Giant in the Playground Warhammer Online Order Guild

Vazzaroth · 09-11-2008, 01:27 PM

This is a thread for Discussion, setting up, and running the Order Guild for Giant in the Playground players.

The Guild will be on the Caledor server, and it looks like it will be led by me. I'll found it with a character with the same name I have here.

Firstly... what name do we want, guys?

Crispy Dave · 09-11-2008, 01:29 PM

"giants in/from the playground" thats my idea of what the guild name should be or maybe "order of the stick"

Vazzaroth · 09-11-2008, 01:32 PM

Giants from the Playground I like, but Order of the Stick is great in it's own way...

I think Order of the Stick would be best. More people would recognize that if they are casual fans of the comic. Plus it's the organization our fan-forums are based around anyway!

sounds good i'll creat a charicter in the head start to enter but probley wont activate my acount time till I upgrade my computer

Prophaniti · 09-11-2008, 01:58 PM

I'm in. Caledor sounds fine, that's actually the server I started all my beta Order characters on.

Don't know exactly what my main will be yet, still trying them out, but I'm leaning heavily toward War Priest. I'll post it when I set up for the Headstart.

Krrth · 09-11-2008, 02:14 PM

Sounds like a plan. I think I'll run a swordmaster as main.

Crispy Dave · 09-11-2008, 02:16 PM

my name will probley be crispydave as fun as it was to be lilboylover in beta and i'll be a engineer

Dragor · 09-11-2008, 02:47 PM

Hey guys. *waves* I'm hopefully going to be getting the game on launch, so I hope to see you there.

I'm going to be a Bright Wizard.

Name of the guild? I'm not fussy, really. Something to identify us with the forums. So either a spin-off of Giant in the Playground or something Warhammer-like making the initials. Gork in the Playground?

No! Is' Mork in da Playground ya stoopid git!

Wot? Get 'im!

*cue fighting*

mabey for the destruction guild

Q: Are all the servers going to be set so you can have only Dest OR Order chars? I can't find it in any of the FAQs, but then I haven't been looking too hard. If they're not going to be that way, it'd be cool to have both a Dest and Order guild on the same server, cuz I wants to play me some Orks!

BTW: Orks should totally have been their own faction... When it comes to Chaos vs anything, I'll side against Chaos in a heartbeat, but...
The Waaagh!!! calls to me...

Nah sorry. Only one faction per server.

I was the exact same way, but then I grew to love DEs.

Still don't particularly like any of the Chaos classes.

Kraggi · 09-12-2008, 12:37 AM

Once I get my preordered copy I'll either be making Dwarf engineer named Kraggi or a Witch Hunter with some cheezey Germanic name, probably the Dwarf though.

Vazzaroth · 09-12-2008, 01:10 AM

They put a server list up.

The one I like wasn't on there...

What kind do we want?

Not a Open PvP one is all I request.

Edit: I like Drakwald, because I actually know what that is.

Zeb The Troll · 09-12-2008, 02:29 AM

I think Monolith is an appropriate server name for a GitP guild, no?

I also would like to play on a Core ruleset server. My 2c.

Same here. I can tolerate the Chosen and Zealots, but I don't actually like any of 'em like I do order.

SuperMuldoon · 09-12-2008, 09:28 AM

I would like to join the guild! I will probably have a Swordmaster as my main.

Crispy Dave · 09-12-2008, 01:01 PM

lets do a core server I dont care what one whatever you pick is fine

stm177 · 09-13-2008, 12:59 AM

If you get something set up, I'll try and track you guys down once I buy the game.

I'm pretty busy with work lately, but wintertime is coming, so I'll be staying home more soon.

Zeb The Troll · 09-13-2008, 10:24 PM

Actually, Monolith isn't apparently going to be available at head start tomorrow, so let's do Sylvania instead. At least, that's my vote and where I'm going to suggest that my family go so that I can play with them since nothing's been set in stone here.

Alarra · 09-13-2008, 10:24 PM

Would it be possible to start it on one of the servers that is available during the collector's edition headstart play? There's only 5 of them and Caledor isn't one of them. That way, those of us that are in that, won't have to worry about switching to a different server once things go live.

I would recommend Sylvania. And that is where I will be making my characters tomorrow.

Krrth · 09-13-2008, 11:08 PM

I have absolutely no preference as to which server. I didn't get the collectors' edition, so I will not be able to get started until Tuesday. I'll make characters then.

Crispy Dave · 09-14-2008, 01:24 AM

i guess sylvania is the server that seems to be going for us so lets all make charicters there as soon as possible(im thinkin it may fill up). I'll roll a dwarf engineer named crispydave

Myatar_Panwar · 09-14-2008, 03:32 AM

I won't be able to be in your guys' guild (been signed up to roll with PA's Candymancer's for awhile now), but you should know that Sylvania will be one of the many homes of the Goon Squad ( a guild infamous for ass-hatery and sheer numbers. On Todbringer alone, I believe there were 5-7 Goon guilds, as the cap was set to 100 during this time).

Point is, they arn't very pleasant to play against. Sure, they arn't the best players as far as I've seen, but when they outnumber you 4-1, it doesn't matter.

They will also be on Skull Throne and Red Eye Mountain (Order guild here though) apparently.

Just a heads up.

Zeb The Troll · 09-14-2008, 04:22 AM

I'm not afraid of the Goon Squad. There are jerks everywhere, sometimes they unite, sometimes they unite under a banner others have heard of. Meh, whatever. I'm going to be playing Order on Sylvania and Destruction on Skull Throne and Goons be damned.

Alarra · 09-14-2008, 04:29 AM

And frankly, the goons aren't that bad. I mean, yes...they have gotten themselves a reputation, but in my experience it's mostly talk and the members themselves are actually not bad people, for the most part anyway. There are some jerks, but most guilds have those.

I was a member of a goon WoW guild for awhile, and actually, until it merged with a few other guilds and got huge and obnoxious, it was the funnest guild I was ever a part of. We did a lot of rp events and there were some really great people.

Anyway, to summarize, don't knock the goons just based on their mostly unearned reputation, especially considering that we don't even know the composition of players that will make up the guilds playing this game. They could be great.

And besides, servers are big. Even if they are jerks, we probably won't interact with them much.

Myatar_Panwar · 09-14-2008, 04:46 AM

Possibly, and I really can't talk about the guild's player base. I've never actually played with them or anything.

I can just see, as well as many others, that the Goons can be a problem in a game like WAR. If WAR is the economy, then the Goons are a Monopoly. Hundreds of people in a single guild is a little crazy. And in WAR, I'm sure they wouldn't have much of a problem having 8 groups of 50 or so to go and raid each keep in T2. Even 24 would be enough to get through a minorly player defended keep.

It might not be that bad, just personally don't want to have to deal with them.

Edit: Also, if you have a ton of people you know rolling on that server, I could defiantly see not wanting to change it.

SmartAlec · 09-14-2008, 09:11 AM

This is for US servers, right?

True story: The Drak Wald was originally the Darkwald, but was so named because of a spelling mistake that Richard Halliwell thought was hilarious. He was laughing about 'Drak Forests' for days, and it was kept in.

Dragor · 09-14-2008, 10:17 AM

Dang it. I always forget that nearly all GitP guilds formed are US based.

Destro_Yersul · 09-14-2008, 10:36 AM

I'll sign up for this. Think I might go with Empire, either a Warrior Priest or a Bright Wizard. I've got the collector's edition head-start as well...
