Join our discord and get ready for the Mischief! https://discord.gg/ucsZaYP Raid times: We raid: Sunday, Monday and Wednesday at 7 pm CET to 10 pm CET (during patch weeks we raid Thursdays instead of Wednesdays), when an expansion is on farm we will cut down to Sundays and Mondays for official raids. What can you expect? We will clear content in era, but will not bat phone you while you are eating dinner with your family or out doing you (or your friends)! ;D We have a long track record on previous servers of regularly lottoing out the guildbank and sharing the guild funds with the guild via Krono lottos. We believe, as with RL and work, that making it easier for people to stay honest and nice is the best way to go about things in EQ as well. Having an honest and good leadership that manages the wealth of the guild fairly to benefit every member, will be even more important on this server than any other! Becoming a member: To become a member you need to be able to play at least 3 characters on 3 different computers at one time. At least 1 of the 3 characters has to a be a healer class (cle, druid or shaman), if you box more then 3, one of your first 4 characters has to be a bard. After 4 characters for every 6 characters you play (full group), there needs to be at least 1 bard and 1 healer class in each group. Boxing: The reason why we set the minimum number at 3 characters is because it’s pretty manageable for most people, also it opens up for teaming up to make groups, and with 3 characters you can at least get stuff done if you cannot find a group. We have been boxing legitimately under truebox for years, we will provide resources on hotbuttons for classes, hardware setup and more for our members, to help them legitimately truebox on the server. DKP: Box’s will earn their own DKP when they attend raids, but they cannot bid more than 20 dkp against a main. You need 30% raid attendance (RA30) to be able to bid on raids. Krono lottoes: The guild bank will be lottoed out from time to time on raids, with krono lottoes, the Kronos will be lottoed at a flat rate of 20 dkp (may change) were you bid with your raid attendance over the last 30 days (RA30), if there are any ties, RA 60/90 will be used. You can not buy more then 1 Krono before everyone who has bid has won at least one, the same goes for a second or third as well. Loot rules: Check out our web page for the full list (they may get updated as we learn more about the server): http://eq-avengers.com/ Here are some tidbits: You can only upgrade a slot on a character 1 time per expansion. The only exceptions is for mains, they can upgrade as many times as they want, but their old items that gets replaced goes back to the guild and in to a new lotto with a min bid equal to what they paid for the item originally. If no one is willing to pay the same or more for it, the item will go to the guildbank for KR lottoes. Members can sell their raid item on the open market once they get an upgrade for that slot in the next expansion (raid or group item). Anyone who sells raid items in era, will be removed from the guild, officers will pay attention to this, but all members are encouraged to help each other stay honest. If you are removed from the guild for this offence you can reapply to the guild (with a loss of all DKP), but it will be at the discretion of the officers and members. Any item that is not bid on during a raid, will go to the guild bank and sold for guild funds. Guild funds will regularly be redistributed back to the guild via Krono lottoes. Epic items, spells and quest items will be handed out to the guild based on attendance, to best benefit the guild. Discord: You are required to use it and to be able to listen to raid instructions, but it is not required that you speak in discord. Some boxing tips for the new server (more will be available to guild members) Below you can see an example of a legitimate 12 box truebox setup. The small PC’s you see on the desk are Intel NUC NUC6CAYH Celeron J3455 with 8 gig memory and 120 gb SSD, that is all you need to run EQ. 4 of the 6 keyboard/mouses and screens are connected to KVM switches (ATEN CS84U 4-port PS/2-USB KVM Switch), these are passive, so they do not need their own power supply and thereby also produce less heat, this model is also very fast for switching between computers. The last 2 screens/keyboards and mousses are dedicated to your main tank and healer (PC's), for faster reaction times. The main things you need to think about when boxing on a truebox server is having good hotbuttons in the same place on your hotbar on each character. For example make a hot button to assist, with a command to send in a pet and cast a nuke with a delay or to debuff the mob. That way you can quickly cycle through your computers on the KVM switches hitting the same button to “start up” each character. Having a hotbutton dedicated to make a box follow your main, is also great for avoiding trains, also if a mob is not snared and runs, have your box’s follow your main and just make sure the mob is between your main and the melee box’s on /follow and they will all beat the mob down Also when camping stuff, place all your melee box’s a tiny bit out from the wall in a location mobs naturally path to. When you pull, run past your melees, to the wall, sit down and wait for the mob to come and hit you, that way the mobs come all the way in to camp, if you don’t have a bard song/heal/buff pull aggro off you, this will also pull big pulls with several mobs to the location you want. You’ll find more info on boxing in our members section, so come join us If you want to be part of the DKP, raidleader, news or officer team, please post in the appropriate channels on discord! PS: If they announce a box friendly version of this server, we will move there so that we can spend less time micromanaging our box’s and more time enjoying the game
You are correct! Will make a new post next week with more info and responses to all the questions that have come in and some clarifications. We already have several people who will play 2 characters, so there will be plenty of people to group with if you do not need the flexibility of playing 6 characters to be able to afk randomly for 30 min while playing, to take care of the kids or do work stuff. If you do however need the flexibility of playing 6 characters, we will do our best to help you set up an efficient setup so that you can get the most enjoyment out of the game as possible
