Progression style Advancement
Thu, 2009-07-30 10:34
I'm a long time EQ player, and after a hiatus I've decided to try out this new 51/50 server. So far i'm enjoying it immensely with some friends as we inch our way through levels and content.
I'm curious to know if there are any guilds, alliances, organizations, or other form of groups that are either interested in, or doing already, a tour of all content in EQ. Now that you get a title for pretty much every raid style encounter, I can see a great incentive for people to take their time and raid through each expansion.
Obviously, Kunark mobs, and some Velious mobs are basically going to be down as soon as their up. However with the exception of some 1.0's most of this content is below the level that we start at. It appears that Vex Thal has its merits if for no other reason than the rare clickies, but later on this becomes soloable, or even duoable. It seems that the best place to start for progression based raiding is Planes of Power, starting at the lower tier planes, unlocking all the flags (and free AAs) and finishing with Plane of Time.
I realize that there are guilds who have done this with small raid forces already. Kudos for that. I'm just looking to gauge interest in anyone willing to raid each level content, preferably to gear up the force with raid drops from that expansion, and move on through the content as it comes.
Are there guilds doing this? Is there anyone out there interested in doing this?
I'd be happy to talk more about it, as this server and it's small nuances have breathed new life into EQ for me. Send me a tell anytime.

Re: Progression style Advancement
Well there aren't any other true progression guilds that can even touch us. I would say skillz and numbers wise we are one of the better raiding guilds on this server.
Our goal is to experience all the content that many of us missed out on from luclin up, not to race to 85 with no aa's and kill stuff way too easy for us. We will most likely be leveling to 70 within a week or so, maybe sooner.
I will admit, we aren't very good at exploiting through walls, and stealing level 65 content that a level 65 guild was prepping for.....but we can't all be perfect now can we?

Re: Progression style Advancement
I can't really argue with that. Doesn't change the fact that we're one of the better guilds on this server.....

Re: Progression style Advancement
Addiction is a Top 5 Guild, not THE BEST.
The server isn't even ready for THE BEST.

Re: Progression style Advancement
I left addiction, so I have no reason to lie in their favor, but it is not a shitty guild. Its relatively well-led, and raids are well-executed. Their average age is in the high teens I'd say, but the leaders defiantely seem to be post-18. The vent chat isn't a bunch of drivel like "u suck, no u, no u, no u". The loot system is fair and clearly explained in advance.
They are a bit relentless in their pursuit of raiding success, and they behave like an "uberguild", with all the occasionally jerky-behavior to others that sometimes entails.....
All in all, Addiction is a good guild to join for progression. I dont think they are gonna do all expansions (No ldon or loy being done, for instance, went right from PoP to OoW/GoD), but if you want to raid and actually kill the mobs, its a good guild to join. Lots of others trying progression with 20-25 raiders, and just not pulling it off.

Re: Progression style Advancement
Coinfist is a brand new guild looking for players to help us to start progression. although we want have a set level cap like addiction, we do intend on hitting each era thoroughly and as we progress as a guild head to the next era. We intend on doing epic 1.0 and working on 1.5 soon if anyone interested pls contact Jandaar or Cino for a guild invite.
Check out www.addictguild.com
We're raiding each expansion at the level it was intended for. So atm we're locked at 65. We are however I'd say 2 weeks from beating GoD and raising our cap to level 70. Check us out, we're probably the best raiding guild on the server atm.
