We have had the pleasure of accepting four members into our guild in two days. I have sent each one the following private message:

Welcome to Ancient Blood guild. If you have not done so, please take the time to read our guild charter, found here:

http://forums.d2jsp.org/guild.php?a=13&i=963

Please observe all the jsp rules.

Be kind to each person you meet while on jsp and LS. As a beginner, you will find many people dont want to keep you in a catacomb run once they see your gear and/or damage. As you progress, you will find items to use. Keep an eye out and watch for useful drops.

You will benefit from posting in our guild chat:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=38971071&f=42&o=2260

This is the place to get to know your fellow members. Post up your level, character, time you will be playing.

We also use a private guild topic to do the same:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/guild.php?t=1208

This allows us to post up our toons and not have the info lost in countless pages.

Dont get discouraged. We are here to help you. We want you to enjoy your new guild and playing Ls.

One tip:

You can transfer your gear to another character. This allows you to keep your inventory open to get more drops. To do this, make another character, a mule. Go to town, click marketplace, click transfer, drag the tiem to transfer into the box, select the toon you want to hold the item, click tranfer.
The item is now moved to that character.

Second tip:

To improve your odds of finding a game, make more than one character. Avoid random names like fjf]ewqf or HHDYS. It screams random player to others. Keep your characters or toons as we call them spaced. It will most definately help you find games. I try to have 3 or 4 toons spread in levels.

Good luck and enjoy,

Duke

In addition, we expect all members and particularly our new members to use the guild chat and guild topic.

I would also reccomend checking each others profiles to view all of the LS toons each person has. Become familiar with the names of the toons. If you see them within your range, make every attempt to get with them.

I want to apologize to ashtray101. I was in a group with two other guild mates when you were messaging me. I could not leave them at the time. When I did, you were in a full group.

We all need to utilize the guild topic to post our characters, their levels, and the time we expect to be slashing. It will make it easier to get a group together.

The guild traditionally plays around 9:30pm eastern standard time through the week. We play on and off all day on the weekends. There will be some of us that may be found randomly during the day. We haveplayers that are East coast, West Coast, and all areas in between.

This guide is a step by step breakdown of how to be successful in the catacombs.
My intent is to explain how to form a group, run a group, participate in a group , and ideas of how to be good mannered while in a group.
These simple steps will lead to fast leveling while making the game enjoyable for everyone.



Forming a successful group:


1) The first step in forming a successful group is knowing the roles of the differentcharacters.
For instance a Barbarian is should be able to absorb damage, a Magician or Guardian may be
a healer etc... Ideally you will want (This can vary depending on variables such as equipment,
experience of the players, and what character types are available) :

2 Characters that can absorb damage (Tankers)
2 Characters that can do decent damage
1 Healer

You will not always be able to find a character to fill all of these slots so do not waste too
much time trying to (this may cause other players, who are waiting in your group, to leave your
group and find another).

2)Once you create a group, other players in your range will join. Try to keep your group together.
Most players are good mannered and will try to stay with one group.

3)If you do not have enough players to fill your group, you can use the in game commandsto find
players that are needed for your group. This is accomplished by using the /find (level)
command to find players within your range. Once you have a list of players in your range, you
can use the /who (character name) command to find out what type of character that player is
playing. Finally, you can use the /msg (character name) command to message players and
inform them that you have a game running.

/find (level) finds players within your range
/who (character name) finds the type of character that player is playing
/msg (character name) used to message players



Running a group:


1) The group comes first!Try to keep the same players who started with your group together.
Wait for everyone that was with you last game to regenerate and return to the new game.
When someone who was not with you last game, joins your new game, a simple "game is
full" will usually get them to leave. If this does not work, the command /kick (character name)
will kick them from your game.

2) When you do need to fill a spot, YOU message people. Do not assume someone else in the
group is doing so. It is your group, and up to you to ensure it runs smoothly.

3)You want to level the group as fast as possible and still leave time for other players to pick up
shrineables. It is possible to go too fast, so it is a good idea to ask the group, to make sure
everything is running smoothly.

4)Make sure you let the group know when there is going to be a delay in starting the next game.
This usually pertains to bathroom breaks, transferring gear. etc...

5)Keep an eye on everyone's life. If the group as a whole gets low on life, make a new game.

6)Keep an eye on everyone's current level to make sure that when you level, everyone is still within your range before making next game.


Participating in a group


1)Stay with your group, do not group hop (explained in the next section).

2)Share the drops, help make sure everyone has shrineables.

3)Make sure you let the group runner know if you are going to be delayed in you joining the next
game. This usually pertains to bathroom breaks, transferring gear. etc...

4)Do not leech. Even if you do not have the best of gear, you can still try to contribute to the
group. People are more likely to keep you with the group if your trying.

5)If you know your going to be leaving a group, try to find a replacement for yourself before it is
time for you to leave. This will help prevent the group waiting on a new player to join the group}.



Being good mannered, here are a few ideas for running/participating in a good mannered game:


1)Be nice to everyone!Try to understand that some players may have very little forum gold to buy
equipment for a character and may not have the best gear. As long as they are trying (not just
leeching), you should keep them with the group and allow them to level with you.

2)Do not be selfish. Share the shrineables! One person grabbing up all of the shrineables (which I
assume they do hoping to find nice items to sell) causes a delay in heal time for the group as
a whole and leads to the group having to wait on everyone to get to the next game. This can
really hurts the healer (if you have one) because mana does not heal at the same rate as life.

3)Try to avoid "hopping" from group to group. This hurts both groups as a whole (the one you
join, and the one you left). It can cause delay in both groups by you not being available for the
next game, and by making the group runner search for another player to fill your spot.

4)Do not try to take over someone's game. Some of us are annoyed when a player shows
up in a game and immediately tells us to "GO". Usually this player has not only just joined the
group, but more than likely, has also taken a spot from someone else. They say "GO" hoping the
runner will hit "engage" without realizing that he/she is missing a member of the original group.

5)Do not message players who are already in a group, asking them to join yours. This leads to
players leaving one group to join another (usually with a higher level runner). These same
people will leave your group when another "higher" group comes along. People in a group are
shown with an asterisk in front of their name when you use the /find command.Example
"elderly" = not in a game, " *elderly" = is in a game

6)Do not bail out on your group when you hit level 71, It only takes a few more minutes to kind
and make sure the whole group makes it to level 71. Remember, you made it to 71 with the
help of your group, you should return the favor.


Following these few simple steps will help make the game and leveling more enjoyable for everyone.
