Alright then, I'll take wizard, you can be cleric

Nitro are you bard/cleric then? I see we have a full party here already, with more people to add eventually.

Also, I just checked the server, there's still quite a lot of guildless players running around. Looks promissing at first sight.

We have Glenn as a Bard, me as a Wiz so far for those two picks, We could use another Wiz so..

There's always tons of wizards around. A full time cleric is much more valuable.

Tas, you in game?
And well. If your more experienced in the Cleric field. Itd be nice to have you there..?

I will be Cleric, I'm sure I can be active, so you'll have Cleric all the time atleast.
(wont take sub till we are high level)

Ok, finished downloading.
Made my character, IGN Alkatraz Build: wizard
When do we start?

Officially? Sunday. But it doesn't really matter as long as we're all around level 20ish.

We start at Sunday, because its Christmas in two days, so people arent able to play.
If you ask me, I'd start today, but I dont want to start till we have lots of people

Alright i made a wizard, i'll try to get him to lvl 15-20 by sunday.

If anyone wants to go ingame, PM me, we started noob levels, but we will start serious at Sunday.

Would be good to meet these two other players who were already there before us.

Okay, guys.

I know I've been hopping around a lot lately. I started at ksro a week ago and it was fine BUT the language barrier is so much NOT cool!

You guys can count me in if I can be Chinese! I really want to own an archer this time. To make sure I won't skip server again, I guess I'll purchase 1k silk this time. However, this will only be done if you guys are in this for real! I won't be able to play like I did when I played at Xian and Venus (3 hours per day). But I should be able to find one or two hours per day, usually.

So yeah, I'm gonna create my char now and get to lvl 20. I do realize I'm gonna solo grind most of the time (probably) but I'm fine with that, as long as we have an active guild.

Please update the first post with my IGN

IGN: PillowFight
Build: Pure str archer

You're more then welcome to be a blader. But we would honestly prefer it if you rolled as a euro so we could party together.

Just a suggestion.

That would definitely be the best idea! We really need warriors, actually. Of course it's 100% up to you, and you should only choose a build that you know you'll be able to stick with. Trust me, it's not worth it to create a build from what other people tell you to do

Well. Iris already had new players joining recently, whom are already 20-30 now. Back in October we had a wave, whom are 50-60 now. Mixture of timezones, we got two active guilds of legit players, with here and there legit players in other guilds in the union.

Movements don't need to start out fresh, they just need to be concentrated. This new movement is just another one of those tries. I can always play on Iris and this new server, but I'm already playing two characters on iris (low level to play with low levels and mid level). If I do get on, I'm going to mess around and do a chinese

I can't stress enough.. These legitimate organizations need to be concentrated

Come to Iris. We still need more people. And so what if there are "high levels" in our guilds already... It's not necessary to be the highest level to have fun.

I don't know, depends how well this could turn out on Iris. Either ways there are already high levels on the servers. For me, if you say those waves didn't die out on Iris, and if we still have 8 players anyway, then I'm fine going there, we'll get more concentrated like you say (and you do have a point).

I'll check out Iris, then it depends on what the others want too. Our wave could bring potential activity to their server, since there are already legits. What do you think?

EDIT: Checked Iris and it looks much like a dead server, really.

Of course it looked dead, you didn't join the guilds. There are not a very large number of real players obviously.

If you classify a non-dead server as seeing a large number of noobs in the beginner towns, you won't see that on an older server; you will have to go to a newer server for that. But don't let the allure of seeing many people fool you, digging deeper it likely most of them are new botter characters.

The idea is to get the word out so that people will join with you. Jumping on a new server every time one opens and spreading out thin is not a very efficient way of ensuring that you will have active people chatting/partying with you every day.

We have an established community on iris already, even though it is small. It would be nice if you would join us, because we need new people but it just seems like you are just taking a cursory glance at what we have already and dismissing it.

Can I temporarily join yourguild to see what it's actually about?

Sure if you want to. But since you are joining alone, you will be alone because there are no active players at lvl 1. You will get bored of soloing and quit because there is no one on that is your level. However, if you bring the rest of these people with you, then you will have active players with you. See how this works?

I am entirely open to making a new character just to play with newer players. A number of people in the guilds have done it with our recent group that is now around 20-30. However, it's 4 am here and I'm tired so I can't add you now. This is Dratini time so you should talk to her if you do decide to join.

Iris has a small, nice legit movement I'm there and I like it more and more every day

I don't want to play for real till Sunday along with the others. I just wanna check out what your guild is like, to see if it's worth it for us to join Iris instead.

Yes indeed Iris was fun. However, I don't think that a new legit wave will stand the test. There is already tons of capped players and hundreds of power lvlers, which will, most likely, make some of the legit people join their parties.
No offense, there are great people over at Iris, I were there myself once! I just don't think it's the place to be for this new community. And besides, I like the fact that Aztek is an American server, lol (This is not the reason for me joining it - I'm just saying).

You're free to join, I'm online right now

A large body of bots is no stranger to any server and Azteca is only waiting for the inevitable. I am not sure if I understand your bit on legitimate players joining power-level or capped player parties. If you're talking about legitimate players would rather join a plvl than an actual grind party, then wouldn't that be the issue of the individual rather than the server? I still don't see the reason for not joining Iris. It isn't like a legitimate player will have an advantage in reaching high levels (80, 90) and don't mention SP requirement when it comes to botters and plvl on a new server. What exactly is this test, though?

When you do join, you should join ventrilo as well. The activity in vent depends on North American time, as of now all active vent goers are American. But vent does get irregulars who aren't American

true that.

If you can get ~10 who are active ingame and in vent it really is a different experience.

So, we're still recruiting for Azteca, we fooled around yesterday and it was quite fun and successful. Another or two core, dedicated members would be perfect.

If your gonna go on a new server.. go on Maya instead of Azteca.

Much better and bigger community (even if their not legits), at least from my experiences.
