Who are we? A group of like minded individuals that want to progress through each expansion at our own pace. We started today, 11/20/14 and looking to meet some new people. What are our goals? Find one or two more people that would be willing to create new characters on TEST server to join us. TEST was chosen because its all access to content. Progression: There is a list of specific targets that must be completed prior to moving expansions, more in depth then the progression server as they were chosen based on Lore, and not difficulty. These still however do include some of the basic progression targets from other servers. What are our rules? Newly created characters only, no help from outside or power-leveling or receiving buffs from others. If you receive buffs, you must remove them immediately. No character copies from other servers No boxing, no exceptions. We want to create a small group atmosphere that is dependent on each other. Mercs are allowed however to help when other group members are unavailable. You may /testbuff to 25, and use the starter gear that you are provided with for your character as it is on-par with a level 25 character. No out of era gear is allowed on your character at any time. The only exception is the above with the /testbuff gear that is given when you create your character. You may not enter zones that are out of era, our current content is original Trilogy. This includes all zones in Original/Kunark/Velious. Veteran Rewards & Claims are allowed, with the restriction that mounts, familiars, loyalty tokens etc will not be used at any time. Any item that gives you an out of era specific advantage over content is not. You may use xp & movement speed potions from claims as you normally would. Infusion of the Faithful, expedient recovery etc will be decided upon with a group vote when it is necessary. Plane of Knowledge may be used for vendoring, and porting to in era content. This helps since we do not allow boxes. This is subject to change As with any rules, they are subject to change or be altered as we progress through content so things do not become stagnant or trivial. If you are interested in joining us please respond here with your character name, or send me a PM. Cobretti - ShadowKnight of Test
Now this one rule s just terrible. Buffs have always been a part of the game, even in Trilogy and should be allowed/expected. I remember being a noob in Kelethin, fresh off the tree and a druid ran by and buffed me with skin and damage shield. Don't punish your players by restricting a normal mechanic. (restrict the buffs to in era buffs, by all means, but don't restrict to NO buffs).
it takes less then 6 hours to get to 51 without out of era buffs, there is no reason to use any buffs except those from our group of people. That is the concept, we are working on doing things ourselves and it has worked perfectly thus far
