The 'Tactical Gamer' guild is up. This is not the 3rd's guild. Their guild is seperate.
Firstly, I think it is in our best interest to enforce a ganking policy so that we do not get on another guilds $#*& list. Such as, but not limiting to exactly:
-Don't attack anyone, unless they attack you first. *with expections, ofcourse.
-Be considerate when sharing a wait for quest spawns.

Secondly, im not a leader, I plan on passing down leadership to whomever need be. I was just the first one to 20 and thought we should start advertising TG asap.

Thirdly, nearly EVERYTHING in the guild options can be changed once you create it. Including the name. So if we wanted something to better fit a role playing server - it's doable. Also, the government type can be changed, which is really no big deal. Different government types display different rank names. (Thats the only importance I have seen of the gov type so far).

Fourthly, a little note on PvP servers:
You will get ganked...
When you get ganked you go to a NEAR BY spawn point...
THATS IT!
No damage to items... No res sickness... No corpse running...

That's the huge part of AoC that I love- they made FFA PvP servers work!

Ganking isn't a big problem. Even in the 20+ zone. Occasionaly you'll run accross someone who got bored of questing. But, more often you'll run into someone just like you who wants to quest safely and quickly.

Getting on teamspeak and grouping up has never been funner in any other MMO.

Give PvP a try!

If you make a toon on the Cimmeria server, list your info here.

Sorry if I'm clotting up this "kind-of sing-up" thread, but I'd just like to first say well done on taking the initiative to make a TG guild, and also making a separate one to the TG-3rd. More representation means more spread of TG power .

Just a couple pieces of advice, I'd say that you try and stay in contact with the 3rd over TS, and make sure that when you guys eventually set up cities, you set up near each other and make an alliance. Like I said, more spread of TG power, 2 cities, and an alliance can mean that you guys help each other out when need be. I can guarantee that it will be useful and pleasant to both of you to have a neighboring city of friendly faces (aka reinforcements ), while still keeping yourselves separate.

Is the TG guild on the RP server actually going to RP? Or are we just there because....well just because.

from what I've read it'll be a little bit of both reasons - though I'm no expert. I'm not adverse to RP servers and RPing, but I think it's more beneficial that the more TGers on the same server the better. Even if they're organized into different groups.

It's no different than in-house squads playing BF2 and COD4 - they may be slightly different in the way they get things done, but they have the same overall goals of teamwork and coordination.

Therefore, if the PVP regular guild is goin to be near the 3rd's guild on a PVP server that's where you will find me when I get online (after I move) next week.

I'm actually on the RP server myself: testing the waters. Two things of note here:
1) Funcom didnt list the server as RP-PvP in the server list... so, basically 90% of the people who play the game will not even know there is one. (the other 10% MIGHT catch it on the AoC Forums)

2) The 3rd had a decent-sized contingent from day 1 so it was easier not to get ganked and more fun grouping. This works well for TG also because there will automatically be a merc squad (the 3rd) acting as Protectors for questers.

3) I have yet to see any real RPing in the game, but I HAVE seen a decent amount of chivalry on the server as opposed to the others I've tried. There is ganking, but it's pretty sporadic and only if you're acting stupid generally (farming another person's area, having your weapon out all the time, running around threateningly, etc.)

I think what the benefit is the RP server "tempers" the hardcore PvP servers and adds a bit more organization to the game. Initially I know people who went into the server probably didnt know it was RP, but once they see the OOC chat button, they tend to figure it out in chat. There's a lot of "wth is OOC?" OOC means out-of-character btw.

Anyways, I've got a toon on all the servers now... but I'll probably be focusing on "Cimmeria."

In the end, no one really showed up for TG on the straight up PvP server... so it's probably best at this point to consolidate on Cimmeria IMO. I know it wasnt the original plan, but when the TS channel is a ghost-town, things must change. And having an automatic ally is pretty nice.

I'd say that this is now the objective of TG's AoC PvP community. Spreading players over 3 servers is just silly. If only the 3rd had jumped on RP-PvP, and everyone else on PvP, then I'd say spreading over 3 servers would maybe be possible, but it's not the sensible thing now.

IMHO, if others agree with me, I think it also kinda needs to be made official over where the PvP community of TG should now be gathering, as to avoid any confusion, but something needs to be concretely decided, because there is lots of stuff up in the air at the moment. If I had my copy of AoC, I'd be reluctant to start playing right now, and I'd probably wait until something was concrete, as I wouldn't want to risk building up and then get rid of a character, but maybe that's just me.

P.S. @ Gambit, roughly how many of the 3rd do you think are on Cimmeria, and how many other TG (non-3rd) players? Just so everyone can get a feel of the rough numbers that TG are starting up with on this server.

Agree with just about everything there and my experience has been the same.

I've always gone with the RP server whenever I've seen one just due to everything Gambit stated. Even if you don't want to RP, as long as you aren't being an ass and have to understand that some pick-up groups might be looking for an RP experience, you'll have a great time.

Because the big RP guilds PvP for a reason. For some it's an assassin guild that's purpose is to gank and pillage...for other's, they form guilds strictly to combat those "evil" guilds. And so on....

So it gives the PvP an actual reason other than just "I'm going to gank that guy". And those reason's usually add to the game's depth and fun factor even if you aren't RPing so much while playing.

Face it, it's kind of hard to RP in voice chat anyway when the two women in your party are actually guys.

I think half of us were non-3rd, but really there were only 5 of us playing at any one time. I havent totally decided which guild I'm going to join yet, but right now it's really a moot point... as long as we're all together on TS (which we were).

The TG guild is already up btw, thanks to Humvee.

Do you guys have a separate OOC button? I'm on our PvE sever Zug, which was not listed as an RP server, and we have an OOC channel in the chat. I was under the opinion that they simply changed the "Global" channel name to "OOC".

ahhh.. ur right. Odd... why would there be an OOC on the Pve?

Because they can?

Hell, doesn't make sense to me either. But it also makes no sense that they don't have it stated on the server list that Cimmeria is RP-PvP. They have the Cultural PvP listing but not the RP one.

Please do the Age Of Conan TG Guild a favor and don't decide by yourself what and where we will be playing. First, it's a bit disrepectful to those who have been here since day one posting trying to build the Guild then someone coming along saying this is what we will be doing. Secondly, your view is not always the same view as others.

We will speak of this as a group than make a decision. There is a poll up right now on the subject - we will make a decision from based on the poll results and other imput from players.

Please vote on the subject.
