Alliance Discussion with Durin
March, 24, 2004
Durin says: Ask me if you are back, thx
Ignis says: hello
Durin says: Hey
Ignis says: Hello
Durin says: at last i can talk with you.
Ignis says: hehe true
Ignis says: whats up?
Durin says: Just fine, you?
Ignis says: good
Ignis says: I would be better if I was in the Beta! hehe
Durin says: Just a question.... What type server your guild will use? Yes, sigh, will also play WoW nooow, but must wait, i want Blizzard will be a good mmorpg of WoW.
Ignis says: We will probably stay away from Roleplaying servers and choose a normal server
Durin says: Good, same as us.
Durin says: Arathor : DBS, S&H and RoW will choose the normal server..... We wait a guild will join us soon, and 2-3 guilds will also fellow to Arathor soon.
Ignis says: do you know if the game will support alliances?
Durin says: We can use a multi-channel of "Arathor" for all guilds....
Ignis says: I have not heard if they will have formal alliances and alliance chat
Ignis says: that would work
Ignis says: who will manage the alliance?
Durin says: It can, if we create a bot, use a Arathor channal so long as 24 hours. It is normal of all MMORPGs.
Durin says: Arathor have no leader, just councils (one leader pr guild) and officers (one officer pr guild), and a guild have right for one vote.
Ignis says: sounds ok
Durin says: Understand or need i better explain?
Durin says: fine
Durin says: My english language is not my strong grammer, but i learn, i am from Norway
Ignis says: Councils are fine, but there needs to be a stong leader among us to take the lead...
Durin says: I agree, but if all councils listen a good council, so all will no matter agree with him of all cases....or so.
Ignis says: I agree
Ignis says: I am concerned about our guild being on at the same time as yours
Ignis says: our time zones are way different
Durin says: Sound fine
Durin says: Yes
Ignis says: When we start to log on, you guys will be going to bed
Durin says: But i play often in wrong timezone, most same with US players...
Ignis says: oh, ok...
Durin says: not for me
Durin says: But my guild is a international, same as RoW, S&H.
Durin says: international guild*
Ignis says: Ours is just U.S. so far. We welcome anyone, but so far only U.S. players
Durin says: I see
Durin says: We will possibly to choose a US / Normal server.
Ignis says: Same with us
Durin says: also S&H and RoW.
Ignis says: Will you guild be strong crafters?
Durin says: Yes, it is what DBS's goal to do.
Ignis says: I'm not sure how much crafting Shadows Edge will do. We will do some for sure, but I don't think we will be a heavy crafting guild.
Durin says: Yes, my DBS guild have also a mix goal, but the main goal, is craft-guild.
Ignis says: Most of our members are strong PVE players. A few are interested in PvP, but mostly PVE
Durin says: A normal server is mix of PvP, RPG and "have fun" -> normal
Ignis says: I believe that our guild will mostly concentrate on Dungeon Raids, and the Big Quests
Durin says: sound fine
Ignis says: We love to do the big dungeons and have fun killing the bigger creatures
Durin says: Yes, get good items
Ignis says: We also enjoy organizing big events and managing them. It is what we like to do....
Ignis says: Our way of leveling and getting experience will be to organize events and do fun stuff rather than just camp creatures and kill stuff over and over
Ignis says: We like variety and exploring....
Durin says: It is what Arathor try to use a good event for all thing. And defence our own land of guild halls (may not pvp in guild halls, but possible small garrions or okey fort).
Ignis says: So how do you see the alliance working?
Durin says: Plz wait. I got many messages of MSN.
Ignis says: What role will the alliance play in our day-to-day activities?
Ignis says: k
Durin says: Point : In beginning will no add much PvP or PvE, it is only 10 % + areans. But in later will raise more PvP if WoW works fine. We will try to do small/normal/big events every week (can also days, if any have a idea to make a small event). We will do a good friendship of all guilds, so it will raise a great teamwork and easy to meet them when you login the game, 7 guilds = about 250 players...?
Durin says: All need to build LVL and MONEY in beginning
Ignis says: Sounds great to me
Ignis says: True....
Durin says: My guild : We will not make a new second character to all first character is 40+, so allow more characters if the same person wish.
Ignis says: What I am hoping for is that people will be willing to share what they learn in the game with other people. Shadows Edge is creating a Quest, Item, Creature, Map database on our Fan Site.
Durin says: Yes sound fine
Durin says: We have many fansites, so thus my guild need not a own fansite.
Ignis says: If the alliance would help add their quests and information they learn from the game, the database would really help other alliance players
Durin says: Yes, it helps so much.
Ignis says: you should see our DAOC database to get an idea of what I mean
Durin says: One of my members, is already in the BETA, very luck of him, and he is a good guy, he always give info what we need.
Ignis says: You can see it at: daoc.shadowsedge.org
Durin says: I know what you mean
Durin says: Good info for all maps.
Durin says: So it is very value to info to all same.
Durin says: But WoW is may so big map than DAOC?
Ignis says: Yes and we are starting to see maps and some data on the fan sites now....
Ignis says: So that is great because the more information we have, the more knowledge our players will have and can enjoy the game more
Durin says: I feel WoW will be the greatest MMORPG than all MMORGs from 2004 to 2007, feel you?
Durin says: Yes agreed
Ignis says: Sintal and I want to share information with everyone so that people can enjoy getting the cool equipment and exploring the cool places...
Durin says: Nods
Ignis says: Yes we think that WoW will be the best game ever made so far..
Durin says: Yah, and i guess all MMORPGs will work hardest to have a good balanse against WoW.... See Daoc will build a new exp. and EQ2, many thing...
Durin says: reason they wish not to losse accounts.
Ignis says: So.....
Ignis says: Why did you choose Shadows Edge to form an alliance with?
Durin says: Well, I have discovered your guild have many experience and "old" age of the Board of SE. Many 33-45 years, so i am 100 % sure your guild is a good organization, and it would be a great friendship with us (may later ally if we play same server as deal). Also your guild have many members now, just better to meet us + Arathor.
Durin says: I am also old, i am 29 years old.
Durin says: My DBS guild is "new" from Aug 20 2003. But i have played many years as MMORPG-life.
Ignis says: Thats good, we like the more mature players. Our average age is 32.
Ignis says: One of the main concepts behind Shadows Edge is to attract members who are experienced and mature.
Durin says: My guild is most of newbie players as first time of MMORPG, but we help them to be a good MMORPG life and mature. We have a good organization and rule, so all will fellow my intention. Important they wish to have fun and learn the game and be a real exp and mature....In half year, so we become a strong membership and strong friend club.
Ignis says: Age helps with maturity, but we focus more on how people act in the game to determine maturity. That is one the of reasons we was to get to know people in-game before forming an alliance. We are open to giving your Alliance a try and will do our best to make that relationship work.
Durin says: I think it is also my great idea when they must stay as first character to 40+ so they can be easy to colloct money and item to second character and better, never problem or tried to work hardest as first character.
Ignis says: Ok, I have enjoyed our talk. I need to get back to work now. I will post this on our guild site and let our members learn more about you and your guild.
Durin says: Fine thx.
Ignis says: Thanks for the opportunity to get to know you and I hope we all have fun in WoW.
Durin says: We contact next time and thx for talk.
Ignis says: ok, cya
