Today after getting my Stein of Moggok and messing with that I decide to put a little time in on my monk.

Another monk runs by in EC with some odd weapons I've never seen before. I send a tell asking what they are, he turns around and shows them to me in trade.

Hand to Hand : 9dmg 19 dly

"Wow I wish I had those... Hehehe, I'm a poor monk"
Him "You want some"
Me "Really?"
Him "Yeah, follow me I get some off of my main from the bank."
Me "Cool!"

After that he invites me to his guild (Wonderlust). I'm just kinda stunned that I got into a guild that had 4 lvl 50 guys and twinked. Mostly because my monk is only lvl 4. Hehehe.

Nice people out there.

The guild name is "Wanderlust" and it's my guild.

Was a founding member and an officer till I had to delete my account and move my character(-name) and his stuff over to a friends account.

Perhaps I'll log in tomorrow to say hello. =)

I could understand that. I don't care much about Eternal Grace though. Just a bunch of Newbie Vah Shir running around. (My Pally's guild)

Consider the advantages of being unguilded. Training half of SolB without having anyone report your druid butt to your guild leader.

Boy I enjoy being unguilded.

I recently started playing EQ again after 'bout six months of doing other things. After I'd been on a while I noticed that the guild I was in was unusually quiet.

After asking around and /who guild and all that stuff, I've found that I'm the LAST person in a dead guild. YAY ME!

All the 50+ people tell me, "Im going on a guild raid/epic raid"
Therefore they destroyed all their stuff to get hyped up for the raid

Guildless = fun.

I've done perfectly well without a guild past 40, Dont see whats the problem.

However, I cheat. I have a level 60 paladin friend (Along with his newly level 60 epic weilding twink Cleric) at my disposal. Maybe sometime this friggin YEAR I can convince him to do a MM raid to finally get my hilt, and have a flaming pigsticker...

Er.. Damn mini rants. Sorry.

Guilds are VERY helpful if you enjoy raiding, makes finding raid groups FAR easier.

Also, if you are ina guild with a good rep, it helps in other ways. For example, if you join a guild thats well liked, you may find getting in groups easier, and find the amount of people you can raid with greatly expanded.

I dont dislike raids.. Its that whole "waiting to do nothing for another five minutes while the monk gets killed for the 20th time pulling a mob that I could do in five minutes" thing that urks me.

Besides. I dont like groups. At all. Just one of those things with me, I suppose.

But considering I've been on the server since .. well, Everyone, pretty much all the good "0ld sk00l" players know and respect me, even if I am a bit goofy at times. Sometimes I'll crash the Kael zone and make fun of people for the heck of it.

One thing I do want: More PoF raids. I miss that place, it was kewl. Blood raining and everything.. (Half the time I'm the only one to make it to north wall unscathed.)

Agreed. If your guild has a good rep, so do you automatically if someone doesn't know anything about you (of course the same is true for a guild with a bad rep...). Its quite amuzing how people always assume my level 14 baby rogue is always the group leader, simply because the < Dawntreaders > tag is floating above her head.

Guilds aren't just good for raid groups tho, they can be excellent sources of normal exp groups. I think I'm a bit spoiled now even, I haven't gone LFGing via /shout or /ooc in a long, long time... I just find a guild exp group that has an opening.

I belong to WoLF. Great guild.
Personally, My guildmates are my best friends, tho I've never met any of them IRL. It is NICE to have freinds around when you die in the Tower of Frozen Shadows and cannot get back in.

H2H weapons were conceived of long ago, but never actually implemented until Luclin. All can be used by both beastlords and monks. However, since the dmg/dly ratio on a beastlords empty fists is fixed, and with monks they constantly go up, beastlords will get more mileage out of them than monks will. But monks will certainly find them useful, if the dmg/dly ration is better then their fists at their level, which can often be true if the monk is of a relatively low level or it's one of the higher quality h2h weapons out there.

Beastlords have good h2h skills... have the same cap as monks do, I think (not 100% sure on thisd, they might be slightly lower, but I know for a fact that no class besides monks has a higher cap). In fact, nobody can beat beastlords hand to hand fighting skills, except for monks. They're the only class that can dual wield fists besides monks (monks can do this at lvl 1, but beastlords can't do it until 17).

There's not a general consensus about their group role yet... although the groups I've been in with beastlords, they're usually a tank, sometimes even a puller.

Anywho... you may disagree with this, but these are just my opinions based on what I've observed beastlords doing. There are already several beastlords in their 40's, even a few in their 50's now... be interesting to see what the high-end game for a beastlord is like, see what they do on raids, that's probably what will give a better definition of their class...

As for guilds, yes you can be unguilded, but for me I wouldn't like going without the support of a guild. Besides raids and groups, my guild allows me to easily find experienced players to talk to for advice, and also people who can help me in difficult situations. I've pretty much avoiding soloing any of my characters once they've past level 9... not that I can't do it, but I don't enjoy it that much (something I find ironic, since in RL I'm quite a loner). I usually don't group with guildmates often anyway, but it's still nice having that support.

And it means more to have people in my guild congratulate me on finishing a quest or gaining a level than complete strangers!
