Hey all, I'm Tom, 40 years old, looking for more players (25+ years old preferred). This Meetup guild started in late March as a single static group & has grown to 20ish active players for different games and 50 in the discord quickly. We have a friends & family feel with players all over SD in North, South, East, & Central county. The group is a local connection hub for us to hang and meet in person when we can every few weeks & have an MMO many of us play be the glue.
We just finished playing Pantheon for a few months as the pace progression MMO and now are starting Project Ascenscion (Area 52 realm). Many are planning to play Monsters & Memories when beta opens early next year. There's also some people playing Everquest Online Adventures & a Final Fantasy XI group is starting up. We've had people play Dune Awakening, Everquest: The Hero's Journey, Everquest Project 1999,. A couple people have checked out Ashes of Creation Alpha 2. There is also an organized online board game Sunderfolk group going.
The pace progression game nights are done day of signing up by listing your character(s) you want to play and we hash out the groups before the sessions. This is a social game night for people that want to play 4-8 sessions a month. Some people may play other characters more and have a dedicated alt for the pace progression nights. Girls don't be shy, we have two female group members already and they'd love more female company! We have about 15-20 active players total and 10 actively playing Project Asenscion.
Here is our planned schedule (people still play outside these hours as well):
Schedule drop-in playtime:
Mondays 6:30-8:30pm
Fridays 7-9pm
Meetup:
Every other Sunday 5-7pm rotating through local bars with bar games, arcade bars, or gastropubs in central SD (Brewski's in Mira Mesa, Coin Haus in La Mesa etc.) We are always looking to add new fun venues in the rotation that are an easy enough drive for everyone.
We hash out the groups right before the sign-up sessions. Our goal would be to have a big enough pool, maybe 30-50 active players & 10+ show up per play day so we can mix & match 2 groups easily if not more down the road. We have time-limited players that only play during Monday and Friday sessions, and others than play 4+ days a week and play a dedicated alt with the time-limited players, level ahead on their other characters in a group.
We people that have played Panth, EQ, DAoC, WoW, FFXI, FFXVI, & New World. I live in North Park and moved here last June and I've been familiar with it for a long time visiting friends here for years, and it is now home to me.
The idea for the group is something relaxed and casual, and something to look forward to as a nice easy way to be social & have camraderie. I'd like to have people that have some roots down in San Diego so there is more room for some long friendships to form over time.
Some of us are playing Monsters & Memories test weekends and we welcome new people to come join. It is free to play you just need to make an account. We played the most recent public test in June. This is their discord.
Monster & Memories testing schedule:
July 23-27
Sept. 1-7
Nov. 1-10
About me, I live in North Park and moved here one year ago and I've been familiar with it for a long time visiting friends here for years, and it is now home to me.
Here's my rap sheet:
- Everquest L60 Shaman during Velious
- Dark of Age of Camelot once during the original L40 Troll Thane Midgard
- second time private server during Covid mained L50 Pac Healer Midgard & Bonedancer, also L50 Supp Runemaster
- Orignal WoW L30 Shaman
- Tried Guild Wars 2, ESO, FFXI, BDO, couldn't get into them
- I always like other Fantasy games like Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre etc.
I'm a pretty relaxed guy want the group to have a welcoming culture where everyone is just happy to hang. Outside games I'd say my personality is like half nerd, half jock, and some goth kid (anyone else have a Thursday or The Used phase?) on the inside. I fiddle around on guitar, watch some Latin American streamers to not totally forget the Spanish I've learned over the years. Intermediate surfer that hasn't surfed much lately, used to play basketball in high school, snowboarded a bit in college in Colorado, longboard skateboarding stuff like that. I've got a spotify playlist I've been building for years with 46 hours of songs of all types. I'd like to get into playing tennis more to keep in shape. I go for walks and to the cafe to read, been pretty low key easy going lately.
My top artists over years I have always come back to are The Smiths, Mac Miller, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, Nirvana, 311, Rebelution, At The Drive In, Modest Mouse, Interpol
Artists I've found lately (country kick recently it seems): Sam Barber, Zach Bryan, Gavin Adock, Treaty Oak Revival, Thundercat, Men I Trust
Lived in: Chicago, Orange County, Boulder, Denver, Santa Barbara, Houston, DC
Travelled to a dozen countries across Latin America, Asia, & Europe
