Haha, I did that on purpose..though there are a few that have copied my style....Bastards.

Try to clear your mind of prejudices. E.g. what's the problem with receiving notifications from a junk account inviting you to play a game you want to play at a time convenient to you? You can generally set these up to not bother you at times you are uninterested in playing.

Speaking of which, what times are you looking to play EQ with a guild? And what content are you hoping to do?

What you want to achieve and when you want to achieve it are two very important factors in joining a guild. I'm sure you could find good company in whatever guild you chose to join.

If you don't like it you can always hop.

Does he really have to use a batphone though? Don't most guilds usually communicate in guild chat if they are mobilizing to a specific target?

The guild I was in last used batphones, but they also used guild chat for communication when moving to a specific raid target.

I never had to use a batphone, I only needed to have access to voice, and even that wasn't 100% needed because the guild gave instructions via chat channels in the game as well as used voice for those on the raid.

He sounds like he enjoys most of his time in the game doing what he feels like doing when he feels like it, and doing it on whatever toon it is he feels like playing. Raiding only when the mood strikes him.

Batphones and constant use of voice can be distracting for some players who really like to immerse themselves in the game, he sounds like one of those kind of players.

This guy gets it.

Pretty damn spot on, good on you.

But in reality, yeah, I wouldn't mind getting more gear for Harmon honestly, but at the same time I don't want to sit and track mobs for 12 hours a day. Just doesn't interest me. Had a good discussion with my buddy Oblie about this last night.

In the end I want to have friends, not just people who I raid with then log to alts and do nothing on our mains. That to me seems too corporate and not, dare I say intimate.

I do appreciate most of the comments here. For that I thank you all.

Fair enough, you can probably get away without bat phone, but really having one isn't a bother if you manage the notifications. I only get them when I'm at my computer anyway.

Even so, I still feel you carry many misconceptions.

I don't think anyone will oblige you to sit and track mobs for 12 hours a day.

Dozens of people show up to raids tracking only takes a small number of people an hour or so each. Mathematically speaking this means it is far from mandatory for every member to track!

If you want to make friends, I am sure you will make friends regardless of which name you end up raiding under.

I Tried to read up on the whole May 24th Live servers doing classic thing and I still don't get it. From what I read it doesn't seem like the all of the game systems are rolling back, just the expansion content is being locked, or am I wrong?

It still says XP rates are increased, Raids are still given an instance ID. What is classic about that? I guess it will be fun to guarantee every single boss to be claimed by your guild every cycle at least, gearing up twice as fast....

I understand keeping "better" sytems in place for the sake of it not being annoying, but part of the EQ Charm is how much of a pain in the ass it was :P

Is the map going to be in the game? Will EQ live's death system be in place? etc. etc.

Live eq is like the newbie version, including the progression servers. agnarr PoP 2018. P99 still more classic.

Perhaps I do, I only have what I hear from others sadly. I do know that what the small toxic minority does to the large majority that is fine. I give you that, hence why I am here just looking to see whats happening. I do respect you points and appreciate it.

Thanks sir. From which name do you hail?

You'd do well to talk to people in game from the guilds you are interested in, rather than follow the fake news and rumour mills of the forums.

I'm sure most guilds have recruitment officers you could be referred to. Some are even active in this thread.
