    no one is interested in an Apolyton group are they? It might be difficult to coordinate the playing times and servers.

    But I am curious what servers most of you are on.

    BTW how many characters can you have per account?

      The character count is unlimited I think. You can have I think 8 per server, but there's 90+ servers...

      I play on Nathrezim. It's a mountain-time PvP server with low population.

        I'd be more than happy to help people out if they choose Horde side on Bonechewer (Pacific PvP Low-Pop). Or choose Alliance on that server and I'd be happy to kill you a bunch .

        And get this... I actually got ganked by a couple idiots yesterday (I was fighting a mob, had less than 50% health and mana) and one of the guys who killed me was named Agathon. I thought it was funny.

          Several of us 'Polyers have a guild on Argent Dawn. We also have a new set of alts on Shadow Council, so if you're just starting out, that would be a good one, as the guild would be more similar in level.
          I make movies. Come check 'em out.

            Yeah, as Zargon said , an "unofficial" Poly guild is the Lux Musae Alliance guild on the Argent Dawn server - Arnelos, Zargon, GodKing, Genghis Farb and myself are on it plus a couple others who aren't part of Apolyton.

            The guild hasn't been yet formed on Shadow Council (we are all still too broke to afford the guild fee ) but all of the same people plus BigDork are there as the Horde on Shadow Council.

              I played it for months on my BF's insistence...I found it a terrible game. You need to group to kill something your level in later levels, progression is glacial, costs are ridiculous, farmers screwed up the economy, and it has the worst game interface I've ever seen.
              As Dr Spike said, it was designed for consoles. In my case, playing it on a PC, I used a gamepad - and it worked beautifully. Once you get used to it, it's a piece of cake to play, actually easier to play than a lot of other ones i've tried (ie everquest).

              The costs aren't that bad if you know how to shop for things - and I *never* farmed or anything else.

                Unfortunately I can't join you. As a European, I can only play on the EU servers

                Maybe if we get enough Euros, we can start a Euro 'poly guild.

                  I may do alliance on argent dawn then.

                  But I admit, I'm most anxious to play as the horde. Playing as the undead seems cool to me .

                  It isn't required to have any knowledge of world of warcraft for this game is there? I have never played any of the games. I doubt it is, as this game seems easy to get into.

                    An Apolyton guild in WoW would be nice. Bummer if it's split between continents, though. to Blizzard for this, Sony has this better.

                    I plan on playing WoW more often as soon as my EQ2 character hits the level cap (at the moment 36/50).

                      There are hundreds of hobbies that seem strange to anyone not interested in them. Trekking around the British countryside in chainmail does a lot more for my general level of fitness than sitting on my butt replaying Baldurs Gate 2, but I love doing both. Train and Plane spotters, now those guys make me nervous. Oh, and Morris Dancers.

                        I would do LARP if I could live action sex roleplay with hot damsels in distress.

                          There are more damsels who do LRP than some might expect. A long weekend of fun, exercise and alcohol consumption can have interesting side effects.

                          Of course there are establishments which can cater more directly to any sexual "roleplaying" needs you might have. That way you don't have to lug a bunch of equipment halfway across the country and camp in a muddy field on the offchance of some action

                            I suppose so

                            anyways I've been looking at screenshots of this game. Most are pretty good, some still look too cartoonish for my tastes. but I think the graphics are adequate enough to play this game. The gameplay looks like it will be more fun than everquest 2. But EQ2 graphics are far superior, but I really didn't have the system to run them anyways. And I still think that game had serious problems.[rant] I could run the game perfectly as long as I didn't do area transitions. As soon as I started too many of those, even at the lowest graphics settings I could not run the game. Shoddy programming if you ask me. And they expect me to pay for that? [/end rant]

                              No way in hell would that be better, I absolutely hated that about FFXI (non-regional servers).

                              No offense, but I like it when everyone speaks English. It's quite amazing.

                                My problem was that i often play when everyone else is asleep in my timezone. That causes problems with finding parties And i met a lot of people from other countries, too (like on 'poly, similar concept) that did speak english. Of course, in FFXI you have to work with people only who speak english or use the autotrans, but you can pretty easily use that. That and the fact that a lot of the japanese players were very *good* players and particularly were good teammates ...
