State of the Guild

[fatcat]

I promoted RyderOCZ to Guild Master. I'm too busy right now to maintain a constant presence. If and when I come back full time I will discuss with Ryder if he still wants to be GM or whatever.

So, CONGRATS to RyderOCZ. This man is seriously dedicated to the Guild, and will serve it well.

[mas0n]

and then there were three.

[MiracleManS]

Am I included there?

[mas0n]

Yessir. I think it's just you, Ryder and I who are on regularly.

[MiracleManS]

*sad panda*

[Preacher]

TF2 + L4D + Family + Work + Sleep + Eat = Not enough time for WoW
;-(

[Thrax]

And so the fate of every family casual guild comes, at last, to pass.

[Preacher]

As the Guild Turns....

[GnomeWizardd]

TF2 + L4D + Family + Work + Sleep + Eat = Not enough time for WoW
;-(



Same here, I use to play but TF2 is so much damn fun!

[_k_]

I will be back next week.

[Hawk]

so, I guess my getting into WOW will be a self learning experience.
Guess I'll join a normal realm and solo it out.
When I posted on the guild info thread, I didn't realize everyone in the guild has more or less stopped playing.
Bummer, Thought I might have a few friends to walk me through getting into it.

[RyderOCZ]

Hey Hawk,

I still play (although with Expo coming up.. not every day and not for more than an hour or so)

It is going to be thin until after Expo, I want to finish getting to 80 (78 atm) but yes, unless more join in, there is no one really left at lower levels.

Totally up to you, but if you do join this server.. np adding you to guild. It will at least give you some resources (gold at the beginning for repairs) from the guild bank you wouldn't have, unless you find a guild on whatever server.

[Hawk]

If I join the guild and Tortheldrin realm it's in a PVP realm and I'll be open to attack in most areas won't I?
Or is that not how it works.

[RyderOCZ]

You will be immune from Alliance attacks until Level 20 (approx) depending on where exactly you quest.

Yes, Tortheldrin is PVP, so once you are out of the "starter" zones.. you could get 1 shotted by a higher level, etc and it happens. Sometimes you even get a jerk player who will "camp" your corpse and when you resurrect, he kills you again. Sometimes you just have to log out and try again later, it can be frustrating.
Playing on a "normal" realm means it is only you vs the AI/game, no other "real live" player can hurt you unless you choose to (you can enable PVP mode).

[Hawk]

I'd have to join Tortheldrin PVP to be in the IC guild.
Is anyone still playing from IC?
Is it going to be worth it to join the Tortheldrin PVP realm?
Sorry about all the questions. Just want to be sure what I'm doing.
Don't want to pay $25 to change over to another server.

[Cyclonite]

Go PvP. The ganking is worth it when you're on the side that's doing the killing.

[RyderOCZ]

Yes, you have to join Tortheldrin to be in the IC guild.

As you can see from this thread, 3 of us are still working towards 80, Mason is at 63, me at 78, MMS at 79.
I do not see a lot of action until the end of summer, but that may or may not change, really hard to say right now.
I will surely be on, Mason is moving, so it may be a couple weeks until he is back regularly. MMS, is also on vacation right now.

So, there will be a few, but at this moment, I don't know how often you will see us. Me, not so much until beginning of July, due to Expo next week.

[Hawk]

ok, just trying to make sure.

[Hawk]

That's cool,
It will give me time to level up and learn the basics.

[Hawk]

So, i'm going to get the $12.99 per month for a 6-month run.
I'll let you know what my name/handle is going to be after I set up my account in a few mins.

[RyderOCZ]

I am Aquon, MMS is Myraestus, Mason is Oknup.

If you need anything, there is an in game mail system, you can send mail at any mailbox. Just mail away if you need something.

[primesuspect]

I liked PvP :D

[Hawk]

ok, Thnx Ryder.
I'll add you names to my friends.
Getting account set up now.
Get your butt back in there then Priime! lol JK

[Cyclonite]

If you ever feel like playing Alliance, hop on Thunderlord. I can help you out with some gold and bags and stuff.

I'll probably be on under one of these:
Khallel
Synara
Tallah

[Hawk]

Do I have to purchase WOW in the stores or can I DL it?
I see there is a 10 day trial.
Can I convert/pay and get the full version?
Or do i need to get WOW III at a brick and mortar?
Oh, And is it WOW III?
Sorry about all the newb questions.

[pigflipper]

You can buy the game online and do a direct download if you don't want to hit up a brick and mortar store.

[RyderOCZ]

You can download it right from worldofwarcraft.com, but it is like 4+GB.. so buying is better and you don't really save anything.

I found getting the "Battle Chest" with Original WoW and Burning Crusade (lets you hit up to Lvl 70) was the best deal.. like 29.99 or something when I found it.
When you get higher level and want to continue, you will need Wrath of the Lich King (WoW III) expansion, but you must own Burning Crusade first too.

The subscription to play monthly covers anything you buy.

One of us can also send you a friend request.. gets you the 10 day trial, plus a month free for us.

[fatcat]

still plan to download a bunch even with having wow+burning crusade. my wow folder is 14.7GB just to let ya know.

[RyderOCZ]

still plan to download a bunch even with having wow+burning crusade. my wow folder is 14.7GB just to let ya know.True this... unless for some reason he is able to get a box that was just shipped with 3.1 already in it.

[Hawk]

Just bought a VelociRaptor 150g to replace my 36G Raptor.
Gonna make an image over to the 150 so I can have more room.
So, I'm going to need "Battle Chest" with Original WoW and Burning Crusade to start out then.
Gamestop should have it. I'll check.

[primesuspect]

Yep, even with battlechest, expect 4-6gb of downloads.

[RyderOCZ]

You don't "need" the battle chest. I found it at Best Buy to be cheaper than buying Wow and then Burning Crusade. They were each 19.99, Battle Chest was 29.99.

You only "NEED" WoW to start playing.. that will get you content up to level 60.

[Hawk]

Yep, Found it at our local best buy for 29.99.
Thnx for the suggestion Ryder.
I checked all my local stores and best buy was best. lol
Gamestop wants 39.99 for it. Go figure.. BB beats out GS for price.
Gonna go get it now.
Will have it loaded in an hr or so.
I'll put my name up as soon as I get it set.

[_k_]

I know I said I was going to be back this week but I got lazy, I SWEAR after lan. Hawk I am at 50 but I also have an Orc loc around lvl. 10. Depending on how much you play I will be around in the noons, central time. Debating on putting time back on the account for lan, will post choice this weekend.

[Hawk]

name will be Kordis.
Add me to the guild please.
I'm still getting setup. but I got my account and name set.

[Hawk]

I want to play Blood Elf/Paladin, but it says it requires Burning Crusade.
Do I install that expansion pack too? I do have it.
Or do I have to start out with one of the character classes available to play on Tortheldrin / Horde?
Man, This has taken a long time to dl patches/ updates.

[Thrax]

Yes, you have to install the expansion pack.

As a piece of advice, you would be wise to create a fantasy-style name (not ICHawk, which would be Ichawk in-game). People will take you more seriously and it will be easier to conduct trades, sales, groups and quests.

[Hawk]

OK, Thnx Thrax.
I'll install the expansion pack and try to figure out a fantasy name and post it back here.
That's what you guys need to invite me to the guild right?

[Hawk]

Ok,
Everything is setup.
Got my character -- Kordis / Blood Elf / Paladin.
Please add me to the guild.

[_k_]

be back the weekend after the lan

[RyderOCZ]

Addededed.

You will need to accept though.

[RyderOCZ]

Hawk,

You have in game mail, I saw you logged in last night and sent the guild invite, but you have to accept it, you must not have saw the message.

[Crazy Joe]

I will start playing again once EPIC/wedding/honeymoon are over, but that won't be until mid August...

[mas0n]

I've been off for a few weeks while we move. No surprises there. I'll be getting back on in the next few days.

[Hawk]

MiracleManS,
Was that you that said something in guild chat last night? (Thurs)
Sorry, I was in the middle of fighting for my life against 3 bad guys.
I answered back about 30 seconds later but you were gone already.
That being said.. Do you guys use any chat/voice program outside of the game?
Teamspeak / Ventrillo / Xfire, etc.
That way I can be live while I'm playing and can speak to whoever gets on and needs to talk to me.
And I won't miss them saying/typing something.
I tend to get very involved in what I'm doing when I'm playing the game.
Any game. lol

[_k_]

we have a vent server, if someone could post a link to the vent thread or the info cause i don't have it.

[TiberiusLazarus]

Ventrilo server information:

host: voice.gameservers.com
port: 4505

[Hawk]

Thnx guys.
I'm DL'ing it as we speak and will have it loaded today.
I'll turn it on when I'm in game.
Anytime from here on out if you want to shout out at me, I will hear you.

[Hawk]

Could someone in authority PM me the channel password for our Ventrillo-- World Of Watermelons.
I got everything set and made it to the "Voice Server"
I have access to; The Bad Jokes Channel / Left 4 Dead / TF2.
But not the World Of Watermelons.

[RyderOCZ]

Done sir.

[Hawk]

Thank You sir.

[DocFrazier]

Also making a toon now, i'll post again once i get setteled in and have a class

[Preacher]

Doc,
What's your little fella's name?

[DocFrazier]

on IC server, i just started a warlock, Doktor. on Bloodscalp alliance i have a hunter named Destrophy

[fatcat]

on Bloodscalp alliance i have a hunter named Destrophy

look me up when you are on Bloodscalp. I have a lvl 80, 58 and 8 toons right now there.

Celibate, Despe, Freeballin are the names :wink:

[fatcat]

and then there were three.

Actually the Guild has started to pickup, with MiracleManS, Ryder, Hawk, Doc all online when I checked in earlier. Good time to get in at a low level and play through the game if you were thinking about it.

On that note, I have deactivated my account which had my lvl80 on the Icrontic Guild. I have aquired a different account, and am playing on Bloodscalp in a Guild of 240+ members. Tiberius also joined me tonight.

Look for the name Despe on Bloodscalp alliance if you happen to swing by there.

And best of luck to the Icrontic Guild.

[Thrax]

Just be careful about "acquired" accounts. The owner can take them back at any time, and there's nothing you can do about it.

[fatcat]

You know what, change of heart. I'm not leaving.

I logged into WoW 5 minutes ago and saw 6 friends online. I'm keeping the account. Lets build this guild!

<3 Icrontic

[_k_]

I logged into my account today.

[fatcat]

I'm back as Guild Leader.

I just spent 30 mins re-oraganizing the Guild. Please let me know your specs so I can put it in notes. This should make grouping up easier. Every Icrontian or higher can see officer notes, this is where the real names of people are.

Added a Retired Rank. If any of you that quit playing, come back, let me know and I'll put you back where you were. The cutoff date is 3 months right now.

Also, taking 10gold out of the Guild Bank/day just to have gold is gone. Live with it. If you need gold for profession building or what not, ask Ryder or myself.

Plus, I am looking to promote a few more members. Let me know if you want in on that. Candidates right now are Dustin and Jimmy.

FOR THE HORDE!

[Thrax]

GM Fatcat is tough... But fair.

[poofie]

Just be careful about "acquired" accounts. The owner can take them back at any time, and there's nothing you can do about it.

i heard this too! zomgees you better look out.

[Thrax]

All the initial owner has to do is provide the CC# that originally registered the account, tell Blizz service reps that the account was stolen, and the account is returned to the original owner.

[RyderOCZ]

Just as a note here, to the "noobs" ;D

Anything on the 1st 2 tabs of the Guild Vault that is useful to you, TAKE IT, that is why it is there.

If there is a piece of armor, weapon, bag, etc on the 3rd tab that will be useful to you. Send an in game mail or hit up one of the officers while you are on, we can get it for you.

Officers:

Despe - (f)atcat - he is also HMFIC
Dieuwill - fatcat (alt)
Aquon - Ryder
Grumork - Ryder (alt)
Satharas - Jimmeh
Nebelwerfer - Jimmeh
Prag - Pragtastic (if he ever plays again)


fatcat, don't know your other alts at the moment nor who else is an officer.

[fatcat]

head motherf**ker in charge
fatcat: Despe, Dieuwill

officers
Ryder: Aquon, Grumork
Jimmy: Nebelwerfer, Satharas, Andelynar, Axismundis, Ryokano, Diortus, Kilshon (jesus dude, did i miss any?)

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING IN THE GB, TAKE IT!
