You dodged part of my question. I literally see every one of your orcs casting magic. Not something we're normally into. As far as mounts go, who knows, you might be able to talk a few Bloodclan people into implementing mounts or something, not sure. I rp on UO:Forever as a human. Once BC left I stayed and rp in the Black Wind and City of Trinsic guilds. But, again, it's going to be a tough sell when all you guys have ethys and cast magic. Just fyi.
No, you're right. There is an element of being an orc that is lost on a mount - mages we allow - any template we allow - we're trying to be a somewhat casual clan where people with the right mindset can be an orc as long as they follow the golden rule of not breaking character (we welcome old retired orcs too heh).Originally Posted by Sek'Morag
In truth, we have maybe 5 solid members who don't always get time to play when the others do (we've cycled through about 10 others who I haven't seen in ages), so running solo usually resorts to playing a snaga to farm with rather than the orc.
I have not yet even revealed much of our presence on the UO:Forever forums as I wanted to establish a territory and find a few grunts to run the pugs when we actively recruit. When recruitment time comes, I do intend on doing away with mounts themselves and allowing sheer numbers to benefit our non auto-bot pvp tactics (without scripts like those robed fellas it's rough even 2v1 sometimes). I apologize if I was defensive in my response - those wolf riding mojos were probably us (that won't last forever).
The way I see this is if I wait to announce our presence on the forums and do any recruiting, us 3 clans can organize a plan, territories and roles in all of this behind the scenes and then open the gates for an active movement to rouse some activity and entertainment.
Your clan demands the most respect from what I've seen throughout the years. Boulderfist have made their presence and I'm sure you guys have played alongside them before on other shards. Our clan is a casual RP guild - casual does not mean a "slacking" on the roleplay part at all, but rather a lack of structure in terms of a military sense that is often perceived when thinking of an "orc guild" in UO based on the old traditions. Instead, I encourage people to play the game any way they want, just do it as an orc and don't break character.
I know a lot of old orcs don't like hearing that or that it is thought of to be trammel-like, but these guys are blood-thirsty no matter how "chill" I try to be about the clans interactions. They do runs through the cave like it's nobodies business and it has a lot of attention - a steady hotspot for shiniez or oomie huntin...
My point is that it seems like a good opportunity for us all to get a fresh start together and do something a little different than we've all been doing the past X amount of years, ya know? I still can't stop playing UO after all these years and all these different games - and I know a ton of you guys know exactly what I mean if not all of you hah.
I consider your clan the military forces, we are like murderous civilians and Boulderfist is somewhere in the middle - a fair set of options I would think)... I see large opportunity for community activity here - a whole race of orcs, not just all soldiers - the t-hunters and champ hunters, fishers and crafters, etc. would all basically supply the war effort with primo armor and weaponry - and get involved... think about it - a whole living breathing infrastructure... We could do this.
I ask that anyone who can spread this around and that there is a willingness for support to get any new orc clans here started. I mean not to take anyone from any other UO shards you may be present on, but this is an offer for another option should the others fail or the idea inspire you - we would be honored to have the Bloodclan as the third tribe in the Orcish Hordes Alliance. Rulg.
