Edited original post, some of the replys might not make complete sense. Basically I had an idea of running a classic EQ guild. But I'm stepping aside, Korival has taken over and has started a guild on Cazic Thule. It's called "The Lorekeepers of Norrath". Attached is the proposed guild charter:


"The Lorekeepers of Norrath"
classic/Progression EQ
classic "trilogy" original,kunark,velious

~GENERAL CONDUCT RULES~
we are all adults, dont do anything that would make someone question that. That being said if you can handle naughty language, please turn your filter on, im not condoning someone dropping F-Bombs every other word but the ocasional 4 letter word is acceptable. No KSing, griefing, asshatery our goal is to present a posative image so that people will want to join us and have fun. they can find out we are asshats later :P

~ZONE RESTRICTIONS~
no zones outside of "Trillogy" are allowed, not as a short cut to travel, or to buy a spell, not for any reason. Revamped zones are allowed, however see below for special rules regarding changed zones. special considerations will be allowed for those unable to buy disciplines and or spells that are not sold anywhere else AND were in use during the trilogy era

~LOOT RESTRICTIONS~
no loot outside of "Trillogy" are allowed. This includes but is not limited to items that were added after the orignial release of Velious, or changed after, ect. You can loot it, you can bank it if your not sure, research it via alla's if need be. If the item was added after you can A. sell the item to a vendor B. delete the item C. give it to someone (though not intrade, only as a gift to a newbie or your local begger, what ever. all cash loots/ trade skill loots are allowed .

~MISC DONTS~
no fast travel, no bots, no cheats/hacks, no mercs, no hotzones or hotzone loot, no defiant gear, no quests, nothing that wasnt originally intended to be in the classic trilogy. ( if the zone was revamped, thats fine, if you want to hunt a revamped zone fine, but the revamped loot tables will not be allowed :)

~SPELLS~
only spells origanlly released with "trillogy" will be allowed. the one exception will be in the instance the spell was Altered from its original state, with no alternatives, in this instance the NEW version of the spell will be allowed, and special consideration will be made to travel to obtain this spell.

~TRADESKILLs~
all tradeskills will be useable, no recipes that were implemented after the original release of "trillogy" will be allowed. IE no luclin recipes, no PoP recipes. the one black sheep that i can see is Research, it was fundamentally changed, the use of research is permitted ONLY to research spells from the apropriate era in wich we are playing.

~EXP~
no lvling past the max lvl for velious (60) here is the catch. WE ARE ALLOWING AAs , to avoid the instance were someone is max lvl and has to delvl to play their character, we have decided to allow people to AA at there own disctretion, if you dont want to it is not required to do so. we are doing this because of the ease of lvling a character as compared to eq in 2001, blame sony.

~GROUPing EVENTS~
would like to set up times in wich to hold a small events to get quest items, epic fights, farm armor/gems in order to progress as a guild and to hang out.

~RAIDing EVENTS~
i know not everyone likes to raid, and never will any raid be required, matter of fact i cant say for sure that raids will even take place. this will be on a as requested/required/wanted basis, if someone needs a particular fight that would require all of our raid force, it would go on a raid calander/planner. the person requesting the raid must contact an officer/moderator via email or in game to request the raid/event. That being said, if people want to raid for loot we can do that too, matter of fact it might be nessisary to do so in order to equip tanks/healers enough to do some of the fights requested. we will flush that out when the time comes, like wiseN we will handle our official position on raid loot distribution. random?DKP?Favorites:P?Need?

~RECRUITMENT~
no class (other then beastlord and Zerker which are not permitted at this time) will be turned down regardless of need, no race (other then drakken/froglock/vah shir) will be turned down, must meet lvl / gear restrictions (cant be over max lvl or using gear outside of trilogy). Advertisements to join us will be permitted but please no spam, if you group with someone who is a good player and into what we do, let them know about us.

I might be interested in something like this, but there would have to be a fair number of us willing to do it. when i say fair, i mean a few groups, 18-24ish. feel free to email me nic_jaba@hotmail.com, also with me would be one more person ( my wife :) ) so , so far you have 3 :D . also id be willing to be that alot of folks here would not be willing to do something of this nature, just out of the principal of not giving sony money till they give us the server we want.

I understand what you mean about principals. However, I'd rather give Sony money to play EQ the way I want to play it rather than support other games that I never enjoyed.

I agree 100%, I say do what makes you happy, which is why I say id totally be down if we could get some folks committed to doing it :D. Personally I hope 12 more people decide to do it, it would give me a reason to enjoy an mmo again, and a reason to introduce my wife to EQ and show atleast some of the old school zones with some of the old school feel.

I'll probably be a soloing class like a Druid or Necromancer. If I played a non soloing class like a Rogue, I'd be stuck if you guys outleveled me.

Just joined this group today. A bunch of good people. Don't be shy and join up if your interested in Classic.
Beats holding your breath, hoping that a classic server comes out.

hey all, thought id post an update, we are now at 11 mains and a few alternates. We are playing on the Cazic-thule server, /join lorekeepers:mine or email me if you have questions.

Also i would like to say that while i am currently playing EQ as it is today, to have a classic server is still the goal, I encourage everyone to sign the petition and our members fully support this petition.

Ummm...you'd have to include jewelcrafting in your exceptions as the enchanted metal bar + gemstone recipes have been removed.
