[WoW] RPGnet Guild on NA Kirin-Tor server, Horde-side [Archive]

IceShadow

12-30-2005, 08:32 AM

The contents of <a href="http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=237126">this thread</a> have led me to believe that there might be enough interest on RPGnet to get people to roll up new characters (or use existing ones) to establish a guild on the North American Kirin-Tor server, horde-side. It's a relatively new RP server, and while there was a queue last night to get into it, I'm fairly certain that most of the RP servers had a queue last night anyway. I certainly had a lot less lag on it last night than I usually have on Feathermoon.

So, I'd like to more officially poll interest and get names for people interested in starting a guild there. We had one established character and four people who rolled up new ones last night on the drop of a hat, so with a bit more planning, we might be able to get this off the ground.

I'd like at least 10 people who say they're interested before we get a guild charter (for obvious reasons) as well as some discussion on an RP theme for the guild, and a name. I'd really like to have about 20 people who are at least interested in joining the guild and putting in a little playtime (I.E. at least a couple hours a week during afternoon/evening hours). Obviously the more playtime you'd be willing to devote to this, the better, but very casual players and people with a lot of commitments on other servers are still welcome.

I do not need to be the GM on this, although I will be if no one else would rather do it and there's enough interest in the guild in general. I tried doing this on Feathermoon about five, six months ago, and I made the mistake of starting with only about five RPGnetters, figuring that more people would join later...but without enough of a guild presence on the board, we've had new people join the WoW fold who -didn't- have any pre-existing friends on and chose a different server to play. So, that's why I'd like to have at least 20 people interested. Also, I'm willing to put a lot of time commitment into this, in the same way I did for the first few months of the start of the other guild, to get my character leveled up to a point that he can help lower level characters run through instances and quests to level up quicker.

The guild I ran on Feathermoon was, RP-wise, a mercenary company named the Blacksky Company, founded by my character's father shortly after the orcs met the tauren. It was decimated during the war, and only a handful of its former strength was left to fight after it, run by the son of the founding tauren. We could stick with that idea, or go for something new.

We're not going to require any UI's or alternate programs, although I might recommend <a href="http://www.flokru.org/flagrsp/">flagRSP</a> for the role-playing benefits it provides, as well as <a href="http://www.goteamspeak.com/">Teamspeak</a> for running instances and grouping. We already have a message board to use (:D) and a way to send PM's to each other via here.

This will not be a RPGnetters-only guild, but it might be advisable to have any new players, such as friends people might have, sign up for these boards, so as to get any news updates about the guild.

So, if you're interested, just say so in this thread, and I'll edit this post and keep a running tally of names. Optionally, put down how much time you'd estimate you'd be able to put toward this, weekly, your prefered playing times, and any ideas for the RP nature of the guild and the name.

Count me in!

I'll be an Undead Priest (name TBA) who's trying to save his soul in the afterlife because of the harsh deeds he did in life. As far as theme I could really do anything. My dead guy wasn't a good guy in life so it would make sense that in death he still falls back to his old ways so the Merc theme would be okay. I usually play between 9-11 (central time) on week nights and could devote all that time to the guild.

Hopefully I'll roll up sometime this weekend.

Murglor

12-30-2005, 08:54 AM

I can be counted in as well, although this will be a part-time gig for me. My WoW time tends to fall between 6:30 PM and 12:30 AM Eastern Time; I'm pretty well locked into playing on my primary server Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings.

I'll be playing an Orc named (appropriately enough) Murglor. He's rather smarter than people would expect him to be, very bound up with ideals of honorable behavior and personal loyalty. I envision something a bit (or perhaps a lot) like Roy from Order of the Stick. I'm happy to play a Warrior, Rogue, or Shaman; I'm pretty familiar with the first two of those classes but never really get tired of playing them, and it might be a good thing for me to know what I'm doing. ;)

Blacksky Company sounds pretty cool to me as a guild name. We'll want to sort out guild tradeskills at some point - it really helps as a crafter to have people pass along any drops useful to your profession that they happen to get (chests often contain herbs, leather, or ore), and it puts us in a good position to have all our crafting bases covered when we hit endgame. People should clearly do what they want, but it never hurts to do a little extra coordinating.

Like I said, count me in. I may not be able to concentrate as much on this character as I do my main, but I do have a level 7 Tauren Druid, and a level 5 Undead Warlock. I'm available most evenings after 8 pm Pacific, and in the mornings before 9 am, as well as two variable days off per week.

Definately, but I'm rather hoping that with 20+ people and any possible alts they want to use in the guild, we'll have our bases covered. For what it's worth, my main (warrior) usually goes mining/armorsmith.

12-30-2005, 09:09 AM

It's funny, a bunch of my friends from meatspace were actually just talking about rolling on a server so we could play together, and I kind of dictated that it should be Kirin Tor, Hoarde.

So Mordenkar is allready there, ready to go. Allready ground out the initial newbie zone, so he's like 5 or 6.

He's a footman who served under Prince Arthas, and was awarded several medals for valor and gallantry (posthumusly).

Undead Warrior.
ROCK.

Like I said...I have no problems getting friends involved, too. My only real requirement is that they speak like we do here on the boards (I.E. leet-speak used only in jest and good fun, preferably typing with proper punctuation and capitalization). And it would be preferable if you'd lead them here, too.

Bogie

12-30-2005, 09:14 AM

I just fired WoW back up this week and started a new character on Kirin Tor (Bogatuus, Troll Mage) and I'd like to get in on this. I'm pretty casual most of the time getting on most weeknights between 9:00pm and 12:00 am CST.

12-30-2005, 09:18 AM

Alright.. I rolled an Undead Priest named Chatterskull, and his services are at your beck and call.

If, of course, my deluge of other characters doesn't keep me from him ;)

RP:

Chatterskull's... transition... has addled him somewhat. Distrustful of anything that bleeds, Chatterskull nevertheless puts up a not-too-convincing facade of thinking the fleshies are "just ducky!", even going so far as to learn to heal them so as to better win their trust. What Chatterskull doesn't know is that the mistrust of the flesh that hides behind his pleasant veneer is also a facade. Actually, he likes them quite a bit! Or doesn't he? Blasted fleshies, confusing poor Chatterskull! Bah!

12-30-2005, 09:19 AM

Hmmm... something off-theme for me, maybe... perhaps an Orc Hunter... would definitely be interested, though. I'm generally available from 8:30 to 10:30 Central Time.

Have we given any thought as to the purpose of the guild other than being an RPG.net group? Are we going to be RP-heavy? RP-light? Or are we just going to be a Raid/Instance guild? (My vote is for one of the two former.)

IceShadow

12-30-2005, 09:43 AM

My play leans toward PvE. PvP holds little interest for me, since the rewards require so much effort from the get-go...although if some people in the guild want to do nothing but make a group to play in Arathi Basin, I'd be fine with that.

My plans so far are for RP-medium to heavy. I don't know if I would be any good at coordinating actual events, but people would be expected to remain in character in all /says and /yells, and probably in the guild chat, too. We can join a chat channel for OOC talk, I think.

All this subject to the will of the greater masses, of course.

Define "RP-heavy" and "RP-light"? I see them bandied about a lot but I don't know what, exactly, they're supposed to mean.

My ideal form would be "We'd prefer you to remain in character, but if you drop out of character every once in a while, no big deal." Also, IMO, Guild channel should be OOC, since you can hear it from anywhere on Azeroth and I don't THINK that guild affiliation grants telepathic powers.
That'd lean more toward RP-light. Which is fine, too.

And there's always IC ways to explain things. One thing mentioned to me yesterday was how one player had a character whose guild chat was all IC, through engineered communication devices. I thought that was fairly clever. :D But either way would be fine with me.

eskatonic

12-30-2005, 10:26 AM

Urzael, Undead Warlock and general cranky-ass corpse, can join you as well. I think he's level 22 or so.

His hobbies include macramé, alchemy, summoning hideously evil spirits from the pits of hell, moonlight walks along the shores of Silverpine, and making festive windchimes from the hollowed-out bones of Night Elves.

On Kirin Tor I've heard the RP zealots say that General Chat is goblin radio, and should be IC.

Troll Shaman

I'm not sure where to go with skills. Skinning/Leatherworking works so well. But, I'd like to try something new.

I'd favor RP-light. In part, due to my limited knowledge of the WoW backstory. I am interested in PvP, but I more interested in doing it within context, such as defending the Crossroads and doing raids on Alliance positions.

This would definitely be an alt to my Tauren Hunter on the Aggramar server, but I generally play any five days out of a week, usually from 9:30 - 12:30 p.m. Central.

EDIT: I would definitely be interested in having a guild to group with. Most of the active folks in my main's guild are 50+. So, at 26, I am mostly on my own.

Even though I'm just a lurker here on RPGnet, I'd just like to say that I would be fairly interested in joining a RP guild on Kirin Tor, especially with members of RPGnet founding it. I've got a level 22 Forsaken Rogue kicking around on the sever. I'd love to get back to playing Razylia.

On guild purpose:

PvE is groovy - I for one would love to get in-guild instance runs going, as all else is pretty easily soloable and being able to keep instances within a guild makes life a lot easier with regard to tactics and loot distribution.

I will definitely be PVPing at some point, because I love it, but that obviously won't happen for some time.

I love the idea of an in-character guild chat. The Earthtreaders, a Feathermoon guild, do something I find quite clever. They designated the regular /g channel to in-character only, and have a separate channel for OOC and metagame talk.

On professions:

I've leveled up a little and have chosen my professions. Eventually, I'd be happy to be the guild tailor and enchanter. However, being that I've done just that before, I've learned from my mistakes and want to do it right.

That means I'm a tailor/miner for now, and won't touch enchanting with the proverbial ten-foot pole until another thirty or so levels from now, when I have a few gold to my name and can easily farm greens.

On names:

I'd be happy to wear the Blacksky Company name once more. If I could make a suggestion, though, go with the golden leafy border for the tabard. It's much more stylish than the plain. ;)

On New Year's:

Happy New Year.. I'm out of town for the weekend. Hope to see you all in-game soon.

Iceberg3k

12-30-2005, 12:28 PM

On time:

I will only be able to be on KT some of the time, as I hardly intend to abandon my character on Feathermoon. However, it will be nice to be in a guild that works.

I'll be snagging a new gamecard tonight, but won't be on until tomorrow.

My general window of play will be 6 to about 12 Mountain time during the week, and any time during the weekends.

Thinking of playing wither a Rogue or a Priest, i'm not sure yet.

I like to sneak, but i also like casting spells and stuff.

IceShadow

12-30-2005, 12:50 PM

On Kirin Tor I've heard the RP zealots say that General Chat is goblin radio, and should be IC.
I ignore both sides of that argument. Just like I ignore most of general chat.

I just want to say thanks to Iceshadow for picking up the ball with this and to everyone who's signed up just after a few hours of discussion. Now all we gotta do is make this work! I'll make my Forsaken tonight when I get home.

I was gonna take up the profession of Tailoring/Herb but might go Alch/Herb instead.

Professor Phobos

12-30-2005, 01:50 PM

I've got an Undead Priest named "Rickon." I was going to eventually found an undead-only guild called "The Wight House" as a RP thing to take control of the leadership of the Forsaken away from Silvanus, but I really only like it because I like the pun, so Blacksky is fine.

J Arcane

12-30-2005, 02:31 PM

More than happy to join up. Will still be splittin' time between this guy, and my Gnome mage over on Kilrogg though, as I have RL friends there, and I like my Gnome.

Lokroth is a Hunter. He's mostly been a hermit in the mountains for the past few years, ever since the war with Proudmoore's fleet. But times've been rough lately, and he's found himself in the service of the Horde once again. He says it's just cause the hunt ain't so good anymore up in the mountains, but one can't help wondering if it has more to do with some of the increasing human encroachments on Kalimdor, like the remnant of Proudmoore's fleet outside Razor Hill.

He is gruff, and to the point, and his mannerisms definitely show signs from time to time that he hasn't had much Orc-to-Orc contact in a good long while. He's got a hard work ethic to him, and a rather grim sort of determination in everything he does. He gets the job done.

Haven't decided on Professions yet, but thinking I'll probably go skinning/leather, mainly 'cause I always wanted to try skinning, 'cause having an excuse to kill all those random critters about is fun. and it'd be in character.

Murglor

12-30-2005, 02:34 PM

Well, I was far busier than I expected at work, but I'm now home and leveling my new rogue in the Valley of Trials. I'll be online for whatever portion of the evening is not taken up with dinner and a movie.

Oh, yes: I'm planning to be a skinner/leatherworker (elemental).

12-30-2005, 02:38 PM

oh god...I hat you all.

count me in. I just started a troll priest last night and I'll sign on if people are going to try and make this work.

I usually am on around 6 to 12 pm central time weekdays. Weekends I can be on a lot more. Obviously this weekend won't be a good example of that (time to get drunk on corn liquor fer the new year!), and the next few weeks of work may leave me a little exhausted, but I'll try to level where I can.

I don't have any great ideas for guild concept- but I know I want to play something of a "troll supremecist" sans the negative connotations (beyond those of just being a troll)...he's convinced that the history of of Azeroth has been written from an "elven" perspective, and that the obviously great history of the trolls (and the inherent fact that had the humans and elves not worked together to curb stomp the troll empires centuries ago, the planet would be a far better place) has been ignored. any interest?

edit: profession-wise, I'll be going herbalism and skinning- selling for cash or willing to provide to you crazy kids for free or fair trade.

J Arcane

12-30-2005, 02:41 PM

Actually, skinning + herbs or mining doesn't sound half bad to me either. I've been wanting to try the double gathering approach for some time. Sooo much cash . . .

Iceberg3k

12-30-2005, 02:45 PM

Skinning-Leatherworking is a no-brainer for me, being a hunter. Or maybe a dual fabricator like Leatherworking-Blacksmithing, if I can count on some of our dual gatherers to keep me in mats.

Also, if we could get a private subforum here, that would be doubleplusgood and keep our guild talk from overwhelming OGO.

IceShadow

12-30-2005, 02:48 PM

We're up to 16 people now. I know Woodsmoke is interested...and I believe someone else was on last night, as well who hasn't posted here yet. Plus, it sounds like GoBP might have some other people interested.

It also looks like Blacksky Company is good to go.

When you get on tonight, if you do, type /join RPGnet . We've got a couple people who are higher level, and can probably spring for the 10s for a guild charter...I'll run all over when I get on and have the charter, and get signatures, that's not a problem.

We'll worry about more formal guild organization and guidelines, RP-wise and such, when we've put it together. I'd like something that pleases the largest number of people.

Hey there. I'm just a lurker on RPGnet, but it just so happens that I recently started a Horde character on Kirin Tor, and it would be fun to be in a guild with other roleplay enthusiasts. My heretofore main character is a human mage on Greymane and I cannot freaking take the community there anymore. I'll probably keep playing my old one sometimes (I got him up to level 47, seems a shame to stop now), but I'm liking the new one quite a bit so far too. Wish I'd picked an RP server for my main, though.

My Kirin Tor character is a level 10 undead warlock (I'm gonna go Demonology/Affliction with him, I think) named Voidseeker. I'm working on a backstory for him, I'll post it when I've got it all figured out.

Suffice it to say, I'd love to join your guild if you'll have me.

My apologies for the late arrival. I work at Domino's; was busy tonight, will be a madhouse tomorrow. I'll surely be on both nights, though.

My character is a level 13 Tauren (Feral) druid named Asurac. Professions are Skinning/Leatherworking, with the current plan being to specialize in Tribal Leatherworking when I get there. Such plans are, of course, subject to change.

I haven't really thought of a history for him yet, and I intentionally gave him a rather vague character concept. He's basically a young philosopher, seeking above all else to gain knowledge and understanding of the world he lives in. Likely would have been right at home as a student of Socrates.

Don't know as I've got any guild theme ideas, I usually don't even give any thought to joining a guild unless asked by someone whom I've gotten to know and had some great RP with. I see no reason I couldn't go with the Blacksky Company, so long as we're allowed plenty of independence and individuality within the ranks. Not to imply I don't play well with others, but I can be independent to a fault, and have been known to "swim against the current" simply for spite on a number of occasions. Simply put, I suppose, I'm just too damn stubborn for my own good. ;)

Edit: Forgot to include, my regular game hours are usually about 11PM-3AM Server time (10P-2A Mountain), though I occasionally stay up longer or am unable to log in until later. Tonight being a prime example of the latter. Most of this time is usually spent with one of my 7 Alliance alts on Shadow Council, but with the steam our "movement" seems to be collecting I'd be more than willing to devote more time to Kirin Tor.

Those hours may (hopefully will) change when I find another (better) job, at which time I'll update accordingly.

So, I was very happy to be one of the founding members! I only hung out with other guild members briefly, but it was very nice to have guild chat going on that wasn't full of "leet-speak" and bizarre, apparently genuine, vitriol for in-game factions, races and classes (some of the guilds I've belonged to in this game, I'll tell ya...)

Good day for me though...Voidseeker got two levels and his Voidwalker! I'm finding warlock playstyle to be much more interesting than that of my mage, I must say.

Can't wait to go on again! Hopefully soon...

I intend to be on as soon as possible...which means monday most likely- but after reading this thread I get the feeling we have 4-5 priests other than the one I was planning on playing. I'm thinking of either a shaman (they seem neat, there seems to be only one other listed in the thread so far, and I'd love to really kick some WSG arse), warrior (I really enjoy warriors, I just worry I don't have leet tabbing skills when it comes to holding 3 or so enemies), or mage (no one has listed one yet- but I kind of feel weird playing a non-priest caster).

I'm likely going to stick with the character concept I mentioned above- any thoughts on class?

Elizabeth Brooks

I am going to play. I'm not sure what, though. I've been pondering what character to play for the past few hours, so that's a sign.

Heh, I was doing the math for my character, maybe this will help? Admittedly my numbers may be off, but it's not by a lot (I hope).

2 Druids (Taurens)
2 Hunters (Orcs)
1 Mage (Troll)
6 Priests (4 Undead, 2 Troll)
2 Rogues (1 Undead, 1 Troll)
1 Shaman (Troll)
5 Warlocks (4 Undead, 1 Orc)
3 Warriors (1 Undead, 1 Orc and 1 Tauren)

Yeah, my numbers look off but at least you get a sense of the distribution.

For people worrying about what to make: play something you'll enjoy. I'd like to see our guild tackle MC eventually, and MC works best when a guild can get 4-6 players of each class online at the same time; that means we need a whole bunch of people in every class. WoW's classes are also flexible enough that every class can join a five-main instance in at least two of the three possible roles (tank, healer, damage). As long as you're having fun with your character, things will work themselves out.

Murglor, you've been listening to Elbast too much (or he's been listening to you, LOL!). ;)

IceShadow, thanks for coordinating this. I really appreciate the organization and enthusiasm.

I'm thinking of a Tauren Shaman. I don't like Taurens because of their size, but maybe a female will be easier for me to navigate? I know nothing about that area and my alt Shaman on Bronzebread is only level 18, so I see a lot of learning in my future. :)

IceShadow

12-31-2005, 10:11 AM

I'm inclined to agree with him, actually.

If you're not having fun with your character because you don't enjoy the play style of the class, you won't be playing as much. And having an evenly balanced spread of five or six characters in each class isn't very useful if only a handful of people are playing at any given time. :)

Put me down for interest. But it'll take me a while to start. I live in Hawaii so I'll probably pop up pretty late, but I don't play all night. I guess my times would be 8:00-1:00 at night Mon-Sat, and anytime on Sun. All dependant on class load and other stuff, of course. I might pop up in the middle of the day, too, as I have some classes that don't start till later next semester on Monday and Wednesday.

by the way- are people here using flagRPS or ephemeral (spelling may be off)?
I just downloaded flagRSP, but I'm not really sure what I can do with it. So far, I've set a surname and a title, and that's about it.

woodsmoke

12-31-2005, 03:09 PM

I'll see where the numbers lie come monday (booze!), but I'm leaning towards a warrior- I've really found the play style of a warrior enjoyable.

by the way- are people here using flagRPS or ephemeral (spelling may be off)?

Been using FlagRSP ever since you advised it a month or two ago, and loving it. :D

Tried downloading Ephemeral at one point but couldn't figure out how to make it work, so I scrapped it. If I could get some help with it, though, I'd certainly be willing to give it another go.

And Murglor's right. I've wanted to play a Tauren druid since I first got the game, and now that I've been given this extra motivation to spend time with Asurac I can't get enough.

Play what appeals. It really does work out for the best. ;)

Count me in. Although i've got CC commitments, being able to jump quickly into a proper guild is a definite draw.

Jhest. Arabella Ninon Jhest to be accurate. When Arabella's "beloved" family fell to the scrouge she found her own survival a fantasic joke. Death really was the ultimate release, escape from a life of servitude to her lazy father and brothers, her domineering mother. In recognition of this great cosmic joke, she uses her rather appropriate surname as a moniker.

edit: added character notes

FlagRSP (http://www.flokru.org/flagrsp/) is an interface addon for roleplayers. It allows you to:

Here is an overview of the features flagRSP provides:

* Set one of four roleplaying flags to show other players your preffered roleplaying style. These flags will be visible to other flagRSP users.
* Set one of four character states to show other players how much in character you currently are, if you are searching for contact or if you are trying to tell a story.
* Choose a surname and title for your character that other users can see.
* Enter a description of the outward appearance of your character that other users will be able to see.
* An enhanced Friendlist with the possibility to add players (of both factions), NPCs and even guilds.
o Choose several categories (currently "Friend", "Foe", "Known"; more will follow) for all entries.
o Add detailed notes containing of multiple lines for each entry.
* Hide names of unknown players and replace exact level information of all units by relative ones (from "extremely puny" to "hopelessly superior"). Both options are optional!
* Character settings (surname, title, description, RP flag, character state) can be configured via GUI. More graphic dialogs will follow.
* Completely localized in English and German. Also fully compatible with the French WoW client (flagRSP itself will be English on French client).
* Every feature is optional.

I made yet another priest. I didn't think there would be this many. I wanted to try one out since I have never played one before.

She is level 11 now. Her professions are skinning and tailoring both at about 80 now. So far, he clothes she can make are only good for lowbies. I will be using some leather but not nearly as much as I will be skinning so I can provide some of that as well as clothes and bags. Probably the most useful thing I will be doing is making bags for people to carry all their stuff in.

I want to get good enough to make one of these http://www.thottbot.com/?i=24750

Her background is not fully formed yet. I know she was a librarian before she died and lived a simple, quiet life. She went to bed early one night because she was feeling under the weather. The next thing she knew, she was waking up in a crypt. She thinks that many of the other Forsaken are unneccessarily rude and prone to saying odd things like proclaiming they are Forsaken as if this isn't obvious. She has been known to hush people at odd moments especially in the presence of books or indoors. It seems to be a reflex.

I haven't figured out what to do with talents and I don't know much about the priest ones. I haven't spent any of her talent points yet. Any tips?

I won't be able to log on again until next Friday. Mostly I am on Thursday and Fridays and a bit on Saturday.

My main is a female Tauren Hunter, Lvl 26. The only real time I've had a problem maneauvering was in Booty Bay where there are lots of low ceilings. I can't imagine what Booty Bay is like for a bull. Occaisonally, when my 2H axe is on my back, it seems that the handle catches on the corners of doorways.

I had a problem the other night playing WC with a bull Warrior. His size made it difficult to target the mobs that he was fighting.

As for editing the wiki, Wikipedia has a nice tutorial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction).

I'm also worried my character may have disappeared, because there's no number next to Kirin Tor on the server list. That'll REALLY piss me off.

This happens to me all the time - anywhere from one to three servers I have characters on stop displaying the characters, but they're always on the server, just as I left them.

IceShadow

01-03-2006, 08:03 AM

Hmm...I've been a little curious about RP servers. I'm not entirely sure how much I'd like it, but I have been curious, and I do have a tendency to interact with my environment and answer back to lippy mobs a bit more than the average non-RP bear :p

So the question is, can I add another server to my life? (In addition to my main, level 40 paladin, on the PVP server I originally joined innocently 'because my friends were there'; and my escape character, a lvl 18 troll rogue I rolled up on a PVE server because trying to quest on a PVP server was giving me an ulcer and a migraine. Both. All at once.)

So, if I happen by I'll let you know. But I'll be a puny little level 1, and scared to death of RPing, and generally lost. :)
No one on an RP server is required to roleplay...the only thing that's at all enforced is that your name should be an appropriate one, given the world. If it's not, then someone can complain and a GM will ask you what you want it changed to.

Roleplaying does happen, but it's all consentual, not manditory.

And a good guild is there to help you with being lost. :)

IceShadow

01-03-2006, 08:04 AM

I have 4 toons that I play regularly on Kirin Tor. Krysha a 42 Undead Warrior, Chaasii a 39 Troll Hunter, Akhana a 26 Orc Shaman and Zamjin a 13 Troll Mage. Krysha and Chaasii are guilded, but any of them will be willing to lend a hand on instances, elite encounters and just adventuring buddies.
Cool...and if you want one or both of the others to join this guild, just let me know. Either way, join the RPGnet chat channel!

At first glance, the RP seems pretty muted anyhow. Most of the exposure you'll have to it at first will be through the /general channel, which is as always a den of iniquity when it's not actively a den of stupidity.

But!

People do tend to roleplay quite a bit within guilds, or "out in the open" as it were, in /say mode - typically in areas where lots of people congregate, such as outside the Ogrimmar auction house.

Our own guild channel seems to be an on-the-fly mix of in-character and out, but at the very least we can guarantee passable grammar!

After playing WoW for nearly a year, the last 72 hours have been jammed with more RP than all my previous outings combined. I know, I know - I was *amazed*. The RP was prevalent throughout the Tauren starting areas, something that I never dreamed would happen.

I don't expect it to last but it sure has been great. Combined with the enthusiasm of our Guild, I found today (at work) to be an awful, WoW-withdrawal-laden day at my desk. I gotta queue up for tonight; must have! :cool:

I have made Karyus, an undead rogue.

He was a decorated warrior under Arthas, leader of men whose name was sullied when it was learned that he loved an orc woman. He was forced out of his command by the jeering and hostility of his unit, and he began offering his skills to the highest bidder as a mercenary.

When death found him, he almost welcomed a mindless undeath as a member of the Scourge, but instead of that mercy, he was "saved" by the forces of the banshee Silvanus. Robbed of his true death in mindless battle, Karyus has pledged himself to life hidden in the shadows. He has come to see that this new "life" offers him a chance to find his beloved once more, and to drag her down into the shadows with him forever.

I haven't played a rogue in a while, so I'm not sure how much I'll stick with him. I also would like to play a druid, too, so if the rogue doesn't work out, I'll roll up a druid.

But for now, Karyus. Word.

Still, if I get any stacks, I'll make it a point to send 'em along. I'd been selling my linen, on account of I figure there's plenty of folks by now who don't have much problem getting it themselves.

I can get linen fairly easily. The humanoids I kill now drop the stuff. Also, there a ton of it in guild supplies now. The most useful thing I can make with linen is linen bags and we have tons of those too. I will need some for upping my tailoring and making bits for my own use but I can easily get that myself or dip into our substantial reserves if I really need more.

The Britches are about the best I have now.

Actually, for the moment, I'd recommend disenchanters do the repeatable turn-in quests for the Ahn-Qiraj opening (unless, of course, you're still reliably skilling up off those items).

I turned in a stack of 20 copper, and got a random green and 10 tokens that I turned in for two more random greens, all around level 15 or so. More importantly, these random greens were a good mix of armour and weapons (weapons tend to disenchant into magic essences, while armour tends to disenchant to dusts).

Edit: I just had a look at some of the new enchanting oils on Thottbot... They're not bad! The oils are like sharpening stones for mages - apply them to your weapon for a 30-min boost to spell damage or mana regeneration! This actually makes enchanting a great deal handier as a general profession than before - which is to say, an exercise in penniless masochism until higher levels, then an exercise in trade-spamming masochism.

Chatty may become an enchanter earlier than I had thought!

We have bags. My god, do we have bags. All 6-slotters, but I've over two dozen.

I am finally hitting mobs that mostly drop wool and the occassional silk, so I can stop spamming Xaan with linen bags, and start spamming woolen ones.

:D

Also, I've started dropping linen cloth and bolts of linen cloth with Xaan, so up-and-coming tailors can play with it.

I have a new Troll shaman on Kirin-Tor named Karakia. My main server is Alleria, but I can try to play at least once or twice a week on Kirin-Tor.

Karakia is a bit sheltered, as far as Trolls go. She has only recently come into contact with the rest of the Horde and is wary of the Trolls' precarious position and lack of a homeland. She longs for her old home in the jungle but is adapting to her new life.

Tar Markvar

01-05-2006, 09:27 AM

So, playing last night, I learned that our guild has a ton of warriors (actually described as a "plethora") and only like 3 hunters. Since my general tendency is to drift toward hunters anyway, I think I might go ahead and do that. I like warriors and others, but hunter seems to always be the class I go back to.

So I may be changing over to a troll hunter (gotta be a troll) and engineer when I play next. Not sure the name, but I'll go on RPGnet's channel and speak out.

Just so you know, my "play style" tends to be to start new guys until one sticks. I have tons of lowbies and one character in the mid-40s on other servers. So I likely won't partake of guild services until I'm in my teens or so and know if I'm likely to keep a given character.

But I really want to play with you guys and get into some WoW RP. Especially since the troll character I have in mind is a bit of a "troll supremacist" who thinks that the way the trolls have relied on the orcs' "hand-outs" is shameful and that the ultimate goal is to find a real trollish homeland for his people.

Oh, and I want to ride a raptor. So there we go. :)

I'm in the same boat on Bronzebeard. That said, I'm enjoying playing Ednae so much that I deleted* the level 18 Shaman that I had over there.

01-05-2006, 10:32 AM

Lots of warriors is never an issue. We're going to need several for end-game runs, and not everyone is going to be prot-specced.

By the by, I still need Druid and Warrior officers. If anyone wants to step up, let me know.

The Warrior officer shouldn't stress about having prior experience with the class, just about being available and willing to help organize. I'm pretty verbose, and love sharing what knowledge I do have about the game (see also: rambling, boasting), and while I may not be online as much as I'd like on Kirin Tor, I'm pretty good about returning e-mail and private messages.

Also, apologies again for not being online much over the last few days. I'm not sure what my Magtheridon guild has in the works for tonight, but I don't intend to see them at all on Friday or Saturday.

IceShadow

Several of the warriors just haven't gotten back to me. I have a few people in mind, but they seem more interested in other servers.

Druids, it's pretty much a "whoever wants the role can have it" at this point, since most people have responded, and declined.

I have a few people in mind, but they seem more interested in other servers.It seems counter-intuitive (to me) to get the job when I a) know so little about warriors and b) the horde side in general. Plus, as you stated, I don't know how often I'll be around at the moment.

It's interesting how different the game is from the horde side, to me. I feel like I'm learning WoW all over again. :eek:

I have to say that I'm really enjoying our guild! Lots of good RP and great company.

After my push to get to lvl 20 with my preist, I decided to make another character. Gixx is a troll Hunter. I'm not sure about his story yet, but I'll work on one. I like my preist, but we have a few already.

With that said, I am going to have to say play what you want. If you'd like to play a warrior, go with the warrior. Sure we have a few, but I would rather have the guild be filled with nothing but warriors rather than a guild that doesnt have any fun.

Dont get me wrong I like my preist, but I miss being a part of the fighting. And I miss my Hunter on Staghelm.

I'd say our guild is quite balanced, and if there's an overabundance of warriors and priests at the moment... well... that's actually really, really awesome. Warriors are always handy, and every other guild in the world complains of having too FEW priests, not too many. ;)

By the way, I've made my hunter. A troll named Jakkat.

I haven't decided on his background. I'm thinking he thinks the trolls have gone a little soft and could use a little brutality in their lives. What "brutality" is to a troll is probably up for question. :)

He'll likely be a skinner/leatherworker.

I'd love it if he could join the team. :)

Thanks!

And would it be helpful to somehow denote those of us who've memorized much of the early game for the Horde so those newbies can hit us for questions?

I'm pretty new to the Horde. I've played an Undead Mage to 24, but never gotten a tauren, orc, or troll out of the starting zone before.

woodsmoke

01-05-2006, 09:07 PM

I'm new to the Horde side of the game as well--along with grouping, being part of a fairly cohesive unit, and likely a few other things not mentioned here. ;)

That said, I've wanted to play a Tauren Druid from the day I first got the game, and now that desire has finally seen the light of day you couldn't pay me enough to go back on it. Asurac lives, and he's not going anywhere but up! :D

Ice, if you can't find anyone else to fill the position, I suppose I could fill the shoes of Druid class lead. As I (think I) said in my reply to you, I'd actually like to give it a shot, but I don't have much experience with the whole leadership thing (organizing people, etc.), and that in conjunction with my rather erratic hours at present simply made it seem like a bad idea to take on duties which I may not be able to perform fully at this point. If the rest of the Company is willing to have some patience and (a lot of) forgiveness while I learn the ropes and try to figure out a way to make it work, however (and assuming someone better able to perform doesn't step up), I won't mind signing my name.

If I may suggest, character pages on the Wiki might be a good idea, since FlagRSP's character description panel is for physical description only and not for the character's background. I know that writing things down for my character's backstory helps ME stay in character, and it might help others.
I have no problem with people making wiki pages for their characters, and then linking to them from their character's name on the table of members.

I'd like to have it standardized, however. I think JUST your character name for the wiki page, and putting them all into a Category would be best.

I'd like to put forward the idea that since the guild has so many members so recently, that we are in the fairly unique position of having a large group of characters of roughly the same level. This affords us great grouping opportunities.

That is to say, has any thought gone into scheduling BG nights or scheduled instance runs? I know we did a pickup group (two) of RC and WC the other night but more such events should be planned with advanced notice.

Any thoughts?

IceShadow

01-06-2006, 03:27 PM

Yes. Accept the Warrior Officer position, and start scheduling. :)

Seriously, that's what they're there for.

01-06-2006, 03:43 PM

In fact, based on our level spread, we should be just about ready for another WC and another RFC run.

It's rather up in the air at the moment, and I really don't plan on forcing it to happen any specific way. I'm sure something will materialize as the need arrives and we hit closer to instancing.

Right now, I'm fine with doing off-the-cuff scheduling of instance runs. Finding a 5-man pickup group within our guild is rather easy at the moment, with 10+ people on at a time.

Topher

Heh, I'm beginning to think I should have Elbast tattoo it across my forehead...

As far as character class/builds go, there's really only one rule. "Play what appeals." ;)

We would rather have a happy guild full of just one class than a guild with an even spread wherein half or more of the people don't enjoy their character/role. Fortunately for us, we have the best of both worlds. We have pretty well every class but Paladin ( :p ) covered by at least two or three characters, and everyone's enjoying themselves because they're playing what they want to.

01-07-2006, 04:54 PM

Well then, thanks to my long-time gaming pal J'Dai, this is my first post on RPGnet (which you can take as a disclaimer/excuse if I do something REALLY stupid ;) )

It has come about because of my strong desire (lust?) for even a little RP while playing WoW. So, hearing about Blacksky Company got me pretty excited! To this end, if ya'll will have me, I have the following character to play on Kirin-Tor:

Name: Rastifari - Troll - Female - Mage - Currently lvl 9
- She likes fire, alot. Hates water (you know what that stuff DOES to fire?!) Refers to all magic as "voodoo". She's really fascinated with the Forsaken, because she believes they possess special magic, more powerful than any other. In fact, she's tempted to kill herself, so she can become "undead" and gain access to this power, but is afraid it "wouldn't work" and she'd just be dead ;) Not really "evil" exactly, but certainly lacks empathy for her "victims", far more interested in the magic involved.

Trades: Tailoring and Herbalism - likes plants and flowers, but harvests them for the money. Tailoring is her second passion. A fashion fanatic really... How things look is more important than what properties it may have. Always searching for new patterns, and is VERY flattered to have her friends wear her creations (man, I wish we could dye stuff different colours in this game!)

Hope to see you all there soon!

woodsmoke

01-07-2006, 06:21 PM

Welcome aboard, Conor! Glad to see our influence is reaching beyond our little corner of the web. :p

I don't know exactly how much can be done in the way of tailoring for a Tauren, but Asurac will be sure to speak up if he likes anything Rastifari churns out. ;)

....Famous last words, I'm afraid. It's a good thing I have no aspirations for a career involving any kind of digital coding. I have enough trouble with basic HTML. :confused:

Long story short, I did as you suggested, copying the code from your profile to mine and changing/adding information where necessary (opting for yours rather than Iceberg's because I'm lazy, and you already had more character "slots" in your profile--I still had to add 3, though). Whenever I hit "save page," however, I keep getting the following error message:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "SearchMySQL4::update". MySQL returned error "1016: Can't open file: 'searchindex.MYI'. (errno: 145) (localhost)".

I haven't the slightest clue what this may mean, all I know is it seemed to imply the information didn't go through.

Anyway, upon getting home from work tonight I pulled up the wiki, intent on once again copying out the information from your user data and changing it to suit my own. Upon doing so, however, I discovered I had somehow unwittingly submitted my own information as yours, so that clicking upon the link in your name now leads to a listing of my characters. Before I'm overcome with the urge to start baa-ing and stand in line to be sheared, I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies. :o

I did eventually pull up my own profile and discover my information was all there as I had submitted it. All that's left now is to get Murglor's forgiveness and then find out how to link my account profile to my name in the Blacksky Company list.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out how to link to my account in the list. After doing a little study of the code for my personal character list it wasn't difficult to do, though I did preview and thoroughly scan the altered list to ensure I hadn't screwed up anything else before saving the change. I only wish I could remember the information for Murglor's characters so I could restore his profile without inconveniencing him.

The wiki's been giving me that error with each change I make, but it saves the changes anyhow.

EDIT: It also saves past edits. So I'll just undo yours. :)

EDIT EDIT: And done

Where's the "big sigh of relief" emote when I need it?

Thanks, Ice! Much appreciated! :)

No harm done at all. Glad things were not only resolved, but resolved completely without my involvement or awareness.

I'm on holidays at the moment, and the recent patch has convinced me to give WoW another shot. I was planning to start a new tauren druid (Balance/Moonkin) anyway, so horde on an RP server works perfectly for me. I'm installing/patching as I type, but should be able to create a character later tonight or early tomorrow.

Personality-wise I'm thinking of a zen, slow-to-act youth; who favours a truce with the alliance in the interest of the greater good. A name is of course, pending (subject to availability on the server).

Well I'm up and running. Kaelthos, currently level 5 Tauren Hunter, working on killing those damned bristlebacks at the moment. Bastards.

I'll bug you guys more once I hit level 10 or so. Right now I'm just enjoying exploring my little corner of the world and going on quests for the Tauren village and shooting things with my blunderbuss. I'll come up with more of a description and background and personality once I get the hang of things and dig into the world background some more. (Yeah, I've never played regular Warcraft)

Anyways, hello.

I've given up mining in favour of enchanting!

Tonight, somewhere around 8pm Server Time, a few of us intend to tackle Ragefire Chasm.

So far, we have:

Signed:
Thundersong, Shaman
Ramijin, Mage
Gixx, Hunter
Rastifari, Mage

Expressed Interest:
Murglor, Rogue - tomorrow, not today.
Zulakiyani - possibly tomorrow
Ainu - possibly tomorrow, possibly tonight as well
Eschaton - tonight or tomorrow

Let us know if you're interested. The level range is 13-17 or so, and it's an excellent chance to win some early reputation gains with your faction, to get that lovely discount on training fees.

If you are interested (and why wouldn't you be? ;) ), be sure to finish Thrall's quest to find a Lieutenant's Insignia in Skull Rock. That quest eventually leads to Hidden Enemies, an RFC quest that will reward you with experience and a choice of excellent low-level weapon.

We're looking for three more, so post if you're interested and we'll get a lineup going.

Yeah, thanks for the res. I was playing a little careless, figuring Aragul couldn't do much to me at 27. Man, was I wrong!

And that might've helped to the TPK, too. :(

I'm level 18, Ragefire quests are clogging my log, and I'm eager to go, but...

My guild is running Onyxia (farm status) and Ragnaros (omgwtfbbgpwnage status) this evening at 7:00 Central, and we probably won't be done before 10:30 or 11:00. I should try out this "sleep" thing I've heard so much about immediately afterward, but I'll likely log to Kirin Tor for an hour of fishing, raptors, and socializing.

I do want to run RFC, though. If you can't get enough people tonight (not likely), or want to go back and run it a second time (more likely? elites are good xp and great loot), I'd love to jump in tomorrow.
