Sure, make a new one to put some dates/hours and let me know to sticky it

Heya leily, i think it would be great that if during that war, if you can be there or log in , the realm that is severely outnumbered could have some help.
By help i do mean some boosts such as xp and wmc, so people would want to war as that realm more.

I played last Saturday and Sunday and the increased numbers of people and more balanced fights than usual were great.
I am absolutely in favour of doing these events regularly.

Personally I think doing these events weekly would be a bit too much though. Perhaps for the first few weeks it would work fine; however the more common these events, the faster people might get bored with it. Thats my opinion.

2) Should it be weekly? Ever two weeks? Thoughts?

Thanks guys

to 1) yes would be nice.
to 2) IMHO every second weekend or if it's every weekend with rotating days like someone above suggested with rotating days - set just one day on the weekend.

Dates:
June 24 (last Saturday)
July 14 (second Friday)
July 29 (last Saturday)
August 11 (second Friday)
August 26 (last Saturday)
September 8 (second Friday)
September 23 (Saturday before last)
October 13 (second Friday)
October 28 (last Saturday)
November 10 (second Friday)
November 25 (last Saturday)

After hearing everyone who posted and syrtians who commented in-game, above are my suggested dates. Reasoning:
1) Every two weeks - the aim is to bring everyone including those who don't play regularly back for an EPIC event, thus boosting numbers on a regular basis. Once weekly is too much for irregular players, twice monthly is better. Having said that, as this past week has shown - the event gives hope to regulars who know that there will be great war regularly, and encourages them to stay in game booting daily play too. So, twice monthly benefits irregular and regular players.
2) Alternate Fridays/Saturdays - those two chosen as most ppl don't have commitments the next day, so can war till early if they wish to. Alternating so that those who always work one of the eves have options. Apologies to police, Drs, nurses, firefighters, hospitality staff and any shift workers who prefer alternate times.
3) By setting up a schedule well in advance, irregular players can plan which dates they will join on.

THOUGHTS
A) This is a community event, we want nothing from NGD. Let's just log on and beat each other's toons senseless.
B) The success depends on us the PLAYERS. Let's all work together to promote it. Msg old players lets them know the dates. Chat to every in-game person you see and let them know the schedule and forum post.
C) Prepare your kit. I warn you - Jaro is approaching Godly status. Be very afraid (of his kit not his skills).
D) Help noobs prepare for war. Help them with set-up, equipment, power-grinding, play tips, etc.
E) Vids and Pics or it didn't happen - this means you cunning players with great pcs, get us cool screenies, cool vids so we can brag about our PrOness

And that's it... oh wait I forgot: guys, what shall we call this event? Epic Community War? Clash of the Clans? Inquisition will kill everyone? Let's come up with a cool name for OUR event.

If this post receives reasonable support and most players agree, I'll create a new post in general with the schedule and the name and ask Leily to sticky it.

Much love and war,
Jaro Seeker/Jarne/Dr Jarne

Oh Jaro you're my hero, marry me please?

Pondering that, you may well get a number of RO same sex marriages. Vive le difference!

Schedule: Sure, do it!

Agree with all the thoughts except C! Wait, where's this uber-kit coming from? Will try to post on steam, fb and Skype for everyone involved and get as many on as I can.

Of course I like it and i am in. Sorry Inq.. more spam inc... grins, although I can not possibly be sorry for seeing more clannies on. Means we get time to ding Faith too!

Off to let everyone know, see you in the frontiers, people...

[Matrim]

I'm good with bi-weekly, i'm free the next two weekends too so can be more involved with the organisation side too

[Dumberest]

lolz @ snuggles

you know great idea.but what a hassle to check up when you guys plan these big fights....simpler solution is just play and hope lots are online.

goats invade us with lots and we just turn up and try,for a little bit anyways...its action of sorts lolz

Lets not keep it on friday, did you see difference between friday and sunday this time? IT WAS SUNDAY'S AMAZING WAR that made this event a success, friday was half hearted and boring compared to sunday. So keep it on sunday as people dont have work and can log easily.
KEEP IT ON SUNDAY & SATURDAY
