Hello everybody. Today, me and a few buddies started a guild that is attempting to change the often negative mindset of RvR on this server. What we are doing is recruiting any player who speaks English and is RvR-minded. What sets our guild apart from the rest is that we are recruiting GOOD EXPERIENCED players regardless of what class they play. It often seems like guilds are not letting certain classes run in their RvR groups if they are deemed to be "gimp" such as friar, wizard, etc etc.

The basis of our guild is as follows: if you are good at your class, you are more than welcome to RvR with us. Right now we are all level 5-10 and will be leveling up together, honing our skills along the way. A little background on our founding core:

I am the GM (in game name = Lindros). On alb/merlin live, I have a rr11L4 armsman and I am playing an armsman here. My other close officers are currently playing a mins, paladin, cleric, and theurg.

The guild name is <Valor> which symbolizes the honor and respect we have for seasoned RvR players, regardless of what class they chose to play. It's not the class that makes the RvR, it's the player, and our guild will prove this. Hopefully you're not the hibs or mids that get embarrassed by what will probably be our often unorthodox setup.

If anybody is interested in joining, look for me in game on my arms Lindros. We look forward to defending the realm with pride.

Hey i played like 8 years ago but i am very interested in playing again i played an rr10 scout and a rr7 wizard I LOVED DAOC and just found out about Uthgard.. u guys got a voice server? i would say i'm pretty above average at RVR and PVP thats what i live for in games. i am downloading the client now would be cool to get some help coming back to daoc

Nice idea. Can't wait to see how this gonna work in RvR. I don' think classes like friar or wizard are gimp in RvR but you need to master those class to compensate their lack of utilities. The hardest part in playing those classes is to find people who accept to group you....

Anyway good luck and i hope to see you soon in emain.

Welcome.

What was your charname on merlin?

Its never too late to fix Wizards.

I Joined, nice bunch of people so far. See you in game.

Hey all. Thanks for the replies (I don't check the forum all too often so sorry if anybody else has been trying to reach me)...

A few days in and I can say our guild is growing nicely. We have a few very dedicated members who I already respect dearly. My invitation to recruitment is still being extended to the realm; any albs out there that love the class they play and want to take that experience and translate it into RvR success can send any of our members for an invite.

I'd also like to introduce my RL brother, as the Assistant GM of the guild. His ingame name is Leclair, and he can also be sought after in regards to any questions you may have.

Hope to see you guys out there!

do you guys take shamans?

Hibernia also recruits shamans.

Welcome
Good attitude, but i advise you not to try it with strict 8vs8 in the beginning... ist hard enough as low rr grp here in 8vs8, but with not so fotm AND low rr grp setup i can't even imagine the fun you would have

But starting of just with fun rvr and 16 slot or even more works fine, at least it did 2 years ago for us

I can just totally disagree with that, roaming as more than 8man -considering there's no enemie zerg out- is the worst and slowest way to assimilate the mechanics of the game (and the server). Just look at Legulas who discovered he got a snarestyle at 8 or 9L for example.... It's a fact that you learn way faster by losing a fair 8v8 thant winning a 16v8 where you just use nearest target+stick+ spam anytime.

And don't tell me running with a 8L+ group is the only way to win a fight versus high RR guildgroup, many ppl on uthgard have already showed that, rollercoaster/WoK/maulhelden as best example.

You also know what happens when X realm start to zerg with 16 => Y realm come back with 24 => Z realm joining the party with even more etc... I am kinda happy to come back on uthgard and see the daily prime time zerg i saw 2 month ago is gone, so please don't bring that ****** behaviour back.

Glad to see a group of players with similar in game values. I look forward to seeing you guys in RvR. I play Mid so we will be at odds but I hope your ideals catch on. I am on board and doing my part in Mid, hopefully we can make each of our realms better and consequently make the whole server better. Cheers!

i was just posting from my point of view. i prefer to fight 16 low rr enemys, loose 3 of 4 fights against them and have one good fight over farming 8 slot low rr grps over and over and over in just boring fights....

And don't tell me running with a 8L+ group is the only way to win a fight versus high RR guildgroup, many ppl on uthgard have already showed that, rollercoaster/WoK/maulhelden as best example.

and none of these grps is still active, maybe because it didn't work out like this all the time?

I like zerg fights from time to time, gives a change from the constant 8v8 you have here.

From the constant rr10-11 group vs. rr4-10 group you mean.

(sarcasm)Its never too late to give em + 200dmg so they are again attractive class as it has worked with all other uplayed toons...(/sarcasm)
Problem is that wizzard deserves it more than others.
