I doubt I'm going to spend any money on the game anytime soon, but I'm REALLY enjoying it, the art and music are phenomenal! I've got through the intro with both an Elf Hunter and a Hobbit Minstrel.

I'd be willing to bet that Eternal Grove will be back at launch... actually I think we'll see it come online this weekend.. that is one short list for all the folks that will be playing this weekend.. they'll need more servers..

I use Latin phrases for my ship names; Latin always sounds so much more profound than anything I could come up with in English:

My Multi-Vector Prometheus Escort:
USS Dies Irae (Day of Wrath)

My Intrepid Retrofit Science Vessel:
USS Ars Moriendi (The Art of Dying - refers to texts on how to die with honor)

Also, for those of you who remember the old, dial-up BBS systems, I used the names of some of those BBS software packages as names for some of my ships, as they just had cool names. Thumbs up if you know what I'm talking about!

USS Iniquity
USS Renegade
USS Oblivion

Yep. I got an email from the leader of Rough Trade less than an hour ago asking me if Crystal Desert was acceptable.

I don't see any reason why it isn't and I'm happy to go with them if you guys are. What do you all think? we still have the option of rolling on Tarnish for now and taking it after this weekend or we can roll with RT on Crystal Desert.

Is the photo gallery not iPad friendly? That's the only thing I can use at the moment was trying to upload pix of the remodel

for one toon i did the Burroughs of nyc (except staten island lol)

Tarnish Coast is fine by me.

I believe from what I've been told that Eternal Grove is still the "official" LGBT server and will remain it until we hear that it's defiantly gone for good (to be honest I imagine it'll be back before launch).

Discussions can continue after this weekend. For now I think we should select a server for us to play on which would "hopefully" make playing this weekend the easiest it can be for us.

Thrumdi suggested "Tarnished Coast". How would that suit everybody? (just for this weekend).

Yeah it got a fix, abit different from the one i managed to save however. Still got the basic idea though.

There was someone going in and putting tons of racial slurs and such, and then just deleted the whole thing at one point.

I've sent emails to the leaders of rough trade and gayme 0n. I'll wait and see what replies I get.

Rough trade has decided to be on Darkhaven for the weekend.

Well it was nice while it lasted, some idiot decided to totally ruin the document. :S

The document looks fine to me. It's cool though, you can see people changing it live.

This may help with any decisions that are made: Unofficial BWE3 Guild Server List

And the most recent part:

Okay folks, a headsup. Starfleet Dental has a new tactic, they create female non fleet toons, start to flirt with people and then invite them to their ship, where they will be a greeted by a gang of other dental folks... you can probably guess the rest. So make sure to put those @handles on the list on ignore!"

So yeah. Those of us rocking Caitians and Ferasans, be they Furry Fandom or otherwise can be aware of these, and anyone getting random ERP flirtations etc might want to be extra cautious. Especiaally if they go inviting you to their ship.

But the main thing when dealing with Goons. Do our best not to play their game or let them twist ours too much. Or they still get kicks from that as well.

Thankfully only an account for any Guild Launch forum. They seem to work across the different kinds.

I created one for a Caitian fleet that had alas fallen apart in the lull going Free To Play.

Essentially they give a few @ handles gained from the SomethingAwful forum. Although do remember that anything listed there could very well be mis-information. Used to create more grief just by existing to trick others:

"Since according to this thread ( http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3495038 ) the Goons/Starfleet Dental not only plan to grief people all day but also will try to get invites to other fleets (at times they have been successful) and rob their banks. I thought having a list of them might help. These are handles I got by searching in-game and in their forum, so best put all of them on ignore and maybe even pass on the link and the list to other fleets. From the looks of it they will be invading STO in large numbers pretty soon, so best be careful. And yes, they are that many, possibly even more.

By the way, if you set your specialFX to low in the options, you won't see a thing from the fire extinguishers. Under no circumstances talk back at them, because they aim to make you mad and curse at them, then report you, and you will get at least a warning for it. Another thing you can do is go to your teamsettings under privacy and set it so you are only visible to friends, that way they can't find you as easily if you are on DS9, Risa, wherever."

Fleets:

Imperial Revenue Service
Kdf Dental Hygiene
Shutup Wesley
Starfleet Dental
Starfleet Orthodentics

This is all from the Role Players forum. But yeah. Treat with skepticism but be wary of the above.

I love these guys. They make the world much less boring.


Edit: It's also worth noting that an account is required to view the RP forum thread, but the Goon forum thread is publicly viewable.

Really pathetic and sad, on their part, but good to know so that it can be avoided. I usually have everything but fleet chat turned off anyway.

Hi there.

Just saw a forum from STO RolePlayers Fleet giving a warning about planned increases in griefing and fleet thefts by Goonswarm.

Those of you with experience in EVE Online like myself or other old MMOs may well be familiar with the name Goonswarm.

Essentially they are a group who love getting their lulz by griefing others or doing anything possible to break games.
They have a forum post saying they want to target Role Players and "Furries" in STO. Primarilly using disruptive stuff like Fire Extinguishers etc in public areas and baiting people into raging enough that they can be reported.
They are also looking to get access to Fleet Banks and steal from them.

http://storp.guildlaunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8518114&gid=193886 this is the post on the STO RP forum.
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3495038 the post encouraging more griefing and ideas around STO.

Although these may not directly affect Stonewall the risk of asset theft is clear and I felt worth bringing up.
Might also be worth noting for those of us who like our Caitian or Ferasan. If we see this griefing around Drozana or DS9 etc then we are aware of their aim and hopefully how best to avoid feeding their kind of fun.
They are also looking for anyone who might enjoy their ERP and trying to grief those kinds especially. Upto and including inviting them to a ship only to face a bridge full of Goons who hassle the person who has gone there.

If nothing is sorted we can pick a temporary server to make sure we can all play without problems this weekend and decide a long term choice between now and launch.
