I really enjoyed our first official meet and greets!
IanJames, my list of topics were:
Ask everyone about their interest in the thunt cross shard competitions - the interest is definitely there so we'll add some thunt practice dates soon. The only real issue is Siege cannot character copy to Test Center so we need to prepare with suits ect ahead of time.
Discuss a Historical Society and point out it has been added to the Wedding Coordinator house next door - currently there are no townships or historical home banners which we plan to change together
Discuss a possible tour of homes and places unique to Siege - there are so many unique locations that I am not aware of on Siege and would like to get familiar with
Discuss the ongoing Story Arc - Siege is currently up to date and the plan is to use this storyline to encourage other community events. For example, Alrdic has been mentioned and would like to come out of his old age retirement to train his own motley crew to assist in protecting towns from invasions.
Ask about interest in New Magincia project (gardening) - this does not include any huge plans for revamping the town. It is simply to engage those who enjoy gardening to invest their time in New Magincia
Making use of the current EM related halls:
EM Reward Hall - the Reward Hall has been turned over to me to put to good use with events
EM Counselor Guild Hall - Many thanks to Mesanna for the new decorations
Gate to Serpent's Hold - this gate was explained as an alternate area to meet with players since the Britain Castle is a faction area
EM home outside of Britain - after discussing this home with Mesanna and where to better focus my efforts right now, she helped me move the items to the EM Reward Hall to create an area there that focuses on townships and historical homes. While you will notice the house is gone, it does not mean that area can not be put to use in the future. The Reward Hall will see a redesign that I hope will benefit everyone more, is not part of a faction town and will create a more social area since we have more plans for that area. If you look at other shard Halls, you will notice a lot more detail and planning to make good use of that space. I hope you all agree once you see it
The feedback given to me Saturday was related to:
Event ideas from players (player escort event, pvp thunt event, arena fights, hub pub)
The arena outside of Wrong is gone
Providing a gate to the Occlo Arena
Address how Covetous points are being used on Siege and how it affects the play style on our shard
My own motto regarding Siege:
Siege is not separate, just different in a good way.
