Well, so far that's probably at least four (myself included).. unless you want to join us too, emil? Who knows? Could be fun!
Anyways, I expect this first round will only last a few hours, anyways, so nobody should worry too much about sticking around for the whole thing (as the whole thing likely wont be too long anyways).
All player characters must begin play completely fresh at level I
During the course of the derby, none of the involved characters may receive outside aid
During the course of the derby, none of the involved characters may use cheats or hacks
No equipment or items may be purchased from a town except on the characters' first visit. Towns are otherwise used only to receive quests and / or return to the site of death via Town Portal / Waypoints
Equipment and items may only be sold when arriving in a town for the first time
Use of stash is completely permitted
Other members of the group should aid one another as much as possible, including carrying items for one-another if necessary
Mercenaries are permitted but must not be resurrected. If your merc dies, that is that
So play anyways! (In all fairness, I've never even done an ironman before!). Who knows, it could be fun? If it proves not to be, maybe we'll just figure out something else to do next time.
I think hardcore, while interesting, would be a short-lived experiment for us (considering this is most - if not all - of our first times playing ironman). SC is better for now. Once we become more accustomed with it, maybe we can try HC.
Also, first visit means first visit to the town. Individual vendors are unimportant. You may make purchases at any vendor any number of times until you first leave a town. Then that's it. No more.
When someone dies, the others should try to aid them in retrieving their corpse. They are free to use WPs or TPs to get back to the spot where they died and re-unite with the group. Not much fun if you die in the first quest (somehow) and then are out for the rest of the game.
Remember everyone - the main focus of this guild is always to have as much fun as possible as a group.
Anyways, the game will be played on Battlenet, US East (hopefully to help our friend, emil with lag problems), at 3:00 PM PST tomorrow, Saturday March 20th.
When everyone logs on, please head on over to the chat channel: SonsOfOhr. I will be there at around 2:55 PM PST. This will eventually become our official chat channel (with a bot and everything! :D). At about 3:05-3:10 (depending on how many people we have) I would like to begin the game. We will wait as long as need be if there's only two people - though that would be very sad, lol.

That was going to be my next question.
Lol - it's been awhile since playing LoD with other people - I just hope I remember all the chat commands etc. I have been playing ES so much that the last time I was on (for the PT) I forgot how to send a private chat message among a few other commands.:facepalmsmile::facepalmsmile:

Reset party imo.

We'll wait till the ladder reset has happened (23). In the mean time, I see no reason to change Round 1 of the Ironman Derby.
Would it help / work for people if it were a couple hours earlier? Or would that cause more problems?
Yeah, like that'll happen, :P. I'll probably die first, :(.
