Title: Alt-night? Post by: Venkman on February 20, 2006, 12:35:35 PM So it's Tazelbain's turn to propose DKP :evil:
Just kidding. He was wondering (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=5981.0) about a night for Alts. Since this was tazel's idea, this is his ball to carry :) But I figured we could get started with a thread... because we don't have enough: I was wondering since most of us are alt-o-holics and we have many new players joining, maybe we should have severall game nights with each one for different ranges. Soukyan also mentioned having less time in game than he'd like so not thinking about playing an alt as much. And finally, I wouldn't mind rolling a Conjuror alt to check it out.So, anyone interested in picking a 1-2 hour period once a week strictly to play Alts? Again, no set agenda, no DKP, no formality at all. We're a group of sufficient size to have sub-groups of interests. Title: Re: Alt-night?

Title: Re: Alt-night? Post by: tazelbain on February 20, 2006, 12:55:36 PM My idea isn't alt vs. mains, it's level ranges.
So, like Monday night would be teens night and we could go do something with our 13-19 chars. Wednesday could be early 20s and Friday would be late 20s, early 30s. Maybe at some point we can shift the nights, to reflect what people are playing. For example. Title: Re: Alt-night? Post by: Velorath on February 20, 2006, 04:48:16 PM I don't think this really needs to be organized, although it might help to know what characters everyone is playing. If you log on and there are a few people in their 20's on and you have a character in that level range, than go with that character. With the group we had going yesterday we just switched around characters as needed.
Title: Re: Alt-night? Post by: tazelbain on February 21, 2006, 08:15:53 AM I knew this idea probably wouldn't work, I was just throwing it out there.
I am trying to think of a way to make things more inclusive and I don't think mentoring down is a long term solution, but having schedules isn't very inclussive either. Title: Re: Alt-night? Post by: Venkman on February 21, 2006, 09:53:41 AM I agree that mentoring isn't a long term solution. It's good on a case-by-case basis, but you really want a dedicated group of people who keep themselves within a certain level range.
Some buddies from SWG play WoW this way. They play once a week as a group (some members are off playing other characters other times) ensuring they are always within groupable range of each other. Back in EQ1, my guild had an "Alt Night" where they did the same thing. That's not necessarily "hardcore" (after almost a year, they're only in their 30s). It's just "dedicated". It's sort of the PnP approach to MMOGs, which can work as long as people are having fun and following the rules. The more organic approach to playing is often tied to the need for soloing :) |
