Off topic for a second
I forward the motion of holding a community event in celebration of the fixing of the launcher and in appreciation of those who worked on it.
Dub it "We are not dead yet" community event. This would be a chance of getting a PR push and getting some new blood introduced into the game. With the recent steam integration it will be a lot easier to organize this, using steam groups and using the calendar function the groups have.
Now would be a very good opportune time seeing as EA shot itself in the foot with battlefront 3, the new movie coming out in December, and the new series "Rebels". We have every advantage when it comes to game-play and authenticity, the years of polish this mod has is very apparent and the love that went into the maps should be good enough to entice a larger player base. So we can stop playing DOTF 24/7, and maybe revive the FA scene.
People are craving starwars right now, I know I am. I decided to watch the clone wars starting with Tartakovsky series and moving on to the 2008 wooden puppet series on CN.
The planets are literately aligning themselves right now for anything SW related be it a passing fad or not. This is a chance to get more players introduced to the game.
I strongly suggest anyone who has the years of experience to lead and organize the event. And if anyone in the AOD would kind enough to hold some training sessions with the new players, that would be enough to get their feet onto the ground and give us a chance to feel them out to see if they are willing to be consistent players.
If anyone besides a few people agree with me, I will create a topic in the suggestion area and we can hash this out and brainstorm in full detail.
