Some of us were talking recently of alting to game with guildies more, and that conversation led us to talking about a alt group and the catch is that we can only play these alts in a group with each other.
Aberrant : Cleric Bacchus : Grok : Gladiator Saia : Slurms : Templar Valefar : Sorcerer Zeli : Assassin Zevon : Chanter
Second group started. NEED 4 MORE FOR 2 FULL GROUPS
Only sign up if you can be dedicated to be part of the groups.
It's a grind group. We're not questing through areas.
You cannot level the character without the group. -EDIT: Now that there is additional interest, if someone misses a night and their spot is filled, you can obviously catch up. This rule is meant to say that people shouldn't be fluffing their levels beyond the group.
We start at level 10 next week in Verteron.
Currently we're thinking Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 9PM EST.
SECOND GROUP IS STARTING TO FILL IN. SIGN UP AND TELL US YOUR ALT CLASS YOU'LL BE PLAYING.

What's everyones thoughts on twice a week? Tuesdays and Thursdays? We could plan on playing for an hour(ish). Meet up on vent at 9pm or just before, and then login when everyone is present. If someone doesnt show, we go do our own thing and skip that day. Having to days to do this would do more to guarantee that we get group time at least once a week, and help move these characters along a bit faster. ;D

I'm good for twice a week as well. Thursdays are a bit dicey for me as My wife is usually out til about 9:30, my daughter is usually cooperative by 8:30pm to 9pm so I should be fine, just the odd night where she may be cranky and I won't get on till 9:30pm.

This is a really cool idea! As of this post the first group is already full and I am just posting to say I made a vow when I purchased Aion - no alts until my main hits max level. You see, I am a recovering altaholic. I have issues that I am trying to overcome (2 level 80's, 2 level 70's and a myriad of other toons in WoW). So, I am staying strong. Have fun! I wouldn't be surprised is a 2nd group pops up, this one filled up in one morning.

I was just thinking about this last night! I think it's a great idea and if a second group gets started I'd love to join up.
Edit: I forgot to post what class. I've already got a level 10 Templar just sitting around. So I'll tank (probably horribly) if it's needed.

It seems a little contrary to some of the core guild ideals in that it is exclusive rather than inclusive given that it is one group with only 6 people and only those 6 people will level together on that day. I realize it is only a couple of days a week, but perhaps a restructuring similar to the post Zeli had before Aion launched about who would be taking what classes so we could fill groups would allow for more people to participate. For example, I'd like to participate but I can't because I wasn't one of the first people to respond so I'm out of the original six and on top of that I will be starting the whole moving process next week and won't be on consistently until I'm back on the ground in the US later this month. I don't expect a group to wait on me, but I also don't like knowing that I'm excluded specifically because of that.
However, I also realize it would be good to kind of get a feel for who is going to be on when with a good enough class balance to get some stuff going.
So, here's my proposal:
Instead of having set groups, have timezone groups, and the first 6 on are in first. The others can piddle about and stay within a level or two, thus still being able to contribute when they are in the group.
Us west coasters can have one, same with the east coasters. Everyone can participate if they want without having to have a set roster, which would help everyone play with different members consistently.
Edit: Much the same as the server time zones, the west vs. east really only changes when events are likely to happen. If you live on the east coast and want to play late, hang out with the west coast group, or vice versa.
