Could anyone suggest some RPing guilds that might possibly be looking for another member? I'm interested in doing this on another character of mine as I think it would bring another dimension into the game for me. Thanks in advance!
Theres VOP, village of paws, with @Jupiter leading that. Orcs with @Xegugg leading it and Brigands with @Bayara heading it. Brigands is dexxers only, Orcs is dexxer focused too. Join IRC channel #uor-rp and you'll find some interesting stuff
You have my thanks @RavenMagi for humble reference. *bows* The above mentioned guilds are a good source to go to. Also seek out Antos of Yew and some of the Project Sanctuary folks are quite akin to our adventures. Also, one thing you must keep in mind, and a great effort that @Alex Caember, @Cero, @Antos, and many others have tried to do is to align the vast and all very valuable splinter cells. One thing about RP is there is no 'one size' fits all. Even among orcs you may find there are some that would (if population allowed) prefer multiple adversarial orc clans as opposed to one. I have established the Village of Paws primarily for this purpose - not to have a 'large' guild of vast numbers (as many can attest, the actual active guild membership is often in short supply), but to quickly find and align with anybody whom I feel is a kindred Spirit of Paws, essentially anybody on this shard is fair game! My best recommendation would be to seek out your own best preferred role, and then determine whom to seek out. You are of course, always welcome to join us on adventures. Just make yourself easy to find in game and make sure you develop very thick skin. You will die when you RP, you will have your stories interrupted from time to time, it will happen, but I have found this is what I thrive on. Feel free to take up residence in the Village of Paws tower, we have several open beds on the second floor and the left door is 'almost' always open, except for when it is not. If you seek dedicated numbers of folk, make sure you align yourself with others and don't fall into the despair of 'there is only one of me'. I assure you there is not. A few points to note, the Village of Paws Tower (located at the Shrine of Spirituality) is connected via communication stone to dozens of locations of like minded folk. If you speak in the presence of the tower, your words are certain to be heard by at least a few folk. Although I warn you, they are much like the Palantíri Seer Stones in JJR Tolkien's middle earth - you do not know who else is 'watching'.
Someone might seek glory, others adventures... Were none of these people.. People call us Pirates, Thiefes, Scroundels.. We rule over the Oceans, and people know us as the Black Flag Corsairs. Obey our rules, and obey me and we shall grant every Outcast a second chance and a place to live! (If youre looking out for neutral-evilish themed RP, give me a shoutout. There is also a Brigand guild around which wasnt introduced here yet... @Bayara this is your turn!)
There is something on the horizon that will be based around the Guard Outposts I have been slacking on. It will be centered around the concept of Guards, although it will not require one to be a "Guard". Just uphold the Virtues and protect the citizens of the realm! If this sounds like anything you would be interested in let me know!
I tried to get something like that going with KoS back when it was thriving, but didn't really get much support. Hope it works out. I was trying for roving patrols of Knights in the area, but it never happened.
*you hear crickets chirping as dead silence prevails* *somebody coughs in the distance while another clears his throat* WHAT?! oh... oh my turn? yeah, there is this brigand thing going on down here in South Yew deep woods. but shhhh! it's only for outlaws that enjoy drinking, fighting, armed robbery, extortion, hostage-taking, and other roughneck business. the rumors are true... we hack, slash and bow-sling our way to victory... no magic. we are a pretty active bunch and have a definite combat focus that some other groups don't. so that is an important thing to consider. there are no ranks or boss/manager/grunt status among us. you're either just starting out with us as a recruit and kind of on trial to see if you mesh well... or your a full fledged brigand with run of the camp and notches on your spear. if you'd like to know more, inspect our posts in the Brigand Encampment guild thread. [big fancy picture signature coming soon]
Mayk urk uu skahun panzee. *Belches and drops cider to the ground* Clomp humies, clomp urks, bi funi, burn tings (wij am funi), agh...clomp humies! Bloodrock clan can be found north of the Compassion desert. We are probably the most awesome group of people who look out for each other and focus on gameplay over loot (at least on these chars). Yeah I said it and I believe it. That said, full disclosure, our activity comes and goes. Right now it is okay but really spikes around events. If you are up for speaking some bad English, fighting, drinking, etc and won't get upset at fighting against the odds you might be orc material. Only takes one slot to find out. We'd love to have you. Similar to brigands we have a "So you want to make an orc" thread on our guild sub forum you can check out if interested.
