Lets get it started this weekend. If you wanna make a red alt, make a new Red char at 6pm EST this Saturday and meet at the freeport newbie area.

This is what we need, someone proactive. Sounds like a plan to me.

Sure you could start one. I'd join it, and so would a friend of mine, so that's 3 people right here. My toon is named Cookietyme.

Haha, I should've known this was Cookietyme.

<< Oxoo

Remember the other night at Befallen? And on that note, I would join this hypothetical guild as well.

Lol, oh man, I wish I could forget that night, that was rough. It would be a good fit for the "Biggest waste of time on EQ" thread.

Awww cmon! It's experiences like that that grow hair on your chest. Rawr!

I would have to agree with HippoNipple, I think the ruleset is just fine how it is and on a side-note Blues are able to buff and such Red players in Arenas -> At least that's what i remember from Live... its how red players would get buffs before heading out on exp grind.

I think all the server needs is a self sufficient Red guild and the snowball effect would happen... the only thing i'd like to see is some sort of way to do go back to Blue. Some sort of giant elaborate quest that any lvl can do that simply involves running to nearly every hometown zone this way it takes hours to accomplish..
An idea would be have "Priests of Law" NPCs placed around norrath outside towns or in newb friendly spots that you have to run to and do "whatever" to get an item from each of them to then hand in to go back to Blue...

On a side note, whatever happened to that old /guildwar command? It was a command that guild leader could hit and start a "war" between one guild with another lasting a determined amount of time which would effectively let any member from opposing guilds fight each other in any environment.... It was listed in the Kunark game manual that came with the expansion.

Who else wants to join the red guild?

[HippoNipple]

Well just meet at Freeport newbie area this weekend like Lowlife suggested. I unfortunately am going out of town for the weekend for the 4th of July but I'm going to keep in touch through here (probably PM Lowlife).

I would say the goal of the first meeting would be to come up with a name and talk about getting it established... also finding a way to keep in touch whether it's email or making another thread on this forum under the guild section.

Once I get back I will make my DE Cleric for the Red Alt guild. All I ask is that if the name is decided upon and the guild is established before I get back please do not make the name a complete joke heh.

I will join too but I can tell you right now it is an alt that will rarely get played until my other chars are bit higher lvl. Having just recently joined P99 I gotta work on a main first. I made a barbarian rogue named Outcast and he will join.

As for the name, I would think something with the word "Discord" in it.

I like that idea and second that. Disciples of Discord, or just the name Discord sounds good to me.

As far as it just being your alt that is fine. The main thing to start things off is getting some interest in making red characters so the guild has people to level with. Once there are some characters made I think it will be more of a success then most small new guilds with alts because those alts won't have other guilds to go to once they get better. The guild will grow with the players in it.

When you go red, are you able to loot coin?
I played on Vallon Zek and i felt coin loot really added to the gameplay. There was no item loot which imo is good because people would just camp certain people to steal their gear and No Drop items couldn't be looted so high lvls with no drop raid gear would just pick off people to sell their armor... But where coin loot was involved, it gave it a reason to kill people and yet killing same person over and over did nothing... It forced people to use banks...
Without coin loot, killing someone just seems kind of like a dick thing to do because it puts them to bind and there is no reason.. People generally understood there was nothing personal about being killed because it was a chance to make money...

Another thing i liked about coin loot was when there is a twinked person killing off people and looting them all up, you get a chance to get it back.. I remember back in the day a Fungi twink was killing off newbs in Field of Bone and my friend and I (both poorly geared) managed to duo the twink.. when we looted, he was carrying 300p :-D
Kind of like a little reward... Most times you don't lose much or you don't gain much from a kill but it is a nice little reward for going through the difficulty of taking down a person. Hell, even lvl 1 decaying skeleton can drop coin, why not a person?
