It's Official! Project Old School Under Way on the US Side

Hey all!

I posted a topic a few weeks back about the possibility of starting up a guild of alts to play the game oldschool, roughly up through chapter 2.

I know the thread itself didn't get a lot of feedback but I have gotten quite a few pms, emails, and in game whispers asking me if I would go ahead and do it because people were interested to give it a go! So I've done it. I've went ahead and formed the guild on Reni and we would love it if you guys came and gave it a shot. The next few days will probab;y be slow as I track down all of those people who sent me messages and we start to grow in size.

The main goal of this guild is to play the game with a group of other people as though it were still chapter 2 and hopefully, someday be able to clear HoS, ZS, and DL together using only lvl 55 chars, 55 gear, stats from 55 gear or less, no leveling in the Coast of Opportunity, no diamonds, etc. It's just a fun side project for people who wish to go back and play some of the old content that everyone seems to say they love and miss.

We look forward to running all stuff from 1 to 55 and just making new friendships, no pressure to rush through things or be a power gamer. And if you already have a main endgame toon as I, it's like a fun fresh new start, where people will have no idea who you are, unless of course you choose to tell them.

If it sounds even remotely interesting, create a new toon and pm Monkers on Reni to get an invite. I am so excited to see that this project may go somewhere, as I see others start to take interest.

Thanks for your time and have fun RoMming it up out there!

Thanks for the support RoMage!

So far so good, everyone is having a blast and as everyone starts to get to the same point, we are hoping to get to have some fun running Forsaken Abbey a few times this weekend. It's a nice slow pace but we having a great time.

Will post pictures of the group that runs FA this weekend! :)

If anyone is still interested, we really aren't too far along and would LOVE to have new people join! Just whisper me, Monkers in game or ask in silverspring zone chat, there's bound to be at least someone on

I'm actually interested in this because rom has become somewhat boring for me lately. I'll try to get ahold of you in game if I can.

You should actually just post the rules in the thread. That would be helpful

Hey guys!

The guild name is "Oldschool" (Creative, I know)

And yeah, Asphodelix had it about right there. I can post more rules in the main post in a bit but really it's not really a dictatorship, I just wanted to give people a place where they can play older content with other people and have fun.

I'll be in game in about 3 hours from now, noon PST, so just whisp me if you wanna talk more about it :)

We did it!!!

We cleared Forsaken Abbey for the first time tonight, had a blast doing it, Ancelon took us 10 minutes. Here's the group! Sorry for the picture quality, I even had to crop it because the file size was just too big.

It may or may not be, I haven't heard about it. However, I am doing the same thing, also on Reni! My ambitions were not as great as this group's. I simply wanted to go through the game the long way without power-leveling or COO (even getting elites the old way!). I'm doing this with my partner, and we just created a new guild called Heartless. If you would like you join the guild and join us in questing, PM me in game or send me a mail! My name is Draden, and my partner's name is Simox. :) We are currently 15/15, so we're not that far in! I hope to see you in-game. :)

Hey, Im a returning player looking to have a little more fun than trying to race end game for the big end game instances. Also meet a cool bunch of guys who would rather play the game at a more casual level. Just wondering if the old school guilds were up and running?

Thanks in advance :)

I'm in. I have been wanting this for a long time now and i'm glad that there is a guild out there now. I may have more people that want to join because I still play other games with all my old ROM buddies. (we reminisce about chapter 1 and 2) We left because it was too expensive to play with diamonds and the gear demands. Ill try and get on later today and update the game. I'll hope to join sometime over winter break when I have time.
