    I really want to see that group... I hope that we get more interest this time, as some quality Oblivion/Morrowind builds would be great (Hell, the builds out there are just "Use that, that and that, you're a paladin blahblahblah do the dark brotherhood)

    Hi, Billy Mays here for support!  My interest level is at an 11; that's because I like to go one step further.  My journey with the Elder Scrolls dates back to when Morrowind first came out.  I enjoyed everything I did, even when I failed miserably.  Skyrim would never have been in my gaming collection if I didn't start out slaying Cliff Racers with the power of my fists and finished them off with the custom-made Oxiclean spell!

    I will never forget Cliff Racers... even with the Boots of Blinding Speed, they outran me. You're right- Morrowind will never truly leave my gaming circulation. I am glad that you are as enthused as I about this group, and I really hope that enough other people are just as excited.

    Exactly. It was the same with Skyrim before we introduced the Character Building group, and I expect even greater things with the custom classes and better roleplaying potential.

    I would enjoy a group like this. I can only imagine the type of character building done on this site done for Oblivion (Especially seeing as you can create classes).

    I'm glad that you want this group. Could you please like this page so that the group will be closer to getting started?

    This question is aimed at anybody qualified to make a group- how many people do we need in order to actually carry out this plan?

    I wanted to let you know that this post has not been ignored. It is a topic of consideration in the 'Grey Council'. I think you'll know something by the end of next week at the very latest.

    First of all, "Grey Council" sounds like some sort of evil organization. :-) Anyways, I have narrowed this down to just the gameplay of these games, as the Blog does not cover that. If you think I should narrow it down further, please let me know. Thank you guys for your time and help.

    I've been using that phrase for the admins for some time now... I borrowed the phrase from a scifi show called Babylon 5... Link.

    I knew I heard it somewhere! I have always been a scifi fan- Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Doctor Who. etc.

    This is basically just a shameless bump, as this discussion has gotten buried and I need more responses.

    Why don't you update the OP with anything the idea has grown to include, to make sure everyone is on the same page.

    Thanks for the enthusiasm. If you want this group, though, I would really appreciate a like. :-)

    Actually, I was told to make this idea smaller. If there is anything that you believe this group should include, please tell me.

    Yeah, more clarity is what I'm missing, on what exactly the group would entail.

    Hi again!  I got the idea to actually play Morrowind again and post a thread on that experience.  Maybe when that happens, you could link that as an example of what could be a part of the new group idea?

    Great idea! Can you please PM me that link beforehand?

    Yeah, I can do that.  I'll have to add you first.

    Good news chaps!

    It's been decided that this group can be made, at least on a trial basis. To enable this to be actioned we will now need to have:

    1. A decent descriptive name for the group

    2. At least one (possibly more, but one will probably suffice) group host (to run the group). I am assuming that the LordArch Canon is willing?

    The group will be made on a trial basis. If it works well, and there is a steady stream of activity then it will certainly stick around. But if it dies a death in short order, then it will be removed. So you need to think of ways to attract active members and keep things lively!

    I have offered to 'oversee' the group on behalf of the Admin team. I WON'T be running it for you! But I'll be on hand to help with the mechanics of setting up the group, and add my (not inconsiderable) expertise in group management on the site.

    Well done, your persistence has paid off - and we look forward to seeing you develop the idea.

    Thank you! I am, of course, willing to host this group. I am still thinking about names- if anybody has suggestions, please post!
