Geen Age of Conan Subforum? Gundermen Guild
Hmm ik vind het niet leuk om een guild zo los te adverteren. Kan echter geen subforum vinden voor Age of Conan:
Gundermen
Server type:
We have decided to roll on a PvE server. Though our focus will be on the PvE aspects of the game, we will have players active in PvP as well.
Description:
Gundermen is a tribe for Dutch speaking players in the MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. The guild was founded on the 27th of march 2008 by several members of MMOzone.nl: Genocide, Bzrk, Andad, Darthdavy and Propheseus.
The word "Gundermen" comes from Gunderland, an existing region in Hyboria which has the most geographic similarites with the Netherlands and Belgium. You can find more information about this in our Gunderman Lore.
Council:
- Propheseus
- Bzrk
- Andad
- Genocide
- DarthDavy
Rules:
We have set up the following rules for our members which are based on the original rules from our community forums MMOzone.nl:
• We expect our guild members to behave in a mature and decent fashion towards all players inside and outside the game.
• One of our main goals is to have fun with each other, we would like our members to help achieve this and keep in mind it's just a game!
• New members will have to register on our forums. Please take your time to read the forum rules and threads with useful information.
• Our guildmembers are mandatory to follow the guidelines on MMOZone as well.
• Stick to the EULA of the MMO developer.
We, the council, keep the right to change or adapt these rules, according to the guidelines of MMOZone.nl
Our Goals:
1. To have fun!
<Gundermen> has the main goal to offer a friendly platform for members of the MMOZone community to play Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures together. To achieve this goal we have to work together by respecting each other's opinions and interact in a mature fashion.
2. Guildcity
We want to setup our own guild city. The costs will be divided amongst our members, in order to achieve this a weekly contribution is required. This will be a percentage based on your level and will be determined later in the game.
3. Battlekeep
Once we have a solid playerbase we can consider setting up a battlekeep in the border kingdoms as well.
Becoming a member
You have to register on MMOZone.nl and contact one of our councilmembers through our forums. When the game goes live you can also contact said person ingame.
We accept any Dutch speaking player, as long as you follow some simple rules like register on MMOZone.nl and behave in a mature fashion. Check the "Guild Policy" on our forums for more information. If you want to apply you can leave a message in our recruitment topic.
Gundermen Lore:
In the north the mountains of Cimmeria were already visible. This was northern Aquilonia. The weather here was hardened and colder than the more southern and western regions of Aquilonia. This region was called Gunderland. Never say region to a Gunderman though, they will cut you in half for it. The proud Gundermen still considered themselves in there own country. Politics between lords decided that Gunderland would be a nice extra playground for the Aquilonians.
In the very north of Gunderland a large encampment was set up. It was the encampment of the Gunderland's finest. Large men were training their prowess in battle with each other. A fearsome sight it was. Muscular men around 6 feet tall, grey-eyed, wielding heavy weapons like hammers and axes and swirling them around like they weighed nothing. People of other backgrounds were also found in the encampment: Aquilonians, Cimmerians and even Stygians. Each with a religious shrine of their own. Shrines for Mitra, Set and even Bori, the old Gunderland god that was forbidden by the Aquilonian government.. Believers in Crom didn't need a shrine, they praised Crom whenever they slew an enemy on the battlefield.
Today was an off day for the elite guardsmen of the borders of Gunderland and Cimmeria. They trained because they liked to hone their skills. There was the possibility of a fight in the late afternoon, but that would mean that the Aquilonian scouts needed to find a band of thugs and thieves trying to sneak pass the border. The chieftain was walking the training-grounds and looked proudly at his men. "This is Gunderland!" he suddenly shouted. "When the scouts return we will show another band of thugs how we trample them below our feet!! Nothing hurts Gunderland while a Gunderman still stands tall!!" All the men cheered and made howling voices.
That afternoon the message came from one of the scouts that thieves and thugs were sighted near a passage to Gunderland. They were still in Cimmeria though. The chieftain roared with laughter. "Hah, we will set a trap near the passage, they will all perish!" And he cleansed his fists. His tawny hair, very common for true Gundermen, was hanging half before his eyes which together with his rough beard gave him a bewildered and savage look. "Prepare the forces!"
The Gunderland army stood tall, banners raised high and face and body painted with the colors of Gunderland and smeared out in strange textures. Though part of Aquilonia, on the battlefield they where still barbarians. Gundermen were feared through all of Hyboria. Kings and lords gladly recruited a band of Gundermen when they had the opportunity. Gundermen were one of the common sightings to see in distant armies fighting for a lot of gold. A Gundermen would not care for the gold though, as long as they got paid in blood on the battlefield they would be okay.
Today they fought close to home though, at the border of Cimmeria with a large group of thieves and thugs trying to sneak into Gunderland to plunder the smaller villages. They already knew they would win, these cowardly cheating and thieving thugs where no match for the aggressive and furious rage of the Gunderland army. The horn of war was blown by their chieftain ..., though in earlier days the army would run and rage upon their foes, they now stayed in line and marched upon their enemy. This technique was taught by the Aquilonian army. Still, many a warrior clashed shields with his weapon or shouted aloud to pump up their adrenaline. A strange but fearsome sight to see an army march in perfect line but still raging and preparing for battle with a chaotic fury. The band of thugs and thieves did apparently do nothing, they just strangely stood there waiting for the army to arrive. A creepy smile on their smudged faces.
An eerie sense slowly crept over the battlefield, but the army marched on. As the army closed in on the thugs the sun suddenly got bleak and soon vanished behind a thick high hanging fog. The army prepared to deliver the first stroke to the thugs but as soon as the first blade landed, the thugs suddenly vaporized in black smoke! At that point ... knew that foul magic worked it's way on the battlefield. It was yet already too late to sound the retreat. The hanging fog fell down from the sky, hammering down the Gunderland army like a massive blunt hammer striking down on it's foe. There were sounds of cracking skulls and gushing blood and that's where the survivors of the slaughtering lost memory...
As like waking up from a very bad dream ... came to his senses. He felt an excruciating pain around his wrists. With blurry vision he looked next to him and saw ... rowing like mad on a big handle. "By Crom" ... said, "you look like shit. Now start peddling or the burns on your and mine wrist get worse". ... Looked at his wrists, they were anchored down to a big peddle and the pain in his wrist kept getting worse. "What happened?" .. asked to his brother in arms. "Who knows! I just woke up five minutes before you did. I do know we're in some sort of slaveship and we'd better peddle hard. And I overheard the slave master: they are setting course to the Onyx Chambers in Stygia". ... knew this was a bad place. Rumors of torturing and testing strange droughts on humans inside these halls were a common rumor coming from Stygia. His vision started cp,omg back, and by the throbbing feeling in his nose he guessed the hammer blow must've broken his nose on one or two places. He started looking around, he saw one hundred men rowing like mad. He saw at least twenty men died inside the vessel, their bodies going up and down with the still rowing peddles. Suddenly he noticed a sight which he rather left unnoticed. Their captains were torn to pieces, limbs were shoved on poles and heads hanging on big rusty hooks. His eyes frowned in anger and despair and his thoughts of revenge overwhelmed him.
The journey took a couple of days. Many more died and some dead and yet alive body's were taken by the slave drivers to an upper deck. Only screams came from there, even crying sounds...crying...A Gundermen never cried, not when losing a limb on battlefield or losing a friend or loved one, what the hell happened up there ... thought. He was the smallest of the bunch, not a melee fighter but a unique person with restorative powers for his allies. Seeing his allies get hurt always hurt him more than anyone else. And this time there was nothing he could do to take away the pain. Through the peddle-outlet he could see the shimmering of the water, maybe he could distract his thoughts this way. Suddenly a hard bang shook everyone to attention, and another one and another one. It was the sound of a God thundering his might on the vessel. A heavy storm suddenly clouded up high above the boat in the sky. It rained his lightning bolts directly at the steep poles leaping out of the boat to connect the sails. It didn't take long before the vessel started sweeping from one side to the other... and snapped in two.
Cuffs and wood broke, freeing some men from their bounds to the ship, but for a lot it seemed they kept there bounds and sank to the bottom of the ocean with the cursed slave ship. Survivors took their share of driftwood, called for one another. Some followers of Mitra prayed for the lost ones, followers of Crom kept silent and followers of Set prayed for the power of revenge.
That night they drifted along, the wooden planks bound to each other with gathered rope that probably came from the ship.
The next morning a small patch of beach was a becoming a strange sight. Around 20 men dressed in linen cloth crawled onto the beach or where already lying there exhausted from peddling all night. ... the chieftain took charge, he gathered all men and let some look for dry wood, berry's and nuts. Around a small fire the men gathered. They talked about the horrors they witnessed in the last two nights, what they were going to do about it and where they would go. They vowed revenge for their fallen brothers, so in time they would set goal to Stygia and defeat whatever lurks in the onyx chambers. But first, they would set up a camp and make a place for their own. Grow in strength and unite all Gunderlanders in there ranks. Then, evil would not stand a chance against the combined might of the Gundermen.
The Gundermen Legacy has begun!

De post is in het Engels omdat we ook op Internationale sites staan. De ledenlijst is al uitgegroeid tot 18 + 5 Council leden. Mocht deze post ergens anders horen dan kan een Mod of Admin dit natuurlijk even verplaatsen.
Hoop jullie snel te zien op www.MMOZone.nl voor aanmelding.
Mvg,

Een MMO krijgt sowieso geen sub-forum voor het gereleased is.
Als de MMO dan blijkt een heel groot succes te zijn, dan zal er zeker en vast een sub-forum komen

Gah! Jij bent een mietje, roleplayers zijn homos en ik PK jullie beiden!
Soit, zoals reeds gezegd, spel is nog niet released. Waar denk je dan over te praten wanneer NDA nog geldt?
Zodra het spel released wordt en er voldoende aanhang binnen de 9lives members is zal er wel een subforum komen.

Hah, dit is de eerste keer dat ik op dit forum kom. De naam hebben we van Wikipedia af gehaald.
(nu dus de tweede keer) Toch een verwijzing naar Het Nederlands/Belgie en toch een beetje in de Engelse taal. Het verhaal heb ik zelf geschreven, dus ik denk dat het aan originaliteit niet ontbreekt.
Als dat een foto van jezelf is in je avatar ben je al zielig genoeg en ga ik er niet eens op in.roleplayers zijn homos
ik pk ze dan ook als ik ze zie
Je woordenschat zegt genoeg

Een subforum komt er na de release van een game op voorwaarde ook dat de player base groot genoeg is in Belgie/9lives.
Afhankelijk van succes, impact, groote etc kunnen we dan beslissen om er wel een te maken.
Anderzijds is de orginele post mij blijkbaar wel een adveretising thread, gezien deze naar een andere comm.Website linked, en inschrijving vereist, terwijl het hier veel logisch er zou zijn een Guild te maken vanuit 9lives...
zie ik dit verkeerd?underdogdesign vernieuwt...zichzelf! ONTDEK HET ZELF!

Het is absoluut geen reclame voor MMOZone.nl. De guild is alleen opgestart vanuit deze community. Omdat we gebruik maken van het forum daar en (nog) geen eigenwebsite hebben is inschrijving vereist op het forum daar. Ik post hem hier zodat mensen kennis hebben van deze guild omdat er nu naar mijn weten twee Nederlandse/ Belgische guilds zijn, de één voor een PVP server (schild en vriend) en wij dus Gundermen voor PVE server. Wij hebben ook geen belang dat jan en alleman inschrijven maar willen wel een stabiele nederlandstalig guild opzetten met een fun en volwassen playerbase in de game Age of Conan.
Als de post dan ook verplaatst moet worden, dan heb ik hier helemaal geen probleem mee. Ik zou het wel jammer vinden als de post verwijdert zou wordenno votes
