Here's a good opportunity to get to know us.
Welcome to the Stronghold. I am War. My job you ask? To create chaos and annoyance with witty remarks and obnoxious sounds while playing. If you ask the others, I do it pretty well. My secondary job, as other will tell you, is the guild scapegoat when things go wrong. All in all, welcome to our home, and hopefully, yours as well.
Welcome to our gates friend, as to your question once you get full access here and can get onto ventrilo with us you can seek out someone on there who may have access for ingame recruiting. off the top of my head though you are looking for the silly lad above us, Warnacron there, and our illustrious Highlord, Sook. On a personal note, It's always good too see another Guardian bolster our ranks no matter where they hail from. *Peers at your Cimmerian features and garb* No matter! We'll make a soldier out of you yet! *claps you on the shoulder*
Here's a new rule I am invoking effective now... Once you get in Ventrilo... you can't be shy! =) Feel free to chat up a storm in the AoC General Chat channel... =) My biggest priority right now is recruitment... Can you lend me a hand by posting a little note in our recruitment thread in the FUNCOM forums... let them know what your first impression was after reviewing this site? Lastly, getting people more actively involved with our website events calendar is KEY in my mind... I want to ensure people review this schedule regularly... gives you perspective on what's going on and what you might be able to attend... I know you acknowledged this in your opening intro.... but I want a DOUBLE acknowledgement. Can ya do that? Could ya do that for me?
Welcome to the Stronghold..... It appears your play time is similar to mine. Feel free to look me up if ya need a hand with anything... Besides I'll need someone to protect my flimsy arse once you get to higher levels..........
Well I can try my best but it is limited by my time I can get playing as well. I am fairly new, okay really new to rp pvp, but came on here for the main purpose of learning, and also participate as much as I can. I would like to learn more about how many people you have here, and also how much is involved in the role-playing side, and what do I need to do past 20, and what advice can you give me? But I have no problem passing on the word in Funcom forums. What kind of info would you like to be left? And "How is your guild different from others?" Is mainly what I have seen on the forums. I have no problem on helping with the calendar as long as I know what I am doing. Thanks
Welcome to the site Userkaf! We asked a few questions of you and you fairly asked some of us. I would like to learn more about how many people you have here Well we started with about 44 folks who said they were going to give AoC a try but that has really turned out to be around 20-30 due to system requirements and personal game taste. We are adding new members every day or so so our numbers are increasing. Now numbers don't mean a whole lot to us, rather the quality of the individual. how much is involved in the role-playing side Our roleplay is mostly in our forums and sometimes in-game. We don't force it on anyone but try to help anyone who is trying to immerse themselves in the fashion they choose. what do I need to do past 20, and what advice can you give me Well, just play the game of course. Specific advice on builds/quests/areas/gear can all be posted in the AoC general forums on this site. We are all learning this game together but we do have a few that have been in since closed beta so they can give ya a heads up with anything specific. But I have no problem passing on the word in Funcom forums. What kind of info would you like to be left? And "How is your guild different from others?" Once you are accepted into the guild, please stop by the recruitment thread after you have taken a look at our site and been in-game with us in vent. Positive newcomer experiences are the most powerful recruitment tool out there. Just be honest. Now how are we different than most guilds? Well, we are more like family than an Avatar in a pixelated world. We joke, kid, razz, help, congratulate, donate, and argue just like a RL family might. But we all realize that we are here to have fun. Fun first and drama last.... If ya join a guild with 200+ members, it feels more like you joined a subsection of the game. Here everyone counts and everyone has a voice. This is the only guild I've ever known so I do not have a frame of reference to judge. Maybe others can voice their other guild experiences... *EDIT* Just a little housekeeping note. I see you've applied for AoC Guild Access but you also need to apply for Citizenship access as well. AOC Guild access is a small part of the site and citizenship gives you access to the general forums, calander, and other sections of the site. Please apply for Citizen Group access as well. *UNEDIT*
Well, I've never really bothered counting the number of people we have here, the important thing is that I know all of them. As for roleplaying, while we are on an RP server, I would not call us a RP guild, as we do not enforce our members to do such. I personally roleplay and a few others do, but expect guild chat to be ooc, none of us are in character all the time. As Syrbryce kinda said, we act individually, but still pull together as a whole. I agree with his description as us being a family of sorts. I look forward to meeting you ingame Userkaf, or at least in vent (I don't talk much... so don't expect the at least to happen though)
I hear that Vra's ale is free from reading some of the forums. Another family?!? Sigh... If I count friends as family and home (even tho there's just the 2 of us) you would be like my 5th family. lol I think I can manage. I am sure I'll get looks from being on Vent, but that's what headphones are for. *Drink's Vra's ale, mmm, early morning beer and work, alright!
Got your Citizenship and AoC guild access approved. All ya gotta do now is put your toon in the roster at the top left of the home page and then find an officer in-game/in-vent for the in-game invite.. Welcome to the Guild!
sorry man, you cant drink my ale - I'm all out, had to taste it yesterday to make sure that it was okay for you new guys, then all of a sudden it was all gone - nykon might have a stash somewhere - he usually manages to steal a lil of my ale every now and then next shipment of ale is inbound for saturday so we'll have to wait if syr says it in yellow, then its true - welcome to the guild
Welcome to the Guild, Userkaf! I won't see you in AoC, only on the website. I'm one of the few, right now, maintaining a presence for OSD in DDO.
As per guild advancement, here is my RP Story. (Editor’s note: This is my first public stab at story-telling, bear with me) Chapter 1: “Userkaf! You better hurry up or you’re going to be late for the boat” screams his mother Jameekil through the door to his room. Userkaf is just pulling on his vestments to prepare for the duty he was assigned to on a ship destined for the City of Tarantia. “Sigh, this is going to be sooo boring,” he thinks to himself. And then proceeds into the main portion of the house. Where his Dad, Mother and sister are waiting to say goodbye. Userkaf, son of Deimas and Jameekil is heading out on his first assignment as a guardian. He is following in his father’s footsteps as his father became a guard for the guild city of the Order of the Silver Dragons. His sister Tameri is studying the healing arts and looking towards a career as a priestess of mitra. His mother was a very powerful Tempest of Set, but is now retiring with my father, so they can have peaceful lives until the end. “ Now stay out of trouble brother,” Tameri tells him, as she gives him a big hug. “Now when you get there, make sure that you give the dock master the papers stating that you are heading for training in the Order of the Silver Dragon keep, “ his father continues, “Also make sure when you meet Sir Brycious for training to give the proper greeting and please make sure that if there is something you disagree with King Sook that you keep it to yourself, or you most certainly will be hanged.” “ You may want to stay away from Sir Warnacron, as his kind, Necromancers, tend to be powermad and crazy.” “But you can look for help with your training from my friends,Sir Sprigley of Sprigtonshireborough, and Seldonia.” After saying his goodbyes, he left his home and went on his way to the ship. When he arrived he asked where he was supposed to go and was told to just go aboard into this room. Once everyone was in, the door was slammed shut by this large ogre of a man, and we were told to sit down and shut up. “Listen here slime bags,” The large one continued, “ You’re ours now and there’s nothing you can do about it,” he continued, “ Take off all your belongings and sit on those benched over there, and wait for your new tattoo.” He points to this scraggly looking man who is beside a fire with what looks like a branding iron. “This is ludicrous!” Userkaf exclaim, and just as he prepares to pull out his sword, he feels a sharp pain to his head, and the whole world goes white... After being unconscious for a while, he gets up and has no clothes on and feels really woozy. And for some strange reason, it feels like a dream, he has a beard, then a moustache, then a different beard then nothing, then a goatee. Then his hair starts changing shape and he has long, short, messy, straight, balding, bald, it was very weird. Then, He starts feeling thin, then muscular then fat, thin, fat, thin, fat, thin, muscular, then my face starts to change shape and he has a big nose, then a snall one, then it’s crooked, and not, and his eyes move up and down, then his chin grows and shortens. Then it all stops, and then all of a sudden, the ship is hit with a giant wave, and his world disappears…
