Hey guys,

I know this topic isn't related to EQ2 so I hope you will forgive me!

For anyone who doesn't know me, I quit EQ2 after beating everything in EoF because the game has sucked for years, and from what I've heard, still sucks now. During my time in EQ2 I was in Ne Plus Ultra on Guk.

Since then I've been looking towards Age of Conan -- seems like a fairly promising game, as they have mentioned that the game will have 20+ raid encounters at launch. Hopefully they won't suck as much as EQ2's (just my opinion).

I've started up a guild with some ex-high end EQ2 raiders, such as Skratch from Disso, Khalan, and so on. We intend to dominate the high-end raid content of AoC as quickly and efficiently as we can.

If you're on the fence about EQ2 or have already quit and are interested in being in possibly the first AoC guild ever to see raid content, shoot me a PM. For right now we're pretty much mainly looking for people who we know, or people who have been in high-end EQ2 guilds so we have at least some rough idea regarding how good you are.

Edit: Oh yeah -- the server names have not been announced yet. When they are, I'll update this post with the server we've chosen.

Thanks! =)

Yay Renaven!

PS ~ If you are playing AoC on a PvE server mega fail on your part

We're definitely going to a PvE server, as PVP seems fairly lame in AoC. Additionally, we weighed the option of PvE and PVP together, and PvE just seems more viable for a guild who cares more about raiding and firsting content. Besides, PvE servers will have PVP on them, just not everywhere.

Yay Reznor! Come play AoC with us? Please?

You do realize that if you play EQ2 on max settings, that it actually looks really, really good, right? Just because most people still seem to run on gumby mode for some reason doesn't mean the game isn't graphically impressive when rendered correctly.

You can run EQ2 on max textures, shaders, and shadows on a box that now costs less than $1500. You don't need a $4-5k power system to do this shit.

$195, CPU: Intel E8400, OC to 4.0Ghz
$150, Mobo: Any DFI or other enthusiast level mobo
$290, RAM: 8GB of PC8500+
$450, GPU: 8800 Ultra
$100, OS: Vista 64-bit

Those are my core specs. Fill in the rest of the parts with whatever crap you want, those are the ones that directly affect graphics performance anyway. I run at 2560x1600 on a 30" monitor and the when doing solo or group stuff the game is fluid with everything maxed. I turn off shadows and particles in raids (it's still fluid with particles on but they're distracting anyway).

Compared to the gumby mode that many of us (myself included) were running on at release (and unfortunately still today, for some people) it's literally like a whole new game when you can turn everything up. It's visually stunning. =)
