I don't know if anyone got around to making an in-game one, but I would suggest a twofold system by making a GitP RotMG (acronyms EVERYWHERE) Steam group. It makes it easy to arrange guild-wide play times, servers, getting invites to people who want to join, etc.

Thoughts on names, if others agree on the idea. I was thinking something simple like combining the two names in some form.

Well, I just also hit 700 fame. So the race is on to see who can hit 1000. Now if only I could stop dying...

Name:
Giants of the Realm?
Playground of the Mad God?


Also. I do not have steam.

That can be solved with a simple travel to here. Steam can be completely browser based, I was just suggesting it for it's convenient group/who's online feature stuffs, as well as it's events/announcements feature.

I vote for Playground of the Mad God, personally.

What do you run on? As Steam works for both Windows and Mac now. Linux? Also I was just suggesting it was possible to run steam in a browser and do group functions strictly through that.

Linux indeed

Its nice besides the fact that most things aren't made for it. But if Steam runs on a browser, that'd be fine. Also, I just got my first potion from one of the gods! Speed potion. I'll save it for later, I'm thinking of being the group's sorcerer, cleric, or Mystic. We'll see.

I have a feeling It'd be nice to play with people consistantly, so we share the loot based on class. Rather than who grabs it first

Is is me or is knight just a pathetic speed bump on they way to paladin and trickster? Archer is pretty bad too, for me at least.

I guess I'll 20 the mystic-sorcerer-trickster trio before I solidify any opinions on them, but I'm not very impressed yet. My personal favourites seem to be necromancer, huntress, and priest so far.

Loot sharing is always better than gank-o-loot systems.

Archer is actually pretty solid. I don't know about Knight, but the melee classes can be pretty good because they have a TON more hp and armor and can fight bosses for longer and are closer to the loot drops. They also have good damage.

Yea I feel your pain. The knight can be an excellent boss killer with their ability to stun enemies and their potential to have the highest defense in game. Unfortunately, without farming status potions to get that high defense, they're fairly useless since they won't be able to get close to bosses without it, and their close range fighting style makes them difficult to use while fighting everyday monsters, especially once you get to the God lands.

As for archers... they're also good against certain bosses that move about (assuming you can actually use their special effectively) though the general belief is the knight is better.

Mystics are good when you wish to save yourself/group from swarms of enemies, and can stun the minions of the boss monsters. Useful when fighting the Sphinx, the Cube God, or Oryx himself. Sorcerers aren't great, but their ability to land a guaranteed hit on many monsters at once increase their chances of getting loot in a crowd. Tricksters suck unequivocally but some do enjoy the challenge.

I personaly hope that Tricksters get some sort of overhaul. I mean, why not something like, say, temporarily causing your bullets to slow down as you keep shooting and then they speed up to unavoidable velocity at once?

I keep dying at level 10 because I solo, the last time I partied, they took the loot

Its kinda frustrating that there isn't a loot share feature, and there isn't currency because that makes trade very hard.

Oh I hope so, especially since latest thing they gave that class is even worse than what they already have.

Well we do have soulbound items. Basically, if you get a higher quality drop that comes in purple, blue, and white bags, only you can see or pick up the loot. And I've found you get more drops if you work with a small group of people, so the game does encourage some teamwork. But unfortunately, this really only applies to the god land players.

There is a currency of shorts that's based on the status boosting pots but yea, once again that only helps out the ones who regularly fight in the godlands.

Yeah, I can't get good enough equipment to go in the godlands because I get items for other classes, which I can't trade because there is no currency, which I can't get because I can't go in the godlands. The only way out of the loop is to get lucky on a drop. Even my soulbound loot has been dissapointing lately.

There is a way to get the items you'd need... for free even. But, it is somewhat risky.

If you play on the USMidWest server, and you enter a realm that's full, you'll find that there tends to be large groups of level 20 players in the god lands that quickly mow down anything in their path (unofficially they're called god land trains). If you stick around them, you'll eventually (within 5-30 minutes) be given items that'll make you strong enough for that area. Folks in that area also can't sell most of their drops so they just toss it or give it someone who needs it. The large group will act as human shields which should protect a player from the worst of the god lands.

Just hit 900 fame, getting close. I need to make sure nobody else set up the guild first however.

I will confess: I did not know one could telaport until a week into playing it. Godland trains a great, even more so if a dungon drops.

I believe we never got that guild set up. I'll probably join your guild once I inevitably pick this game up again.
