Hello there!
I am known as Swan, or Duck on Hex Droid.
It's a fun albeit busy server, couldn't have found a better one. (but it's full so don't join! ) After a long talk on the general chat in Dormund Kaas I decided I wanted to help people.
So I came up with an idea, a server driven initiative where players can make themselves available for others to just ask, or have fun. Essentially newbies, helping other newbies, because we're all new now. I think it would greatly speed up not only server progression as a whole but also make this a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
It's for the basic questions like where do I respec, or where do I buy my mounts.
Or hey how about a pvp match, or flashpoint. Some of us came into this game with some friends, others went in alone. It's a good way of meeting others.
I would also like this to be a way for the players on this server to truly become a community. A fun community.
So what I am asking is this, who on Hex Droid wants to join in fill out the following template. This is in no way a guild by the way. While I will be in one soon, the guild will not be a helpdesk, nor will this be. It is intended as a way to ask simple questions, and to get to know each other.
Character name(s),
Faction,
Beta experience,
Up for group play,
Up for random questions,
Up for warzone, and flashpoint grouping,
Preferred language, English
Below is mine filled in with some notes,
Character name(s), Swan, and Duck (List characters you don't mind to be contacted on)
Faction, Empire (Self explanatory)
Beta experience, No (It is good to know, because you will generally have more know-how if you have played)
Up for group play, Yes, on occasion (Up for questing with others in groups, or doing heroic quests)
Up for random questions, Anytime, when I am not in a pvp match. (One of the main goals for this is to help people, this usually means asking questions, even stupid ones, often. Before you say yes, think hard.)
Up for warzone, and flashpoint grouping, Yeah totally. (What is says, in for premade pvp, or pve stuff go right ahead and say so.)
Preferred language, English (What language do you prefer to help others in)
Now there will be people who will argue that this is a guild that I am trying to make, and that I should. It is not my goal to do this, you should understand that a guild is a group of people who actively progress through the game with each other, unified under a guild.
What I am trying to do is to help others outside of the guilds, and to have an extra route of creating friends, or having pre made pvp/pve groups. Without cluttering the channels to much. Some guilds are inactive when you are not, it's good to have someone in your friends list to play around with. And if nothing else you will get to know people you would otherwise have not.
I would like to see this spread to other servers as well, the only thing I ask is you at least mention the original initiative.
