Beta invite for this weekend.

Someone in another thread pointed out something that has made me reconsider; the people I tend to MMO with jump ship as soon as the next big MMO comes out. I've tried to follow them from one game to the next. The first couple months with them are fun, then they'd stop logging on so much until gradually I ended up the only person left online in a defunct guild.

I think that's something I miss from my old days in Everquest, was belonging to a solid guild that I knew was going to exist even when the "next big thing" comes out.

So I think I'm going to join the eGO Guild and just /friend my friends. I'll see if any are interested in coming along with me, though I can't make any promises.

What will likely end up happening is that I'll get them interested in eGO when their guild starts to crumble. That way we get the people that are more interested in the game in the long term. Plus I don't want to break any friendships by actively recruiting from another guild. That's a practice that is heavily frowned on within our little circle, a philosophy that comes from my Everquest days when reputation mattered ;P

Good idea Branaddar.

 

[Reverend_Rhah]

Its surprising how many are getting them in our circle. Perhaps I will be up for one soon.

Yeah that's sort of how I wound up joining eGO in the first place, friends kept jumping around and being so inconsistent I thought I'd give a clan a shot and since I was always on eGO's bc2 servers I figured "well why not them." so far not too bad I just have issues being social enough to get some of the members to play games with me...too much of a loner sometimes.

So my end plan with my friends is that we all have 2 characters, 1 that we only progress when the others are all on so we keep in the same story progression for those and 1 that we play whenever we damned well please.

To which note someone drag me into a grouping on the release day or something cuz I want to play with you guys but I just know it'll come out and I'll feel like everyones already ahead and I dont wanna slow them down or i'm too far ahead and we'll just be running in circles, I have issues.

 

[Branaddar]

I'm the kind of player that will always rather group up than play by myself. So I don't mind helping someone out, even if it's stuff I've already done.

Now, having said that, that doesn't mean it's free reign to beg Bran for help all the time and expect him to drop what he's doing But I know how it feels to be left behind and am all about making sure the game stays fun for people.

Well I can burn through quests pretty fast but the main enjoyment of the game is when you and the party are on the same stuff thanks to all the dialog things. If one person gets too far ahead or behind their at an entirely different position of story unless you were to co-ordinate online times

there will be plenty of people playing to help level with each other. We all need to get in groups of 4 and start tearing it up. then when we get to a certain point (lvl 20 or so we can start helping the people who can't play as much. I plan on trying to get through pretty get to the 30's or more, depending on my time I have. BUT I will be doing this with other people who want to get to 50 pretty quick. I don't mean fly through and skip quests, I;m talking about going through, enjoying each quest, and getting up there fast. With groups of 4 and you blow through these quests pretty fast. The higher level people will then help the lower level people get caught up and so on.

I played DAoc for almost 7 years and I hated people who flew through the levels and left the people who couldn't play as much in the dust. I want us to be a tight guild that helps everyone......which I'm sure we will.

Weekly raids, weekly leveling, all that jazz.

This game is going to be great, and we can all have fun and not feel rushed or anything. Let's just have some fun playing the Star Wars game we all have been waiting for.


FOR THE EMPIRE!!!!

(although Smuggler is a wicked fun class to play. and Trooper so I heard)

 

[Branaddar]

My playtimes are going to be too erratic to be able to commit to a static group. I'll be fine with scheduled events, but as far as levelling up, I'll have days when I can play all day and others where I'll not be playing much at all.

But, like Sniper said, I'm always down to help however I can.

XO I was thinking that myself after reading through this thread until I saw your post but anyways If you have it pre-ordered then you will get early access, so on the 20th some people will be a little higher level than most however that won't stop me from making another Character to help level with friends in need

 

[xosniper]

Hey Beav, can I borrow (steal) that TOR sig in your sig?
