Introducing Pocket

2004.8.13

Ubi Forum で Pocket の紹介をしてきました. 以下その本文と日本語訳.


Hi all,

I think it is about time to introduce our guild Pocket.

We are an independent guild/nation on ice consisting of about 10 active members. Personally I used to be a QP member for about 3 weeks before forming Pocket in April. For the first month and a half or so, Pocket was a nation member of YE'S until YE'S capital fell on June 10. While some of the guilds of YE'S nation decided to build Force nation, Pocket decided to go independent; Pocket has been independent since then. That's our history.

The members of Pocket are all Japanese at the moment. It's not that we refuse non-Japanese members, but we value fun conversation so much that one has to be fluent in Japanese before becoming a Pocket member. I know the language barrier is a big problem in an international game like SB. And in any case we are not recruiting members anymore in the usual sense. Mutual trust is at the foundation of our guild, and I cannot manage it if our guild gets bigger. :(

Our town is located on the south coast of the ice land. If you have visited our town, you know that we are basically a farming guild. We have all the trainers (except warrior and thief trainers which are mostly covered by others), as well as various kinds of R7 venders in R7 buildings. And if you have seen how we hunt mobs, you know how we earned the money to build our town. Yes, we like farming. :)

Our trainers and venders are primarily for ourselves, but they are kept open to those who are friendly to us, with 10% profit on all trainers. You can keep using our facilities as long as you do not become aggressive inside of our town walls. That way people from nearby guilds like Force, Braialla's Wrath, Ascension, DessertDiver, QP as well as people with NPC tag and others come to our town and enjoy training and shopping peacefully even if they are enemies to each other outside our town. However, if you belong to one of the RPK guilds, the chances are you are already KOS of us. ;) As I said, we are a farming gild and not running our town for profit. So please don't bother us by sending random summon requests.

Now concerning about war, GvG, PvP and such, since we cannot risk our town, we try not to become involved in any political movements in the E server. That's why we have no alliance agreements with any guild; all we have is friendship with nearby guilds through services we provide.

However as SB players, we are interested in occasional PvP and GvG affairs. While we never attack people without reason, if we are attacked we usually try our best to fight back, especially when we are leveling in RoC. So if you are an RPK guild looking for a fun fight and see us in RoC, you are welcomed to attack us. :) Since we are not a specialized military guild, don't expect too much from us though.

Finally, Pocket doesn't have a website at the moment. But I have my personal website with SB diary.

Although it is all written in Japanese, you might find some screenshots interesting.

See you in game.

P.S. To DA guys, the fight we had last night in RoC was a great fun. You guys are so good at GvG and hard to beat though. :)

こんにちはみなさん,

そろそろギルド Pocket の紹介をしたらいいころかな.

私たちは雪国の中立ギルドでアクティブメンバー10人ぐらいです.個人的には,4月に Pocket を設立する前までの3週間ほどは QP のメンバー.Pocket の最初の1ヶ月半ぐらいは YE'S 連立国家所属だったけど6月10日に YE'S 首都陥落.その後 YE'S のいくつかのギルドは Force 国家設立したんだけど,Pocket は独立することに.そしていままで独立のまま.歴史はこんなところ.

Pocket のメンバーはいまのところ全員日本人.日本人以外排除というつもりはないんだけど,何より楽しい会話が重要なんで,メンバーという前に日本語必要なんです.SB みたいな国際的なゲームでは言語の壁が大問題ですよね.いずれにしてもすでに普通の意味でのメンバー募集はすでに行っていません.私たちのギルドはメンバー間の相互信頼で成り立っているんだけど,これ以上人が増えるとそこんとこうまくできなくなっちゃう.

街は雪国の南岸にあります.街に来たことがあれば,私たちがシムギルドだってわかるはず.全部のトレーナー(ただし他でほぼカバーされる Warrior と Thief トレーナーは除く)に各種 R7 ベンダーが入った R7 建物群.そして私たちが狩りしてるところを見たことがあれば,どうやってそのための金を稼いだのかもわかるはず.はい,お金稼ぎ大好きです.

トレーナーとベンダーはそもそも自分たちのために作ったものだけど,友好的な人なら誰でも利用できるようにしてあります.トレーナーの利益は 10% 設定.街で他人を攻撃をしないというのさえ守ってもらえたら,誰でも街の施設を使ってもらってかまいません.ということで Force, Braialla's Wrath, Ascension, DessertDiver, QP に NPC タグの人,その他の人達が街にやってきます.中には一歩街を出ると互いに敵という場合もありますが,平和にトレーニングや買物をしていきます.ただし,もしあなたが RPK ギルド所属だったらすでに Pocket の KOS になってる可能性大です.私たちは狩りしてお金稼ぎはするけど,施設や生産で金儲けするつもりはありません.だからメンバーに勝手なサモン要請はしないで下さい.

さて,戦争とか GvG とか PvP とかなんですが,街を危険にさらすわけにはいかないので,できるかぎり E 鯖の政治動向には関わらないように務めています.だからどのギルドとも同盟を結んでいません.あるのは街のサービスを通じての近隣ギルドとの友好関係だけです.

でも SB をプレイする者として,時々 PvP や GvG 戦をやることには興味を持ってはいます.理由なくこちらから他人を攻撃することは決してしませんが,攻撃された場合,とくに RoC でのレベリング中に攻撃された場合はたいてい全力で攻撃仕返すことにしています.だからもしあなたが RPK ギルドで RoC で戦闘を楽しむ相手を捜しているときに私たちを見かけたら,喜んで戦闘の相手しますよ.ただし,戦闘特化のギルドじゃないので,あまり期待されても応えられないかもしれませんが.

最後に,Pocket は今のところウェブサイトがありません.でも SB 日記を含む私個人のサイトはあります.

全部日本語で書かれていますが,スクリーンショットぐらいは見たら楽しいかも.

ではゲームでお会いしましょう.
