I'm here, texts work, I've just been running nuts with this convention. I've had very little free time. I'm Vyrtigo and I have and addiction. Wrong meeting? Vyrtigo, troll rogue (not a twink) on Illidan. I've been there since almost day 1 of Vanilla. Not really a fan of moving because I'm hella cheap and would have to move two accounts (mine and my sons). I have a group of 6 that I play with fairly regularly. We are super casual too, LFR, scenarios, old content, etc.
Hello Stryker, I'm Shelarahn. I'm the Head Cat Wrangler of COMMUNISM. I know you're hesitant about moving or putting any money towards this idea, but let me try and sway you. Our primary reasoning behind not being on Illidan is that Illidan is too old and too big for us to adequately promote ourselves in the unique way we work. We rely on very specific guerrilla marketing techniques to bring people in, because we don't really raid or do much organized stuff, so its hard to bring people in on the premise of brass rings. Thats why I dont advertise for brass rings, thats why we develop unique content like our videos and podcast and our website. We want people to be with us because they see what we are doing and go "Dang, I wanna be a part of that" Thats what brought me to COMMUNISM. I was people in 2007 on Gorgonnash dicking around in Trade and I talked to one of the officers and I really liked how they approached the game because even from day one, I realized that HARDCORE PROGRESSION RAIDING was for poopsockers. So, I realize you are entrenched where you are and may be hesitant, but I want to tell you that what we are doing here is really fucking cool and its only going to get cooler. As such, I want as many rad dudes as possible onboard. Be a hella rad dude, Stryker. Be a COMMIE.
Your elevator pitch is great Shelarahn and I really support what you guys are doing but it's not all about me. I could probably convince my CFO to let me move my account. Moving my sons account is another story as is convincing my 6 top group to move as well. I'm not opposed to running it by everyone however so I'll let you guys know. I can make due wherever as long as my playing group is present. Has a server been decided upon? If so, sorry, I missed the definitive answer.
Emerald Dream is the front runner atm. You may find some COMMIES willing to shell out some money for transfers if you beg enough.
or you could be like me and level a toon 1-90 in 2 hours then just send yourself some timeless gear clear SoO get loot and say gg
AND VYRT! If you come... i'll totally spot the cash. In fact, aren't you in Vegas this week? Fuck it... I'll hand deliver it. COMMUNISM on Emerald Dream... it's going to be fucking GLORIOUS!
OK -- FUCK. Apparently, you can't transfer if you have over 50k gold and I have like 64k. I'll be damned if I piss away 14k gold for the fuck of it. Any suggestions?
or you could buy 14k worth of mats and resell for probably a bit less but at least you arent losing 14k gold
Fuck you all, I quit this goddamned game because it was fucking killing me. WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME WANT TO GO BACK?!
Gold limitations hurts me bad. I currently have 240k, I'd be giving up quite a bit. I like being rich. And yes, in Vegas till Friday. Should have some free time early on Friday. This convention keeps us booked sunrise to well after set till Thursday night.
VYRT -- When do you leave? Let's sit and brainstorm how we're going to get you on Emerald Dream You may have 240k gold, but your friends coming with you don't... give some to them and all move together.
