Hmmm, not sure if id be made on a roleplay server but if a boards guilds sets up I'll be in for it.

I guess its really the only MMO I've got excited about outside of actual wow expansions

Fingers crossed its awesome

wonderboysam

f**k roleplay! :P

allanb49

hey im new to this whats the difference and what would most play it as :P

IrishArmy1

PvE or PvP with a small bit of RP I would guess most players go for.

allanb49

I'll change it to what people are more likely playing

Falcon.ie

I'm all up for a Boardies guild. Not RP though, PvP or PvE.

Hopefully it's a great game!

allanb49

Changed to PvP

Playboy

And Boardsies is probably the least Role Play Guild name evah!

Long term if you wanted it to work you would be looking at setting up ventrillo server, website etc. There is much more work involved then I suspect you envisage. I often think that the boardsie guilds have such a high fail rate due to the initial leader not being experienced enough for the task at hand....

If you want to be a Guild leader then members that you recruit will have expectations of you in that role. If you dont meet their expectations then things tend to fall apart very quickly. Being the guild leader is certainly less fun then being a normal member.....

GUILD NAME: Erin Go Bragh

GUILD WEBSITE: http://www.swtor.com/guilds/73048/erin-go-bragh

OFFICERS: Deldiablo

TIME ZONE (REGION): Europe, ireland, GMT

TYPE OF GUILD: We'll be equally focused on PvE and PvP. And we're a very social and friendly guild. PvP Realm.

AGE GROUP: Our current members range from age of 20+. We do however seek mature members.

RECRUITING: All classes

PRIMARY LANGUAGE: English

APPROX # OF ACTIVE MEMBERS: We currently have around 65 members in Erin Go Bragh, some are a little bit less active while some are very active.

FORMED: 6 Years Ago by Omphin ( WoW )
__________

What kind of guild is this?

We’re trying to appeal to both both hardcore and casual irish players. And we do have both hardcore and casual members, and we're getting along very well so far! We will not strive to become the best guild in terms of PvE or PvP progression. We will however strive to be the best Irish guild. We’ll do equal amounts of PvE and PvP in SWTOR since we do enjoy both parts. We plan to have different guild events in-game that we hope our guild members will enjoy. Our biggest goal will be to have as much fun as possible while playing what we hope to be, an awesome game by an awesome company! All major decisions will be discussed within the guild before being executed. We do however have different ranks within the guild. Members who contribute to the guild will be promoted. Our leadership consists of a council of members that work as recruiting officers, guild event officers and guild officers in general. The leadership does whatever it takes to make our members as satisfied as possible when it comes to plans and decisions.

Who will we recruit?

As long as you're mature and act respectful there should be no worries! This is mainly to get to know you as a person. We will not require our members to have a certain skill within gaming, we will however encourage our members to do their absolute best both in PvE and PvP content. We will also encourage our members to strive to be better players in general. We will be looking for people who will be loyal to our guild and who will try to help us make the guild a better community for all of our members.

On what server will we play in SWTOR?

Most of our current members are interested in playing on a server with open PvP so you'll be able to find us one on of the European PvP servers as SWTOR releases.

I was about to give you this link lol, Imperial Loyalist leader here

Omphin

regardless of whatever irish guild u join in SWTOR, lets do it right and Announce what server we will put all or any irish guilds on. So stay tuned to this thread, im thinking most will want a pvp server, maybe a poll would be good to settle it. Whatever we do lets not spread ourselves out over loads of servers

copeyhagen

the one server idea is very good, will deffo be picking this up..

Kiith

I'll go where you guys go, but i'll be joining the Republic.

regardless of what faction, Republic or Empire, we should all Stick to the one server. So stay tuned to this thread over the coming months. When we have a very successful irish guild on that server, then u dont need to pay for a server change, just change guild.

TheDoc

I'll defo be picking this up, hopefully a few of my guild make the change, if not I'll join in on where you lot go.

More then likely going Jedi/Sith, leaning more towards Jedi...

The first embargo is droping in over an hour on SWTOR, should be new info coming out about the game! Here is the thread on SWOTR forums

Spunge

Man this game is looking generic as fúck

On the note of guilds, my housemate and I are trying to kick off an Imperial RP guild - for the most part limited to Agents and Bounty Hunters. Premise is a branch of Imperial Intelligence, the Ubiqtorate, along with a group of "independent contractors".

Would be a Heavy-RP focused guild, so probably not most peoples cup of tea. Figured I'd put it here for anyone who's interested.

Erin Go Bragh and ATT will join forces under the ATT Leadership Team in Star Wars The Old Republic Mmorpg. Our goal is to become the largest and most successful Irish based Guild in SWTOR and to cater for each players wants from such a guild with progressive raiding, pvp premades and a great social atmosphere

On the 26th of december, all Erin Go Bragh members will transfer over to ATT
Both guilds will continue to recruit individually until merger day. We will update this announcement soon with the server name and character names of officers to contact.

If you want hardcore raiding, PVP premades or just a place to socialise, we aim to have it all.

Kiith

I look forward to killing you on a regular basis.

You are Imperial scum, right?

lol, yeah i am. And my second character will be a jedi Consular in your guild so after i pwn ur bum ill log over to comfort you with tissues and a hug

red_ice

which faction is the ATT guild going to be on? I quit wow about 3 months ago because i didnt know anyone on the server and it got boring as ****... waste of 6 85 toons

Are you "The Galactic Republic" or "The Sith Empire"? Im assuming that being the Sith Empire is exactly like being Horde in wow where you have to wait for a decade to play PVP... If the races and classes are balanced I'd much rather be the republic!

The Sith Empire

I think it is going to be fairly well balanced. Both factions have a lot of history and tradition which fans can relate to, I don't think it will be too biased to one side. Your experience I suppose all depends on the server populations and battleground configurations. I moved server in WoW a few years ago to reduce a 30 min BG queue to 30 seconds, without a doubt the best choice I ever made and if it comes to an issue like that in SWTOR a server transfer could be the solution. Not that anyone wants to pay money to transfer a character and hopefully the BG setup will be flexible enough to reduce queues.

Omphin

also remember that Huttball is a cross faction warzone, so that in itself will reduce the waiting times somewhat. Hopefully they will bring out a few more cross faction warzones too. But i think alot of people will want to play both factions unlike in WoW. Because the 4 classes on each side are similar to the 4 on the other, many people will choose to play a class with the visual effects they prefer the most, in my case i prefer the jedi consular to the sith inquisitor.
So my main will be imperial agent as sniper, but my second char i plan to have is a consular. I think many people will be making choices likewise

Dermighty

I typically go for RPPVP servers.

I don't RP but I do find that in some games (wow being one example) that if you join a plain PVP server you tend to get a lot of XBox Live type players which isn't what I want to encounter when I play.

So by joining a role playing pvp server I usually get pvp, fun and generally slightly more mature/older players.

Dermighty

Just a quick question:

Will all RP servers be pvp or will there be rppve and rppvp?

When I search for guilds on the website it just says pvp, pve or rp as opposed to specifying whether the rp server will be pvp or not.

I want RPPVP.

Raphael

There will be RP-PVP

Soo ATT and Erin are merging?, Yee gong PVP or RP-PvP ?

SDK are a UK / Irish guild and we are on "Ahto City"

Imperial to Rebel guilds are around 2:1 - we may look for a new home and maybe join with another guild on a more evenly populated server.

Anyone getting the sense that it's all Imperial on the EU side?

KINGPIN

Hard to say til the game gets going.

Thanks for the info on servers, going role on "BASILISK DROID"

This has caused SO much heartache today

Even funnier is that I clearly must have read this post and not kept in the loop of what was happening

I dont know why my posts have caused you any problems, i practically spammed several threads with the news of EGB merging with ATT. Set up a thread dedicated to the idea of an irish server with list of server types and irish guilds so they could set up alliances and adversaries. Unless you have no been paying attention for the past few weeks
