New Member Guild Seeks Donations

[Vladigan]

Greetings all! We have created a new guild ( Utopia Project ) focused on welcoming new players on the server and encouraging kindness and helpfulness to our newest members.

So far I am having a blast in the guild helping new players, and returning players get re-acquainted with classic EQ.

Now, I am wondering if there are any guilds, players, etc. out there that have junk rotting in banks, or backpacks that they would want to donate to new members to the server.

And I mean NEW, no plat, attacking with a rusty weapon, half naked high elf.... We are not here to help twink anyone with a level 50 main.

So if you have Bronze, Banded, Ringmail Armor... Old world weapons of little or no value, and would like to donate them towards a worthy cause... please contact myself or the Guild Leader: Pimpkin in game, or leave a reply with what you would like to donate here and we will contact you in game.

(Please no plat, or expensive items, we really do not want to ruin the experience of over twinking, but a little bronze/banded and a fine steel weapon or 3-4:1 ratio can help out more than you know)

Thank you in advance for all your help in helping us build our Utopia!

I have some things I would be willing to throw at you. I won't be logged in for another 5 hours though. If that wont work, I'll be online this weekend during peekish hours.

My character is camped in EC, and named Obito.

Awesome Thank You. I will be on in about 8 hours (9am est) If I dont see you we will get together this weekend. We do appreciate your generosity.

I'll go round a few places like guk and the likes later and kill a few spawns, will give all my findings to y'all plus I think my bank will have some too!

[Twilight-Sparkle]

I may be able to donate some banded when I get my blacksmithy up. But honestly if you have 100pp or so you could get your BS to 90 very easily and then just make banded yourself for fairly cheap.

[fishingme]

Awesome thing you guys are doing. I'll look through my inventory when I hop on and any stuff that i collect ill send your way

[Urbanzkopf]

I have a whole tonne of stuff, try to catch me in-game on Urbanzkopf I'll port right over to give ya!

[Pimpkin']

Logging in right now for about an hour before Walking Dead is on :) Catch me in game for donations if you can. Thank you all! We are getting a great response in GFay, up to around 50 members. Look for us in the WC/EC area this week!!

Another big thanks to guild: (Forceful Entry.) Received a very generous donation from Heallun!

More items are being transferred to new players to the server thanks to your help!

[Jenithia]

Love this idea. I'll check my bank!

[Pimpkin']

Thank you to Flant (level 50 druid) for item donations!

[Pimpkin']

Thank you to Goremaw from (Full Circle) for item donations!

[Pimpkin']

Thank you to Papasmurf, who generously donated some jewelry to deck us out!!

[August]

I knew I should have started my own guild!

[norova]

Bump for this. :) Utopia is a cool bunch of people.

[Urbanzkopf]

Thanks to Vincit of Divinity for donating a very nice item to the guild!

[Urbanzkopf]

Thanks to Reduced of Divinity for donating several very nice warrior weapons!!

[Ryndar]

Thank you Gynk of Full Circle your donations will be much appreciated.

[Grahm]

i dont understand how if he's doing it for a guild its acceptable.

but if i make a thread saying "new player seeks donations" im a bum

That makes you sound greedy I guess? See they aren't trying to get them for themselves, they are giving them to guild mates who are much lower levels and they get banded and bronze donated not anything special.

[Sturgeon]

It's not like they're asking for rare Manastones, just shit like Banded Armor, Bronze Armor, shit that most players can't afford just starting and trying to mash skeletons with rusty sporks

[Pimpkin']

OMG Sturgeon, Love your gif LOL.

Grahm, I guess there is no right/wrong answer to you question. Perhaps our cause seems more noble because we are taking in acts of kindness and passing them on to others. For me, I found the game stale, repetitive, and I lost my passion for it. Feeling like I/we have contributed something, and watching an idea move into a living project has re-kindled my love for EQ.

My advice would be, "find what you love about this game and make it happen"

[Pimpkin']

A HUGE thank you to Chirp and his many alts :) That donated some amazing gifts!

[Urbanzkopf]

Grahm, the reason that is considered being a bum is because a) you probably are already established on this server and b) everyone who has got gear from us so far never even asked (same as all of the times i've done powerlevel sessions, my own free will).

The items that go out for keeps are items you will get off your average random player that you encounter, a few examples are pieces of banded armour, split paw hide, sometimes even just a little plat for spell money!

We also have a system for the slightly more expensive items of the guild, that hopefully will grow into a very fast and effective way and it goes in tier 1, 2 and 3.

Tier 1 - you request this item, prove you have a use and it is granted yours for as long as you want. You can sell it when you are done using it if you are hard up for cash or if you like return it.

Tier 2 - 50-100pp items. You request to use this and then prove you have a use, these items however are not yours to keep forever but you can ask for permission to sell on.

Tier 3 - 100pp+. These items are strictly to remain within the guild walls. You again, request and prove you have a use, upon completion of whatever you needed it for you find an officer and drop the item back to put back into guild circulation.

Tl;dr the items requested are general noob stuff. (but people are really kind ;) )

[Urbanzkopf]

Also this is a good thing for the health server, some people forget how hard classic was to start out with nothing and quit.. By doing this you keep them here just that extra bit longer and give them a chance to remember why it's so worth the grind.

Anyone else notice that the numbers for the server populations have increased since we began the project? I do believe this is helping to attract/keep the population up! :)

[Urbanzkopf]

Last night /who all utopia was a request cut short! We are making it in the big smoke!

[Urbanzkopf]

HUGE thankyou to Lorraine from Vesica Dei for donating a whole tonne of items! Many have already found new homes, thankyou!

[silkyxjohnson]

FYI. one of your members, says he's an officer. Flayming/zonen/zonein is scamming people, and pointing the finger at other people.

More details pls?

[Boilon]

Zonen/Flayming was upset that he was removed from guild Europa i guess (and i guess now he has become officer of Utopia Project at some point) and started telling people in EC in shout that one of our guild mates Zzorokk had been scamming this guy Iseeyou (who is some EC mule, have no idea if this guy has a main or what) on some sort of EC mule Indiangiver. Not that I care much for slander without evidence, but yeah he did not have any proof of any connection to my said guild mate.

[slofton]

This is something i'd be high;y interested in. I'm brand spanking new all over again. Played a lot when Kunark was first live.

I.e., you're so "high;y" interested in joining a guild that can give you free stuff that you necroed a thread about it?

Less then a month old is considered necroing?
