Post here everything and anything ooc regarding these events, including scheduling issues (I'm flexible).
I enjoyed all of Kobals trips I was able to attend; and Tues. afternoons for me are perfect. I wanted to get started this week, so I'm planning an episode for Friday 8 Sept. Thereafter these will be held on Tuesday, starting 12 Sept. Hope to see you there! :)

Cool that you are continuing Yllyrryon!
Due to RL business I am taking a break from Kobal's adventures (at least from organizing the Tuesday trips), but I will most likely join as many of these as I can - and start organizing again once I find the time.
Nice initiative.
-
Just saw the times. Could you move it to a few hours earlier perhaps? It is a tad late for us GMT+2 people. 18.00 GMT would be perfect for me.
-
every second Friday I have the day off (the 8th I am off), so unless I have a quest planned, love to attend with Kat but evenings are out till the WL is over. Some Tues and Thurs I work a split shift so I have about 3 hours in the mid afternoon ADT. Sundays are also good for me for now, but I am working on some quests for Sunday mornings to start in late sept.
-
Aww, two levels to go before I can die on those trips ;)
Nice initiative though!
-
I'm having us meet in Lorindar to give us some flexibility in case there's something on central we want to do.
Thanks for the interest so far! I've received some pm's in addition to the posts above. When I get back to the forums tomorrow I'll move the times a bit earlier to accomodate your request, Harlas.
I'm willing to put some time in this, and adventuring with a strong and well organized group is well worth it - so I'll be looking at ways I can accomodate you, Minerva, and others who have pm'd me. Perhaps additional time slots that will work for you.
Calling it a night, here. :)
-
Well, Xan need to go out a bit more, so I'll try and come.
18:00 GMT as in Harlas post is fine with me
-
I'll start trying to make it to these... I'm horrible at remembering the times.
I'll play locksmith and maybe a few other roles. ;)
-
I have traveled east a bit, but would like to know the area a bit more. I would definately like to participate. Now I just need to figure out the time differences =P.
-
Heya,
If you can put up with a Paladin's ways, I'd love to come along on at least a few of these trips!
Only on small prob. The Original posted time is perfect for me, but a 6pm GMT slot is almost impossible. 6:30 is slightly more posssible - if you don't mind the risk of me turning up late!
(I normally arrive home from work between 6 and 6:45pm)
-
Ireth would love to run with Ael but ditto on the time....
I could make the orginal time easily and at a push might make the earlier one depending on my kids....
-
Barion will try to make it to as many of these as he can ,if you'll have him .
The time suggested by Harlas is perfect for me .
-
it would be awesome if I could make this but they're all during hours I'm usually in school. Maybe once I get onto winter vacation... However, if 15:30 = 3:30 EDT. I can make that Friday one, as well as any other one not on Monday or Tuesday
-
ill try and make them when RL allows it :) cant have ael running around on his own
-
This Friday's expedition will begin at the time I have indicated originally, 19:30 gmt. Next Tuesday, we'll start at 18:00 gmt.
For the next few weeks, I hope to hold two of these events per week. The start time for the one on Tuesday will alternate between 18:00 gmt and 19:30 gmt every other week. The second event will be "floating" to accomodate others who cannot make the Tuesday times. I'll specify these a week in advance so folks can make plans.
Of course, all of this will be subject to any quests by our gm's. So any gm who wants to run a quest during any of these time slots - let me know so I can accomodate you.
-
Storold might come around, I have no idea atm. but if he isn't there just take it as he isn't coming
I might be a little late... But, unless you are in some insane place I will be running there invisible if I am permited! Else, please tell me somehow, I will be around soon, but first in 2 hours or so... Depends on my mood an condition...
-
I'd like to sign up to the said expedition that takes place on friday. These trips seem like a great idea!
-
I'll be there tomorrow it looks like.
-
I am happy to see this sort of gathering and outing, so long as it is all RP'd (and it will be I am sure). Good job. :)
-
I updated the player calendar to reflect the alternating start times on Tuesdays.

Next week's second gathering will be in Arabel at the same time as today's was, 19:30 gmt, per agreement of many who participated. Newcomers who meet the level prerequisites are welcome to next Friday's adventure; if you are new, please show up at least 10-15 minutes early so we can roleplay your joining us and determine where you'll fit in. :)
-
It was a good time today, guys. Some nice tension early on, and even better the eventual cohesion. It took us a while, but we managed to organize even the most haphazard of groups to create a successful expedition. I hope to see you all next time.
Keep rockin', Yllyrryon.
-
I was very pleased to see how well such a large group functioned.... the only death was andraia's when one of those trolloc buggers decided it could see thru my G-sanc and kept shooting those deadly arrows :) Then one more fell in the wind cave.... dont like that lightining eh? :)
But even with that the group planned and executed a flawless rescue opperation.
Hope to attend in the future!
-
yeah last night rocked (even if i am now up with too little sleep as a result). My thanks to all especially to Ael for organising it.
-
Thanks to everyone who joined us today in the Expeditions to the East I've been organizing. I'm taking a moment to post level requirement guidelines I will be strictly following from here on out with these adventures. Expeditions to East Server: Level 20+. If you are Levels 17-19 you may go with us occasionally to East. By this I mean no more than once every two weeks. I'll keep record of who attended, based on my logs of these, so we can all be on the same page. It's my understanding that what I've specified above is a general guideline for playing your characters on East. Note that here, I took liberty to define "occasionally" for the sake of these trips as once every other week. While I am doing two expeditions per week, one of them will be for original level range I specified, namely Level 15+. We will hold these on the Central server somewhere. Level 15 +

Calendar updated. :)

Thank you for setting up, and managing this!
Right now for me these trips fall smack dab in a butter zone that I have to be on Layo. (todays ran long... and yes I got "The Look" from my wife again).
Thanks again for setting this up. Todays group had a level spread to it but I though people did well, and the group certainly meshed as far as battle was concerend!
My biggest problem was lag.... if we would have had anymore people in the group I dont think I could have functioned at all... as it was EVERY fight was a slide show on my screen... I even knocked down all my video settings half way thru (which I think made me crashy!) with no help.... all those spell effects, stacked with all those people moving... friends and enemies.... its brutal. So far I have seen few deaths and I dont think many if any could be blamed on lag.... I'd hate to start seeing people getting wipped out because of lag.
So.... I hope the group size stays firm and y'all stand by it... and that the players who dont go (which might be me even!) are understanding when they cant attend.
Mucho Respect!!!!

Actually, using an alternating schedule for levels below 20 will keep the numbers down, even from what they have been. I think this will work out well. Also, I think we should try and plan for trips to be no longer than four hours doses max, because for our characters, that is one heck of a strenuous trip, and for us as players, after four intense hours of exploration, combat, and strategy, the brain is in dire need of rest.
-
I have to agree for various reason, one including my need to sleep :), that four hours sounds like a good working aim.
-
I'll try to be there this afternoon. Otherwise please go ahead and adventure without me. :)

My plan is to have Ael in Arabel for whoever wants to do an expedition on East after the servers are back up today.
http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=29995&posts=6&start=1
Keep in mind the level issues we've raised: if you are L17-19 you can come every other week. :)
-
I'm finishing up some work I had started - given that the servers were/are down. Just a heads up that my plans are to hang out in Arabel, as Ael, for 15-20 minutes in about 90 minutes from now (assuming the servers are back up). I'm writing this at 20:47 gmt. If the servers aren't up at that time, then the plan is to wait in Arabel for 15-20 mins after they're back on-line.
Just letting you know in case you are able to make it. ;)
-
I hope to make future trips with you. I think the 4 hour mark is a good one that we all should be mindfull of. That really is a long time for our characters!
Also I think that the push forward should be decreased... and IMO that will allow the level of RP to increase. Im not saying sit around so long things respawn on our heads... but for example when the group finds a place to rest that really is safe with no respawn near by (which I know isnt always an option). Thet instead of a mad rush to R&R (Rest and Recast).... everyone takes some time to flex their RP muscles! :)

I have run out of time this evening...so I will take care of the necessary in character posts/notices for this when I return. Please not the following however:
http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/calendar/event-view.asp?eventid=2386&year=2006&month=10
Although it's a guild trip, I am opening this to folks outside the guild, subject to the limitations I have specified on the calendar.
-
To clear up any scheduling ambiguity, the dates and times Ael specifies in his expedition notices are all in-game which I have taken from this handy time converter:
http://layonara.com/cgi-bin/ltc.cgi
For actual scheduling, please check the player calendar entries. Most of you know this, but I'd rather be a bit redundant to avoid confusing anyone. ;)
-
Like the title says, I'm moving this back one hour.
http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/calendar/event-view.asp?eventid=2386&year=2006&month=10
I hope to see you there! :)
-
On account of some rl stuff that will take all morning and likely run into the afternoon, I'm moving the start time for this back to 5pm cst, 6pm est, 10 pm gmt.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

For next Tuesday:

-
Ah well....Was hoping to make another of these but can't justify staying up that late on a week night! :(
-
Will see if I can go, the 1 PM CST worked much better for me... less of a conflict when my girls get home from school.
-
I'll keep these times in mind for upcoming weeks.
However, my schedule for this Tuesday requires me to start my Layo time no earlier than mid-afternoon, my time, likely later. So to play it safe, I've moved this to 18:30 cst, or 23:30 gmt. Sorry to my friends in Europe and similar time zones.

I marked myself as unable to attend on the calendar, if by chance your not way deep someplace I can be there about 2 hours after this scheduled start.... I wont hold my breath though... dont expect an entire group to wait for that long, it's not fair to the rest.
hope y'all have fun, & hope I can make future trips at the old time slot. :)
