All the people stupid enough to lead goon guilds have already burned out from other MMOs. :v:

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
I could lead it but I would make more goons irrationally hate me and carry a grudge for years for poo poo that didn't even happen, again.

It honestly sounds like there are enough goons to form a guild, albeit not a very active one.

This is why. I tried pretty hard for a solid week to make stuff happen by tracking people down in-game and tried to rile up a presence here, but just not enough of a foundation of players to really build on so I moved on and went destro because I like choppas more than slayers.

Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

Same. Ive got about 7 goon players names on my friends list but no one is ever on. And if they do log on they log out within 5-10 minutes later.

Also: belrouze whats your ign on destro side?

Add Freckles and Randodand to your list. We are very casual players at best, though.

I think that to start a guild you need to be in a party at the time, have five signatories there with you at the guild registrar, or something. So I have never seen five other goons on at once.

I have a babby shaman Bombora on Dest, but only starting playing for a bit while waiting for my other half to catch up on order side.

I was doing tier 2 scenarios tonight and was the only healer on order. It was so annoying, but we actually won one, even with me being targeted and focused by everyone. It was a great surprise to survive them at all.

Played this a few months ago and there was just not that many people online during EU timezones. A private server of this game feels extremely niche so sadly I don't think it will ever get that many people. Didn't get that far but isn't this game highly dependent on big numbers for cool fights?

Also for leveling because gently caress leveling outside of BGs or PQs.

Destro guild made - Eventide, ran by me and formed with some RL friends who play in the late evenings (10pm CST normally) with one able to be on around 4ish pm CST. We're currently level 5 (I've been hitting the no-life button hard). Any and all destro goons more than welcome. Taxes and Tithes are active and at 5% because I blew 160g in a day getting this poo poo set up. At most they'll hit maybe 10 or 12% to help recuperate the costs of getting the guild off the ground and then dropped to probably 3% or so. Nothing much in the grand scheme of things. Anything you need, we can help - powerleveling, talis, and I've got weekend events set up for this weekend on the guild calendar for any kind of powerleveling as well as a day of getting our crafts worked on for being self sufficient/AH PvP.

We're looking for some dedicated healers, and few DPS of sorts, ranged would be rad as we have none at the moment, but anything is good. Could use a Chosen for auras as well. But we'll take anything you dudes want to roll up. Please look for Doktabeatbox in-game.

Our current "main" comp is:
Black Orc
Blackguard
Disciple of Khaine
Choppa
Marauder

These are our regulars at the moment, and we got some alts in here too. So if you want to make WAR Great Again, Eventide, Destro. The game is being updated pretty hardcore. The OP seriously needs updating in an awful way, or another thread needs to be made (I'll do it if need be and keep it updated.)

Our Blackguard likes to record so if you want your cheeto-fingered ways on the internet, come have some fun.

I'd join but play pretty casually (i.e. scenarios) and am on PST, so usually get home and online by around that time. But my play time is limited due to increased outdoor stuff now that it's getting lighter earlier and warmer :cool:

I have a low-level shaman that I haven't played for a long time due to no goons, but now, maybe...

A lot of us play very intermittently, but yeah, the server pop is good.

You must unite the goons! Or just pub like most of us do.

Smug as fuck.
Pro tips for this server-

All the "kill x players in (location)" work anywhere. Each faction has a 10 and 25 so that's 6 quests per scenario which speeds up money and lvling. You can knock that number up to 12 at t2.

Once you hit t2 you can farm plague rats to level really quickly. Most classes can solo them 1v1 or you can group to mass pull them. Beware this is also a very common gank spot, but it's literally 10 seconds from order camp so yolo WP for lyfe.

People will pay dumb amounts of money if you are lucky enough to get t1 helms/cloaks/shoulders so they can twink up alts. Good way to get some starting cash.

Destro guild Eventide has been formed with some RL friends and I. PM Doktabeatbox in-game if you want an invite. Our little group has been on nightly causing a ruckus. We're looking at becoming a stable destruction guild, we just need a larger core. Devs are working on t4 as well as PvE, but our RvR presence is pretty limited right now as a guild. We've got a guy who likes to record, so if you don't mind some YouTube bullshit and being on it, that's what we've been doing the past few weeks.

If I'm not on Doktabeatbox I'm on one of the following characters:
Gwythr
Loxly
Boglin
Hobbles
Poeward

So exactly how much of the game actually works?

Orv
May 4, 2011
Skills both mechanically and VFX/SFX all work, most armor is totally functional on both fronts, all the classes are in and working, quests work though ones with non-static models tend to have the models just sitting around, IE the gyrocopter killing quest in the Chaos starting zone. PQs are the only thing that's really totally hosed, scenarios work just fine, WvW is pretty good, and they've even made huge strides towards the lag from a couple months ago with 300+ people on. If you liked WAR there's no real reason not to try it.

Are we talking all quests, or have they only got T1-2 Human/Chaos working?

Yeah, there are the occasional bugged quests but from what I've seen this server is very well put together.

Also, 6 of us were PvPing as order last night and it was a blast. We decided to go back to destruction though, and now I'm leveling my Chosen. If anyone wants to join hit me up on Automated.

I may give this a try, then! I had a lot of fun playing the Dwarf healer class when the game was out, so which would be a good comparison on Chaos side since that seems to be where goons play?

Seeing a lot of ex-Order players. So it's looking like we're going to be forming the guild <Leet Like Karl Franz> to compliment our Destro guild. We have several players already playing who prefer order and this is what we're looking at for the time being.

EDIT: Had some random questions.

1. How is the community at large?

2. Is it primarily English speaking?

3. How likely is it that EA shuts things down as soon as they get working perfectly?

All good questions that we should have in the OP!

1. Community seems very friendly, some random guy gave me shoulders and 5 gold in one of the starting areas which was a huge help. There is tons of warbands, groups and pqs to do and it isn't hard to find people to play with.

2. Yes, its primarily English though there are channels for Russian, German, etc. The server is located in France, but you don't notice the latency. I usually get around 90ms.

3. Seriously doubtful, if Blizzard isn't shutting down private servers that have been up for years and make money I doubt EA would go on a hunt for a loving WAR server. Also, EA has done nothing about the various DAoC servers that have existed for years.
