All them, frankly. I can picture it now:

GL: You used PoK!
Smokey: No, I didn't, I bought a druid port.
GL: You used PoK!
Smokey: No I didn't man, now let's raid, ok?
GL: Smokey, this isn't live, this is a progression guild with rules, and you used PoK, which is against the rules.
Smokey: No way man, come on, let's just raid, jeez.

Smokey: Alright man, jeez, I'll gate and walk back, shit. (gates, goes LD)

GL: It's a progression guild, Smokey

lol, good post/great gif

that's pretty sad, guy.... he posted a hilarious response and I had a good lol, what's not to get? can you seriously not tell what parts of that post are sarcasm? dude.... here's a hint: simply assume that I'm a normal person or a buddy of your's goofing around maybe, and see how weird that post is then. damn...........

for those of you who haven't seen that thread, some guy looks at my death penalty and equates it with BDSM culture. my post in response to his was largely based not off of what he said but EVERYTHING that it implies... the implications are just hilarious, aren't they?.......... for one example, you do know what Freud would say about his post, don't you? I give ppl too much credit I think.... oh and the last 2 lines of mine were quotes, haven't you ever seen "Kenny vs Spenny"???? I know it's the internet but it should be pretty easy to tell when someone's being serious or not....

the logic train:

1) I want to play EQ, all 20 expansions.
2) I don't want to play with the bs mercs/fast travel/stat-capping gear, or anything else that trivializes the content. I don't want to skip the first 15 games and start raiding in COTF asap....
3) so, I try to start a guild that doesn't recognize any of that game-ruining shit.
4) I look on here.

obviously I'm going to look here. the ppl on the SOE forums are happy with eq as is, where the fuck else would I look for those interested besides the biggest group of ppl who are dissatisfied with eq as SOE has it, but who love eq? OMG THIS IS THE MOST RETARDED THING I EVER HEARD.

I do the hardest kenken puzzles in my head, in half an hour. in college and high school I slept through classes, didn't do homework or projects, and got straight A's and B's b/c I knew how to take tests. the only games of chess I remember losing are games in which I was winning but didn't bother making another move, as I was busy with playing poker professionally, which I've been doing since I was 20 years old, in fact that's what I dropped out of college for. yet you confuse me for an idiot, which pretty much makes you the "fucking idiot."

I'm sorry you couldn't imagine the simple logic I used to come here for support with a hardcore guild on live EQ. I imagined that some users here were here b/c they had the last straw somewhere with SOE's hand-holding features, I didn't think that every last one of you also necessarily needed a smaller game. I still believe a lot of p99's users would be interested, it's just that mostly only the die-hard are actually using this forum.

give us another constructive, witty post with an average of 3 letters per word and 2 sentences, now. 1500 posts, lol. clown.

nice novel didnt read, dont need to, i just know know you may find like 3 people, 5 at max, that will end up doing this but i doubt it you even get 1 or 2

Jesus gaffin - it's like you are asking for it

if you can not tell this is the most stupid idea ever posted on the forums im sorry gnight

No no,,,, your right, i just couldnt resist. Im with ya man. LOCK THIS THRED!

So, 5 people, each of 'em six-boxes a group (it's totally :classic: man! :samdeathwalker.gif: )... they'd be raid ready, right?

i would go to test server, not the regular live ones. there are a few guilds there that are already doing this. its a lot of work to organize, especially if you plan to really enforce the rules.

from my experience in doing self-imposed progression content the biggest issues that will come up with your guild are how quickly to advance through content and how strictly to enforce your rules.

also, there is no way to enforce the "double exp" thing. the exp curve in eq is hardline changed now to help new players catch up. You will literally go from lvl 1 to 50 the way you would go from 1 to 10 in classic. there is no way to change this short of intentionally taking no-rez deaths to de-lvl...you will not be able to do a classic five hour guk grind without gaining 10 lvls or more.
