FreddysHouse Guild

[LordjOX]

BloodOmen put up the idea, here we make it real.

Vision
Friendly and relaxed guild for FHers (+ friends&family) to play together in the first months of the game. However if we get a decent amount of members we can start doing stuff like dungeons, building player villages and stuff together. But for now, just a starter guild to find people to group with easier.

This will also serve as a contact list to find FHers in AOC

So, if you are playing AOC and interested in this, say you are interested and what server type you would prefer to play on.

I'll keep updated member list / interested list here:

FH handle - preferred server type (PVE / PVP / RP-PVP)

BloodOmen - ?
Dudley52 - RP-PVP ?
fettoken - PVE
Levin - PVE or RP-PVP
LordjOX - RP-PVP or PVE
old.tohtori - RP-PVP
tAB - ?

 

[Dudley52]

I got confused. I thought there was RP-PVE and RP-PVP servers. Anyway RP-PVP for me.

 

[Fafnir]

RP-PVE/PVE, pvp servers just breeds more muppets,.

 

[BloodOmen]

RP-PVE/PVE for me also, agree with what Fafnir said, sorry roleplayers

 

[old.Tohtori]

I just think a PVP server would be more immersive, real, and dangerous...aka...fun.

This area sort of PVP never really appealed to me since it's...well...fake.

And the muppets, no exception in any MMO, go for the normal PVP server, not RP.

Right, to be honest guys I may need some assistance on this one

My MMO experience is Eve. Eve has one server - I didn't really have to choose which style of play suited me better. I just got on with it.

Right, so we have:

PvE - Majority Player vs Enemy with border keep PvP?
PvP - You can PvE but other players might try and sex you up?
PvPRP - You can PvE but other players might try and sex you up with costumes?

From what people are saying the RP PvP server attracts less scrotes. That is a big plus point for me. Actual RolePlaying as in "forsooth" and visiting "ye old pube" doesn't appeal but I consider that in a game I am playing a role in that world.

I would presume that on a PvP server there are *safe* areas and the like. You can't get ganked everywhere or can you?

Cheers for the noob help,

taB.

PvE - You can freely beat down monsters and not have to worry about being attacked when doing so, pvp will take place in certain zones.

PvP - You can try and kill monsters but some high level dick will come along and kill you.

PvPRP - You can try and kill monsters but some high level dick will come along and kill you whilst screaming "I SHALL SMITE THEE WITH MY MIGHTY SWORD!"

 

[chipper]

theres usually some safe areas in a pvp server like major trade centers cities etc afterall ppl need to buy stuff.

pvp you tend to get alot of very very hardcore gamers and tbh unless ya gonna throw 8-10 hours a day at the game from the bat its prob gonna be rough lvling up

pve is usually for the more casual gamer who just wants to lvl up and pvp at their convenience this will be favoured by many ppl

as someone said pvp-rp doesnt mean you have to talk in ye olde english just means you cant say stuff like you fuckin noob i hope u get hit by a bolt of lighting well u could have the lightning bit i suppose but fuckin noob is well out of there

tbh i think its lookin like pvp-rp for the guild im hoping the guild its self isnt too strict on the rp etc but itll be nice to play with non twats.

Biased f*cker

taB, i'll put it in terms you can understand hopefully perfectly:

PVE: 1.0-0.5 with the option to visit 0.4.
PVP: 0.4-0.0 with some stations you can park in.
RP-PVP: 0.4-0.0 with some stations you can park in,less griefers, no smilies or real life talk.

Lies its happend on EVERY mmo i've ever played on a pvp server, some high level ass comes along and kills you. Ultimately resulting in you having to find a new area or logging off until the ass in question has gone to sleep.

Its happend in:

DAOC
World of Warcraft
and quite a few of the free mmo's i've played.

Its just the law of a PVP server no matter what sort it is.


Ofcourse it doesn't bother me, getting a 3 day head start means I can be that "ass" if I choose to be (which I fucking will if I ever find horner playing AoC)

Ah but that's a PVP server where the twats live, RP-PVP is a whole different story.

We get twatsw there too, but the twats kill for a reason and rare twats kill for "fun". And even then, those twats are dealt with fast as the RP denizens have a reason to kill the twat, where as in the normal PVP server the twat is left alone 'cause other twats want better twatbashing stuff and are "busy"

 

[Levin]

It all depends on how much the GMs enforce the "RP" element really. I suspect there might not be much difference between PvP and RP-PvP.

I still root for the PvE. I am pretty sure there will be a lot of other roleplayers there, as the majority of them tend to dislike the leetist attitudes of PvP servers.

the thing is, you can play in peace in the RP server if you want to RP, but you can't on the others.

Where as, you can play normally on an RP server, as guildchat is "off topic" anyway(or atleast i'd think so).

So only thing a normal player would have to do on an RP server is not to use smilies or talk about football in general chat

You can on the others too.. you just have to unsubscribe to the channels you dont want to listen to.

Like the surrounding area in a tavern?

The fact is that on an RPPVP server a normal player won't be bothered, but on a normal PVP server, the RP player will face hell every day.

 

[taB]

Cheers for the explanations guys.

I spend most of my eve time in 0.0 but find high-sec handy from time to time. I'm leaning towards RP-PvP from the explanations given but I think I'll be happy to go with the majority and see how it pans out. It's more about playing with a good bunch of people to be honest.

 

[LordjOX]

Yeah, just a clarification: there is no RP-PVE. So either RP-PVP, PVP or PVE server. I agree that any server that has RP in it would garner a more mature server community. And in general there is very little RPing going on, so you can do and say what you want (just don't pick a name like Buttlicker or anything).

Practical roleplaying would be preferred though, you act like you are a Priest of Set, an Assassin etc, make a background or funny talk if you wish, but that's just fluff. It's basically to be true to your role. Ie, a Priest of Mitra that is focused on healing and helping people wouldn't go around ganking people, unless it fit your character.

Also, PVP servers tend to garner a more competitive community that is all about leetness, pwn talks and whatever.

Anyways, looks like we are leaning towards PVE or RP-PVP, we'll have to decide a 1-2 weeks before servers go live.

Yes, you can turn off even the surrounding area in a tavern. But yes, as you say, if GMs and players REALLY enforce the RP rule it will be effective.

I still think you can have some rather good roleplay opportunities on the PvE server though, as I think a large portions of roleplayers will go there. I remember in DaoC if you walked up to someone and roleplayed with them they would in 9 cases out of 10 follow along and if you were lucky you had just recruited a new roleplayer who would otherwise never had thought the thought of trying it.

 

[taB]

So, for example would a roleplay server prevent wizards from hanging around with anyone except brain-dead thugs as Wizards and Priests in Conan never seemed to last very long in the same room together.

Or will there be 000's of necromancers who are evil buggers but in servitude to some flower loving hippy?

Or do people just ignore that kind of thing?

But if you turn off the surrounding area in a tavern, hell, there goes the only changing element in RP.

9 out of 10 in WoW right the opposite. "shut up loser", "go to RP server noob" etc were a norm anywhere else but a RP server. I grew very tired of it, especially since i wanted to RP and my friends were there. So, was forced to just goof around and exp exp.

I just don't think there's any harm in going to an RP server, where there is harm to RP people on a normal one.

 

[ECA]

Where did my post go?

I'm in favour of pvp server preferably normal pvp.

Oh, I didn't know that about WoW.. never played that game. I can see where you're coming from then.

And absolutely I would have preferred a roleplay server as well, if only it wasn't PvP! That's the harm in it. You won't be able to play the game at your own pace, but will be forced to compete with the hardcore crowd whenever you try to do quests, travel between places, explore, whether they are roleplaying or not.

Ah yeah, that's a valid "please don't" argument

Though i differ, as i like the "killed anywhere" asspect, but then again, i loved HC mode in diablo

I'm not gonna cry wolfenstein if people decide to go on a pve server, just prefer PVP, especially RP pvp since the normal PVP servers are just what you're afraid of.

I can, in contrast, say that on a RP-PVP server, it's frowned upon(usually) if people do gankruns or some such, without a reason. That's what usually keeps the gankers in normal servers. And usually, the gankers are the ones who hate RP too.

 

[Aoami]

i'd be interested and would prefer a PvE server

 

[chipper]

quite simple guys if we get a wide spread of ppl theres no stopping a guild been made on each server type that way if ppl cant get along with 1 or the other the door will be open for them on a diff server type

That's true ofcourse, except that strength in numbers rule seems to apply.

But if we want the guild to be at all successful, it needs outsiders(gosh-shock-horror) too

WE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO OUTSIDERS! THIS IS A LOCAL FORUM FOR LOCAL PEOPLE!


... but yes it is indeed true, its pointless trying to be a leet 8 man guild for example defending ur guild town vs a force of 100-200.

We do indeed require more so outsiders is indeed a must.

Well I bet we all have some DAoC / WoW / whatever buddies that might get interested. Try bringing them along. Because this will be great fun. And yeah, strength in numbers

The point is, we gather enough people to form the core as a guild, if we get along nicely, we continue and do higher level normal guild stuff (PVP groups, Raid groups, Dungeon groups, Build player village, Build Border Keep, etc etc). If we stick together and fancy the game, then why not? Unless you want to commit yourself elsewhere or got friends that want to play on that obscure Esperanto server that offers leet pvp and free hats.
