E.P.O.C.H. 1st Birthday Discussion Thread

Way too early but...a good party takes time

What am I talking about? (heh, what the heck am I ever talking about, right?) Well I was over a HoD wishing them (belated) birthday wishes and it occured we've almost been going a year ourselves!

As it happens, "Agents of the E.P.O.C.H." (a.k.a. 'Blasters for Hire') will turn 1 year old on

February 11th 2010

And I thought we may as well start planning for the celebrations now, before it gets too hectic!

So, who would like to do what? We've got 2 months to prepare and I for one think we should have a good ol' knees up!

I'd ask people to use this thread to throw ideas into the mix, here are some of mine:

* I'd like us to honour the departed (whether they left the guild on good terms or not)
* Something fun (a quiz perhaps, or a competition)
* A gift for each member (this can be anything and that does include 'virtual' gifts!)
* Something RP related, even if it just a small encounter.

Lets start preparing for a

PAR-TAY!

Only kidding! I think this is great idea. Lets try and get everyone in the chatbox and see if it crashes! lol

I think we already achieve that on a regular basis Hare even with only 2 or 3 people on
Yeah this sounds great LW, we could have Hyperion shindig

Perhaps you can initiate a closing time for the Hyperion and we re-visit it the week after for the "shin-dig"?

Aye that's do-able - an RP party? hmmmmmmmmmmm

Lets have everyone download and install the trial of SWG, make a mock up of their main and we can party on down in a cantina somewhere.

Nice idea Harewood, although it took 36 hours to download last time I'm up for it

I'll need to start a new account - I downloaded the trial, upgraded to the full sub then realised nobody else was gonna play it but I am more than happy to re-download as well

I need to start a new account to havent play the games in years

We should all log on at the same time and all be rescued by han solo, now we only need to find the shiftiest bar in Tatooine to boogie down in

Now this idea I like!! An RP-knees up would be quite a good laugh.

the SWG idea sounds like fun

Yeah I only played SWG for a couple of days and hated it (although I am aware it used to be very good, or so I'm told). I doubt very much that I'd pay a subsciption fee but I'll look into it all the same. I think it'd be ace if we do it to play our characters future relatives and share drunken tales!

well just do the trial it does last 14 days

OK, so an update on this?

Are we gonna go for a Hyperion Party (in which case I need to sort out close-down proceedures) or are we all gonna download the SWG trial and rip through the tutorial in high speed so we're all at the Tatooine point ready to take over a cantina?

Or do we do both?

Also, how are we gonna do this? have a week of celebrations? two?

What else are we gonna do around the forums to celebrate?

C'mon folks - get yer thinking caps on

Incidently here is the link for The SWG Free Trial

And out of interest, has anyone seen This?

EDIT: seems I still have an active SWG account, I really must pay more attention to my money :S I'll find out what server I'm on or, if people download the trial I'll make Aleena on that server instead.

Right well people either forgotten this or wasn't interested enough to do the SWG thing, so I've taken things into my own hands.

That'll learn ya

Its unlikely that you've missed the large scrolling marquee at the top of the main page, but expect a couple of surprises for anyone who logs in on our birthday date. Watch this space and I'll give a little update on 09.02.10 and 10.02.10

09.02.10 E.P.O.C.H. Festivities Update

To celebrate our first birthday as a guild, any Initiate, Agent or Guild Ally who logs into this site between 06:00 - 23:59 GMT on February 11th will receive a special GIFT courtesy of the Admin Team.

10.02.10 E.P.O.C.H. Festivities Update

For the 2nd update, I thought I would let you know that a new (short) RP will start tomorrow run by PrioryJK and myself to celebrate our first year as a Guild together.

Based at the (as yet unrevealled) 'Penthouse Suite' of the Hyperion Club in upper Galactic City, Coruscant; the RP will consist of two parts.

The first part is "Closed RP" where only Initiates and Agents may participate. This is a celebration/ceremony of the Agency's efforts over the last Galactic year and also an official way to formally make any of your characters part of the Agency. Designed for a way to make sure that every character within the Agency knows all others, this is a non-timeline specific RP meaning that any characters currently away in other RP's can come to the RP. All members of the EPOCH Agency are required to attend, so please be aware that if you are not there as players, your characters will be, albiet in a minimal-interactive npc kind of way.

The second part is less formal, an "Open RP" where allies from other guilds are welcome to come up to the Penthouse Suite (with no weapons ofc, there is a security checkpoint!) and join in the festivities and party-like atmosphere. This invitation is open to all members of CODEX, Hands of Darkness, The Praxeum, Remnants of Mandalore and The Sith'ari Path. Inivitations will be sent via our Allies websites, and it is entirely optional whether they attend or not.

This RP is intended to be short, light and fun, but full-RP so everyone keep "in-character" please! The RP will last 7 days (11.02.10 - 18.02.10) unless people wish to continue further in which case it can be extended to 14 days (11.02.10 - 25.02.10).

Although the Set-up post will be put up in advance the RP will remained locked until 15:30 GMT on 11.02.10 at which point it will be unlocked and people will be welcome to play their characters.

There will also be several other surprises on the day, so keep an eye out!

See you there!
