Altarial Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Who is planning on switching to EQ2? I don't plan on switching unless the majority of the guild goes too. But I do want to see if we can work it out so those who do want to switch go to the same server, so then those who switch later can join them too. I dunno the names of the servers or anything, but we should work out some sort of plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 The first server that starts with "H" or the next one following the letter "H" (either for normal, pvp, or rp servers). That's how The Honor Empire has done it for as long as I can remember (after UO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altarial Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 That is a good idea, since that'll be good for everyone on these Forums. So, if you plan on going to EQ2 and you want to be with your old friends, join the first normal server that starts with "H" or the next normal one following the letter "H". Hopefully that'll work out for the majority of the people switching. We'll see how long I can hold out switching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorill Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 For a while I will be playing both. My laptop won't run EQ2 and I will be on the road all next week. I won't be able to create an EQ2 character until next weekend. It is important that we choose a server fairly early. In Beta we could only have 4 characters per account and I'm pretty sure that is how it will be when EQ2 goes live tomorrow. We also have to decide if we will be good or evil. It will be hard for an early guild to have both good and evil members. I want my first character to be good. I have only preordered one account. It seemed like it would be too hard to two-box effectively with my current setup. I use two PCs that share the same keyboard, mouse and monitor. My first character will be either a Guardian or a Berserker. I plan on starting in Qeynos. I'll either be a dwarf or a barbarian. My second character will be a Dark Elf scout. I will complete the betrayal quest and become a ranger at level 20. But I won't name him any variation of Drizzt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altarial Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hehe I just read that book with Drizzt in it!! So I know what you are talking about, yay! I want to be a high elf cleric named Altarial I already made the character because I work next to a game store and they gave me a free character creation disc. I haven't preordered the game and don't plan on playing it anytime soon, but at least I've got an Altarial 2.0 if i need her! I want to be good, too, if I ever play.

Rumblebore Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 On Sunday they announced the servers: Antonia Bayle (RP Preferred)Befallen Blackburrow Crushbone Guk Mistmoore Najena Permafrost Runnyeye(UK) Storms (French) Unrest Valor (German) Following the guidelines posted here, there is no "H" server, so the next one after H is actually MISTMOORE. If you will be getting this game, please start you characters on Mistmoore Server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblebore Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 The more I look into this game, the more I am liking it. Here is some info on starting a guild: Guilds are created by completing a quest, basically you have to leave newbie island and get your city citizenship done first so that you can get a full group (6 people total) into Qeynos Harbor for good races (Don't know about the evil side). All members of the group have to be unguilded. Talk to the registar which should be in the first building after leaving South Qeynos. He will give you the quest on creating the guild. Also at end of Beta you were required to have 60 silver pieces to create the guild, don't know if this part is still the same or not. I will get the game and will be the focus person for starting a THE guild. I would like name suggestions for the guild. Please post ideas. Ideally, I think I would like Honor to be in the title. But I am open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altarial Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I'll do some research and get back to you later Now what is Elvish for "honor"... hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altarial Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I searched around in my Tolkien books, but only came up with these things: val- : power tur : power, mastery thalion : strong, dauntless valar : those with power Last Alliance [of Men and Elves] : made between Elendil and Gil-Galad against Sauron I like how Last Alliance sounds, but need it to be the Last Alliance of something or other hehe. These are words and phrases I came up with when searching in my Latin books. The forms and genders are just for research purposes, so if anyone else knows Latin help me out! Against: contra + acc. Ancient: antiquus, -a, -um Army: exercitus, -us (m.) Attack: oppugno (1) Band: manus, us (f.) Bright: clarus, -a, -um Commonwealth – res publica, rei publicae (f.) Courage: virtus, virtutis (f.) Defend: defendo, -ere, -fendi, -fensum Forces (troops): copiae, -arum (f. pl.) Glory: Gloria, -ae (f.) Honor: honor, honoris (m.) Leader: dux, ducis (m.) Evil: malus, -a, -um Family: famlia, -ae (f.) Fortune: fortuna, -ae (f.) Peace: pax, pacis (f.) People: populus, -i (m.) Strength: fortitudo, -dinis (f.) Strong: fortis, -e Sword: ferrum, -i (n.) or gladius, -ii (m.) Time: tempus, temporis (n.) Fortitudo et Honor – Strength and Honor Virtus et Honor – Courage and Honor Duces Honoris – Leaders of Honor Copiae Contra Malum – Forces Against Evil Tempus Pacis – Time of Peace Exercitus Honoris – Army of Honor Res Publica Honoris – Commonwealth of Honor (closest I could get to The Honor Empire!) Famlia Honoris – Family of Honor Populus Honoris – People of Honor Lemme know what you think. I can look up other words or form other phrases if you would like.

Evil Lien Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 well looks like either tonight or tomarrow if i can get EQ2 online i will buy it and start a toon. I will only have one account because i doubt that even one of my boxes will handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblebore Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 BAH There is so much attraction to the game that they appear to have opened another 2 servers, one called Innothule, which would be closer to the guidelines. I am torn............. I liked Mistmoore..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I would stay with Mistmoore since that has already been announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well, I got my copy today after my fiancee and I straightened out our finances and found a bunch more money in there. Funny thing is they gave me the DVD edition when I had reserved (and payed for) the cheaper CD edition I'm kinda torn between starting up on Mistmoore or going to the the more rp-heavy Antonica :/ I've got a couple of good friends on Permafrost too, but I think I'll just lure them over to the dark side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblebore Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I have the game and have it installed but by the time all that was done my head was well overdue for the pillow. I will try the game out tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelnica Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Pre-ordered the game but haven't picked it up yet. No rush to do so as I don't have a system right now that can even run it. So unfortunately it may be quite some time before I appear in Norrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblebore Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Some good websites for EQ2 Clan Whitestorm - Click links on right EQ2 - OGaming Also, Station.com - EQ2 site Allakhazams EQ2 site Given what little I have seen in game, and knowing the convoluted way they had to create and maintain the Allakhazam site for FFXI, then I would say do not expect things at Allah's to be anywhere near as detailed as it is with EQ Original for a long time.

Chris Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I just realized I probably wont have time for in-depth roleplaying on more than one game anyway (not cutting down on UO rp), so I'm gonna give Mistmoore a try. What are the plans for the guild in this game? Shooting for a nice big guild with active people all day long or a small but tightly-knit group that play around the same time? Also, does anyone know how the heritage system works? It says I've got a gift waiting to be claimed on my account (not the preorder boots) and I dont know what it could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
