The last month or 2 I have been so busy handling my own affairs I haven't given the channel the attention it would need to grow. At first this channel was to be more of a private channel of friends that I enjoyed grouping with. Now as time has passed and many self debates I have decided that I want to change the dynamics of this channel.
It's hard to be in control of a channel, as you have to be the good guy that lets people in, and the bad guy at the same time to deny the players you think just don't make the cut. Such is life I guess. It can be complicated to figure out who gets along with who, who is a great player with a bad personality, who has a great personality with horrible gaming skills etc... In the end I realize that their are other good players out there in the game outside of the channels I have been brought up with. There are some pugs I have grouped with that I have enjoyed to be around that have not shown anything other then potential and that is what I think I want above all else is: Personality, and potential.
So with that said I wish to extend an offer to anyone that is interested in joining, that thinks they stand out enough to make the cut. Each week I will open some quests/raids for players wishing to join this channel and give them a test drive to see how they are. You don't have to be the best of players, you don't have to be geared out to the teeth, but you will be judged on different aspects of the game by myself and others. If there is an agreement then you will be given the channel information, and if not better luck next time, life goes on yadayada...
Channel Goals:
I want a bigger pool of players that can be used to fill more raids faster. That is the priority, however I want the level of play to stay strong. I want this channel to be a channel that can be counted on and most importantly I want it to be a channel where people can bullsh*t around and have fun. I don't want players that can't take some trash talk, I don't want players that are there to fill the halls with complaints. It's going to be an everything goes, if you don't agree with something then feel free to speak your mind. I think this channel could be a great way to draw out some of those players that are good, or have the potential to be good players, but haven't had a chance yet in game to show it or just arn't enough well known yet to get discovered by the Elite.
If you would like to join this channel simply send me a pm or contact me in game and I'll put your name down on the list and make time to group with you or get you in a raid I am in to see how you run. This will not be a channel for inviting all of your friends, if you make it in and your friend doesn't no hard feelings, you either join or you don't.
I have but a few simple rules of the channel listed below that I ask be followed:
1. Have thick skin (If you can't handle an argument then don't give one or don't join. Simple.)
2. Everyone has an equal chance to apply (I don't care where you started in game, what guild you are in, as long as you have what it takes you are equal to everyone else there.)
3. No reporting players (If you have a serious issue keep it in channel, Private or if you have to just Squelch and move on.)
4. Most importantly Have fun (Its been said before and it will be said again, if your not having fun don't play)
Yours Truly,
Jen
