Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 08, 2004, 07:48:53 PM
I know we've had this discussion before, but maybe we should start thinking of expanding again.  Not into another online browser-based game, but prehaps into a commercial game.  Personally, I would love if we would expand into Halo, or some other fps, because I specialize in those as my computer game of choice.
I'm just saying, most of us have a type of computer game we love to play, and most of us excel at what we do.  Why not put our skills to good use in spreading The Great Alliance into new areas?

Why?

prehaps into a commercial game / Halo
So essentially you're saying TGA should be a clan?
One problem with that is that games without persistant worlds (Halo, UT, etc) mean meeting up at specific times and playing matches against other clans.
Which doesn't just require specialisation, or whatever, it requires lots of co-ordination and dedication.

The good things with TGA as it is, is that we have a relaxed atmosphere, and you don't need to turn up at 7pm every Thursday, or whatever - you just join in when you can.

I'm not opposed to having TGA take on the world through other games, but it isn't easy; it might just be better to stick with browser-based stuff.

Maybe. I'm just saying that a lot of browser based games seem to lose their flavor fairly quickly compared to a lot of computer games.  But hey, nobody's forced to do anything, so do what you want.  ;)

anyone want to join in on some Americas Army (http://www.americasarmy.com/), Battlefield 1942, or Gunbound (http://gunbound.net/) action?

you know.. many clans are large enough so there are not necessarily all the members on at the same time, but it is nice to be online w/2 or 3 members of your clan.  in games like AA, teamwork is very important and it's good to know how your teammates play to be successful.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: SS on July 08, 2004, 08:37:31 PM
Ok, hmmm. Why not just have everyone list the games that they have/play online and any matches can meet up and play together, with a TGA|Name tag if they want, but don't actually go full-time into playing clan games and stuff?


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 08, 2004, 08:41:04 PM
well, do to me being a lazy fuck, ive only got: Halo, and the ut2k4 demo.
but i just got a radeon 9800 pro a few days ago, so im hoping to steal a new game or two at some point.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: diskreet on July 08, 2004, 08:51:25 PM
americas army is completely free.  but it's huge to download.  like 700MB


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 08, 2004, 08:51:54 PM
well then, americas army it is.
*edit* woohoo! and it's only gonna be a 13 hour download! sarcasm *edit*


Title: We need to expand
Post by: diskreet on July 08, 2004, 08:55:20 PM
want me to mail you a copy of the game on cd?   :D

as far as a meeting place... IRC!!! IRC!!! IRC!!!
whole irc networks are built around games and clans.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 08, 2004, 09:00:56 PM
nah, ill just do the download. i dont wanna pay shipping and handling and crap like that. *is a cheap bastard*
and yeah.
maybe if we dont get too big, we can just use the current channel on chatchannel


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Lord Lanair on July 09, 2004, 04:01:24 AM
Well, for online games, TGA could expand into Wythia... *hint hint*

But how about making a clan in the only computer game I play: diablo  LOL Or maybe Warcraft would be a better choice?  :P  


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 09, 2004, 10:55:12 AM
well, maybe diablo2. but stuff like that is more for fun, instead of being a competition.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Filran on July 13, 2004, 04:15:39 PM
Well for me, I play both Dark Eden (free), and Priston Tale (free until you reach level 40), and both support clans. I think. Can't remember. Yeah. They do. xD


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Perdition on July 13, 2004, 05:05:27 PM
oo yes diablo 2 would be fun

I had a level 27 or summit but got deleted because it was a ladder charector.  fucking thing

Post by: evilknight on July 14, 2004, 03:50:42 AM
if we all played, would we all make new characters and lvl together? or would those of us with higher level characters be able to use them to?


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Filran on July 14, 2004, 12:44:48 PM
Dark Eden and Priston Tale are graphical MMORPGs. I use the same name on both of them who want to know. Darhalan and Demoriel. For the interested, links are www.eng.pristontale.com and www.darkeden.com/en/

And DE uses the english version of Grey! xD -cheers, because Grey is much better than Gray.-

Well, since my account on D2 expired i would need help lvling my new characters on my new account. My account is KDFusion. Do any of you have the expansion to D2?


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 14, 2004, 09:03:40 PM
*raises hand* ive got two necromancers for the expansion, both are around level fifty, give or take five levels.
ive also got some lower level things i can use. heck, im perfectly fine with just starting a new character.

I have to try and remember my usernames.  I assume we'd ne playign in the eastern realm even though I think the western one is better.

I don't even have Diablo, so I laugh at you all!


Title: We need to expand
Post by: FusionX on July 15, 2004, 06:25:31 PM
Eastern Realm is down more than Western is. That and it generally runs a bit slower than Western does. Only because there are more people in it, though.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Perdition on July 15, 2004, 06:46:25 PM
you can play in  the west even if you don't live there.  


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Arkanor on July 15, 2004, 10:14:04 PM
I'm really confused.  Have we decided to expand into BF1942, America's Army, Diablo, or all three at once?


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 15, 2004, 11:31:22 PM
well, all my characters are on the eastern realm.
let's just make a damn list.
anybody who wants to try playing a group game of diablo2, raise your hand.
then say wether or not you have the expansion.
*raises hand*
i have the expansion.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: diskreet on July 15, 2004, 11:53:40 PM
is it worth the $20?


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 16, 2004, 12:04:28 AM
definatly. it has awsome replay value to, because each level is randomly generated each time you play. aaaand, there's all the different characters to play as, each of which has three unique skill trees.
you wont be bored with it for a while.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: FusionX on July 16, 2004, 02:30:09 AM
*raises hand*
I have the expansion as well.

disk- It would be alot better if you bought the expansion as well because the normal D2 is a little boring and the armor and weapons are not as diverse.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Lord Lanair on July 16, 2004, 03:21:26 AM
*raises hand*

I have the expansion, and a lvl. 82 cleric waiting to serve.  :D

Cleric??? i don't remember there ever being a cleric is Diablo 2...

A cleric is a paladin that has meditation aura equipped (with max prayer synergy) and holy bolt as his main attack.  His purpose is to provide healing and mana for the party (and utterly rape any undead units).   He can't attack normally, though. :D

All the builds are named, like Zealots, Frost Zealots, Avengers, etc (all those are pally builds... he he he).    LOL


Title: We need to expand
Post by: FusionX on July 17, 2004, 08:55:29 PM
So you have a paladin, you could have said that to begin with....and holy bolt?? last time i checked that was an incredibly stupid skill. Ok so it's strong, so what. It was slow and it sucks when it comes to pvp. Then again last time i played the game was version 1.09b. Oh well, atleast your pally will be good if i ever make a sorc.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 17, 2004, 10:57:54 PM
both of my necromancers are poison and bone necros. one's bone spear is doing somewhere between 800 and 1200 non-elemental/physical damage per hit.
but im fine just starting a new character.


Title: We need to expand

Title: We need to expand
Post by: Everous on July 18, 2004, 12:01:41 AM
uh-huh...I had a lv 42 Avenger a coupla years ago...dunno where my discs are now though

anyone want a game of UT2k4?...I'm really crap...but hey, I only got it yesterday

or how about Battlefield 1942?...if anyone happens to own a server with a decent number of people on...or we could go find ourselves a good server


Title: We need to expand
Post by: FusionX on July 18, 2004, 07:54:23 PM
Yes, I do want to play tuesday. It's the most annoying thing trying to start from the beginning by yourself. I might as well just play single player for that.

evil and lanair- I'm assuming your characters are non-ladder?

Ev-I spent 2 days looking for the case to the expansion because i needed the cd-key. Then after i found i left it somewhere and forgot where it was... but i found it again.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 18, 2004, 09:32:56 PM
no, all my characters are ladder. if that's it, ill have to start a new guy.


Title: We need to expand

Well i just started a new account and i have a level 2 zon so i don't care.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: Lord Lanair on July 19, 2004, 03:51:34 AM
I'll try to play on Tuesday.  I have a lvl 5 or so ladder cleric (don't laugh) and 4 non-ladder pallys, ranging from 81 to like 9.  :)

Everous - I'm all for BF1942.  Expansion, or the original?  And we should probably just pick out a fast server that never has many people on it, and invade.

ok, it's tuesday.
we need a time, and a chatroom to meet in.
and also if we're using ladder characters or non-ladder.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: FusionX on July 20, 2004, 07:57:09 PM
we might as well use ladder-chars.
The time ... around 5-6pm.. or if u can't make it then just get on whenever you can and Pm my account (KDFusion) or evilknight's acc. (evilknight400 ... i'm pretty sure that's his...) so we know you're on.
As for the chatroom, I'm assuming you mean the chatroom in-game and not on mIRC. I'm not too sure on this one yet.


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 20, 2004, 09:00:23 PM
yeah, an in-game chatroom. just a place for everybody to meet up before we maek a game.


Title: We need to expand

I'm playing right now. an hour early but oh well, i have nothing better to do.
 


Title: We need to expand
Post by: evilknight on July 20, 2004, 09:04:52 PM
well, im hanging with some friends for now, but ill be on around five-ish.
i wish we could find biter, he's got a godly account.
anyways, how about we meet on the East realm, chat room name "meangreen" (without the "s of course)
i just stick with that because that's what biter always used when we played.
