It's never too late to join <Auld Lang Syne>! While several of our seasoned members have reached late-40s/early-50s levels, there are still many in the other level ranges, including alts of the longest standing members. Now is a great time to join up! We love all styles of game-play, including (but not exclusively) roleplaying as well as seeking out the oft forgotten quests for gear and storylines.
We have artisans covering most tradeskills and a fair amount of multilingual characters who speak very uncommon tongues.
If you've never (or it has been a good while since) played for gear as opposed to buying it, there is nothing quite like camping a mob, seeing the drop and winning the roll for it. Rest assured more than just the item will bring joy, but also great praise and support from the whole guild for the achievement. As Rainik posted above, our members come together to help each other accomplish quest piece goals and specific kills for class-specific gear.
There is no "needed" class or artisan in <ALS>. Come as you are (or want to be). If you are a necro (or which ever class you love) outside ALS and want to test your merit with no twink gear (Melech raises his hand), then submit an app on our site and hail a member in-game to speak with an officer.
To play this style is to love it. I assure you, you will not regret joining. Read through our charter at auldlangsyne.gamerlaunch.com and see if ALS is a fit for you.
