Gauging interest in an untwink/evil roleplay group

[Trelaboon]

Today I was thinking about how sortof bored i've become with the server. I still enjoy it, but i've been around since day one, and by this point, I have just about every class to 30+ as well as two 60's and a handful of chars in the 50's range.

I was thinking about how i'd like to start a new character, completely untwinked, with the mission of exploring zones we don't normally go to (Unlike the normal Befallen>Unrest>Guktop>Gukbottom>CoM>KC+ routine most of us do) I would like us to visit zones like Runneye, Gorge of King Xorbb etc and make an effort to only wear gear we've quested or looted. (No shopping in EC or accepting handouts)

I know this idea has been tossed around a bit here on the forums, and i've even gotten on board with it a few times, but for some reason it always seems to flop. I would like to try this again, but I thought i'd almost like to take it one step further.

When I played on live, I spent more than half of my time on Firiona Vie, which was a roleplaying server. Now not very many people roleplayed, they simply liked some of the server specific rules, but for those of us who did enjoy the roleplay, it was an EQ experience unlike any other.

What i'd like to do, is make a new character with perhaps a full group of other people, all under the exact same "no-twink" policy. I'd like to possibly go evil side (Ogre/Troll/Dark Elves). I realize there are Human Shadow Knights, and Gnome Necros etc, but i'd like to stick with just the three unanimously ostracized races from Antonica.

I'd like to even possibly have each of us hand in our PvP books; not necessarily to PvP, but to make sure that we're pretty cut off from society, just the way a truly evil band of outcasts might feel roaming the world outside of their forests and swamps. In addition to adding an element of realism to the aspect of being an evil band of misfits, it would also ensure we aren't grouping with those nasty Tunarean creations, or any other nasty brown-nosers

I know this really isn't most people's cup of tea, but I feel like it very possibly could appeal to a handful of people on the server, and honestly, that's all we need.

When: Play times would be most evenings, any time from 4pm-midnight EST. We would mostly only group with each other, soloing if we want in our down time, but we make an effort never to leave a man behind. We all stay within level range of one another, and if you begin to get too far ahead, hop on another character and let everyone else catch up

If you're interested in this, please comment or send me a tell. If you're honestly just not the type of player who simply can't play a totally ungeared character, don't bother. I want to make sure that all of us avoid hand outs, high level buffs, rots from mobs we didn't kill ourselves, any twinking or buying gear in EC (even if it's with money we've earned). If you want a Stein of Moggok, for instance, we won't buy it in EC, we'll use our Enchanter (if we have one) to do the quests for us etc.

Thanks for reading and considering!


Edited to add - I have zero interest in doing this on Red99, this is 100% a Blue server project. Thanks
