Self found/hardcore guild, but fun

[Croixraoul1]

There doesn't seem to be any self found/hardcore guilds on Green, but I think the concept holds a lot of promise as long as the rules aren't built to punish players and the guild has an emphasis on working together.
I was an old member of the Auld Lang Syne guild on Blue and it was the most fun I'd ever had playing EverQuest.

Here's the Discord link for anyone who might be interested in joining and helping me start it up. https://discord.gg/A9ftK5h3

Let me share my vision with you if you have a minute.

The basic rules are: Permadeath if you die fairly. Unfair deaths (DCs, AFK deaths, emergencies, etc) are counted as near-death experiences and you get several of these before it counts as a death. Getting rezzed within 10 minutes of death also counts as near-death. This keeps death as a lingering outcome but removes the frustrations of having a random internet outage cause you to lose all of your progress. It also lets paladins and clerics who rez keep an important role within raids/groups. It's an honor system.

Self-found. No free items, gifts, gold, or power levels. You have to kill and earn things yourself, BUT, you can freely play with others and buy/sell fairly earned items with other players. If you've saved up 100 bone chips, you can go sell them for plat and buy a weapon. You just can't go ninja loot high-level mobs or get free items from friendly players. Guild members can freely trade crafted items of any level or normal items within 5 levels of the recipient. This is to keep a focus on self-found gameplay, but the guild can work together to benefit each other and you're not TOTALLY without conveniences. ALSO, ports and SoW are fair game. Running slowly isn't hardcore.

Roleplaying. It's 100% optional, but if you make a character following extremely simple and unintrusive rp rules and participate in rp (or potential events if this interests people), you gain extra near-death experiences.
