"The Shadows" - A loose band of outsiders [Ebonheart Pact]

walpurgisnacht
My character, a Dunmer Nightblade is an adventurer at heart, but living in Skyrim as a Dark Elf gave him the viewpoint of the cynical survivor early on. His dream is to form a band of others like him who have gone rogue against the way things are. Common kindred of the wisdom of selfishness, if you will. While the quest system in ESO disrupts suspension of belief one needs to immerse in a fantasy of being an adventurer in Tamriel, one can still roleplay adventure if one is innovative. As for myself, the player of the character, I'm not looking to make some big fuss of a guild. You can join up to five anyway. I just want to find people who roleplay on the quality level I have been lucky to experience in the two Neverwinter Nights games and the fun people I met in City of Heroes. The theme of this guild is adventurers who go against the flow of society and become associated with one another, forming a gang that calls itself 'The Shadows'. Where it goes from there is really up to the people that want to be a Shadow. I'm not going to post easy to figure out directions on what to do to join. If you really want to do this, we will figure it out. The nature of the gang calling itself "The Shadows" will be defined by those interested in it, but I'm going in the general direction of a bunch of misfits with dark pasts who all share a common interest in vigilante behavior against the norm. Look at the setting, you have a lot of factions that for want of a better word, are totalitarian in nature. If you played Skyrim, you know how the Nords are towards other people in general, and how some Nords defy this commonality. So, I dunno, drop me a line in game to @walpurgisnacht. I just made my character this morning so I'm not sure if I tried to recreate his name here by memory if I would get a letter two or not, but its kinda a variant of Vlad Dracul. No I don't play two dimensional hostile dark elf or overly gothic creepy emo vampire.

    I was going to do an edit but the options gear is nonfuctional. My character's name in game is Vlathuu Drakaad if you want to send a whisper.

    So... I find myself wondering if you are creating this guild on the NA or EU mega server. It does sound like a guild I could see myself being part of, but it would be a shame if you're on the "wrong" sever.

    I'm verrrry interested, but only if this is a guild intends to be RPing heavily from day one. I have really jumpy reservations about joining RP guilds after my experiences in WoW (and incidentally, with my entire experience in NwN wherein I was promised RP, spent 3 days getting the game working, and then logged into a completely empty world. I still haven't RPed or seen a single other player in that game haha!) because they've all burned me by waiting four-six months while everyone goes and PvPs and never gets a storyline going. Then they become a PvP guild. :c I don't want to be a part of a PvP guild. I have spent forever on these characters of mine! I realize it's suuuuper early for a definitive story, and I don't expect one with most of the player base not even online yet. I really do want to be part of an RP guild that actually RPs regularly, though. Regularly... as in more than once or twice a week for two whole hours.

    I would be interested but atm I now have to wait for my physical copy of ESO to arrive so I can enter my code for the free month.......we all know how that goes * grins and shakes her head over the red tape we must pass through*

    Cool, by the way beware of the teso site that has teso-rp on it. I was having weird issues with it before where twice pages of that site suddenly created a download windows prompt without me actively trying to download something. When that ceased, I thought it was maybe related to something else as they have ads and some ads follow spyware you could have acquired elsewhere. But I just tried to use an addon from a site related to teso, and it put the nasty Linkey malware on my beautiful laptop. Fortunately, I had created a system restore point just before trying the addon and now Linkey's gone.

    Sorry it took me so long to respond. Yeah, I can safely say I'm willing to make it dedicated soley to RP. To me, the game itself gets boring after an initial period - for any game. You must have played NWN later in its time period. I took a hiatus from gaming in 2009 to draft a book and dice RPG and only just last August started playing again. NWN2 was out before then and the community was starting to fade from its glory days. I never, ever saw good role play in WoW, ha. I'm not a power gamer type of person, and I really like cool roleplay. Though honestly, I don't like the roleplay where you sit in a tavern and talk and be overly dramatic with bad pathos and attention-grabbing actions. I like it when people roleplay their character to establish a motivation for common adventure, then go out and pursue in-game action while role-playing reactions to what's going on.

    Also, I have characters on all three factions now: Vlathuu Drakaad on Ebonheart, Cernnunn Stygian on Daggerfall, and Dimitrios Ibenkalla on Aldmeri Domion. So if you run into me, feel free to RP, you don't have to join a guild to do that. If you want to RP, send me a tell and I can switch to the appropriate faction if needed.
