Hi all,
here is a constructive attempt to bring some new people to the game.
It needs active help from many of us - as long as we exist here ... I think it is necessary if we dont want to extinct in a short time.
We should organize a regularly run, where 3-4 experienced players carry 1-2 new players, explaining the game and leaving drops, maybe already owned items to them if they seem to be worth it at a jour-fixe weekly.
The jour-fixe should be every thursday evening at 18:30 of these local time points.
Because we live in different time zones, a US and a European point of time is the choice.
Every player willing to join should just hang around scanning the players online and be active to organize the runs, if enough pros and ofc at least 1 newb shows up. if you can find someone to join as a newb, bring him/her !
Clans could write this to theire webpages, joining players or at least supporters of this could carry a message in the personal profile and underneath the message as a fix text.
Something short, invitating and giving the necessary facts.
Ideas how to make this better are welcome, if we could make it start a regularly event, the jour-fixe gets better known and will draw new players to our game, open new markets, teach that helping and sharing is fun.
If you accord to this :
Be there next thursday and wait at least from 18:30 until 19:00 of your local time - and resist a full run of experienced players.
Write into your profile etc. about this.
Be willing to run 4 hours for 1 GP and select what you can give away.
Show that you are a person of deed, not talk.
Hope to see many,
Verdun
