Prydwen - US community

I'm leaning slightly towards Mid Merlin, but waiting to see what Sharkith & others decide before reactivating my US accounts. It would be nice if people going yank-side could all end up in the same server/realm/guild & more or less level together / arte hunt together / do MLs together ... would make the pain a lot more bearable if we could organise this well & do it more or less together

The one thing against US servers is the lack of community.

That saying Xest always said that you get to know peeps in game

but we're kinda used to the easy forum way of knowing peeps. Have a read on the VN Boards (as thats where the main stuff is) to see if youd like that kinda commuinity.

Agree, difficulty is a few of us already on US are already split - some are on Gaheris as mids so probably don't want to play Mid elsewhere, me and the rest of Ascending Dawn are on Alb/Merlin but Penlid is Mid/Merlin. I'd really like to play with a lot of the Pryd people again but I don't know how easy that'll be to coordinate and besides I think most would rather kill me

Well

Could choose a server that no one plays on. To play hibside

And agree to play it at least once or something per week.
Also Xest you had a forum didnt you? Might be worth coordinating an effort there unless peeps want us to rethink the idea of having one here (should many more peeps barring the 4 who have moved - move there)

How about the RP cluster Tintagel?
Think I have some mid-level Mids on Percival ...
On the other hand, they have some people who report you for name-violations even if you use the random-name-generator, & I hear it isn't fun suddenly having your name changed at L50 ML10 & high-RR.

Yeah RP servers don't seem too great, basically the only thing they enforce is names, attitude problems are still just as bad and as you say even some names that seem fine get name nerfed, they just don't offer anything better than the normal servers really. Forced roleplaying is limited to public channels only - /say, /broadcast and that's about it, alliance, bgs, groups, chatgroups, guilds are all classed as private channels so roleplay isn't enforced there.

true, but then VN is similar to FH (not pryd.net which has 99% only ever been used by "mature" hibby's!, VN imo is more readable than FH!

We were lucky to have pryd.net from the start, as this was setup by a member of the hib community many moons ago

Ive chose Mid/Merlin in the end, but will change if most peeps from here go elsewhere! :-)
