Sigh...The Mage's Guild (take a look)

[Kluren]

So...When are we ever going to see this? Mages stack, and Mages stack well. We all know this. Imagine a guild of Mages with pure air pets. Yes, you know how hard they hit. 20+ air pets. Lvl 49+ air pets.

Imagine now and in Kunark. 20+air pets *chain stunning* (with their spell) huge targets. Throw in a large group of Magicians with DD spells and that is one dead target.

Yes, Jify did mention this earlier. I am expanding on this thought. Come on. When is a group or guild of high lvl Mages ever going to air pet chain stun a target? You want advice on a duo or trio? I see these threads often. Well, 3 Magicians with 3 air elementals. Do it. I mean, please do it.

At least a group of 6 Magicians with 6 air elementals. My god...the possibilities. I just gave away my armor (about 1.5k of stuff) to a random newbie. I won't be able to try this as I won't be able to play anymore. I just took up an out of the country medical assignment. Oh well. Years down the road this may still be going eh? I made him happy at least.

[Finawin]

I would leave any guild I was in, in a heartbeat to take part in an all mage guild.

I tried to get one started up on Combine but the GMs fucked that up.

[Scrooge]

Sounds like an interesting idea, but not very realistic...

[guineapig]

Most raid targets are immune to stun. For stun-immune targets though, hell yeah.

[Hasbinbad]

There already is/was <The Mages Guild> (wording?) on this server.

[Taluvill]

There was, and I just dont think it worked out because of the population

[Hasbinbad]

It didn't work out because Gnomercy romanced all their good mages to IB.

[Taluvill]

Meh.

I remember they advertised "40 Mage Pets on Naggy!" lol

[Humerox]

I'd hate to be in it when it came time to get everyone their epics.

:p

[FatMagic]

:p

LOL! That would be brutal.

[Lonedrahon25]

Im down for an all mage guild, have actually toyed with this idea myself. But as already stated..Mage epics will be nothing but that...Epic.

[magic]

20+ mages running around south karana clearing mobs for quillmane... i'd charge each of them 1k an hour to track on my druid :D

[nalkin]

Seconded. That would be so awesome. The best group I have been in has been all mages. I think it was only 3 mages, but it was more efficient than any 6 person group I had been in at the time. Was in the mid 20s at Unrest I think.

[Ikeren]

At some point in content, basically everything important becomes immune to stun. (Some of Kunark is and most of Velious I think)

At that point, you could just add 2 tanks, a bard, enchanter, shaman, and 5-6 clerics to the guild and you'd be set. Monk for pulling. Necro for corpse summons. Maybe something else I'm not thinking of.

[Jify]

Mage groups are still happening on a regular basis. Sadly, my play time is not what it used to, and my social circle mostly limited to IB. (not sadly towards IB, awesome bunch of folks to play with)

We've managed to "mage pet" a few high end targets. If anyone is still interested in this sort of thing shoot me a tell. Maybe I can keep a list going. We could target a few places like PoHate, PoSky, Kunark & whatnot for fun and excitement.

My apologies for the earlier mage guild. My play time decreased to an almost unplayable level for a period of time, and most of my officers either left to IB or discontinued playing. 2 members ended up being banned for hacking (I had no idea until weeks later). As far as I can remember (my memory is poor), I am the only member of the mage guild continuing to play at this time.

The guild lives on, in spirit anyways. It's still a very feasible concept & would make a great way to introduce mages to the "raiding world". I don't see myself leaving IB to lead or take this up full time. But the possibility always exists for taking down minor raid & epic targets. (as a part-time, non-guild type event)

Hope this sheds some light on what has become of the guild.

Cheers!

Maybe we dont necessarily need a guild specifically just for mages. We could just have somewhat of an "alliance" of mages across the server that get together to take down mobs just to do it mage style. Considering we may not have the population to have a mage only guild or people even wanting limit themselves to such. I think this might be an easier approach.

[Falisaty]

i could only imagion a squad or 2 of mages going in and taking down Freeport or qeynos.... that would be a sight to see!!!

This is what I'm getting at. If you see me or Doug online, shoot me a tell. I'll get a list going. In the event we'd like to plan something, or do something, I'll send tells to everyone on that list.

Once channels are working, we will operate a MageGuild channel for all Mage related stuff.

Oh btw.. I've jumped ship and I'm playing a bard as a main now. But I still enjoy Mage groups! 8D

[Virtuosos]

i remember watching you burn down the guards in WFP, and even making a trip to dragnors cauldron to buy my bronze way back when, falisaty =p hell just 1 mage was fun to see....be interesting to see more raiding the city


JUST LEAVE KALADIM ALONE JERKS

[Ferok]

As those mentioning the epic alluded to, the only problem with this being viable is loot.

Well, that and there not being very many raid targets that can be stunned.

Jify ran this shit before you guys swapped him up.

[Jify]

No out swapped me up Goobles. I disbanded the guild because I could not commit the time required to run it and keep it up. The population size was too small, and my officers had disappeared.

IB took me in as a poor, lonely, helpless magician. It's a great guild, shame they aren't all mages. ;D

That's a little ballsy Jify. I remember Gnomercy in talks with you for weeks before that happened. We all asked daily about when "Jify and the mage guild" was going to disband and join IB. We actively courted you. Don't pretend.

Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but srsly..

You're right Hasbinbad. I mean, technically I was alone and lonely. Maybe not entirely helpless. The decision to disband the guild came from my lack of play time, and the logical decision afterwards was to join IB. (with much love from Gnomercy, Oly, Wonton, etc.)

I appreciated the love from IB prior to my joining. My original decision was to join IB if I could bring all the mages with me. However, at that point it was only me and 1-2 others. It just didn't make sense to hold out and make that request.

It's probably one of my worse decisions, waiting to join the guild. I mean, I really only missed Vox, PoSky & PoHate (3 raids total?) prior to joining the guild, but it still feels like I missed more than that.

Granted, I miss a lot more now a days. Like right now, posting a quick message before going back to hanging out with my parents. :(

Anyway. Mage guild lives on in spirit. We can still totally hit up some smaller targets if the targets are available and the mages are up for it. ;D
