Sekk's Preliminary Outline re: Upcoming Project for TESO

I've had a new project mulling around in my head for a while now and I've decided to go "all-in" and see if I can't make it work, this time.  I will write up better details in the near-future, but for now here is my preliminary outline (basically a copy of what I've emailed to my folks):

Couple of things to FYI:  

Since TESO is basically DAOC2, I'm going to take Waelwulfas out of mothballs, with some changes:

     1.  It will be AvA only (explained below).

     2.  Therefore, it will be Ebonheart Pact only.

     3.  It will be open only to Werewolves (for obvious reasons that fit perfectly w/this game and the lore and the history of WW).

     4.  I'm going to place WW under the Gaiscioch Tuatha system.

     5.  Gaiscioch is pronounced "gosh-kee-ya" (crazy celt language).

     6.  Joining the Tuatha means that I should have access to the Gaiscioch website support system (plus community tools, like calendar, event planning, etc) and get done what I've always wanted to get done, without having to figure out how to build a special website for it.

     7.  As a result, Gaiscioch will become the core community for everyone in WW.  GSCH is an open-community that is specifically designed for exactly what I am outlining here, so its a nice solid base to build from.  Foghladah takes a lot of pride in his Tuatha system, he is itching to rebuild it (we could not use it in GW2 due to game design) and I aim to take advantage of it.

 

Finally,  Waelwulfas.org will become a (commercial) website focusing on "Siege Warfare" types of games, which is a natural fit because WW has its roots in that type of game.  Earlier this year, I moved it to Siteground, which is cheaper (currently) and designed to support more of what I want to do.  I've just been procrastinating on doing anything, until I recently put all of this together.

 

This will take a while to implement, so I am shooting for May/June.

(Yea, I didn't really explain the "AvA-only" part, but the tl;dr is the idea that WW roams Cyrodiil like a wolf-pack, much like we did in the Frontier lands of Dark Age of Camelot.  WW became a DAoC legend because of that.)

Ok, so there is a lot of history and lore behind Waelwulfas, equal to (at the least), Gaiscioch.  I will eventually write all of this up, but as folks may imagine, it will take a considerable amount of time.  For example, Waelwulfas was one of the first RvR guilds in the world, it was created on DAoC launch day and on the 2nd day we were camping the Frontier gates of Hybernia on Gawaine, and we owned them for several hours, until they finally got enough players to rush out and overcome us.  (Maybe the 1st zerg?  LOL)

A lot of history.

So, if any family members are planning to play a Werewolf, find this interesting and would like to become involved, please feel welcome and let me know.  Its a lot to do by myself, so I am definitely open to help and ideas, especially from anyone who spent a lot more time w/PTS than I did.

More details to follow in the coming weeks.

Count me in Sek! If I ever get my leveling on (hopefully I can make some progress Fri/Sat) I plan on becoming a werewolf XD

I can't be active everyday but I'll do my best to get on when you plan on running.

I'm not the werewolf type but I think it's an exciting idea and will /cheer you all on from the side lines!

Sounds like it's going to be a hot summer for the Ebonheart Pack with Waelwulfas on the prowl!

Havent decided yet if I will turn to being a WW. I am a Tank focused DK so it, from a min/max kinda way plays well into my play style. I have to come up with a good backstory first.

This is something i would love to do long-term, once i have maxed out my main. It sounds fantastic.

Now I have to build a hairy Nord... Argh!

Its great to see interest.  Please keep in mind that this is not going to be an immediate thing, because while I do have Waelwulfas created and reserved, its going to take a bit to get everything in order.  

I also have Sekkerhund reserved with a placeholder, but I have not actually gotten around to creating and leveling him yet.  On the plus side, I'm using the Zygor leveling guides, so its not going to be a "fumble my way around looking for quests" kind of leveling deal.

The plan is to first bring in interested Family and Tuatha, get the ball rolling, then start bringing in other players from the EHP, so I do plan on opening it up to the interested public.  I'm hoping for end of month to at least get started, if I can get my RL priorities wrapped up in the next couple of weeks and get Sekk leveled and infected.

Just an update to FYI that this project is still planned, in progress and pretty much on track with what I've anticipated time-wise.

Of note:   Its come to my attention that both Werewolf and Vampire skills are badly bugged, I've been seeing bug-report posts stating that the skill lines are badly broken and have been since PTS, so I'm monitoring those for weight of accuracy and Dev responses.

Cool. Keep us posted Sekk as I'm still very much interested :)

i dont think my nightblade archer or my nightblade tank will be werewolf but because of this idea i will likely be making some sort of khajit healing werewolf type, like a werewolf shaman im thinking, and ill call it Scarydrew Catdog
