Ok so not this guild.  Like I brought some guys over from my DDO guild and of course shit went down.. and I don't even really care.. its all stupid shit.  Anyway it looks like I'm gonna pull Minmei out of Bat Country and join the guild they are in now.

I'm gonna keep my RP in Bat Country if you all don't mind, I like playing with ya all though.. it kinda sucks hehe.

If there's any problems with this let me know, I don't wanna be a hassle or have any hard feelings and crap.  So I thought I should just give you all a heads up.

hehe it was the Dude thing.. and then Goodwin left.  I've been playing with these guys for 2 years in DDO and it would make shit awkward over there. 

It's really nothing against you all.  I'm sure that Dude probably overreacted but he's pretty stubborn in his ways sometimes.

Oh right, that.

Seriously, don't go with them. Didn't Dude end up with Grudge and Goodwin ended up not joining because they were horrible?

Dude thinks guilds are popularity contest.  I hope he feels special that he pulled a few people away from Bat Country.

I'll cope, but calling Tazel petty about this is kind of weird. It happened because Dude took things on the internet too seriously. :shrug:

I thought Goodwin's pretty funny. I like his internet jerk philosophy. Was a pity. I noticed he was gone and wondered where he went for a while.

Schild was an annoying bastard on vent when i first partied him on my swordmaster i think. I was thinking what a fucking jerk he kept letting me die and go afk for me to farm for him. But it works out in the end.

It's okay to call me petty as long as you don't question my internet computer purchases.  That crosses the line.

I imagine that this was intended on your part. Picking a class that can't heal or buff that is.

Not necessarily, I picked it knowing zero skills, I just liked the name Shadow Warrior, didn't even know the stance mechanics until I was like level 8 in the beta.

Given WAR is heading into its first 30 days post-launch, Bat Country being deserted is SOP.

I blame T3.  I was hoping to claim a keep we took before attendance went to crap.  At this rate any keep we claim will be a hand me down from AK or grudge.

I've been logging on periodically and only see like 4-8 people on.  What happened to the "70 person guild" I was told about?

T3 is so long xp wise that people feel the need to grind xp to make progress. This causes burn out.  And if they do manage to get to T4 they get discouraged to find there is hardly anyone there.

For a while there it was pretty sweet.

EDIT:
I also should say that I am not feeling burned out.  Got all the inf for a chapter 14.  Did a couple dozen Scenerios.  Did a bunch of RvR both in T3 and T1.  My disappointment is not having very many BC to do it with.

At prime time we still get a dozen or more people on at once. Inevitably, a significant subset of them will be playing lowbie alts (half the fun in any game is exploring, even if that means exploring the different class mechanics) while a subset of those at the higher levels will have set up their objectives when fewer people were on and so will be less likely to join a group until they've ground out the influence, xp or renown that they are working on. So apart from the usual 'no longer shiny' aspect and the 'fuck paying monthly fees' aspect that some people adhere to, perhaps some of the problem is that the more 'persistent' players have adopted different play styles and there's less cohesion. Even though I'm back into leveling my IB, maybe it would make sense for some of the higher level folks to play T1/T2 alts and get multiple scenario groups going again.

A guild isn't much of a guild when it's nothing more than a chat channel.  This game is at its best when you have a steady group of decent players.  It's at its worst when you're dependant on random people you don't know for your fun.  Sigh.  Ohhhhh, I see.

I'm always up for some grouping. I can currently play any tier except 4. And within a few days I should be able to put Righ in T4, Ximenez in T3 and Irth in T2 so that I have all the possibilities covered.  Yahoo!

I still play CoH sometimes (not very often, but when I need a smash/boom/pow fix).

CoH/CoV is probably the best game for just this.  I was hoping that WAR would be the game to get my pvp fix from.  Well... if I can ever stay with it long enough to make it to the endgame.

Its actually more trivial to make it to the endgame than people have been suggesting. I did 22-28 since the +20% XP/RR came into play mostly from questing in one (Dwarf) story - Badlands / Black Fire Pass. Other than that I've done an Elf PQ chapter 14, and all the scout, battlefield and fedex quests from the warcamps in T3, and maybe a dozen or so scenarios. I think the XP rate from the scenario fun in T1/T2 caused a few people to see T3 as a grind (as well as the T3 scenario design, which is poor) - the overhead is not significant in MMOG terms if you just follow the red splotches on the map and organise the quests to avoid too much running/flying.

Put it this way - I'd rather do WAR 1-30 again than WoW 1-30 even without the +20% rate. It might be quicker to do the latter but in WAR you can take a break from running quests and still be gaining XP at a decent rate. Or you can take a break from soul-destroying scenario PUGs and still gain XP. Or, like me, you can mix up guild groups for 'skirmish' or keep RvR, PQs and scenarios, PUGs in scenarios, questing and even joining peoples' open groups and helping them while picking up some XP. T3 reminded me how much there is to do, and how fast the levels go by when you're not clock watching.
