Thanks for replies guys.

That's a great idea Calhoun, going to put something down on paper for this, and set some gaols. I was thinking everyone starting new characters and get levelled up in time for the new expansion. If I can get at least 5 -10 people on here we could meet up a overclocker.ie cafe in ballyfermot. Think this will be a lot of fun. I have always been looking for people that share a love for this game.

We could have arena teams.
Raids
I will even make our own team jerseys for everyone that's joins the team.
And Much more, maybe have it like an elite wow club in Ireland

Anyone got any ideas? I run LANs all the time (overclocker.ie), but this is my favourite game. If anyone gots some ideas for this please let me know. Our if you want to be apart of this let me know here and I will set a date for this, if I get at least 10 people that are interested, then I will set a date.

Once again thanks for replies guys. I really want to get this going.

Arena teams would work as they are x-realm, as would flex raiding, normal wouldn't unless people leveled chars in one place, you could however have like a lvl 60 or 70 only guild and do content for TBC ect. Finally youcould also do some wpvp on timeless isle ect or all over wow.

You guys could quit being cheapskates and transfer 1 char to a selected server and start from there?!

Depending on the side your on that could cost upward of 45 euro for a once off event. What do you do with the char after it ?

For sure and not to mention that although leveling can be boring can be quite fun in a group messing around.

This is why nothing ever happened with an Irish guild from boards.
Nothing but cheapskates.

45 quid isnt that much if you actually put some effort into getting that lan party stuff off the ground..

Save some cash and do it, 10 euro a week.. id say you spend more on a nights drinking and have shag all to show the next day.

Generalise much ? Are you still sore that no one wanted to start something with you?

I personally don't drink often and spend more money in the past 2 months on server xfers it would have to be for something concrete and decent for me to consider more.

Why does it matter to you anyway you said it was creepy ? And stop going on like he Irish community owes you something with attitude like above you dont really scream come play with me . This is one of the reasons the Irish community dont do much.

Why do you need to move server? Faction maybe but not server.

Well if you were to do it right you would need to one get census of here folks are horde/alliance before anything happened if your were doing it with 90s.

Would then really investigate of server your on is worthwhile to faction change , server balance is completely eased up now you could go from a 90% represented side to 10%. If it's a chat you want to play you be spending money to gimp yourself .

Other than normal raiding though I take your point we don't need to be on the same server.

ill wear my arthas costume

Oh I think this sounds just too good to pass, esp as Ballyer would be convenient driving distance for me. I'd be particularly interested in a reroll project, I always find those great craic (not to mention useful if its a new forming guild for the group too). I've also playing since vanilla launch I'm not a strong PVP player but do well with PVP healing. Very comfortable with all aspects of PVE play (I think!) though haven't been a progressive raider since Cat.

Looking forward to the potential of this idea

but the majority of people on boards are just all talk.

If memory serves, you got ultra aggressive and defensive when you proposed a boards guild on a realm everyone joined, and you got some valid criticsm for it. As you had no direction, vision or guided direction, like most "boards wow guilds" have done through the years.

As a project this sounds enticing and interesting. But I agree with you that there is a tendancy for people on the forum to go mad for something, and when push comes to shove,they just let interest fizzle.

There is enough dead guilds in the garbage can on here to know what the problems are, and it's direction.

Specificy exactly what the intention of the guild is

This seems to be joining a new realm, making a new character, and levelling together. Brilliant. Sounds a very good idea, really good for people new to the game or coming back.


Personally have no interest as I'm not rolling new chars on a new realm, that when they hit 90, will probably turn idle. These ideas alays falter when it comes to endgame, and WoW is about endgame. Levelling is grand and fine, for alot of people, like me, it's a chore. A process I've gone through ten times, as have many others.

Guilds on boards try to cater to the masses. "We will PVP, we will PVE, rated BG's, we will do everything". Inevitably they fall flat on it's arse.

unfortunately my experience of Wow boards guilds or projects that cater to the masses, ends up being active for a few weeks before people start to drop off. You either specialise in something specific, or don't bother imo. The day's of "omg let's play together cause we are from the same country" are long since gone in WoW to be fair, and I think in general that's gone in gaming in general.

Alright fine the idea of meeting other people who enjoy wow as much as me would be cool. But that will never happen, id say maybe 1 or 2 would show up from boards to your store.

Calhoun would you show up or are you all talk?

And as many of you have seen or wrote in previous threads, too much money for something that will just fall apart. Stop giving the man hopes that this will turn into something, maybe his locals would enjoy it, but the majority of people on boards are just all talk. If the times for this meet up were clear of my work hours, i would honestly go and pay the small fee of €45, pffftt... pocket change on a night out really. Even a man on the rock and role would be able to afford that.

Right now i have 6-7 chars on ravencrest (social), 1 normal geared healer on ragnaros (could be starting HC's soon), healer and hunter on defias for pvp. the 45 euro is not an issue for me but why would i move characters that are in established setups for this?

Unless its well thought out and there is a concrete plan on what we are doing i am not interested, i also prefer a reroll project a bit more but i would move a char if there was the right setup in mind.

To your point on giving him hope, its a two way street. I havent seen him post much here before and this could be viewed as an attempt at generating business. Once there is a concrete plan however and everyone is happy with it then things will progress.

It also goes without saying it would be wise if you cooled it a little bit, as much as people may not put in effort what will drive more away is someone pushing it over zealously. Calling people cheap and applying pressure just turns them away.

^^ You sound butthurt

OP has suggested a way of different people levelling together and other people have expressed an interest in joining him. I'm sure they can enjoy it without your pointless criticism.

Agree with points Cal is making,

I've got plenty of 90's , loads of 85's. (Over 15 characters). Money isn't the problem. **** I'm about to drop 60 bucks on a boost from 60-90 cause im not arsed levelling.

The issue is "what happens when we get 90". Look it sounds a great idea for maybe new players, returning players, or guys who maybe play the game on their own.

But its a discussion forum about WoW, and I think for some of us, playing the game since beta and alpha, and on this forum in and out for over 6 years, it's worth sometimes looking at some experienced views.

There hasn't been a guild or project, in WoW, that started from boards, that lasted more then a few weeks from what I can tell.

LAN meetups, meeting people and the likes is always fun and a great idea. I guess the problem for me is similar to Cal. I have a community in WoW I've been a part of since WOTLK, a guild, friends etc. Alot of the guys came back to WoW the last few months. And I think it's reasonable to ask some questions and have some concerns.

Like for example, something I think could REALLY work for this community, is utilising the structures Blizzard has put in place with real ID and cross realm raiding.

Weekly boards Flex raid for SOO?
Organise it through here, or Openraid.

I know as someone who enjoys rating, and always has an interest in what Irish people are doing in my games, I'd happily sign up for something like this. Would be a great way for me to play an alt properly aswell.

So, if the OP manages to go ahead with his project, get's people levelled and has a few abled and capable people, and interesting next development would be organising raids. Casual, relaxed, and just having some fun, but obviously trying to kill bosses

It Can hardly be an established setup if people dont switch over to his server. He cant do much on his own unless people actually put some effort in and switch, but as i said earlier the majority of boards members just talk the talk.


This is something you would hear from a scrub in a raiding guild. Until you have it on farm im not gonna join.

Do any of you actually listen to this guy???

Akarinn i think i can safely say that there isnt anybody here, that will want you to join them

i took a leap of faith the last time a boards guild was properly setup, wotlk. moved 3 80s over, guild was dead within weeks, stuck on a ****e realm then.

Lets just wait and see what valdez has to say. Been almost 3 weeks without a word.

Mate if you had the cash to move 3 characters.. you couldnt have been stuck on it for long...

what a stupid point. maybe i wasnt willing to dump anymore money

yeah exactly, i had no more money you troll!

i had quit the game and came back to take part in the boards guild, when that went south i quit game soon after.


what are you so sour about anyways

Lol the last post is golden, i dont know why you care about this so much as i thought it was creepy?

Even if this did have a chance of working, your participation in this thread has probably gone a long way to ensure it wont get off the ground.

Lets be clear on one thing peopel like you are the problem with the Irish wow community, you had a poor idea and when people asked for more details you went off on one. Your logic is that people should play with you because your Irish and as explained to you many times that makes a pretty poor guild.

Its still being discussed as you wont let it die, but its not a bad thing as this thread is showing the Irish MMO community the charming attitude you bring to the table.
