It is so good to count you among the living. I have worried and wondered where you were, what you were doing, etc.

We can help you in ls, thats for sure. I can hop on and play D2 as well. I am working on having the charter updated to reflect what we have evolved into. So many members went afk so long, there was hardly anyone to play D2 with. When the ladder reset, people died too much and went the sc route.

Cal and Brad have had some life changes, jobs and such, I was left alone in the HC realm.

As you can see from the member list, there are those that were regular D2 players that have been afk for months. I removed 6 or 7 people that had not logged in 4-5 months or longer.

lol sorry i worried you like i said i love playing HC over SC cuz of the thrill but i can understand playing sc for dueling etc or general fun. and your right the charter is a little dated hasnt changed much since i left
hoping to get the Vaugh-skittle team back together on the HC ladder but also hope on climbing up in LS for fun and maybe some FG so i can bolster my wallet for when d3 releases which will be 3 years most likely...

I cant help u much on d2 but if you need help on LS i will do my best. We are doing Guild climbs every night and i would have to say we have been pretty sucessful considering the time zones and kids and dogs and wifes.. cant they see we are slashing?

Pls join us for some slashing fun....nothing has changed....Duke still Crits the highest...Thibor stilll.....well he does what he does...Bza is afk with new job....I am just a Chip but we are having a good time climbing as a guild. Please join us when u can.

Chip

lvl 20 at the moment

Some food for thought from your Guild Leader, The Duke:

I want to first thank each and every active member of Ancient Blood for their contributions to your guild. If you have been a member for a while, you can see our numbers are growing. If you have recently joined AB, we have added nearly seven new slashers in the last couple of weeks.

It is my desire to provide catacomb leveling where each member that desires to particpate can do so. One issue we have is that so many members have such a difference in levels, we can not get a full group at any one time.
I have reached out to our friends from other guilds and tried to build bridges that will improve our chances of getting in runs with our guildmates and freinds. Other members, such as Chip and justin, have built many relationships among the LS community. This allows us to help and be helped.

In the last few nights, I have left a group, consisting primarily of guild mates to allow other guild mates to level. I have always tried to put others first and be a good ambassador to the game and LS community. I have found out that shortly after I leave, the group disbans for whatever reason. No, I am not so special that others just can't make it witrhout me, lol.

None of us can be in more than one place at once. I jumped around into at least 5 different games last night, trying to help others.

Here is my solution, perhaps. Please leave feedback here for others to view and provide their comments.

1. Set a time for guild only runs each night. 9:30pm - 11:00pm est seems to be a time when most members are available. In two hours we should be able to grind out fifteen or twenty levels. Is this the time to level our primary toons? I am open to suggestion here.

2. Several of us have multi level toons that are available. All members need to work on this.

3. If we are in a guild member made game and another member has the appropriate level toon, he or she should be allowed to join. Yes, we will have to remake and tell whomeever is there that is a non guildy that we have a guildmate that is available to play. I understand this is awkward; however, everyone should understand that the guild members come first.
We all have good friends that we would hate to ask to leave the group. I ask this question, what is one reason to join a guild? One answer is to have friends with which to level.
I truly believew all good mannered players will understand this.

4. If we are ina group and a spot is open, fill it with an allied guild member first, if at all possible.

As guild leader, I am trying to help as many new members as possible get their toons leveled. Yes, it is keeping me from MQ'ing my Ninja but so what. I can take one or two or three for the team. Yet, it is causing other, long time members to get left out in the cold. Members that consistantly put guild points on the board.

It is relatively easy to get levels 1-45 or so. It is tough getting 45-71.

I am open to suggestion. We need to get this resolved today/tonight. I dont want anyone to get disgruntled and think of leaving AB.

Another thought:

The new members or those that just attempted the MQ should be able to get a group going with their new toons. There are enough members that we should be able to have 2 guild runs going at once.
