One of our members gave me a link for Web IRC, so you all can join our guild chat channel without having to download any software whatsoever. Just go to
https://client00.chat.mibbit.com, select the server: Rizon, use your forum name as your nick, and channel: #uthgard, then hit 'Connect'. Try to idle there as often as you can.

Our Guild channel on IRC will more than likely be our main form of communication for quite some time, otherwise it'd be very hard to keep track of 50+ names when we start our chars up, and find ourselves in the newbie guild along with 1000+ other players. We won't be able to form a guild as soon as we make our chars, cause there are certain conditions which must be met; one of which is for 8 of us to meet up in the capital 'Tir na Nog'. another is the 10 gold - which can be alot during those early levels, unless we all chip in, but for that to happen we need to atleast know who's who and where we'll all be starting up. So don't be so quick to leave the starter guild as soon as you login, it'd be more beneficial for all of us to stay in it, atleast until we can get past lvl 5 and promote to our main classes, as well as save some coin and maybe meet more decent players while we're at it. Anyway it'd be much easier to discuss these things in our channel!

Original start locations have been restored, and our world reflects these changes. Cotswold, Mularn, and Mag Mell are once again growing and thriving villages, and the Shrouded Isles portal has found it's way back to its proper location. Shrouded Isles comes alive more and more each day.

============================================

I'll match the roles needed to the ppl in this thread, based on their initial class choices, so we can see what we're missing more than anything else.

Realm: Hibernia

Primary Healing: Weekapaug (druid), Zade (druid/warden), dustysr06 (druid), Tramtrist (druid), Temig (druid)

Secondary Healing: backman_66 (warden), phacemeltar (warden), Lyrith (druid), Galfon (warden), Kvasir (warden), Laberintica (warden), Golad (warden), Vorhal (warden), Rust1d? (druid)

Primary Crowd Control: dustysr06 (bard), Weekapaug (bard/CC), Nuggets (bard), August (bard)

Secondary Crowd Control: phacemeltar (bard/CC), Lyrith (bard/CC), Temig (bard), Rust1d? (bard), Villert (bard)

Primary Bomber (caster dps): fishingme (enchanter), nalkin (enchanter), jaxon (eldritch), August (enchanter), Hershey (enchanter), Kyndig (eldritch), Tewaz (enchanter), Oleris (enchanter), Villert (enchanter)

Secondary Bomber (caster dps): phacemeltar (eldritch), backman_66 (eldritch), kender (eldritch), Galfon (enchanter), Amnvex (eldritch), Kvasir (eldritch), Villert (eldritch)

Primary Shield Tank: Ghordo (Hero), August (Hero), Zadrian (Hero)

Secondary Shield Tank: backman_66 (Hero), Galfon (Hero), Kvasir (Hero), Vorhal (Hero), Golad (Hero)

General Melee DPS: Ugrask (blademaster?), Zade (blademaster?), Zade2 (his friend, blademaster?), fishingme (valewalker), Scrooge (blademaster/champion), backman_66 (blademaster), , Foxxhound (valewalker), Erasong (valewalker), Amnvex (champion), Kyndig (blademaster/valewalker)

Utility Caster DPS: fishingme (animist), Scrooge (mentalist), kender (animist), Nuggets (eld/animist), Galfon (mentalist), Amnvex (mentalist), Beldon (animist), Laberintica (mentalist), Vorhal (animist), Temig (mentalist), Sweetbaby (eldritch)

Stealthers: Brynnag (nightshade), Cecily (nightshade), Yiblaan (ranger), Villert (ranger)

Potentially we can have the following: [5x Bards, 3x Druids, 3x Wardens] [3x Enchanters, 5x Eldritch, 2x Animists, 2z Mentalists] [3x Heroes, 5x Blademasters, 3x Valewalkers, 1x Ranger, 2x Nightshades] but seeing as how we can't all be in one group, it'd be good to know that everyone in the guild can XP with each other without having to resort to looking for PUGs or soloing. For RvR especially, atleast 1 Bard and 1 Druid per group are needed, but 2 Druids would be better ofcourse, 1 Warden, 2-3 DPS and 1 Shield Tank for defense.

I cannot say what we need most at this time, it will become clearer once we're actually up and running with our first chars.

[Scrooge]

Don't be so quick to leave IRC if no one responds within 5-10min, sometimes we're just AFK or stepped away for a bit, so stay on for a while!

I saw Weekapaug join earlier and Zade the other day too..but they'd leave within 10min of no one responding.

I never played this, would I get pwned over and over forever starting as a newbie?

When this comes back up we will all be started as newbie characters. There are a lot of knowledgeable people that will be playing with us (I'm not one of them =D) So you will have help and advice along the way.

Yeah you'll be just fine. There's definitely a lot to learn about the dynamics of RvR and how to tell what enemy classes are and their abilities, but that all comes with time. It's nice to have battlegrounds to PvP in as you level up to get you prepared for lvl 50 big boy RvR. Like the first battleground is lvl 15-19, and there's like 5(?) others up through the levels until 50.

I had never played DAoC before until my friend showed me Uthgard several years ago. It was a great experience. RvR wasn't too terribly difficult from the get-go because of practice in those BG's.

You won't really have to worry about that, when you make a char on this server, it's automatically placed into the newbie guild of the realm. So you'll get plenty of help from other players around you, as well as the support from our more experienced players who will be playing together right from the start as Zadrian said. However, IRC will be our main communication hub until we form the actual guild ingame. I'd recommend for you to read through this thread, and check out the links I've posted on the first page as well as those in my sig.
