Good evening all. The post title says it all, but first let me introduce myself. I'm a 37 year old father of 4 (meant to have 2, but the second time around we had spontaneous triplets). I live in CT and started playing DDO just after Thanksgiving 09. Prior to mid 2005, I was an avid player of MMORPGs. I played EQ for years (7th Hammer server, guild was Convergence), SWG (before they nerfed the game and ruined it, played on Bloodfin server, guild was BEG) and also played EQ2 until I had my first kid. I also played DnD red box (started 25 years ago), blue box, Advanced, 2Ed, and am still playing weekly 3.5ed with some buddies.
I have recently decided to get back into online gaming, so I started DDO. I've finally figured out this kid/work/gaming balance and am looking for a guild for my 9th level fighter. I'm not looking for some UBER raiding guild, although I'm not opposed to raiding in general...I just cant make it a commitment with my life schedule. I have a 9th level fighter and tend to get frustrated with soloing all of the time. My brother also plays a 9th level ranger/thief and my buddy plays a 9th level monkey. We tend to group up but struggle with a lack of a healer. The hirelings just don't cut it at times.
We're looking for a casual guild...people who like to group up and have fun, people who are roughly our age and have similar goals. Looking to avoid uber goobers, l33t speech, constatnt raiding requirements. Looking to have a good time, grouping, making the most of the game.
If you are in a guild like this and are recruiting, or you know of a guild that might suit me, please reply. Thanks in advance.
