World of Warcraft Refugee's

[Badsign]

Hi All!

My wife and i are refugees from a very large raiding guild on the Garona server for WOW, and we have taken up residence on this server. We have been members of the same guild for nearly 8 years. (the guild is Dragon Bane) anyway we discovered that most of the folks we started the guild with were not playing as much and that the folks that were playing the most were not upholding the beliefs we started the guild with so we decided to move on without making a bunch of noise. (We hate drama) So! we are looking for a new home! We need a guild likes to have fun and run raids in that order! we are more people oriented but like to make progress in the game as well, We dont care much for guilds that swear a lot in Chat just to prove they know big boy words and absolutely cannot stand the drama a lot of young guilds have. we are older (thirties) and want some folks to have a lot of fun with.

Do you have a home for us?
If so let us know!
Thanks for reading!!!

Well then, leave that dreaded server and come to Khyber!

Actually great guilds on all the servers. I would PUG for a while and take a note of who you like and try out their guild.

You should check this link out Thelanis Guild List Hit up some of the guilds web pages. Find a few that you think you might like, then look for them in-game. PuG with a few different guilds to find the one that best fits your style.

You actually picked a great time to come over!

usually the experienced players in the larger more experienced raiding guilds are on capped characters running raids and end game content.

But, with the introduction of Monks... I have never seen so many long time players on lowbies at the same time! i love rolling new characters and leveling them... its part of the game i enjoy, but i seem to be an anomaly as most of my guild doesn't, so I am usually leveling by myself in PUGs. However, lately, just when I get my 3 newest lowbies to 13, 15 and 16, NOW they all decide to roll new toons...

Arghh!

I finally get my lowbies to the level they can run with the big boys... and now I have to pug again!



Anyways, to make a short story long, hop in game, roll a cleric, caster, or intimidating tank, and you will be very popular indeed! Make a note of the guild tags of people you have enjoyed running with and seek them out for groups. Add them to your friends list. I am sure that you will find a good fit soon enough. If you rush into one too quickly, you may regret your first choice and spend a bunch of time guild hopping...

Welcome to the game and hope you enjoy it!

Pay no heed to those folks from Kyhber!

You picked a great server, and a great time to join, as Clay stated prior. Rollin' up anything other than a Monk would get you grouped as quickly as you would like it seems.

Welcome!

nice to see some new blood flowing.



BIG WELCOME!!!

I hope you enjoy your stay.......... try the ham.

Just one comment, I think your biggest problem will be choosing the right guild, as almost all are comprised of very fine and mature individuals.

WoW!

Thanks for all the fantastic response! i feel better about this already! makin a lil Sorcerer, hopefully i'll see some of you about!

WoW!

Max out charisma and max ranks in UMD. Get a nice con for hp and maybe a couple points in str just for carrying capacity. Mainly Charisma and con. UMD will let you be able to scroll cleric spells that can heal you and raise your allies. Sorcerers don't get spells that heal themselves unless they are warforged. I would go wizard if you want to go the warforged route though.

Just some hints and tips from an experienced sorc.

I had to smile when I read your post. Knowing where you came from, but here in DDO you pretty much described everybody. Fun, people oriented, no swearing, mature folk pretty much describes everyone in the game. I guess you can pretty much get a feel for the difference just by reading the forums. Welcome to DDO. You are are going to luv it.

[MrWizard]

Hi and welcome.

Get ready for some fun times, but be patient as you learn a new system.
Where wow is a lot of solo, this is the complete opposite.

And the movement and combat is a lot different.
And building your toon is different.

You will miss some of the openness, but rarely ever go on a 'kill 5 beavers' quest!

Just be patient and remember once you get past 8th or 9th level you will be running with more experienced players where as the lower levels can be strange due to trial accounts and such.

and just have fun.

[DoctorWhofan]

I hated the Crossroads for the reasons you stated.

Such language isn't tolarated, however, an occasional naughty word might creep accross the chat, usually do to something unexpected.

Anyhoo, the DDO players are by far the most mature MMO players out there. My Guild is run by my Hubby and I and there is absoultely no drama in it. Why? We are too small to be drama queens. But we tend to get along with all the big guilds and have fun with them.

Regardless on what guild you choose, you came to the right server and the right game!! Again, Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to Thelanis, the best server in DDO.

As per the from page 1 of the DDO forums you can see that Thelanis raids the most and the best, as per winning the server competition for unlocking the new raid and for beating the raids first.

Thelanis is made up of Xoriat, Therask and of course Thelanis, the first 2 being very strong servers that were not as high in population but were strong in quality and loved to raid.

If you like to raid and are top quality gamers, you will very much enjoy this server when you get to the higher levels.

Be wary of the lower levels as we have a lot of players coming from no where, other games and lately other servers to mix in with us, thus making the quality of play at the lower levels a fair bit less than the higher levels.

Would love to run with you, but its challenging because our guild usually zergs most of the levels and gets from 1 - 10 in a few days or so on average and then from there to 16 in another week or 2.

GL and have fun and make sure you continue to come out here and check out the forums and post questions.

[moorewr]

Hey! says hey, welcome to Thelanis.

[Badsign]

Awesome!

Thank you all for the fabulous responses again. if this is any indication of the folks that play here i am sure we will love it here!
I can assure you that none of you would get this many positive responses on any WoW forum, sad as that is to say. On a better note, to Millicent from "ChildrenofBodom" i appreciate any advice i can get, but what is UMD?

Thanks in advance!!
Luvs to all of you!

Welcome to the game, and to the best server in it.

I have to say that the people in DDO are, by in large, the best I've ever met in an online environment. All of my characters are in my siggy below. If you ever have any questions or need anything, please don't hesitate to add them to your Friends List and send me a tell. If I can help, I'd be more than happy to.

Again, welcome to DDO. I really hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
