[H] Rough Event proposal (Northrend) - Still to be worked on.

Alrighty, so I'd been chatting to Magaskawee and Kharzac about the upcoming event in Gadgetzan, when a thought came to me:

A lot of Horde guilds travelling to meet in one place. Now, with this event in Gadgetzan, I imagine most people will appear there overnight, but I got to thinking... what if we could do something similar, but make it wholly IC?

Here's the rough idea:

-An event of some type, but one viable or interesting enough to draw players will be held at Conquest Hold, Grizzly Hills, in Northrend. As truth be told, Northrend needs to see more use, it's a fantastic place

-For whatever reason, Flying within Northrend will be discouraged, and the closest Magi will be able to Portal to this area is Dalaran. The Zeppelin to Vengeance landing may or may not also be working, for the sake of having people actually travel across the frozen continent.

-All the Horde guilds/players will arrive by a pre-determined date, however, they may set out to head for the location whenever they wish.

The idea would work somewhat like this:

-Banner sets out.

-Banner meets Sin Belore in Borean Tundra, also travelling.

-Banner may travel/hunt with them, both guilds moving in their own time.

-Banner continue to travel, meets Orcs of the Red Blade camp in Dragonblight. Might stay a few nights, moving on with or without them.

The idea is for all guilds to arrive at a certain point at the same time, but in their own time. I find it rather interesting to think of the random RP that could be generated from cross country travelling and of the stories that could be shared upon arrival at Conquest hold.

But please, leave your own thoughts and suggestions below!

Sounds like a nice thing. But considering the size of it more than just "okay, we'll meet and be buddy buddy" has to be planned or acounted for (some type of threat or what ever) considering not everyone enjoys just being social.
Secondly, it has to be planned months in advance so half the groups in question aren't stuck mid guild events and have to suddenly up and leave from a storyline they've been working on for the past three-four weeks.

So, while a nice initiative it'll take a -lot- of work.

Some guilds might turn down the idea due to prior engagements, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen at all. I'd say just round-up whoever you can and make something happen!

This doesn't make sense..

Sounds like a cool idea Soni, would mean that guilds that normally might not rp with each other under normal circumstances have a chance to do so! I like it

It does! It means the two different guilds will be at the same place at the same time, but each guild will arrive at different times. So X guild arrives at 12:00 and stays until 15:00, and Y guild arrives at 13:00 and stays until 15:00.

Certainly worth giving a go. Being the nomads we are, we orcses have done quite a few caravan-like RP travels that last for multiple weeks. I can recommend it to anyone, as it's not only immersive and fun, but you get to know each other better in an unknown environment as well, and leaves plenty of opportunity for alternative events too. Part of the fun is meeting random travelers on your way who happen to be RPers as well, which always makes for some interesting dialogue. This could especially be true if there are multiple other guilds to be found out there.

Aside from above points, it may be a good idea to perhaps integrate multiple events in there to make the travel worth making, as to make sure you don't only show up for one and make your way out right away afterwards. As Muzjhath said though, this is the kind of thing you need to plan and announce well in advance. Right now, we're in the middle of nomadic RP like this as it is. These tend to take for quite a few weeks, so we'll have to make sure we have enough weeks in advance to prepare for it as to make sure we're not in the middle of an existing one as it is. Other than that, you'd certainly have our support!

No ships, please I still have nightmares

If its planned well and we can get plenty of notice I'm sure we can get the Marauders to take part.

Though, we're not the nomadic type as such, if there's loot and plunder to be had we'd be more inclined to come along!
The issue is different guilds having different stories and ideas behind them, so it makes sense (as far as I can see) to have say, tribal guilds walking through the snows of Northrend, it doesn't necessarily fit with how the Marauders work IC. As mercenaries we'd be unlikely to spend a couple of weeks in Northrend just out of curiosity or friendship!

Well, group A arrives day M at hour X, and leaves at day Q at hour Y. Group B on the other hand arrives on day N, still at hour X. Then they leave on day P hour Z. Then we have group C, they arrive day M but at hour Z, then they leave on day R at hour W.

That clearer?

This really sounds like a great idea and as for the Marauders not being nomadic and being mercenaries and such..they could be hired to do something..for "if there would be any non combat guild" guarding them..or protect traderutes between the horde garrisons or something like that.

If you want a reason to have everyone involved, just have some fight/battle planned for the end!

Both very good suggestions!

I think the horde really should use the sauna/bath facilities in Borean Thundra.

You are such a barbarian.

What better reason to get together? You don't always have to create slaughter and mayhem, sometime, you can just chill in a sauna with your fellow xeno-races of the Horde.

I'm sure that if the Marauders would want to take part, a story could be written to get them there.

I'm guessing the Marauders are going to take an OOC "wait and see" on this, and if it gets rolling and enough get involved, it may be worth finding a way to relocate to northrend for a while.

But first the market tonight! Woo, so exciting! Going to setup a nice "Voodoo lounge" with Jahzeem
