So here's the general information we have so far

Guild:
"We Remain"

Server:
Unsure, Watching the DAoC on rift thread for details, server names will be changing at launch. It will be a PvP server.

Faction:
Undecided, looking like Defiant

Are others welcome?:
IMO, Yes, but the overall tone of this guild is casual as far as I can glean from everyone's thoughts. We'll run raids, run PvP groups, run Rift hopping runs, but I don't see myself running raids 5 nights a week.


Is everyone in agreement with this?

Uruz just to give you a heads up, I've been playing with Phed on a totally different server with her guild. Which was an old Lancelot guild on DAoC, I was talking about how if some of there members were looking for a home I had a place for em.

The GM of the guild then stated that he already had a home, it was a guild called "We Remain" and they had yet to choose a server for it.

This thing has stretched pretty far, don't be afraid to point a finger to get the ball rolling. I wouldn't be suprised if we had a whole army in wait just waiting for the deciding information of realm/server.

Managing this on the jump off is going to be pretty tough, I think we should talk in vent "The Officers + Uruz" before release to talk about management on the webpage and know who is who... and having some type of background on our invitations... like a note on the guild webpage that needs to be edited or a note in game if possible.

Just my input cause I think this is gonna be pretty big... atleast at the start

The best suggestion I could make is that they sign up on the guild website so it's easier to keep track of everyone. This includes anyone who others will be bringing along for the headstart/launch.

Since the "We Remain" Guildsite is up and running it's the absolute best place for us to centrally meet. We can have an on the vent meetup at some point but until headstart launch day we won't know the servers for sure, and it'll probably take me or a few of us a couple of hours to scrounge up the 2p for the guild tag.

Can you list the server/people you're with atm so i can try to get over there and chat with them?

Here's the most recent update.

Everyone interested in sticking with us for this launch needs to join the guild website to keep updated

I have coordinated a bit with the guys on Seastone they presently have a group called Happy Tree Friends" It's looking like they are keeping together for beta nd splitting up to bring guilds on at launch although, who knows how that will turn out. Bodyguard will be announcing the server they're going with after the list goes public on the 22nd. I'll be following up to post this info when I get it. We will be forming "We Remain" on that server on the guardian side. Wow'zers are rolling on defiant so I'm avoiding it.

This will be fun lets keep our stuff together for this one. Trying to bring in the rest of the fun group of our realm mates into this, it'll be a hoot. Anyone have a vent they'd like to offer up for this? I'm presently using a usurped Warhammer guild vent for our group.

If we are on a different server any chance you can convince them otherwise?

It does seem like Briarcliff is the place to be for old DAoC'ers. I'll likely be on Briarcliff/Guardian as well.

There are like 10 threads on the rift boards about where daoc'ers are playing, the community is going to be split no matter what.

http://vnboards.ign.com/rift_general_forum/b23470/p1

From what I gather there is going to be a ridiculous queue on Briarcliff because there are threads everywhere claiming it'll be THE server for world pvp. Which doesn't neccesarily bother me as long as it's not an hour long queue or something. I had 20-30m queues for Aion and I'd just fire it up when I got home from work and by time dinner was done I'd be logged in.

The other servers mentioned are Deepstrike and Seastone.

spitescare is a server i've seen a lot of daoc'rs going to.

I’m being split on what I want to do or go. I have my sister and some friends really bitching at me to roll defiant side opposed to the guardian side we have planned as a whole, so I may be split timing half and half each one (which is ok since I’ll be sharing my account with my sister).

My aversion to Briarcliff is the fact that it's a large server and will likely be full almost all of the time.

Honestly, I'm not thrilled with the idea of queing everytime I log on and I think that's part of what kills a game for people.

If the vast majority of us are fine with queing then Briarcliff can be the choice.

Do we have to set up poll for this one?

on the other side of that though Uruz... is people WILL quit within the first month. which will keep briarcliff at a good population. I would rather have a server full than a server with nobody on it .. know what i mean?

Up to you guys really though.. Seastone is fine too

Yeah, I played a full queue Aion server at start and it only took about 3 weeks for there to be 0 queue. I think I'd rather deal with a queue for a few weeks and end up on a high pop server than a low pop server.

Especially since BG's are instanced per-server and not cross-server in this game. Unless world pvp is that good and I never step foot in a bg... happy

My concern is the zerg mentality. MMO players don't hold back to keep a population healthy. If defiant outnumbers guardians 2-1 then defiant will press and squeeze every inch of the guardian lands until they basically kill it, they will then whine that people left and there's no PvP to be had.

If people had restraint and knew how to keep things fun then I wouldn't worry where we go. I will post the final result on the guild site and on the poll thread so we have it. Ultimately I want to go where the daoc players are, but honestly, at this point I feel like all modern MMO PvP'ers just suck and I'm losing patience.

I didn't like it in WAR when order rolled us for months, then all of a sudden chaos was dominating, then order whined, and left for order dominant servers. Kids today don't want a fight they want a massacre.

Right now Seastone and Briarcliff are on the top of the list, and if folks can make a good argument I'm definitely up for suggestions.

That's going to happen on every single PvP server. In beta there really wasn't any balanced servers, one side is going to roll the other.

Stupid 2-faction games.

Agreed with Choochie. Avoiding the zerg in a 2 sided game is as unreliable as going bareback with a Spring Breaker and hoping to avoid a UTI.

Do they have a char mapper? Like CamelotHerald where you can see stats, or perhaps like Aion and Global Agenda where you can see your char and points, armor, etc? Or WoW has the Armory etc? I don’t see one for Rift :: cry ::

I ended up rolling on Regulos with some rl friends, full server but only about a 3-5 minute queue for all of us tonight. I'm not sure how bad it may have gotten later in the night though.

Fun game so far, hit level 14, did a bunch of rifts and bg's. I think I'm going to stop questing, it's pretty boring. Battlegrounds get me 10-20% of a level and take 5 minutes, and are pretty fun.

Would have been nice. I had no choice but to go Defiance. I got voted out by my sister, boyfriend, and Rackir’s entire family.

But good news is.. we can set up duels if bored :d

I agree, I would have loved to stuck with you, but my family really pushed for Defiance hard core and with Rackir's family all going that route and me being closest to him - it was either family and rl friends compared to DAoC people I knew on mid about 6 years ago. You can imagine who got my favor.

We've been having fun tho. I'm starting to think that Guardians will be the zerglings though.

I do love how you can communicate in bg's lol. In 1 bg we all just stood around and talked near the walls communicating with the opposing team haha I told a person on our server to say hi to you all. Perhaps I'll make a cameo in vent and chat with you all tonight. I'd love to maintain communication plus I'll give you all of ours so we can organize some awesome events on both sides of the fence.

I hope you all are doing the best there. It was an honor helping you with your foundation in the beginning, and I'm glad you picked the name I got to choose happy

I'm sure we will see each other around. Most of us are in the mid 20s already so it's going good on our side.
