Events Planning: Reoccurring Events
I want to thank Aldente for inspiring this idea to help brainstorm reoccurring events for Stonewall with his post about the Advanced Magenta Crystal.
As the Administrative portion of managing a guild the size of Stonewall starts to work itself out, I'd like to start turning an eye towards events that help build our community.
Planning reoccurring events to help people obtain some of the off-the-beaten-path items or encounters I think will be a good starting point.
Since my main has only hit Level 30 on the Republic side, I'd like to get input from those of you who have explored further and farther into the game than I have been able to so far.
Here is a list of ideas I have so far to try and steer you all into the direction I am thinking:
Weekly Datacron Hunt
One day each week (at 2 or 3 different start times) we will all visit one planet (rotating through a new planet each week) and hunt down all of the datacrons on that given planet. This will help provide some much needed companionship one some of those that require long waits (*cough* Tatooine balloon ride), and guides for those that require absurdly round about paths or jumping skill to reach (Coruscant or Taris).
Weekly Flashpoint Runs
If you are anything like me, you've probably been playing to enjoy the story, and so level progression has become an after thought. This has lead (at least in my case) to outleveling, or missing out on, the Flashpoints. Like the Datacron Hunts, we'll rotate through the Flashpoints, organizing groups, and guides, to help everyone have an opportunity to experience these group stories without the downsides of a PUG.
Other Experiences You May Have Missed
World Bosses
Heroics
World Bonus Arcs
Rare Item Hunts
This is where I could really use your input and help. These would include going through the necessary steps to obtain hard-to-obtain items such as the Advanced Magenta Crystal brought to our attention by Aldente, to taking on World Bosses, or other encounters that are off of the beaten path.
Weekly Cross-Faction Alt Day(s)
I just had a thought to help bolster our active numbers and would like some feedback on this idea. One or two evenings each week, if your primary is on the Republic but have been wanting to play an Imperial Alt, participants in this event will play on the Imperial side with those those who have Imperial Primaries (in essence bolstering the number of active online Imperial players during these evenings).
On one or two DIFFERENT days, if you have an Imperial Primary but want a Republic Alt, participants will play their Republic alts on this day.
I think this may help, to some extent, especially for our Imperial side, to bolster the 'active online' numbers a few times a week, in addition to giving you an excuse to defect for a few hours a week.
Let me know if this isn't making any sense, it's perfectly clear in my muddled mind.
Any and all input would be most welcome. There are no bad ideas. Okay, running across Hoth in nothing but your skivvies might not be in your best self-interest. :lol:
