Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hello,

I will try to keep it simple.
But I remember writing quite a huge topic to introduce the idea/concept.

I had an idea back on WoW vanilla (6 months after beta ended) (beta was a blast, right ?!).

My idea was to gather a "holy" team (pally, priest, wawa, arcane mage ONLY).
For the sake of RP (Holy rox).

Sanctity aura FTW.
Mass Pally = Mass blessings + Mass aura.

The idea is to limit our gameplay to holy focused skills only.

Because we wouldn't use the best skills/talents of our classes, we would be less efficient than other guilds.

The goal is to have a mix between RP and classic leveling/dungeon raiding.

Try to achieve as much as we can while sticking to the "concept".

Micro FAQ:
- But leveling as a Priest is way faster using shadow spells/talents
That's the purpose of the guild, you will level up slowly, but it will be more fun because you follow the role playing idea.

- How to make sure a shadow priest won't join the team ?
Role playing means anyone can give away power in the game for better immersion into the lore and for everyone in the team.
I expect most of the players to be low level playing really slowly (10/15h / week).
We won't be checking if someone won't solo using shadow spells.
We will just trust people (holy spirit style).

- Why limit skills/classes ?
Have you ever finished Final Fantasy 7 and tried to replay the game with limitations (no materia challenge, and other variants ?). This is a bit the idea.
Can we down the hardest instances of the game with limited skills ? It will be fun just trying and fail ! ... or succeed !

Obviously this is one of the noobest idea you're probably ever read.

Note: I've never reached lvl 45.

If you want to know more, just ask : )

If I meet about 10 people interested into this idea, we will try to organize something.

Other name ideas :
- Divine Shield
- Sanctuary
- Holy Council

Thanks for reading.

I just signed up for a forum account and am downloading the game client. If the game client runs well on Wine (I use linux) I'm on board with your idea. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss it further.

Hello,


I am very interested in the idea, however I have a few personal questions and suggestions, can we talk in game?


Please whisper my paladin, "ry", at anytime.


Thank you.

Thanks guys for showing interest.

We will contact ingame.

My pally lvl17 is Thommas.

See you.

PS: some insights > http://forums.elitistjerks.com/topic/11 ... viability/

Right now I'm on a dwarf warrior in a really good guild. Despite the difficulty of levelling an undergeared warrior, especially a dwarf (I have no gold hence no gear), I'm enjoying it and want to stick with it a bit more.

The link you posted to a raiding discussion kind of put me off. I've never played Vanilla before and am enjoying the questing content right now, and want to keep enjoying it slowly until I've experienced it all. If your idea is to rush to level cap as quickly as possible and then start raiding then I'm not as interested as I was before. Maybe later, when I get bored of quest levelling, but not until then. I'll get back to you.

"The link you posted to a raiding discussion kind of put me off."
This link was more to display how low priest holy dps is ... and despite that it sucks, it's exactly the kind of team I want to build !

I expect the guild to be almost 100% between lvl 1 and 20/30.
In fact it would be nice to level up these holy characters together.

Raiding will be OK for instances like deadmines and epic fail for the hardest ones.
But we dont need to go there.

I believe there is enough difficulty questing together especially with our holy handicap ... aka holy ROX FTW

Again, unless I meet at least 10 people and we agree on some core ideas for this team, Im not moving forward on this.

Thanks for your answer.
