so the guild ?

[Yardos]

so was wondering what we gunna do about the guild this time round, i know there quite a few of the equkers in here now that didnt get told about cuk at first when they joined i know there peeps from dip crops and the sps boards that are intrested in eq2 are we going to be letting them come in for trails or will be ending up deiciding what guild has the most of my friends in and going there again this time round?

 

[MarkS]

we'll let anyone in but just form a clique and treat everyone thats not part of said clique like crap

 

[Git]

who knows the secret of the black magic box ....

to be honest i would say the guild should be run but those from EQUK who were ClanUK and knew of us and let them sort it out, and then go from there but then again Dip Corps may well form there own guild :/ i know nothing about EQ2 but if it's the same as EQ and needs an uber guild then one tag would probably be the way forward...

soon as i'm high enough level i'm joining the uberest guild for phat l33ts.

Seriously though, last time we were very lucky to have somone as committed and thoughful about the guild as Unny. The way it looks at the moment it wont be a uber guild raiding type game rather small groups or group raiding, so in theory this could accomidate small guilds though i'm sure it would be easyer for grouping and organising if people were in one guild.

Agreed with git for the type of person for GM, somone who knows both EQ and the people from there and the guild would be advantageous.

If Clan UK starts an EQ2 guild then Roch will be GM if he plays or he'll most likely pick someone else. This process will probably be along the lines of "EQ sucks, **** off and sort it out yourself n00bs."

As we did for SWG, any member of EQUK gets automatic trial status with CUK and, given the amount of new full members we've picked up from there already, they're bound to get in.

I daresay the chimps on SPS are known to some CUK members so they should easily get trialled too if they want it.

I doubt anyone that was involved in the EQ guild in a big way would want to be involved in anything like it again, although that's just a gut feeling. I'd like everyone to be under one Banner as it were but if I understand right we'd need one good and one evil guild ?

I'd also like to say though that I joined EQ UK without really knowing about CUK and the reaon was all I'd heard about the guild, the friendships and in theory the ethos behind the guild (Which I'm pretty sure was still a word for word copy of CUK's). The reason I got to dislike the guild in EQ UK and the clique which formed were because it went against those basic principles. And ended up exploding because of it, everyone (well almost) learnt from this though and I'd hope we wouldn't see it happening again.

One guild to rule them all, one guild to bind them .. yadda yadda

We seem pretty much to have 3 "eq" playing groups, Dip Corps being the remenants of EQUK plus people from CUK, CUK and SPS (the guildname for the people from EQUK that decided to carry on playing eq 1 outside of EQUK).

From what i've seen guilds are designed to be much smaller in EQ2, not sure what the limit is but it wont be hindreds, maybe something like CoH?

The other thing is you have families - you share a surname and that gives you a way to recognise other members of the family and a communiation channel for the whole family without any of the objectives around guild success.

Maybe the way to go would be something like a ClanUK family to keep everyone intouch (effectively the cuk guild in EQ2 with all the normal trialing stuff) and then two "sub" guilds (Diplomatic Corpse & SPS or whatever) as cuk guilds - one evil based, one good so everyone is covered..

It all seemed to work well enough bringing everyone under the CUK banner in SW, COH, etc - no reason the same shouldn't work for EQ2

If one / other of the guilds decides it want's to go down the whole guild prestige route to umberness it will ned a dedicated group of officers and GM. I'm hazey on the details but the stuff you do in game effects you guild standing in the city ultimately confereing bonus to guildmembers (like increased mana regen, strength etc - a bit like DAoC when you held the three realms artifact things)

I'm sure Cad, flight or someone who actually knows what they're talking about will bealong in a min to turn my ramblings into facts

Just a thought...

 

[Agravaine]

Lets put it this way, none of you ****s are going to be running a CUK guild seeing as you managed to wreck your last one in spectacular fashion.

Ya aint doin' the same t'us ya here?

 

[Nymawae]

Begining to spot why aggy never persued a promising career in the diplomatic service

 

[Agravaine]

Be nice or i'll authorize the CUK account that Brammy set up 2 weeks ago

Hmm.......wonder if she want's to be GM.

 

[MarkS]

Bring back teh for EQ2 as well

it is time for Reunification... ill be ambassador Spock.. you can be Sarek

 

[Rochdale]

I've never trusted EQers, and I never will. I can never forgive them for the death of my boy.

 

[Nymawae]

Do you know I think I'd actually pay good money to see Brammy in here and the gibbering mess you chimps would turn her into

 

[MarkS]

I think shes hot, i dont care what people say, women dressed as zombies are fookin sexeh!

 

[Agravaine]

We are giving it serious thought just for the entertainment value.

I'm not even sure it's her but the email address looks familiar.

 

[Git]

[Agravaine]
