I haven't played DDO in quite some time, but I remember enjoying it a fair amount- even with the mostly lonely setting. (I've been in a few guilds over the years but they haven't quite filled the niche I was hoping for- through no fault of their own.)
What I am looking for: Party of 5. (Well... 4+ me.)
I'd like to find 4 people that fit these qualities:
Play the game often. (I tend to play computer games every evening, and sometimes on weekend mornings- with few exceptions.)
Play between 7pm-10pm Central US time. (Weekends would be even better.)
Use Teamspeak or Ventrilo. (I have a personal teamspeak server, but just the ventrilo client.)
Play the game at a casual pace. (Smell the roses a bit, willing to laugh with the failures as much as the successes.)
Play the game for a challenge. (I've made plenty of min/maxed characters that chew through content at light speed...but that necessarily shortens the fun.)
Have access to most or all of the content. (not worried about VIP.. but it does make it easier.)
Willing to roll a character expressly/solely for the purpose of rolling with the "Party of 5."
(Not really interested in Hardcore "Delete on Death" characters that I've heard of... dying hysterically is part of the fun sometimes.)
Since I would be rolling a new character, and not giving it anything from any of my other characters- I'm not bound to any particular server.
Basically to put what I envision into words is five average, if a little designed towards their class, characters that, combined, solve all of the problems we might encounter- taking on dungeons in an organic manner. All while laughing and enjoying the challenge.
I don't even care who is, or if there is a party leader. I just want to have fun. (Not having every dungeon memorized would also be a bonus- I like problem solving.)
(What I expressly don't want is marathon dungeons where people are competing for most KBs, or doing mechanical "dungeon runs.")
So there it is. I haven't played in a long time, and don't currently play. (Though it is up to date) So I'm not really at a loss putting this out there, I hope to get interest in such a party and pick the game back up.
I would prefer to be a druid, whatever role left to be filled- but I can play the part of trapper or whathaveyou. Basically, I'm just so tired of playing effectively alone.
Thoughts? Interest?
