kodoz Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 This has been suggested time after time, and then said would happen, but never seems to get farther than that. Its the trade event Idea. The following are the main recruitment hotspots, and if anyone is willing to help make this happen please post. We will need crafters, collectors, recruiters, and fighters. Helping people out gives a great impression on our guild and our people. The current best hotspots, in order of best to least, are Haven, Umbra, Luna, and Britain. We should set up tables and act like vendors either giving away items or selling them at an easily affordable price to a young player. I prefer giving away for free, but this may or may not be the consensus. Our Crafters should all bring beetles, and have tools handy. The collectors should bring any excess or unwanted items they have collected and give them out to the young players. The recruiters would be mingling and chatting with our customers. The fighters would be 1vs1 fighters, mages, and tamers, to show the types of people and the battle savvy that PGoH can give to its members. Please post any comments, thoughts, complaints, suggestions, questions, or proposals on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwen Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I'd like to help out on this whenever my job will allow me the time. One suggestion is to make a pack for the young players containing a weapon, armor, aids, a few potions and a few repair deeds. I would also say put a book in there with recruiter pigeon numbers in it and how to join the guild. Might be a good idea to give them a runebook with a rune to a city and one to Olympus.

kodoz Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 Thats a good idea. We could also set up some kinds of games to run and give away prizes. We could give out the bags at the end, so they have a good amount of interperson contact. Any other ideas/thoughts/suggestions/proposals/complaints/comments?

ballyn5768 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Let me know when and where, I can bring GM smith and would be willing to give up some ingots for the cause. Also as Decurion, I would be happy to use my pigion to answer all their questions. Again great idea now it is time to act on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Wind Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I believe GoL runs a helpdesk weekly targeted to new players. They used to run it in Haven, but have recently moved it to their Malas home. The problem with Haven was it brought out griefers in mass amounts at times. People that just basically wanted to be asses and made things harder on everybody. Umbra would be a good bet becuase of all the young players that start as necromancers. Luna has a good amount of new and old players. Brit could be a hassle due to lag. Another idea, do it in the PGoH City or at Olympus. Less chance of lag and people could be gated there from the other 4. Wouldn't hurt to talk with GoL and see how their help desk is going. Possibly run our event in conjunction with thiers. Might benefit both guilds that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodoz Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 err...PGoH Olympus sometimes lags more than the west brit bank...and when i meant to recruit at britain, specifically the graveyard. Plenty of young players go there to build up skills, in fact i took around 6 of them to shame with me and talked to them about the guild as i helped them work together. So far ive gotten 2 of those 6 on my icq now, and will tell you when or if they decide to join. But yes, Umbra and Luna are best bets. And I think we should plan this perhaps this saturday? how would that work out? id still like to hear from others as well, so post whats on your mind!

Elathiel Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 All of these ideas are exceelent and really should be carried out. When we do this, count me in for free bow repairs and handing out free gm repair tickets. Working up a scribe as well, so I could probably get a good amount of recall scrolls together also.

Earwen Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I'm not sure if I can make this upcoming Saturday due to work but I am off the next 2 Saturdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodoz Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 Does next saturday sound better to you all? it would give us some time to get ready for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwen Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Next Saturday would be better for me plus we need to make sure what we are going to do and get everyone on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elathiel Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 We should wait until next Saturday. This gives us much more time to make sure we have enough of everything for our 1st one and gives enough time to have it announced on Stratics to make sure as many people as possible know all about us, err the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 A little note on Haven. Holding the event at the Haven Bank would indeed attract greifers, however, there is a spot that we can use in Haven. At the north western end of the city is a marble patio house placed in city limits. What most dont remember is that this was the Companion Guild house whn we were still an officially run program. We could base ourselves out of this and have members roaming haven, brining young players to th event. It is seculded enough to avoid mass amounts of greifers but still acually in the city of haven so Young players can find us. Just an idea for a good spot.
