New Players -- Questions to be asked!

[OGTUCKER117]

If you're asking this question you aren't a top 100 player (Wtf does that even mean?). There's *always* a place for good, reliable players in top guilds, the fact that private servers are a revolving door of players makes that even more true.

The vast majority of the population is still in the gruesome leveling stage at the moment so you have nothing to worry about in that regards. If anything, being a month behind is ideal in my opinion because there are really no bottleneck leveling zones (2k people in westfall doing same quests) anymore and youll be able to raid with slightly better geared people to ease your frustrations of wiping endlessly lol

Give the server a shot and join up
P.S if you join alliance ill toss you and your buddies some gold to get started

Retail logs/ranks. And I think that has to be one of the most asinine comments I've ever seen. It doesn't matter how good you are if you're never in a situation to prove it. Otherwise you're just a face in the crowd. The whole point of my original post was to see if people who currently play on this server could offer insight in to the situation.

Getting off to a late start is a disadvantage. I was merely trying to see how much of one we'd be in, nothing more.

Little to no disadvantage. Just have fun leveling and try and hit 60 soon you will be fine. There is -nothing- wrong with raiding MC while other guilds are in BWL, hell BWL doesnt come out for like 6-7 weeks so you got time

Knowing BWL is coming out in 6-7 weeks is a little uplifting. And no, while there is nothing wrong with raiding MC while other guilds are in BWL, being progressive and pushing the envelope is just something we like to do, that's all.

I suppose we'll just have to try our best to earn spots. Here's hoping for the best!

And I’m trying to tell you good players know how to prove their worth even if they aren’t automatically given a raid spot. There are plenty of things you can do on your own to prove yourself as a reliable, resourceful player. How often are you even online? Are you improving your character outside of raids? Run a few instances with members of the guild so show how “elite” you are. If you are as good as you think you are you should be able to at least get yourself an invite to a top end guild to start out as a casual/trial and go from them.

Like I said, if you are as good as you think you are you’d know that highly skilled, reliable players are infinitely more difficult to find than gear. If you can prove yourself as such, even if you started while AQ was on farm you’d be able to get into a good guild.

Despite all that, guilds have only cleared MC a couple of times and BWL is months away. If you’re as dedicated as you seem to indicate your fancy group should be able to easily hit 60 in a week or two and find a suitable guild. Nos is still in it’s infancy.
