Guild City Formed!

Well I have booked the plot of land in the purple lotus swamp.

Now its time to grind out a bazillion gold to learn the plans and build the structures.

I chose the architect profession and as such I will be able to construct the buildings nessicary to form our guild city. Problem right now is the plans alone for the first of many many many structures cost 1.25 gold to make. I am going to assume this is something we will be working on once we are lvl 80 or close to it.

I will also need many resources on top of these plans to construct the actual buildings so in your travels and during the use of your own profession if you have spare resources (ANY) spare resources please place them in the guild bank and leave them there for city purposes.

Also after a bit of research it would seem that in order to claim our plot of land, which is a fine plot, nestled right in the corner of the map making defense much easier than normal. We need to raise a Keep.

I have the skills to do this but not the resources. I will get an exact list of what is required to accomplish this and most it tomorrow or later this eve.

If we do nothing else with this city until we all reach lvl 80 other than raise a keep and claim the plot would be fine by me.

I have no problem grinding away for gold or other things that I'm skilled to collect. A shopping list sounds like a great idea. Also, recommendations as to skills the guild needs would be a good idea for me.

I'm very disappointed Nuts. You have crossed over.. Only the strong survive i guess..

Woot Just tell me what ya need!!

It'd be kind of cool if they somehow merged a SimCity type component into this game - so that those more interested in that sort of gameplay could do so whilest other go forth and pillage for resources.

It's actually not that bad. The fighting isn't just point and click and wait, you have to move around and take action... it's a bit more detailed than in WoW. And c'mon... you were always a little jealous of WoW players, they seem to have a lot of fun. I can play AoC for 30 minutes, and then just walk away at anytime and the game doesn't force a bunch of team activity... you can do alot of it on your own.

Plus I was lonely playing BF2 and QuakeWars:ET all by myself.

Holy Christmas, you really do need a bajillion dollars to build a city. Guess I need to get moving on my character so I can start contributing to the effort. :D

Pulled from the AOC Forums

Keep:

Must be built first to allow construction of other buildings

Plan: Two Parchment(75 Silver Each) + Drawing Ink (50 Silver)

150 Ash Tree - 15 Joist
200 SandStone - 20 Brick
50 Silver - 5 Plain Facade
100 Copper - 10 Brace

Think I have 50 sandstone already and will keep saving up.

Glad to see folks interested and thanks for posting the info Brorlis, started my new job yesterday and having to sit through the boredom of training is going to sap my energy and game time...this week anyway, well and getting up at 5:00AM sucks but only because I had teh last month off and day/night all rolled into one.

Anyway I should be on a bit tonight hope to see some faces, and for the love of all that is right get rid of those 6-8 dungeon quest hogging up quest slots.

Grats on the new Job I take it? And maybe with limited game time I can catch up! I'm really liking this game and enjoying taking my time checking out all the new stuff.

I'm not good at this stuff so someone needs to give me direction on what skill to learn. Stone? Gem? Leather? something manly though, okay?

We are going to need sewers. Doesn't seem like we have any yet, so make sure you brush up on your needle work! :kiss:

I will change from mining to tree cutting~!

Thats not really PC now is it? Rocks its time to go green...........

You can have all the gathering skills

After that you can choose 1 profession.

The profession you choose is up to you, but feel free to discuss it amongst each other to try and not double up on stuff if you dont want that.

I am an architect which will cover the building of the city, if another person is interested in this that is fine as well.

As far as the job, thank you! www.go2uti.com Pretty excited to be here atm. Very big company, world wide in fact. We do domestic transport, as well as import and export. One stop freight logistic solutions one phone call or email away.

dbarklow@go2uti.com ;)

I put what materials I had on Arjuna in the guild bank before I stopped playing. I'm thinking I still may play soon. Not sure yet. GL on the keep though

I should be back in a week or so as well. Been in and out of town for work and haven't had a lot of free time.

See you guys this weekend hopefully!

worth getting game to try it out? I was going to when it first came out but was hesitant. Seems like ya'll are having fun, let me know if I should try it out or not.

I'm having a blast playing this game still! Its definitely not going to be a WOW replacement but it is a good distraction.

How can you go wrong with all new Toons, all new content, and a combat style that is unmatchable.

As long as you have a PC thats big enough to run it you definitely won't be disappointed.

And that seems to be a major issue with many AKers that have tried it.

No doubt.. My Rigs above minimum specs and I lag like Ironforge on release day in towns. I do however get decent frame rates in the wilderness. It's not unplayable just a noticeable lag.

The problem isn't the PC itself its the video card. I jumped my PC from 2g memory to 4g Friday to clear some of the lag and it did NOTHING.

My problem....My 6800GT. I figure as long as you run anything thats PCIe and not AGP your good!

This game drove me to upgrade my PC--not too big-time, but now that I did, it runs at a minimum of 30 FPS and looks beautiful. On my old system, it was really a slideshow of smudges bumping into one another, but now that it's actually playable, I'm loving it more and more. I'm thinking of creating a heal class as an alt.

hmmm might have to look into it.

it's a very 'pretty' game. In the big city or in the country side the detail is great. From leaves falling off of trees to birds flying in flocks...the graphics are great (on max settings). If your video card can't handle it though, it get real dull real fast. I went back to the pict city of acheron (sp?) outside of tortage and I was surprised at how easy it was to navigate once I was able to turn up my view distance; previously i ran threw there with everything at the minimums and was constantly getting lost due to the fog.

Yes there are some bug (lack of higher level quests, broken quests, some wall glitching, lack of armor classes having impact (running around nude is almost as usefull as full armor) but it's only been out a few weeks... it'll get updates.
