    If adds and (rp-) content follow each other up it might increase the number of people waching the billboards, thus making it interesting for FC and the advertisers.

    Yay for RP news on billboards!

    If you oil us, do we not purr?
    And if you ignore us.......... Do we not get ideas?

    Yeah, the idea really originated from Dabblez. As well she wanted to ask about the IRRK news channel, that sounds like very good way for this kind of thing too, and perhaps easier to run with. IRRK question has been around for quite awhile. Many thanks to Lornavash for picking up the issue again from this thread!

    Yep and it would give some of us paying customers reason to turn bilboards back on ... and even more revenue for FC ... don't see how this is a bad idea at all.

    Okay, unfortunately I won't be able to make it to this meeting. The guy who's supposed to be relieving me at the end of my show has phoned in sick and I got volunteered to stay on. I have however investigated each of these questions as much as I can in order to provide answers to them.

    ARK-Akelei, the Events Team Training Co-ordinator however will be present in my place and is more than capable of answering any questions you may have. Please note, he will be the only representative of the Events Team present at the meeting in order to avoid confusion or hijacking.

    Answer: I have a contingent of people within my team at this time working on several proposals, one of which refers to your question above. These have yet to be approved by the powers that be and so I cannot go into great detail about them, however expect to see something in regards to them in the coming months.

    Answer: The bots were taken down over a year ago, reason unknown. However we are attempting to isolate the cause and get them back into action as soon as possible.

    Answer: Yes that thread is an excellent resource for those new to the RP world of AO. However if it is going to be deleted and redone, the new one must correctly reference the actual previous authors so not to discredit them.

    Answer: I'm all for making the OOC meetings a regular thing, however one problem is with the BoD Meetings being on an isolated playfield, unless there is an ARK present during the OOC meeting you will be unable to leave through conventional 'walk out the door' methods. (Gridding etc will still work however.)

    Since this is a special playfield that is used for events and requires ARKs in order for it to function properly (since it's not linked to the mainland of RK), I would ask that the OOC Meetings after the BoD meeting perhaps take place somewhere else. As for ones after the CoT/BoD/NLC I am all for it. I would however have to converse with my team as to our availability after the meetings, but since we'll already be there I don't think it'd hurt for one or two of us to stay on after.

    Hopefully, with regular meetings such as this, we'll be able to develop a rapport between the playerbase and ARK/ET and solve any issues that may arise almost instantly.

    Maybe make it part of regular playfields? With requierment of special key or invite to enter? Both for CoT, BoD and upcoming ICC assembly hall (I presume that's for neutral gathering?). Attach small quest needed to get a key/invite and most of your probmlems are solved. At least at CoT meeting disruptors can show up atm, but those are usually too lazy to run through quest in order to get key and there are always ARKs present to eliminate such griefers.

    Easy answer:

    Place the special playfield inside one of the Omni-HQ buildings with an entrance open to all players (no key) like the CoT with Unicorns near the door, present ARK can moderate and handle those who are not meant to interrupt meetings.

    Problem solved.

    By all means the meeting should take place somewhere else, like Reets, with easy access to everyone.. So after the CoT /Bod finishes, someone gives a shout over CH42, and then anyone who is interest just converges there. The reason to do it after is just so is just to take advantage of the fact that at least you already have a good number of roleplayers already gathered together.

    While I appreciate all the ideas in regards to linking the playfield into Omni-HQ or an equally recognisable area, it's something that has to be done by an AO Developer, most of which are currently tied up with Lost Eden.

    Although not aware of the specifics of the Lost Eden release, I know that if we were to request the integration of the BoD Playfield into that of the mainland of AO, it would undoubtively have to wait until after the release of Lost Eden.

    I am not a developer nor do I have any coding experience so I am unsure as to how easy/difficult it is to integrate a playfield into the rest. I do however like the isolation of the BoD to the extent that not just anyone can run in and ruin it, however I do not like the isolation in comparison to that of the CoT in which anyone can walk in and join. (not counting membership fees, registration and clan association required etc.)

    The BoD and CoT are covered under the same response to question 1, I currently have a group of people working on a proposal for the powers that be so that we can go about adding certain improvements in places. However I am unsure as to when I can give word on the status of this, I don't want to start promising things and suggesting ideas and then the proposal falls through.

    Which room is the Cafe? Angel room or Fireplace, both could pass as one. And already 3hours past my bed time hoping to keep it strong until the meeting fading though

    Details to follow, most likely in new thread.
