Greetings

[Caligula-Villanova]

Let me introduce myself, my name is Rickey Perez and i currently attend Villanova University in Villanova Pennsylvania. I was a former EverQuest player on the Erollisi Marr server for many years. And so, i have come back with the intention to create a level 52 max, oldschool guild.

Why will i play again? Because i have a thirst deep down inside me that only nostalgia can quench.

The guild i am creating will be called Sojourn of Nostalgia. We will only wear armor up to the Kunark expansion. There are some exceptions to the rule only in the case when you cannot see the specific piece of armor such as rings, earrings, and belts.

When we do get our epics, those will be the weapons we will use.
We will not use the cheezy teleportation devices that plans of power and shadows of luclin first introduced to us. We will be hardcore, in the sense that we will know our shit. On the same token, we will be mature and classy, so griefing scamming, and just being annoying will not be tolerated. We will try to set records with the least amount of people per kill in the old world pre velious. On the same token, we will see what we can beat only being level 52 max.

There are 65 Slots open right now, this is how it will be. Get your slot while you can, there won't be any exceptions:

Btw, we will not accept Frogs or Cats, nor will we accept halfling paladins etc... It will have to all be old school stuff.

----------------------------------------------------------------
On that note I will let you all be and ponder whether or not you desire to experience the true magical world of EverQuest. In addition to forming this guild for EQ oldschool style, we will have the knowledge in the back of our minds that we will most likely play until SigilQuest, aka Brad McQuaid's unnamed game releases. No, we will not go on to World of Warcraft.

Peace-

Caligula, Troll Warrior of Sojourn of Nostalgia.

P.S.- i won't be in game until February 27th at 9pm EST. I will be starting at level 1.

[Knibble]

Gee what's wrong with frogs or cats?
Your going to create a lowbie guild then huh?
Have fun trying to recruit people for that guild.

[Boogahz]

heh, he's talking about using everything up to the release of Velious or so. That means no Frogs (LoY) and no Cats (Luclin). Don't see it happening myself.

[Sabek]

Oh it might happen. Right up until everyone gets 52 and decides being 52 and doing Venril Sathir over and over isn't that fun.

Beyond that what are the logisitics behind not leveling past 52? Does everyone have to sac themselves down as they get close to 53?

[Siji]

I remember people wishing there was an old world only server.. but I don't see a guild limiting itself to those boundaries on servers where it's possible to grow on.

[Pherr the Dorf]

Being 52 and trying to do VP would be a rush

[Diae Soulmender]

In order to do this correctly you should:

Max level 50.
Play is limited to only those zones on "original' release.

lastly your idea is interesting, but on a live blue server? It wont fly.

[Voronwë]

a lvl 52 guild with "old school gear" could not beat VS, and they couldnt get Trakanon to 95%, so dont worry about how fun VP would be.

[Caligula-Villanova]

What are you talking about? Venril and Trak could easily be defeated. People on my old server do Temple of Veeshan with 50's.

[Voronwë]

they are probably using Velious or later gear too arent they? sure ToV is cake with "today's" gear.

your whole premise was you wanted "old school" content only. That to me suggests you wont have your tanks in Thurg armor, etc.

I do not believe lvl 50-52 players in PoH/PoF armor can defeat Trakanon. And i'm not talking about having people buff them with VoQ/HoV/Fo7 and shit either.

Farming ToV is a joke, and i know a guy who has done several HoT quests all by himself 4 boxing.

[sarlen]

ToV ledge is very possible 4 boxed and was able to keep all of HoT clear, but thats with top of the line gear of course. As for the 52 and under guild I think it would be a blast, but im not starting over again.

[Diae Soulmender]

What are you talking about? Venril and Trak could easily be defeated. People on my old server do Temple of Veeshan with 50's.

I suppose with todays tactics, enough people in the right classes with top fo the line Kunark Era could do it.

I believe the only thing that would be problematic about this is ensuring folks stay at level 52, keep with the spirit of play and not 'twink' with Velious+ gear.

You might find more enjoyment by sticking to level 50 and Release Zones only + Plane of Sky.

Doable? Absolutely. It is what it was designed for.... ahhh the days of Farming Plane of Fear.. ya know I never did get a Thorny Vine BP... bastards wouldnt drop for me.

[Caligula-Villanova]

The way i figure it is that it will be perfect training grounds for SigilQuest. The whole fun of it will be to try to defeat the most we can with only being level 52 or 50. That way, when Sigil releases their game, we will be able to rip through it with skill.

[Spankes]

52 just seems arbitrary to me. If you are going to make it old world then cap at 50. If you are going to add Kunark then cap at 60, but 52 was just a bullshit level soe picked for the old world dragons.

[Caligula-Villanova]

50 it is.

[Drinsic Darkwood]

Gimme a few hours. Gonna bind myself via levi way over the trees in potranq and chain die for a while, I'll take a ranger spot the second I unding 53!

[Zamtuk]

I was always under the impression that Kunark enabled characters to level up to 60. What game was I playing?

[Xouqoa]

Why do you automatically assume that Sigil's new game will be ANYTHING like the original EverQuest? That was almost five years ago.

[Pahreyia]

You'd have a better chance of pulling off a guild like this on a server like Maelin Starpyre or Torvon or Zeb...

You know.. the servers that no one plays on.

Personally, I take my rogue down and pickpocket naggy and vox all the time. Grats you guys 2-3 loots, no gems, no cash.

I take 3-4 friends and burn down Trak for BPs to sell from time time as well.

And no, I won't stop because someone wants to make an "old school" guild.

[Voronwë]

damn your leetness is impressive

[Caligula-Villanova]

Server change: We will start on Morden Rasp.

My name is Roowyn and i am an Ogre Warrior.

[Fredonia Coldheart]

When we do get our epics, those will be the weapons we will use.

52 just seems arbitrary to me. If you are going to make it old world then cap at 50. If you are going to add Kunark then cap at 60, but 52 was just a bullshit level soe picked for the old world dragons.

50 it is

Then there will be some in your guild not getting epics! Setting the level limit to 52 allows everyone to get their epic and fight the old world dragons.

Setting the limit to 52 also allows exp to be siphoned off into AA exp so that you don't force members to take deaths to keep under the level limit.

Of course, if you are just doing old world, then you can just let the AA exp rot.

[Madren]

have to say that for nostalgia purposes, that Morden Rasp server seems like a really neat idea.

[Ennia]

what do you need 2 mages for?

[Vailex Darkfury]

have to say that for nostalgia purposes, that Morden Rasp server seems like a really neat idea.

Too bad I already made a human paladin named "Madren" on that server!!

[Madren]

ah well..

Sassypants Inkypunch wil just have to do for an avatar !
