Forming A Viking themed clan

[DeadlyByDesign]

So I still have yet to get the game...damn shop! So I have been throwing around the idea of forming a Viking guild. I was going down the pirate route, but Vikings are way cooler . The idea involves a bunch of sea faring raiders. We will have our own small town and go on raiding expeditions where we can plunder and pillage. Sell our plunder, then rinse wash and repeat.

So would I have any takers in this endeavour?

I am offended.

To tell you the truth, play the game first and im sure your idea will form into something else. At this point there really isnt any way to RP as specific group such as Pirates/Vikings roaming the waters, pillaging and raping.

[Erroneous]

You can be the fiercest sea dogs that ever boarded a raft.

[[O]_Fawkes]

Your town will be razed, your rafts will be destroyed.

If you're going to make a clan like this, make them racial-city based and never set up shop anywhere.

Lore is good, but without a major clan or alliance backing you, something like this is unfeasible at the moment. Most combat is done on land, and without the ability to really "pillage" and plunder you won't be able to do much more than a land-based clan will.

i was thinking about joining, but i won't for 2 reasons. 1 what Fawkes said and 2 well i really don't have the game yet so it would be a little hard :bang:

Awsome idea, but i'm too cheap for game, :( especially without a damn free trial, :'(

[fronco]

Theres already one called the Norsemen.

You actually
-> probably wont be able to secure a village
-> will have to face sea battles "the DFO way", which means that the ships you are fighting against will despawn if they are about to loose, and the biggest threat in a sea fight are swimming boarding parties, who are actually faster than your boat.

And .. dont expect too much. It is fine if you want to RP with your friends, but DFO will never be a RP-oriented game. Most of the time, you will have to follow the obscure game mechanics, which will lead to many breaks of immersion.

I was actually going to do the same thing, but more of a meta way, like each time attacking yelling "VALHALLA!!!" into the microphone for moral and fun, Ofcourse in these past times it is near impossible to have a near-sea town but i'd like somewhat along of a small trading town where we'll unload plunder and sell it to people who wants to buy stuff cheaper than in their own town, ofcourse they will bear the fact it's all pillaged :). The idea would be very funny but due to the fact that ships and town are extremely expensive it would probably not work, but one must press on! For Thor, for Odin and for Valhalla!!!, rape the churces burn the women.

rape the churches burn the men and eat the women.

I would be down with joining up with something like that. As a matter of fact when I first learned about this game I thought of doing the same thing. By the way, Viking means pirate so you'd be in the same boat (no pun intended) as them.
