In game guild name is Goon Squad. LoU devs have made it so you can only receive an invite when you're standing next to the person whose inviting you, so your best bet is to ask in Discord to meet someone.
I'll try and sort out permissions so goons can invite other goons.

Goon HQ is near Occlo. If your L key doesn't bring up the map, use /map.

Coming from Occlo moongate, if you cross a stone bridge with a river running beneath, you're going in the right direction. If there's a troll on the bridge, run past it unless you fancy testing your skills.




It's a real poo poo shack at the moment but we'll improve it. Guild Access has been given on this building.
I'd suggest placing houses near here if you're going to buy one (which you probably will).

I like that house. It's somehow charming. Once the main game goes live(if it does), I may very well just be living in a nice little cabin.

If you're going to allow macros, why not build one in the game/server for everyone to use?

They have, use /custom in game. It makes a button with your script on it but you still have to click it.

It's pretty good so far. We've had a few goons running around chopping down trees and killing stuff in Britain sewers. I hope one day Goon Squad will be another goon force to be feared.

Also if someone else isn't going to post a referral link, I'll do it shamelessly. Help me get a cool in game hat/decorations in the official servers. I think referrals get something cool too.

Awesome thanks. I don't know how much it affects Legends of Ultima but on Aria they're adding some decorations you can use on your property. They're pretty good about rewarding the early founders too. Every month you have the game, you get loyalty. Every month you actually play, you get more. There's been a little bit of controversy though because the new Champion/Lord packs give some early adopters more loyalty than the Kickstarters from 3 years ago.

Oh jeez that's something they need to fix. I'll send that over to the team. Spawns shouldn't be anywhere near player real estate.

Well, looks like the leadership for this one is about what you would expect from a free shard. I got banned for asking why one of the EQMS guys got banned (apparently for inviting other people to his Discord? still trying to understand that one). Good news is, the base game looks like a lot of fun too!

Are you sure you're not missing anything out here? I've seen people do way, way worse and they weren't banned

Also which gm was it?

Be aware that they're nerfing skill gains pretty badly. Crafting gains are now extremely slow, so if you want to be a crafter you should probably wait until you have enough gold on your primary to bankroll a very long grind.

Source on this? Some crafting pays for itself - eg, making practice items can be sold for 10g a pop, making enough money to buy more hatches or pick axes. But not super enjoyable, that's for sure.

The game is in closed beta, so no trial keys unless they run a special promotion. Which they did a few days ago and it looks like you missed it :(

In terms of being behind, a trial wouldn't help you anyway. Buy the game and play now before it hits steam, you'll still be ahead of many others.

Given its summer, LoU is quiter than the cooler months anyway. Goons are grouping to skill up, so it's not a bad time to start :getin:

It's on up patch notes and discord that they've nerfed crafting gains. I'm sure you could self-finance some crafting chars, but you'll probably have a better time gold farming on a combat char to feed your crafter grind.

Yah I’m looking for a good goon game community to join and annoy eventually to get kicked out of and this looks cool, but $30 for what amounts to an early access mmo is a little steep. Maybe when it inevitably goes f2p with pay to win microtransactions in 6 months.

Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.
I'm guessing the server does not play well with version 0.7.1? I tried a couple of times and get error messages regarding the client. Is it worth trying to find an older version, waiting for them to match it up, or am I somehow retarded and missing something?

You don't pay a subscription, you just buy the base game. Can't imagine it really going 'f2p' any more than it already is.

I've spoken with Andi. He said he only banned you from Discord due to some big toxic chat(?) but you're not banned from the server.

Andi: Ah okay, then he was part of the group we kicked out of discord. There were no other server bans besides Vulgaar though

Ehhh -- having been banned from free shards for dominating too hard this guy leaves a bad taste in my mouth from the little ive seen from him... I'll probably stick ganking and collecting tears on Albion until something else comes along.

Andi is fine, but he doesn't like toxicity. I've spoken with him, he was nervous about Goon Squad joining up (he used to play Eve, so he knows about goon shenanigans) but we have agreed that if we step out of line, he'll contact me first via Discord. He has this agreement with two other large guilds on the server, too - DoW and FL. As long as we don't spam up their discord with toxic poo poo, we'll be fine.

He also doesn't care if we are a red murderball guild and accepts our play-style, but this Vulgar guy from another guild really rubbed him up the wrong way. It's a long story, and I can see it from both sides. I think someone starting a Discord alt called 'Hitler Andi' was just the final straw for him and that's when they banned a bunch of people from the LoU Discord (and only one from the actual server).
