I'm not overly keen on OOC recruitment for factions and stuff, but I thought it wouldnt hurt to post a semi-advertisement here.

The main reason for this is new players. It may just be me, but lately I've noticed a large influx of new players to the server. This is great.

Now, without being arrogant, I'd say that by now I know the server and all its about pretty damn well. I also remember what it felt like when I first came here...in took three tries before I even liked the server. It was hard, different and the setting really irked me. Worst of all, I was new and didnt know anyone. But, because my first real character got involved in a PC faction of sorts, and I met some great people both ICly and OOCly, I stayed for a while longer and saw the server for what is really is: awesome. I want to create that opportunity for other new players, and I think this may be a good time to do it.

Without giving to much info away, I'm bascially hoping to start a mini-faction of sorts. New players who want to start a new character, meet some more people and learn about the server I particularly invite. Veterans are also welcomed.

The group I intend to shape will consist of characters of neutral and evil alignments. It is primarily a religious group, and it will have IC reasons to fight and train together. I have some major overall goals in mind, but these are largely dependent on IG events and situations. Due to the nature of group and the dogma of the god its centred upon, warrior (particularaly barbarians) and clerical classes will be the only real options, other than perhaps a bard character, who would play as the group's War Herald and Skald. A wizard or sorceror specialising in evocation might also fit. All races are fine.

So again, if you are new to the server, I extend this invtation to you particularly. You'll meet more people, some of which have been in the PW and RP scene for ages, as well as get some information on the server itself. Particularly:

-Rules -General Conduct -Setting history and geography -Quests

Of course, more experienced players and vets are also welcome aboard.

Please either post questions here of PM me. Hope to see you IG!

Great idea, MadCaddies! It's really good to see someone making an effort to involve new players, giving them a positive impression.

I know most of us do our best to meet and greet new character/players (Kata spent 3 hours the other day introducing a new player and engaging RP with them.. it was worth it just for the tell when they left saying thanks for making the first visit so much more fun than they though it'd be).. ahem, anyway - this concept achieves the same thing on a grander scale, and gets people involved in interesting plots etc from the ground up. Kudos to you.

If I wasn't so tied up with my two main characters right now, I'd jump in with both feet myself.

I'm relatively new, and whilst I think i'm doing OK with my main at present I am woefully aware of my lack of knowledge of the server which I find a little restricting at times, but the pleasure of discovery is fun in itself. Due to the nature of my character I do however find it quite difficult to get involved with the server and other PCs, and something like this would probably be great for me.

I'm curious as to what the IC nature of the group will be though?

Its bascially a group, probably rather smallish in size, united under a common god. A cleric (myself, or another cleric who shows more prowress and leadership) will lead them.

The group will often travel together on quests, representing the unit-like training which will be in progress. The group will be one of neutral/evil alignment, and largely appeal to warrior, cleric (of that particular god) and perhaps bard classes.

I've a few plots/plans for the group, which will likely result in some PvP down then road, though this should be fairly distant I should think.

Sorry, but I don't want to give away too much OOC knowledge, for obvious reasons. :D

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. My character is made, and will continue on whether the group forms or not.

Thanks.

Hey, I am interested in this, my other character kind of fell through and I would like to help out. I have always been interested in the new players but never really found an ic reason to do so. Sign up and I will help.
