would love to come join you guys, am i too behind the level curve now if i start from scratch?

Someone may want to correct me but the whole point of this guild is that VG's low population has made us all 'behind the curve'  - so this guild has been created for mmorpg readers who want to experience VG but previously couldn't, due to the pop issue. So in essence, this is a leveling guild- the perfect place if you want the VG experience but don't want the low population experience.

 

Thats cool, I was just wondering if others in the guild would be near me lvl wise still, otherwise it would just be the same as being solo I guess...

Anyhoo... patching while I write this, so i guess I will see soon enough ;)

I've got tammah in guild - decided to try the warrior class after a few false starts. Casting/hybrid is not for me - I prefer to be right in there on the mob mixing it up if I'm not tanking!

 

Also gonna try talking my boyfriend into joining.

 

Pretty fun crew in the guild IMHO.

 The Warrior really shines with Dual Wield.  Also, I found they do a huge burst damage when pulling with a bow or crossbow.  Keep that in mind.

 

The Half Giant and Orc make great warriors if you can get by the butt ugliness of em.  Otherwise you will not be gimped by playing Human.  Humans get the most points to spend but, no racial bonuses for any particular stat.

 

That goes for everyone else too.  Stats for Humans are flexible.  Basically what another class gets in racial stats a human class can almost match.  These makes them very versatile on all of the classes.  Some races get special bonuses and some times 1 more point in a stat that a human can match.  This makes them slightly better though at the higher level where your 50 extra con or str or int will be felt.  THe lower levels it will barely phase you.

 

For casters I like the Dark Elf or Gnome.  The Gnome gets a huge bonus on intel with some crytal thingies I have never toyed with and the Dark Elf gets a spell damage bonus from its Halifur pet starting at level 12 or so. 

 

Those have been the ones I have done the most investigation on as to what benefits the best.

 

I went with one of the qathalaians or however you say it for the invulnerability. He is TEH HAWT and he can also be invulernable too!

All real warriors are gnomes. Just thought that should be said.

Close but no cigar, you mean Halflings ofc.

I'm going to look into resubscribing and joining you guys.  I'm interested in playing a Blood Mage or Necromancer.  Looks like I have a little reading to do! 

No one is too low level to join us, or start up even from level 1. Everyone is more than welcome to join us. Just like EQ2, we have a mentor system as well, which allows us to be able to mentor down to our lower-level members level and participate in groups and such. Mentors even get exp as well, for doing that, so there is always incentive for them to mentor down.

If you're interested in VG in the slightest bit, definitely think about coming back and giving it another go.

The guild is currently boasting 70 members at the time of this post. Only 10 or so of those are alts, so I think we're doing pretty darn good on returners. We also have several members who are still trialing, wanting to get the full 14 days free (or up till level 10 done on the Isle).

But yeah, don't worry about being low level, its not a big deal at all. Hell, I've been playing for days, but I'm on the mainland which goes a lot slower than the Isle (its more spread out) and am only level 8 currently.

If you do decide to play and are on a trial, join us on /join mmorpg and if you're subbing, just hit "O" & "After Hours" and see if there are any recruiting officers on, and they'll invite you immediately. :)

Would be interested to know what the eu numbers are like around 6-12 gmt?

Would be interesting in subbing and running through the newbie zones again if there are enough.

Well, I'm really bad with GMT. I'm EST, so if you know the conversion there, I'll be able to tell you how many are usually on. I've been monitoring the numbers.

I can safely say that during the day for EST, its slower, 5-10 on today all day. But right now its 10:46PM EST here, and there is nearly 20 people on.

Weekends is even better, with a ton of people on during all of Saturday. It slows a bit Sunday, but there were still quite a few.

Guess I will hop on board too. Getting bored in Lotro. Name is Nuich, I think he was around lvl 35 a Ranger I believe.

Nuich

GMT is 4 hours ahead of EST, so if it's 12:00 here, it's 4:00 there.

Thanks, may bump the post tomorrow midday see how many intend to be on after work.

After checking, atm in the uk we're on BST which is GMT+1, EST is GMT-5 so that's a 6 hour gap. May sub anyhow always loved the game so no loss and my EvE sub ran out today.

Careful, it usually is -5 but we're in Daylight Savings time now, so it's -4.

GMT +2 here.

Seems like I will sub when my AoC time runs out, loving Vanguard atm.

Well, unfortunately I'll be offline until later today because I have to go in to work today. I do this on M-W-F at the moment so those of you who need an invite and are GMT, I'm not sure what time it will be for you when I get back, unfortunately.

But I'll be on all day tomorrow, so if you're around, look me up. :)

This thread got me to resubscribe.  I finished the download last night and had to sleep for work this morning.  I'll log on this evening and see if I can find anyone.

I am CST after 5pm usually.

I have several lower level toons.  I think my highest is a 19 Disciple.  We'll see.

Hope to see some folks in game and get an invite.

Lack of people to play with was the only reason I left this game in the first place.

The guild is very active in the evening time from what I have seen so far. Though I don't really get a chance to play during the day.  I had to make a seperate chat tab just for the MMORPG chat channel and Guild talk so that i could see everything else.  I think we have just over 70 members now in the guild and more joining.  I am CST and yesterday afternoon/evening everyone was very active, friendly and social. There are people willing to run groups and are doing so often.   If this is what you are looking for then come on in =).

Hey Green,

I should be home and on the game by the time you're on tonight. Just keep an eye out for Cyrsi on the After Hours recruiting page ("O" > "After Hours") and send me a tell. I'll get ya in ASAP! :)

Update: So, it turns out that I will be on today, all day, and not tomorrow until later in the day, so... if anyone comes on that needs an invite, I'll be there!

Fantastic, thanks for the quick reply. 

I'm thinking about leaving work early today.  I hated not being able to log on and fiddle when the download was done this morning at 4am.
