We are a laid back bunch of folks who tend to prioritize RL over socking, yet still manage to hit several 7-day targets with success on a weekly basis (often times with 30-40 people). While most raids occur during prime time EST (8-11 pm), we have several Euro members and conduct a couple of raids weekly during Euro prime time (2-5pm est). We also have French speaking officers and several Spanish speakers in guild.
We conduct a robust application process to ensure no douchebags make it to our ranks and everyone who comes to a raid can earn and spend DKP (priority is mains, of course). Minimum level to apply is 50, all classes welcome! Check us out on discord: https://discord.gg/pfeYPYt2 and feel free to reach out to me with any questions: Naexus/Ainea <Force of Will>#2850.

This is really horrible behavior and I think your guild would expect better of you.
I mentioned we should make a temporary recruitment post, and someone did. It's still a guild recruitment thread. Please don't dishonor your guild by putting things belonging to RnF in this forum, and by disrespecting the server rules set by GM volunteer staff. Thank you.

I've met a lot of great people in my ~year of BL/FoW and had a lot of laughs (and even some loot). If you're looking for a relatively chill environment where you can experience most end-game content with a good group of people, come join us!

FoW is a great guild if you want to be a casual, wipe to uncontested Traks and only get kills on Quakes or on mobs other guilds don't care about. It's also a great guild if you don't mind cliques and the guild leader and an officer cybering.
1) 70-80% of the server is casual, so thank you for bolstering the case for recruitment. If you want to be a sweaty try-hard, there's other guilds for that.
2) Pretty sure other guilds have wiped on uncontested raid mobs -- no one here has 100% successful execution of every target.
3) I'm not sure the alternative of staring at a wall, poopsocking raid mobs for hours against a raid force that will probably get the kill is anyone's idea of fun -- so killing mobs during quakes is a great way for a casual to experience raid content. Again, thanks for bolstering the case for recruitment.
4) Every guild has cliques, that is human nature -- to hang out with people you connect most with.
5) Sounds like you're jealous the guild leader isn't cybering you.
For the rest of you, my friends in Black Lotus are a great group of people fighting uphill battles with under-cybered sourpusses like Scalem. Give them a try!

FWIW, Venerate / Force of Will has been a great experience for me. I started playing EQ again when Green launched, after I left Live forever ago, mainly for the nostalgic fun, and it has delivered that. My RL is crazy busy, and I play this game for fun, relaxation, and nostalgia. And "casual" or not, I've experienced WAY more raid-level content on Green now than I ever did back on Live. Which is way cool.
It's fun, nostalgic, friendly, laid back, drama-free, and yet raid-capable at the same time. Hard to argue with.
Just my view from the inside.

I don't play anymore, but was in Black Lotus, which is now FoW, and and I can confirm that they were a great guild for people who want to experience the raid content with some chill, laid-back people and not with people who take the game way too seriously, have questionable mental health, or toxic attitudes like Scalem showed in this thread.

Yes! Actually had a pretty good haul on the server reboot.
Trakanon, Draco, 2 Golems, Statue, Zlexak, Cekanar, Guild-first Eashen which was exciting, as well as Guild-first Jorlleag which the pullers did an amazing job on. Then Gozz and Telk.
At this point I logged off because I didn't want to get divorced.. but apparently the boat was down in Timorous so 20 casters with big balls decided to hilariously go down Faydedar with a shaman tank. Good times.
https://imgur.com/ROu638l.jpg
Being able to test ourselves against Eashen and Jorlleag encounters were a lot of fun. My favorite was probably still Saturday's Aary, though. I got CoH'd last minute on a cleric and helped secure a 45 member kill. It was a suuuuper long fight, but we pulled it off with precision and I'm so proud of everyone. I was definitely on the edge of my seat the whole time.
If anyone is looking for a semi-casual raid guild because you need to balance RL priorities or hate the idea of socking targets, please check us out.

I agree with Kurrat.
There isn't a single major guild on the server that isn't in a Collab dance with another right now, including yours, Hesseth~
Which, to be fair, I think is pretty cool.
One of the reasons why Green is better than Blue.
Now please leave our recruitment thread alone unless you have muffins to share~ :P No trolling recruitment threads! Shoo!

So if you're here on the forums checking out guilds, please give us a look. I know if you are looking for a guild you've likely been spammed every day - but spamming people in game we have never met every single day with tells hasn't really been our style so far.
Most of our recruits come from people who have grouped with us and genuinely liked hanging out, or sought us out on their own. I like to think we offer end-game precision mixed with the warmth and feel of a smaller guild. In a nutshell, we like each other. We joke. We gif. We make dirty jokes and pick on each other. People go out of their way to help each other. We talk a lot in comms. We gif. It's laid back the majority of the time. But we still get stuff done.
A lot of us played EQ as teenagers and naturally we are in our high20's-30's with kids. We talk about that too.
Someone on reddit joked that we are the "Dadforce" a few months back. We won't hard-sock targets because of balancing our RL families/spouses.. and now it's become a running joke.

We have husbands and wives that play together and still slay the hardest mobs in the game. I think we downed .. 14..15 targets in one of the last Earthquakes? 6 of those solo ToV kills? A lot of skilled people here that just don't want to get divorced, basically.

Some Guild team up for big targets, or target they wouldn't normally kill on their own.
FoW teams with a guild which has been known to be extremly toxic/removed content from server out of spite/is litteraly the only guild to have been raid banned on both Blue AND Green.
FoW has been shitting on Seal team 24/7 until they suddenly were offered pixel they couldn't get on their own and shown their true colors.
I can only encourage the good people of FoW who didn't flush their pride for pixel to leave and join litteraly any other guilds.
And for people thinking about joining, you might as well join seal team at this point, get more loot minus the embarassment of prostituting yourself for pixels.
Props to Grendol and any other who still value their pride and have left that guild.

Still enjoying myself and glad I joined. Non-mandatory raiding was my #1 priority when I started looking up guilds 6 months ago. I joined with no knowledge of raiding and I've gotten to see more of EQs end-game than I ever did on live. Great crew of people.

For anyone new to the server, I'd like to button up some stuff on the last page.
First, it has come to my attention that multiple troll posts made recently were probably from one guy, in a rival guild, who used multiple forum accounts. And that this same person has trolled not only our semi-casual guilds recruitment post, but another casual guilds recruitment post on this forum.
As stated in the forum rules and above by a GM - guild recruitment posts are off limits to negative/trolling posts. As a member of the P1999 community for the past 10 years, I am a firm believer in this. Guilds deserve at least one space to freely and joyously show what they have to offer, free from harassment and most importantly: derailment. It is extremely hard to defend yourself in a space without doing your friends disservice via derailment.
Another person's opinion was expressed recently. I've looked at this person's post history and it appears they have a strong beef with another rival guild that isn't us. Every single post of theirs is taking jabs at that guild, and it looks like they sought to "get at them" via breaking the rules and posting on our recruitment page, since we have ongoing agreements. Curiously, this person's guild also has ongoing agreements with that entity, in the form of a rotation agreement that is still in place because (shockingly) it benefits their own members.
Any other confusion about the situation is understandable, as I realize regular members of said guild would be unaware of leadership talks between their guild and ours the past 6 months. They would perhaps be simply unaware of situations like, our tiny force being leapfrogged by their puller (after an hour of clearing trash toward that dragon) while other dragons were up to go after, or offers to team up repeatedly snubbed, or what our leadership has had to deal with behind the curtain, all making us.. gosh darn it.. recently a bit more neutral, about drama between all higher-end guilds on P1999 Green.
Sorry to be a bit vague, but I didn't want to call out any guilds by name - my goal here is to address what I was cornered to address for anyone new to the server, and simply move on. If anyone has sincere questions they can reach me on discord: Vowels (Aeaolena)#4075.
For the time being, I would like to respectfully ask that my guilds post remain off limits for harassment, as per the forum rules, from this point forward.
It's not a fair fight because of the issue of derailment, and I will be reporting every post.
Thank you for understanding. And how dare you not bring muffins.

Sure, that's why teaming up makes sense, it benefits both guilds to acquire more Tunare's, AoW's, Vulak, Vyemm etc. Everyone teams for those, and no one is saying we would have done them by ourselves. I don't think you realize ( is there light under your troll bridge to see?! ) that we have done and continue to do well by ourselves in ToV right? The only targets we haven't done as a guild are Vulak, Vyemm, and Doze.
I totally get that these forums are all about the trolls and flames, but these recruitment threads are where we are supposed to brag about our accomplishments, make your own thread and beat your chest there if you feel the need. Force of Will continues to foster a community where people can raid when they can, when they want too, without feeling raid attendance shame. Over the course of green we ( and our antecedent guilds ) have built something meaningful, that we collectively care about. I'm proud of what we have accomplished and I'm not going to feel ashamed for our guilds success.
