Yes, but we are not organized.

I'm still really bummed about the server situation cause I checked 10 times to make sure we were rolling on Edan, but I slept through the initial server drama.

I really hope server transfer isn't $50 or some loving bullshit.

The CTS mumble guild is on Orwen. The Discord guild is on Edan.

Some goons are overly optimistic about their possible extent of involvement with the game.

Just :laffo: if you think that reddit/PA guilds can play even their way out of a crib. As of now, for each PvP guild advertising recruitment on Orwen there are three for Eden, which in itself is largely irrelevant if you plan to play with goons.

So you are making the argument that we should have went to Edan if we wanted more pvp fights? Aren't you the guys that hosed up and now we all have to go to Orwen for it?

It was a fluke, basically if you happened to be on a specific Edan chat channel you were actually created on Orwen, and Deum basically said "yeah fixing it would take too long and :effort: so if you want to play on Edan reroll" but it hosed up all kinds of poo poo wrt pre-order bonuses being character- or server-locked and groups getting splintered if they happened to create their characters at different times and poo poo like that.

The amount of elite PVP guilds on the servers only matter if

A: That's what we are looking for
B: we play long enough for population of Elite PVP guilds starts to matter
C: We don't just spend our time doing other poo poo.

Are the people rushing to 50 doing so to go straight to PVP and nothing else, or do you plan on going back and working on any of the other systems in the game?

I'm kind of taking my time and learning/doing the life skills, but wondering if I need to forget that and just start grinding.

This is a sandbox MMO so do what you like and what feels good man. I did quests and poo poo up to about lvl 17 so that I could get some energy/knowledge and a few nodes unlocked. After that I hit the grind gravy train to 28. Depending on how camped the spots are tonight I might either grind some more or just go dick around in the game world. I haven't really touched any of the crafting so I think I might go get myself setup for Alchemy and maybe cooking? Not sure yet.

Also, to people complaining about servers and poo poo. IT HAS LITERALLY NEVER loving MATTERED. EVER.And yet here we are again.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Play with like minded people and have fun. If you have friends on Edan, roll Edan, if you don't roll wherever. Mumble was pretty chill yesterday even with all the server fuckery so I'm going to continue playing on Orwen. If the majority of Angry Home Friends rolls on Edan I'm going to cry salty tears and go play something else :c00lbutt:

Orwen seems great to me so far... so many lovely little anime guilds like <Laughing_Coffin> that won't shut the gently caress up and are in need of being poo poo on.

I see great potential.

I plan to go back and at least try everything. I love the initial rushing and I know how I burn out on games, so I gun for the soft caps now. Bonus points in my books for early access to PvP, but I am PvP sperg largely uninterested in most systems offered by the game.

See that's cool, you do what you like: so long as you're not yelling at goons to cater to your play style we can all have fun.

You do not realise the place of a casual goon clan in the food chain of game where semi-serious PvP begins with weekly commitment of 40 hours on the hunting grounds, do you? The worlds will collide and The Steer of Heaven will merge with The Goat-Fish of Enki, forming The Dickbutt, before the GoonTang is the dominating political force on the Orwen, one facing no reasonable opposition in conquests of any kind.

Going to Edan for goon who entertains idea playing with the majority of goons has no practical purpose unless Drinkfist has uncovered an ancient prophecy foretelling the mass exodus of players from the Orwen preceded by the Islamic Shock signing federal law banning merger of two arbitrary servers containing video game characters of the citizens of the United States of America.

They have an announcement posted about all the issues. Basically character deletion time reduced to 10 seconds and name swaps can be requested for the March 30th maint lol. Preorder items not delivered have had their claim reset.

No transfers, they can't do them. Since I have other friends on Orwen and none on Edan, looks like it's reroll time :(

Hey, thanks guys :P

I'm actually the clan leader for the little group us Penny Arcader's have. Not sure how the gently caress that happened, I think it did in ArcheAge too(god I make bad decisions, at least I didn't sperg out on both games).

Hard to say if we'll be any bigger than like 10 people to start, I'm gonna be actually recruiting people unlike other PA Guilds which just tip over and drown a horrible death cause the leaders don't want to catch cooties. Maybe we can join in on your guys shenanigans.

Nothing personal, I just am not aware of more than one case where guild centered around a large "external community" has been universally successful to the extent in question, EVE Online goons who do very well in the game, Alliance Tournament asides. And even then, average goon is a terrible player, and the success by large has to be attributed to the talented leadership that did allow them to be terrible. Which is also why Goonswarm does so poorly in Alliance Tournament for what it is otherwise.

i made the final call to stick on orwen, because after 7 hours in when daum explained the situation, we had people who were with us that would not follow if we returned to edan. I don't recall hearing anyone say they were gonna quit if we didn't go back to edan, so we settled it.

sorry to you fellas who got caught on edan after all the fuckery was done, but the only method of communication I have past mumble is updating the OP and making a post.

didn't have any clue people felt so strongly about edan until after the decision was made. as it is now though, we've got plenty of rp guilds, multiguilds, and animes on orwen, and we're stabilized with 40

Here is a preview of the server chat on Edan on the brief time I played there:


"Check out my twitch stream <turdmaster30002>"

"Twitch PvP now! <shiteater69>"

"LOL warriors are garbage. watch the best at twitch.tv/tryhardpenis"

Orwen chat is a haven, comparatively.

I started on Edan and now I'm on Orwen. No regrets. Orwen is going to be a good server for PvP, there are a log of big guilds on there.
