added, about 20 guild members tonight so far, i reckon we'll hit 35 by monday and maybe 45-50 will be the most we'll get from boardsies? then we'll see what we'll do from then onwards

Kiith

Woohoo, guild rank 2 already. Calendar has been unlocked!

zekiel

considering this guild is looking like its taking off in a nice way.. can we ask for a sub forum here for the guild? I think this would be best so not to have cross conversations that wouldnt be exactly relevent towards this forum.

Shouldn't it be formed on an RvR server then?

The decision was to go CORE, tbh you can get RvR any time in it and i've had no trouble finding a fight. :pac:

Very dissapointed that a guild name that cool is going to waste on a carebear server

Serious re-consideration needed. Ye should change name and stay in server, or change server and keep the name. If you go to an RvR server I'd be there in a flash.

Open RvR adds so much excitment to the game.

Dcully

Theres plenty of rvr on a core server.

Da Bounca

It's the open part that isn't there.

Aye i agree but i just followed everyone else.

Dcully

True but with scenarios and rvr zones with quests there is plenty of fun to be had

I'll stick to eve for my open pvp

Da Bounca

Yah, I get that people want to stay on the core servers. Really I do.
I just think calling a guild cry me a RvR and then playing on a core is kind of a contradiction.

Mac daddy

Damm guys i was going to join up for a ol' boardsie guild but a core server......
forget it rolling on a open rvr server instead, why did you not pick a open rvr server instead??

paddyman

Hey lads, aint got a chance to play yet so just starting today. Barely even got to read about the game much so am a total noobie for the moment.

Just made a magus called Paddyman on Azgal, if anyone cares to teach me the ropes it'll be good!!

Hmm wasn't aware of all of that

whatduck

This is a PvP game, it just so happens that the devs happened to screw up the chicken mechanic on Open servers, hence making them places that many people who would have liked to play on an Open server roll Core.

If you want excitement, flag yourself for RvR, you can have it on 24/7 just like an Open server you just have the option of turning it off and not limiting yourself to whatever Tier your in.

With Open you can't help your lowbie friends, can't go around exploring and getting all the tome unlocks you missed, its very limiting.

Kiith

Woohoo, Guild rank 3 tonight. Dont think we are going to keep this speed up somehow, but there was some nice pvping today. We need to organise some guild events soon. Just some basic RvR when we are all in a similar levelled area.

OSiriS

This isn't wow, the differences between pvp and core servers aren't as pronounced. In DAOC even most of the hardcore RvR people stuck to the main servers. While the concept of PvP realms on that game seemed appealing, it turned out to be quite mundane, with all PvP focused around portal areas. In end game RvR, I see the Core servers being alot more fun.

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to point out that my Chat\Guild\Party is minimized so I miss alot of the chat sometimes, depending on if im playing off my laptop or home pc. If anyone is ever trying to contact me quickly, spam /whispers to me because I seem to notice the Dark blue chat more than the rest.

and apologies in advance if I miss someone.

Good to see you all lvling so fast by the way!

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

i'll send invitations to the others when the servers are back up

Pm me ingame aswell if you want to join

ingame login = Marideus



The guild is at lvl 3 right now and we should hit 6 or 7 by monday evening if we get a few more players.

as it stands now we ONLY have Boardsies in the guild but i think we should open it to friends of boardsies and friends we make ingame
we really need to boost our guild rank for extra fun :P

so i think we should just try and recruit alot more over the next few days i would really apprpeciate it. also i could maybe give you powers to invite Guildies but i won't give the power to just anyone yet.

The guild tax rate is set at 10% for now just to see how things go , i can lower or higher it once we get a better picture.you can also tax yourself(tithe) mine is at 20% so altogether im being taxed 30% of all coins i get.

also if anybody has any good ideas for the guild let me know, i need some people to step up and help the lower lvl people and answer questions with me.

Rev also has a vent server ( until we find our own i think?)
it comes in handy for RvR especially and its alot easier to go about things.
so anybody can join it really as long as they behave themselves
theres a thread about the vent server so get the details and join, if nobody is on just send a few messages into guild chat and im sure a few will pop on.

Kiith

Ya, i agree about inviting friends and randoms who seem to know what they are doing (I think its great that we have such a good turn out from the boards.ie guys though). Our guild name is quite good, so we'll get plenty of people who will join. We also need to do some guild events soon, maybe when more people get into Tier 2?

I wont be able to play much this weekend, as i'm working 7-7 fri-sun, but i'll be on pretty much all next week. So i'll catch up with you all then.

Baneblade

this is definatly geared towards big guild warfair, you might say its the true guild wars...

looking through the guild ranks you can have guild alliences and you get buffs for doing RvR and other cool stuff. check out lvl 39 they have a spot for something they have not decided on yet

It definatly makes guilds more then just another name on the screen

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

I would like to join your guild. Eruantiel is the name, I am only a begining to play today.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

you must be online for me to send an invite into the guild. so next time your on just send me a message saying can you join the guild and ill add you then.

guild reached rank 4 tonight, had a look in the vault at where the tax was going to. also had a great RvR session tonight at a keep in Barak Varr.

Bah, annoyed i missed that, but i had a 27 minute queue, followed by a DC, and then i wasnt willing to wait another 25 minutes. Went to bed instead. Will be online tonight though. Does the guild vault get visibly richer (i.e. gold all over the floors)...cause that would be cool. :pac:

Not that I'm complaining (well, I guess I am. I'm cheap like that), but what exactly is the guild tax for?

guild standards, keeps and lots more bonuses we will unlock when we level up the guild.

Ah right.

Oh, and I just found out that there's already a guild of the same name on the US servers: http://www.wardb.com/guild.aspx?id=2765

They stole it from us. ****ers (i have no idea if they did, but whatever)

LoL, if you want excitement, flag yourself for excitment. Then other excitement seekers can run up to you and you can have an exciting time together? "Hi, are you available to be killed?", "yes, but only on tuesdays and thursdays", "oh right".

That isn't exciting.

As for the tiers, well there is a lot of room for level difference in the tiers. So for example you can play in tier 1 all the way to level 20, so helping your low level mates isn't a problem. If anything, open is less limited in that regard. You can't play the scenarios past level 12 though. But the non instanced rvr is fine, no chicken poly till you hit 21.

You said Open RvR adds so much excitement to the game, I assumed you meant the fact that you could be attacked at any time while your questing, I could care less about not being able to go gank someone while they're killing a mob and thinking I'm great. I liked open world PvP in WoW because battle grounds and arena's were crap. I don't see much point in it in WAR because theres so many fun ways you can RvR.

Really the only thing thats missing from Core is the ganking, this game is all about PvP.

Also, yay they borked the chicken mechanic even more now, level 21's can go around ganking level 4's which is exactly what the chicken mechanic is meant to prevent. Helping your lower level mates isnt a problem? What if your level 40 and you want to boost your mate who's in tier 1? That is a problem.

Funny thing is they just need to change the chicken mechanic a bit and none of these things would be a problem.

Da Bounca

Open RvR provides more player freedom, excitement, and frustration.

Core is for players who want their PvE and RvR seperate and manageable.
I have no problem with that, and I can see why people would like that.


The game is set in a WAR. Logically, there would be very few safe zones, and no option to flag yourself for fighting. It would be around every corner.
You're saying the game is all about PvP, and then you say that Core is set up better for that. It's a plain and simple contradiction.

If you get turned into a chicken, then it's because you are an unreasonable level for the zone you are in. You can't really get fairer than that.

You call it ganking, I call it part of the war effort/being alert to roaming enemies. Don't forget that it provides both experience points and renown!

If you really want to help your level 1 friend, roll a new character yourself. Hell you will probably learn new aspects of the game.



My original point though: disband the guild and re-roll it on an RvR server. The name of the guild currently makes you all look foolish.

Well I said nowhere that Open is set up worse for PvP so I don't know where your your reading that. I'm only against Open servers because of the way the chicken mechanic works at the moment, and that Open servers have things that I won't really miss.

You say "If you get turned into a chicken, then it's because you are an unreasonable level for the zone you are in. You can't really get fairer than that." How is a level 31 killing a level 12 fair? I see no difference between that and a level 40 killing them, its just lowbie griefing and its what the chickening is meant to prevent.

You say that Open gives more freedom and to certain extent this is true, but in another way it is not. You have no freedom to explore the game world and get tome unlocks if your too high level for the tier.

Play the game how you enjoy it, if you like Open play on Open but until they change the chicken mechanic (if they ever do) Open will be crap for me.
