Getting Organized for Head Start
So the servers go live tomorrow (2/24) at 10:00 AM PST.
We need to decide on how we're going to keep in touch with each other before the guild is set up so we can gather the charter signers, etc.
The best and recommended option is to use Mumble, there's a link in the sidebar that will let you know how to connect to the server. Even if you don't have a mic you could utilize Mumble's text features to get yourself in a group.
Just to be thorough I will also make a post here in which I will encourage people to post their character names once they've created them and are in-game. We can use this list to get a raid group going.
kuzc00 informs me that Rift chat does indeed support user-made chat channels. When you get in-game tomorrow click the + Icon on the chat window and enter the channel "redditkarma". This should prove an easy way to get us in touch in-game.
What time do people plan to get in-game? Unfortunately I won't be able to get in-game tomorrow until about 4pm EST (3 hours after the servers are scheduled to go live). While it would give me great joy to be there the moment <Karma> is created if someone is anxious to get the ball rolling ASAP tomorrow feel free to step up in this post.
I made it! Yes!
Edit: It's looking more and more like I'll be around right at launch after all. Hooray!

You can create a chat channel in game just by clicking the little '+' icon on the chat window.
Just name the channel to whatever and you'll join/create it.
Someone who starts at launch time want to make channel "reddit" for us to join?
Thanks for the info kuzc, I'm going to add this to the post.
How do you exactly talk in that channel?
It's usually /# Hello, where # is the channel number. I think default is 4 channels when you start out.
