, PLs, buffers, groups, and friends. Kunark is coming and our bodies will be ready, will yours?

You guys are mass recruiting any and every that comes to the server... I sense hurdles in your future

any signs of grief/bad/mad/sad are met with insta guildremove. only 2 down so far. Also any is welcome to create another guild to join. I recommend Flowers if VV doesnt suit your tastes.

I hate the concept of zerg-recruiting on 2 sides but at least it's relatively even


and really, if that's the way it's gonna be, then why not just do 2 teams (light and dark)?

Then you have the same thing except there's the added awesome of zone control based on proximity to evil/good cities + casual stragglers aren't skullfucked by both guilds.

I can see why some people can see this as mass recruiting zerg but I don't agree. More than half our members are new players (new to server.) So it's kind of like we are bringing friends to join. If you had 30 friends in RL and you all rolled on Red would you consider yourself a Zerg? If all goes to plan, I hope to bring double the players than what is now now. You mind if i use your old Red recruiting thread but modify it a little for Kubark release? Goingt o hit other forums hard pretty soon.

at this point in the server, there needs to be TEAMS, 2 guilds


as of now, there is like 1 active level 50 cleric outside of nihilum, yes ACTIVE.....

This is something that has to change for the server to have any kind of future, when another guild starts to retain its 46 + members from ether quitting the server or joining nihilum. That is when the true "thrive" will begin.

I hope the best for yas.

actually 3 level 50s clerics as of today. as well as 2 40+ and more on the way.

[Znif]

dude guys the zerg recruiting is an attempt to get people hooked on the server.... don't think we expect even half these people to get max lvl or retain them to nihilum... were doin the lords work give us a break :D

They assume the free ride will continue indefinitely.

Whether you're a "zerg" or not is kinda besides the point. Don't take it personally or get defensive about the label - the point is that there's 2 big guilds.

And the 2 big guilds will compete with eachother, which probably means both guilds getting bigger.

At that point, I'm asking "why not just have 2 teams?"

It's like 2 guilds but better for the reasons I mentioned.

[jjgerman]

hardcoded teams have always been better

people cant hop over soon as one team has an advantage, they are forced to fight it out.

Not just go 60v40, then 70v30, ...............then 90v 10, like now.

altho I love the idea of teams, I think it would need to be at least 3. Imo an odd number of teams keeps the game balanced (altho SZ good team was heavily out numbered) it worked well for Matrix Online and Aika. I think 2 teams will fail but teams is just wishful thinking at this point. I would gladly halt actively recruiting if there was another guild working on it. We are at the point where people just ask us and I no longer have to wander the newb zones looking to help lowbies.

[Znif]

teams would be awesome but alas we don't have them...i think part of the point of the post was to show the older players all the new blood so they might come back and form their own guilds so it wouldn't be a 2 guild server

[SamwiseBanned]

Flowers has been pretty active lately and altho their list not be cut short, they have been putting work in pvp-wise. I would love to see 4-5 guilds pop up but they wont pop up by themselves. VV was a long shot but hardwork by everyone in the guild has gotten it pretty far. We are on the verge of farming raid plane trash. I mean this guild was recruited during the lowest oopulation point of the server. Now that its picking up, should be alot easier.

Yah, how'd that whole teams thing work for the good guys on SZ?

Also anyone that is new to red, don't forget to get any caster toon you want to have to lvl 12 or 15 respectively before kunark so you can bind at pots.

sounds like a death trap but thankfully i am druud.

[JenJen]

sam that is some impressive artwork

[Purdee]

thanks for the heads up cars

[Dullah]

I support this movement.

Hoping theres lots of new 40s and 50s in game around kunark. We need leveling buddies and rival guilds.

Fun times to be had.

[spooge]

I cant express how awesome Red99 is with Vae. Raiding crush bone with the guild was all pro.

Big shout out to you guys! Wish more people would try Red and see how much fun it actually is.

[Tr0llb0rn]

It just took some men of action to make it happen.

See the difference between Men of Action and........ crybaby forum tryhards?

One group makes the server thrive, and the other just bitches on the forums about how they could not get past level 17, how only teams can save the day, or they will log in when someone ELSE fixes the server, or (insert endless excuses here)..

Glad to see things thriving.

[Shrubwise]

Holy Vae Victis Batman!

[Rushmore]

were doin the lords work give us a break :D

I'll be the judge of that!

[Rushmore]

I think any viable pvp server needs 3+ guilds. I'm trying to hate on the team concept. Can anyone tell me what the con's of teams would be?

Biggest reason..... Couldn't someone or a bunch of people on your team snub you and keep you from groups and loot? This would be my biggest fear. For someone not to be able to do anything about a situation. They wouldn't even be able to kill them.

What have you say?

[Shrubwise]

There's 3+ guilds man. If you count Angry Wolves going strong with one member (Bandius), there's a solid 4 guilds on the server!

[Purdee]

Sent a few tells to some VV, but they must have been busy.

Special thinks to mindsculpture for hooking me up with some starter jewelry and some plat for spells!
