Greetings and a question about guilds

[Ali Akabba]

Hello to all!

I'm a newcomer to the shores of FRC, and I very much enjoyed what I've seen so far. I like to think of myself as an RP-oriented player (if that corresponds to the truth is a whole different matter), although I admit that on the first days I logged on I explored a little bit around Isinhold and re-spawned a couple of times, in order to have a first impression - to catch a glimpse of the server's style, so to speak. It takes some time to get to know people and so on, so I guess that opportunities for good RP will come naturally.

I'm used to playing on another server where characters stop receiving combat XP after the 6th level, dead PCs must have their bodies carried to a priest by their friends and get raised, otherwise death is permanent, there are virtually no magical items around, and someone, say, at level 12 is a really high-level character. So I came to FRC to satisfy my frustrated lust for levels and items! Er... no, not really - just kidding. What I'm trying to say is that I truly appreciate the emphasis on RP that I've encountered reading through this forum.

But I actually do have a question regarding the guilds, so here it goes: where do I find some specific information about joining them? I would like to know if there are minimum level requirements, alignment or racial restrictions, and if there are people who should be sought IC to discuss the joining process. And it would be nice to be able to read something about each guild's purposes. I looked over the forum and learned a few things, like, for example, that a player can have only one PC in any guild at a time, but I didn't find the information described above. So, if someone showed me where to find it, I would appreciate it a lot. I'm more interested in the Purple Dragons, to say the truth, but I would enjoy to learn about the others too.

Welcome to the server. We aren't quite as hardcore as that other server you mentioned, but we do put A LOT of emphasis on RP.

As for the guilds, I can't speak for any of the others, but generally there aren't any requirements other than being invited while in the game. Usually, there is extensive RP before you are initiated (at least for my guild). As for a description of the guilds, I don't want to give too much away, but the Shadows Edge is geared towards a character that lacks certain morals/values and enjoys making a bit of money. I won't mention any of the other guilds cause that isn't my place.

Look around in game and I am sure you will find more information. Enjoy

Welcome to the server!

As far as the Purple Dragons go, we require extensive roleplay as well. They are primarily members of the Royal Corps of Monster Hunters, but their secondary duty is as law officers of the realm. So we also look for those players who have shown by thier play that they are responsible in thier dealings with others, since they will be handling whatever criminal offenses may occur. They act as "PC Guards", if no DM is available to to play the part of the local PDK. Membership is by invitation only, and after a review by the DM Staff. However, anyone who is interested in joining the PDK, can talk to any of the PC PDKs in game and in character to express thier interest. (Those of evil alignment need not apply. )

Harpers

Like the other guilds, to become a Harper is through role-play and invitation only. The best thing to do is let it “quietly” be known in game that you are interested in meeting the Harpers. You will not find them, but they will find you. Normally watching you for awhile before approaching you. If this does not happen let a DM know or put a discreet post up IC on the forums or send an OOC PM.

The Harpers are a secretive organization that has appointed themselves as guardians of the peace and keepers of the balance. A single Harper agent does the work of many where an army could not go. In short, they work against warfare, slavery and the wanton destruction of life and keeping music and the arts alive.

Thank you all for your answers! I have a better idea now of how the guilds work here at FRC, so that I can role-play accordingly. I'm not yet sure if I want to join any guild or not, but at least I know how to behave.

Thank you again,
