References:
None unfortunately. I installed RQ's own custom Mumble client and I
talked a bit with Febronia, but thats about it. If any current RQ member
is willing to chat more and potentially become a reference, I'd be glad
to.
On PWI-LC I knew some RQ players but not on a personal enough level. My
PWI-LC name was Moonlite - a lowbie lvl 80 PvE cleric who didn't PK
(from YingYang/Aurora and later Integrity but left after drama). My
PWI-HL name was Desiree, a very PvP-active lvl 100 venomancer from
Crimson/Kylin (top factions during their time). I come to RQ seeking
what I hope to be my first real gaming clan.
Interest:
I haven't yet looked much into other Forsaken World guilds yet but when I
made the concrete decision of switching over to FW when open beta
starts, I though that I should check out the RQ branch here first.
RageQuit was ironically what got me into PvP. When I played PWI-LC, I
was on the receiving end of RQ (our faction leader, CutieEyes, did
something dumb and got us KOS'd). While I was pure PvE on that server
(and knew nothing about PvP). I resented RQ for the scrubs that enjoyed
doing nothing but camping our lowbies. I went as far as, with some other
random archer named Solarslayer (or something like that), arranging the
political alliances that ultimately resulted in the formation of the
faction "Integrity" purely with the sole purpose of TWing against RQ.
Only then did I actually get exposed to the other, more "organized" side
of RQ - discovering their seriousness in organized PvP and the
relatively high level of coordination. While I continued fighting
against RQ (or at least until I left the faction due to ridiculous
internal drama that I could not stand listening to/seeing in faction
chat every day), I admired the other half of RQ that was organized and
really knew how to PK outside of camping lowbies.
When PWI-HL started, I forced myself to learn PvP. Not because I wanted
to follow those notorious "lowbie-camping" footsteps, but because I
wanted to prevent that scrub side of RQ from appearing on that server.
I've been PvPing since week one of the server (along side, of course,
all that grinding - PvE to PvP) and am one of the most active PvPers
there, somewhat known for cleaning up the pompous lvl 90+ red names
camping lvl 30 areas. Tor me, PvP = real fight between two players/sides
with the intent of PKing each other, not shameless ganks or zerg-fests.
I know I cannot compare to the original PWI-LC legends, but I do my
best to keep the PvP scene alive, even if I live in a carebear PvE
faction that would rather lose their charms to mobs than other players.
Deciding to come into Forsaken World, I realized that unlike the last
two PWI servers I've been on, if I wish to pursue the PvP lifestyle, I
need a strong, experienced clan to be my backbone. A clan which not only
helps encourage/partake in PvP action but also actively pushes it to
the next level. I will be playing FW with the
"grind-til-endgame-for-PvP" mentality and, from what I've seen in
PWI-LC, RQ's more hardcore PvPers follow that as well. It may seem
ironic that I'm interested in joining the faction which I started off
hating in my very first MMO, but RQ does still fit the bill when it
comes to serious PvP-business (not to mention the no-drama policy) and
has always been high in my books in terms of respect. I started off
learning how to PK by reading through mystic's
old PvP guide and continued on to eventually completing my own detailed
veno PvP guide.
Yes, there's the possibility of FW's RQ deteriorating into a scrub "we
camp lowbies all day and don't actually recruit PvPers with real skill"
faction, but I'm hoping that won't happen or can be stopped early (if it
does though, I'll be going back to the "other side" - against RQ). I
live to KOS and PKK.
Last but not least, I enjoy making TW videos. Due to the lack of PvP
action on PWI currently, I barely have any PvP videos, but in a
PvP-oriented faction like RQ, I'm sure I'll be loaded with FRAPS-worthy
material. Here's my PWI-HL TW videos forum link:
