Title: What's an aventurer to do?
Post by: jadewillow on October 18, 2012, 10:52:37 pm

Many of us have lamented recently about the waning of players IG these days. Use to be we could hop on and within 30 minutes find 2 or 3 like minded adventures that we could go out and explore with. Now a days seems the few that are on are involved in crafting or some other endeavor and not readily available for said adventuring. With such a colorful world seems a shame not to explore. So what is an adventurer to do?

1.   Solo : Is not nearly as fun and is darn dangerous ?
2.   Attend GM Quests : Probably a personal issue, but RL schedule has made this very difficult in recent times.
3.   Make it happen with player events : Thank you to Chazzler and Chongo (in the past) for doing this so well. I wish more would/could do this including myself.

Are there other options? Technical feasibility aside, would a scheduling tool (either IG or on the web site), where players could sign up and tell everyone when they would be available for adventuring be helpful. Just a thought, but would welcome the discussion.

Gotta have a reason to want to log in. Things are too stagnant right now. Lets hope for an infusion of enthusiasm from the player base when the update gets here.

Also seeing less folks on as we approach fall and holidays, etc.  Random meets are getting harder for sure; really have to set something up in advance.  Could be a simple/spontaneous forum post like "I'll be on in three hrs to run around a bit; meet at Mirtrix."  Or you could do it more formal and also use the calendar if you wanted to plan it a few days in advance.  A reoccurring event/time to gather might work too if you can find a few folks to agree on a favorable time-frame (the Angels used to get a good group on doing this).

I know, not much help right  :D

I am planning on a dangerous trip to the Shadow Temple on Belinara, next Sunday. :)

Right. Focus on one character so he gets high enough level to actually come along.
Well.
That an the time.
