WHAT TO DO AT LV 20 WITH 500CM?
I have been thinking about this lately.
As I feel a few of our rank are approaching this dreadful area.
I will assume that when you reach your max CM for a level your CM % will be set back at 0 until you ding.
Now therein lies my quandry.
The guild rocks.
I don't want to raise our level cap.
I don't want to lose our great guildies.
What do I do....
Option one is to have Vertivally Challenged II created witha cap of lv 24 when we get 4 members to 20 with 500CM.
But now they aren't in guild.
We could request that they make new charcters, but I believe that to be incredibly unfair.
So fellow guildies, I ask you, what should WE do?

That is a tough call.... We could probably do something like a "vertically challenged ELITE" like you mentioned. Since we organize all our gatherings here for the most part, it will be easy enough to keep the two in touch.. as well as buddy lists.

Re: WHAT TO DO AT LV 20 WITH 500CM?
Characters can only earn 500 CM points at level 20? I didn't know that. What happens at 500 (I mean with the character's training points, not their place in the guild)?
I don't see why there needs to be a new guild, really. Why not just keep the "Go 100% CM at 20" rule, then after max CM let toons level to 21, then it's back to 100% CM at 21. (and so on and so forth.)
Personally, I have only earned/spent 55 CM points, and I only know of 80 more than I absolutely want to use. I can't imagine how long it would take to get to 500...

Re: WHAT TO DO AT LV 20 WITH 500CM?
What about selling some of your CM's back to 'delete' the points and then buying it back? Won't that reset your max count so that you can earn more?
Have not really done much with CM's so I don't know if that will work or not.
Dearme, your friendly Druid.

Re: WHAT TO DO AT LV 20 WITH 500CM?
Have we really had a level 20 hit 500cms? One of the things I noticed early in the guild's history was some members were ignoring Dav's recommendation to "have fun" with their character design. Instead, people were trying to build the best X they could at level 17/20 and didn't want to waste Mastery Points on useless stuff.
Until we have members complaining that there are absolutely NO masteries available to them, we shouldn't consider raising the level cap. The higher the level, the more difficult it will be for new members to jump into the action.
This guild has always been about a different way of thinking. It's not about having the rarest gear, being the best tank/melee/caster/healer, or hitting the level cap first; it's about dying a lot and a FUN vacation from the periodically stale content of the usual Everquest.
This guild was a breath of fresh air at a time when the content did get stale for me. I had just returned from a two month hiatus from the game and had resumed leveling my Troll Warrior. I think a game should be fun, and grinding one camp for hours at a time gets old real fast.
I made a buddy on my Troll who was an ogre warrior, and we spent countless hours dual-tanking at Castle Felstar. We didn't dread adds, we welcomed them. It added tension as we pummeled our way through skellie after skellie, sometimes it seemed as though they never stopped. This was FUN. This is the same fun that exists when VC members are dropping like flies fighting slagbreath or trudging our way through a gob cave.
If our levels get much higher, we will have to start raiding content frequented by usual EQOAers or search really hard to find some out of the way place. I know I've ranted, but I want the guild's concept to remain pure. Just consider me a disciple of Davlannan.

Re: WHAT TO DO AT LV 20 WITH 500CM?
I thought I heard someone mention the other night that they had all their CM's, I thought it hard to belive but definately possible.
I also do not want the level raised for all the same reasons that have been mentioned here.
So I think dearme has the best solution, sell back some of the masteries you have earned to maintain level 20.
I think by doing this, you may be able to try out different "styles" of your charcter as well.
Thanks for helping to put my mind at ease!
