Does OTG plan on participating? The open beta starts July 1.

There is talk on the OTG Discord that some people are planning to play. There is a Discord channel already created for it under the General Games category.

We had pretty much settled on Rivervale but that server has been apparently designated as an unofficial Role Play server so over in discord we’re debating whether or not to change our choice. Pop in and give your 2 cents!

Looks like we’re going with Rivervale after all (I keep wanting to type Riverdale lol) and see how it goes during beta. If it’s not great, we can choose a different server for live release on the 28th. More info will be posted once we know more!

Like Mankrik in WoW: Dammit, Blizzard, just call it “Mankirk” like all the rest of us do! 😃

I’m going to call it “Riverdale” anyway and keep looking for Archie and the gang.

The beta is underway. You need to be in game at the same time as a guild officer to get a guild invite, so your best bet is to head to discord and request an invite in the Everquest Legends discord channel. Also if you take too long to accept it will time out and the officer has to send another invite so be on your toes!

I was in Beta-although not in Rivervale. Going with a Pal/Bard/Berzerker or Pal/Bard/Enchanter.
Like to be in a guild on Rivervale. Not sure who to talk with. Pandemon (Garthyr)

The game goes live on July 28 and we can request guild access then. We are planning on staying on Riverdale unless there’s some weird thing like the servers have different names or something.
