Hello all,
After playing a bunch this weekend I've decided I'm going to continue with DDO after my free week ends. The game appears to have advanced a lot since I first played it right after release and I like everything I've seen (not to mention that my new computer runs it all nice and fast with the high quality graphics settings on).
My new main character is a 4th level cleric. Back after DDO was released I played for a couple of months and hit 9th level as a cleric, but when I returned during this free week I decided to reroll as so much has changed and I didn't like my old build. Having equipment and coins to hand down to the "new me" though has helped a lot. I'm not looking for hand-outs or anything of the sort from a guild... just good folks to team up with at my level and higher... I really dislike the random nature of pick-up-groups (especially with the added cost to the cleric for healing wands that seems to result from a group of players that haven't learned how to play together well) and based on my past experience I know that joining a guild usually leads to a much more enjoyable time online for me.
As for what I'm looking for in a guild:
- I'd like to join a larger guild... the more members it has the easier it will be to find folks to team up with and to give advice as I climb back up in levels.
- I'd prefer the guild have some lower level folks, too, in addition to higher level folks. I'm still only 4th level but know that I'll be moving up relatively quickly with how often I play.
- I typically play between about 9pm and 1am EDT, most nights, and would be looking for a guild with plenty of members on during those hours.
- I'm a mature player (40+) for whom family comes first (which means on rare occasions I may have to take a break if one of my kids wakes up) and would prefer joining a guild with similar views on real life vs DDO.
Please let me know if your guild is recruiting and thinks I might be an asset while at the same time meeting some of my own desires.
Thanks very much,
Tigsen
