    Splitpaw gets no guide love these days, does it?
  9. ARCHIVED-harleygjc Guest

    Speaking for myself and probably half the server, but I aint seen a guide come on the server in many a moon now,seems like we've been abandoned methinks! Shame as I always enjoyed talking to the guides but it now seems like a idea in the past.

    Helloes!

    I can assure you we haven't forgotten abouts Splitpaw, but the Guides can often be found doing quests and RP sessions which are not advertised on these boards. Keep an eye on 1-9 channel in game, and you mights see us around! We're not always on 'Guide' characters, especially if a quest is running.

    More than often as of late is may seem like this because of a lot of our Splitpaw guides have been running quests for you rather than Roleplay sessions. This may be because of various reasons, or it may be a time restriction thing. I'm sure once some of us have seen this post (Will make sure they all do), that we will try get out for some more RP sessions.
    As for quests, as I posted earlier in the topic, a few months back the Guide program regulations changed, no longer requiring guides to get approval to run their quests. Previously this meant that we had some warning to give you about the whereabouts of guide events, but with the new changes, it means that generally by the time I have seen the quests have been scheduled, they have already been run and am unable to give prior warnings.
    The best advice I can give, is that keep an eye out on 1-9 channel for messages from a quest avatar (Will be in the quest roleplay), and go seek them out. A guide can't respond to tells when in a quest avatar, so you have to find them in person. If it does turn out to be a guide quest, feel free to repeat it in any subsequent channels and spread the word. This way more people know and everyone has more fun!
    I will see what I can get done about giving more advanced warnings, but it's a lot more difficult now unfortunately. On a slightly brighter note, rumours are emerging of a certain blue frog may be reappearing sooner rather than later!
    Tippoh.

    Glad to see we've not been abandoned! I've missed seeing and talking to the guides for a while now, seems like most people I used to know are now gone and the guides were a welcome distraction from solo questing for a while! look forward to seeing the guides around sometime on my fae warlock, You know him fairly well by now Tippoh cough free bug pies cough!

    *Froaks loudly*
    I have returned! I will try to announce more quests if/when possible! If anyone has a special request, let us know and we'll see if we can accommodate your wishes!
    *hugs all of Splitpaw*
  14. ARCHIVED-Rampage Guest

    I prefer quests myself tbh, but I didn't even see them with one exception where I caught a "a call for help" in the chat spam and by the time I got there 5 min later the orc in need of help was gone. Then I came here saw there hadn't been announcents but once a month. I wouldn't blame you ofc, Splitpaw is pretty dead cuz of the PSS1 thing, but it's good to see people are actually around.

    Special requests as in a specific quest? Would like to see "The Gnollish Menace" run a few times if so, and/or "Hunting Contest".

    Rumours I've heard so far for this week:
    Tonight at 7pm UK time (11am Pacific) a gnomish inventor by the name of Gneil Tinkerspark will be in the Withered Lands seeking help!
    Wednesday 25th July at 9pm UK time (1pm Pacific) a Kerran hunter by the name of Kocheera will be in Antonica near the lighthouse seeking hunters!
    This list will be updated when I hear more!
    *hops out*
  17. ARCHIVED-Iza Guest

    Yay! Thank you! Been looking for that hunting quest (and the one that gives tortured skellys) ever since I first saw the house items and heard about the guide quests.
  18. ARCHIVED-Tippoh Guest

    For anybody who might have missed it. Not strictly a guide rumour, but I suspect a few of us might be there!

    More rumours!
    Tonight I'll be attending the Splitpaw Meet & Greet (as will a few others of our team!)... be sure to ask about a catalogue... *winks*
    Tomorrow, 31st July, at 8am UK time (midnight Pacific) a gnomish tinkerer by the name of Cogswa would love to share some of her research with you all in Steamfont, at the Gnomeland Security HQ!
    Wednesday, 1st August, at 7:30pm UK time (11:30am Pacific) Ozwick the gnome needs help with some parts as he can not leave his poor wife alone after a mishap from his assistant. He can be found in Steamfont Mountains near the road to Klak'Anon!
    When I hear more, I will add it here!
    *hops out*
    Eep! The boring disclaimers! Please note: All times/dates are subject to change, due to that pesky evildoer known as Real Lifeâ„¢, as all Guides are simply volunteers, and they are just as susceptible to unforeseen circumstances as anyone else. If an event is rescheduled (or cancelled), I will try to keep you posted on the new dates/times, but unfortunately, that won't always be possible. I sincerely apologize in advance to anyone who feels that their time has been wasted as the result of an unexpectedly-cancelled or delayed quest, and I hope that it won't tarnish your enjoyment of future events.
    Additionally, one never knows when a Guide of Splitpaw might suddenly be bitten by the Inspiration bug, or the Unexpected Spare Time bug, and decide that they just have to host an event NOW!, so you should always be on the lookout for strange rumblings, especially in the special frequency "Level 1-9" channel that many of you listen to.
