Hail and Well met Social Adventurers!
Our newest adventure kicks off June 29th as Riders of Icarus enters headstart for founders. On July 6th the game kicks off it's Open Beta for all to play on a free-2-play basis. We've got some awesome interest in this game and theres a lot to love. There is however, one MAJOR hurdle we're going to have to work around.
The 20 Person Initial Guild Limit
This is going to jack us up right out the gate. Like trying to play a football game with 2 left cleats this is guarenteed to mess up our launch into the game. I'm going to ask that everyone who wants to play this with us practices patience and understands that we have to level these guilds up to level 3 to be able to form an alliance.
Here's how the system works:
- At Player Level 10 and 2 Gold we can open a 40 Person Guild.
- For each guild level the limit raises by 10.
- At Guild Level 3 we can open a 3 Guild Alliance.
- At Max Guild Level (Currently 7) we will have room for 80 People in Each Guild. That makes 240 Characters Maximum.
No problem right?
Well..... In CBT3 with playing 6 days of the Beta we managed to earn about 5% of our way to level 2. At the end of CBT3 I did some tests to find the best way for us to grow quickly.
What I found:
- Each time you level you gain a set amount of points. Earlier levels award less points.
- Each time you kill something above your level you earn points.
- If you are grouped with other guild members the points multiply per guilded group member.
The Launch Plan
- I need to find 19 people who plan to play a whole lot in the first 7 days during headstart. Players who can form 3-4 groups of 5-6 and level together. For the first week I'll need people that can put in 6+ hours a day into this.
- Once the first 7 is over these teams will split into the GSCH, GSCH West, and GSCH East guilds and help level up the 2 Auxillery sides.
- We will need to find out who plans to play a whole lot and move those into GSCH to help continue to progress GSCH as fast as possible.
What I Need From You
I need you to Reply with the following:
- Planned Character Name
- Headstart/Founder: y/n
- Typical Playtime: (in Pacific Time)
- Planned Playstyle: (Casual = 4hr per day)
It's really important that we get a good perspective of who's going to be playing when and how hard they plan on hitting the game with so that we can pair people up for maximum efficiancy. This is going to be one hell of a challenge but I believe we can do it.Also an accurate headcount would help a lot.
