I am thinking of starting on the test server or at least carrying over a fairly low level character there. I am looking for an active guild that helps new players and maybe even raids. Is there anything like that on Test?
There are currently two "active" guilds on test. Primal Brood (PB) and Eternities Demise (ED). Primal Brood is one of the oldest concurrent guilds still active in EQ. It was established over 15 years ago right after the Test server launched. It's gone through many changes in that time, as has the Test server, but for nearly the last half-decade Primal Brood has worked to provide a welcoming home for all players on the server. We also work to improve and maintain a friendly, helpful community on the Test server itself. We do some very light and casual raiding every Saturday evening. You can find out more about us by visiting our website @ http://pb.gamerlaunch.com Eternities Demise is very new and I can't speak to their guild goals or environment.
Thank you for the response. How do I apply to Primal Blood for my characters? Do I post first on the web site?
Eternities Demise would also welcome you. It's an another alternative to anyone new to the server or looking for a fresh start whether you're a returning player or someone who is looking for a change of pace from the Live/TLP servers. I'm in game now on Menamienexe or you can talk to Iharthealer/Roretize. Either way welcome to Test.
You are welcome to post on the website and apply through there, or you can log into Test and contact one of our officers directly. You can usually reach me with a tell if no one else is available (/t gotwarx) It's worth taking a read through our guild charter, as it's one of the first things we'll be asking you to do as a new member http://pb.gamerlaunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=39881687&gid=518180#39881687 Feel free to explore the forums while you're there, if you feel so inclined. There's lots of great game information for new and returning players.
