Welcome BOUL to the guild!  We are currently at 23 members with pre-orders.  Please check the original post that started this thread for ore info.

I guess therte is something wrong with me, I love Rift and have been playing since early start.  Just re-subbed for 6 months.

IMHO it;s the best mmorpg on the market hands down right now.

This game is going to be a hoot ;)  We have over 2o people with pre-orders registered in our roster on the Bioware site allready :)

And if it crashes & burns - on well we have Rift to go back to :)

What kind of a guild is Gunbad ? - Gunbad is a mmorpg gaming guild for adults over the age of 25. Our average age is somewhere around 40/45. We love to get right into the game and explore everything that it has to offer. We have a mix of PvE and PvP players in the guild. We normally stay away from raiding, but since in SWtOR the raid sizes are so small that we will be easily able to gather enough people on daily basis we are sure to do 8 man raids.

We don't schedule things at all, if enough people show up (not a problem there) we do something, if they don't then we usually just talk on Vent while playing. There is never going to be any scheduling (we simply do not require scheduling, there is more then enough people in the guild to field 8 man raids and groups daily), we are keeping it casual.

We are the over the hill nerds and geeks who play games in the confines of our dark computer rooms when everyone in the house falls asleep.

We won't tell anyone what to play or how to play it. This is a truly casual guild. We frown on DPS meters and laugh at hardcore players.

Real Life issues are always > games. This is a guild for adults with families, responsibilities and commitments who understand that they all come before gaming.

How many people are there in Gunbad ? - At the moment of writing this we have 21 people who joined our SWtOR chapter & pre-ordered. Everyone on that list has a pre-order, with about a third having Collector Editions pre-ordered. We do have a membership cap of 100 and recruiting will be closed to everyone once/if we reach 100 players. This is not going to be a zerg guild.

What are the requirements to join Gunbad ? - You have to be at least 25 years of age, there is no other requirements. Nobody in this guild cares what you play, how you play it or if you are any good at it. This is a casual guild, none of these things are an issue.

How do I register on the Gunbad.com website ? - Simply come to our guild website at http://www.gunbad.com/SWtOR and register, our guild website is open to everyone so please do join us on the forum to discuss SWtOR and any other mmorpgs. In order to make sure that you have your character name & spot in the guild secured make sure that you join us on the official Bioware site here. Our guild has a minimum age requirement of 25 just as does our Ventrilo server and website.

How do I join you on your Ventrilo server ? - Our Ventrilo server information is listed on our forum, you will have to register before it becomes available to you. Our Ventrilo server has a minimum age requirement of 25 just as does our website and guild.

Does Gunbad raid ? - Gunbad is not a raiding guild but we will be doing all of the content available in SWtOR. We regularly have 10-20 people online every evening so the 8 man raids won't be an issue at all, 16 person raids are likely to be a weekly event. Please do not join us if you are heavily interested in raiding, we are a casual guild above all.

How do I join Gunbad ? - Join us on the official Bioware site here in order to make sure that you secure your spot in the Gunbad roster, we have a membership cap of 100 players so once we hit that we will be closing recruiting.

What are the goals on Gunbad ? - Our goal is to have a great time with great friends. Please note that loot or raiding do not feature in the previous statement.

Does Gunbad do organized events, such as raids ? - This is a casual guild, no scheduled anything. When enough people show up online we do what everyone feels like, if not then too bad so sad. So, if you are heavily into raiding then this is not a good guild for you.

Is Voice chat/Ventrilo a requirement ? - Not at all, but we do have a private Ventrilo server and encourage everyone to jump on. Our Ventrilo server, along with our website, is our social hub. Where as our website would be an equivalent of a discussion, Vent is more of a night club/coffee shop feel.

How many people in your roster have pre-ordered SWtOR ? - I believe that everyone in our roster has a pre-order. That's a total of 21 people. A number of us have the CE pre-order, including myself.

Is Gunbad eligible for guild testing program ? - Yes, we have over 10 members. We have 21 when I wrote this.

Is Gunbad eligible for automatic placement& creation by Bioware at launch ? - Yes, we have more then four pre-orders with our members. We should have over 20.

I think I have covered most of what's fairly important as far as deciding what guild you want to join. If you have any questions please PM them to me here or post them in this thread.

If you have any additional questions please post them in this thread.

I just came back to FE like 2 weeks ago and wow what a difference.  Animations are way better, color palette is way better, way more content, the exploits from release are all gone ( though i suspect people found new ones ), new PvP ( Blood Sports).  I feel liek I just scratched the surfac with this game.

Loving it

It's not Blizzard but you who can't keep it from happening.  Since you are so resistant to common sense that you obviously fail to understand the basics I won;t even go into details.

I have been playing since easly beta ( mind you off and on ) and nothing ever happened.  Many of my friends had theirs "hacked".  Some open idiotic e-mails and end up loging into fake battle.nets without even knowing it ( they are that good ).  Some use bots and other programs with trojans and spyware.  There is 1000 silly things that people do.

Funny how it is NEVER your fault, I mean, how could it be...

Forgot to add STO, perhaps the biggest dissapointment of them all.

AoC workss just fine and has been for a very long time.  I am not playing it right now but I did try it again after the latest expansion, nothing but positive impressions imho.

With Funcom they might not have the funds to polish everything out proper riht at the door but they sure put their heart and soul into their games and ALWAYS innovate.  That's what I love about their games.  AoC combat is a good example.

Can't wait for their next game.

STO is even more rubbish than AoC. At least funcom doesn't add more c-store stuff than anything else. Play it, if you enjoy having barely any other content that repeatable dailys and enjoy being nickel and dimed until end of time (or maybe about a year as it seems).

"C-Store" is from Cryptic not Funcom.

AoC is a great game after the expansion, that is why its doing so well.  I dont know about everyone else but I am stil playing it.

Personally I would no tbother with STO, what a huge letdown.

AoC is doing so well these days simply 'couse it is finally what it should have been at launch - a truly great ggame.

Good post Mopar.  I am glad someone is liking the game ;)  I unfortunately could not overlook the issues it has, but then again I am not a HUGE St fan.  But then again when SWtOR coems out I will be able to overlook ALOT ;)  I guess it all depends on what you are into.

I am skipping FF completely.  New skin on thesame korean style grindfest.

Bought game in 2005 but didn't like. No phishing EMails or whatnot in that time. Came back around Oct. of 09 for a month, changed to BNet for silly pet, quit and started getting a few EMails a week. Came back last month with a few Co-workers along and started enjoying the game. EMails come about 5 or 6 a day. Played last nite from 9PM to 4AM this morning. Went to work at 1PM today, got home at 10PM to find a Real EMail from Bliz saying my account was locked for 3 hours because of Gold Selling spaming at 8PM! What should I do? Try to log on and see what the damage is? This has never happened before to me. TIA

 

EDIT: I never let anyone else use my account, but I do have 3 addons for WoW but I got them through the Curse Client. Is that safe?

You do realize that  this says more about you then anything else right ?

Well it could be worse...it could be talk to 5 aliens and take a quiz.   LOL

Funcom really has no clue, do they?

 erm.....Funcom?

 DOH!  I was looking at a AoC thread before this.         Fixed.

 Don't worry.  Both dev teams are incompetent and handle their community poorly.  Switch their names around all you want.  Their reputations are one and the same, though I'd say Cryptic is more blatantly moneygrubbing.

imo that's really not fair.  Though Funcom had its issues with their games and will continue to have them their are far, far better then Cryptic.  No comparison here, Funcom has great customer service imho.

Imo DDO dungeons are by far the best with the new AoC content being in second place.

I must have read at least 60 or so of threads just like this one.  It's one of very ew mmos that I have no ttried, so I am downloading the trial and we'll see how this will work out ;)

It would be great to see more hardware reviews in the future.  I personally ended up with Razer Carcharias and love them.

I would tend to say go with Age of COnan instead but if you must choose between these two I would go with Everquest 2

Anything that gets bought out by EA does down the drain in short order.

They tried mmos with Mythic first...
