Hey my character name is Zevin i put a link up on my facbook page of the you tube channel, about 80 people will see it and i have a ton of gamer friends so its likely will get a tenth of them to try it atleast, will do more if i can think of anywhere else
 
Confusion

So is the purpose of the account drive to get more people, and thus hope that some of those people will become donators?

I don't post on any game forums or discussion boards, and the non-game ones I might post this on have been disallowed or already been hit. I do however donate $30 + dollars a month - isn't that worth an entry for the Lucky Charm draw?

I donate to keep the server up - playing without paying seems the wrong thing to do, it important to support the work being done, and help keep the bills paid. I will continue to do this regardless of this charm lottery/account drive.

That being said, why is a ridiculously powerful item like the charm being given away for posting on discussion boards, while donating gives no chance at it? The existing donator rewards are largely irrelevent by higher level - Run3 negates the scale boots, and works in MoP, doesnt drop once taking an action either. Gate necks to planes / sewers etc make the medallion superfluous for the most part, why not throw in a chance for this drive reward?

I keep seeing the MoTD's, asking people to support the server, and I say to myself 'Arent I doing that already?'
 
Because we are ideologically opposed to having donations = material in game benefits. That is why our donation items are fun and interesting and not powerful.

If we ever got into the financial position where we would have to start giving out stats for cash we would seriously consider calling it a day. Luckily we have never even gotten close to that.
 
I don't blog, post regularly on forums, or even have a facebook (for professional reasons- you NEVER know what your friends will post and you future boss will see! I am trying to get gainful employment in the nursing profession after all *grins*).

It may not count, because I have no links or screen shots, just my word as a loyal fan of this shard. I've been playing here a couple of months now. As soon as I am working, I am going to donate on a monthly basis.

BUT, if it counts, I sold my sister and my mother on signing up. I am working on two more of my friends and have passed the word around to all my old EQ gaming-pals. Several of them have said they have surfed the forums and toyed around with grabbing a copy of EQ Platinum.

I worked in marketing for a small service company for many years while finishing school and if I learned anything, it was that word of mouth IS a powerful tool. I reckon I have told at least 15 people about SoD, BUT those 15 have told another 15, and so on and so forth.

So, while this may not be in the EXACT spirit of the contest....well, at least I have been trying to soft sell what I believe is the best EQ-emu shard out there.

Thanks!

My attempt at spreading the word

The following post is my attempt at spreading the word of SoD to people who may be interested. Since gamespot does not allow speak of emu-servers etc... I looked around at eq articles and such and found users who sounded interested in EQ and whom I thought may be inerested in SoD. So I sent them all a private message rather than post on a forum. Hope this is okay, also ill post what my message said and one of the feedback messages i recieved. Thanks, and long live SoD!
 
Anyway, yeah i hope that helps SoD out a bit, I used the example info post on SoD because I really couldn't explain SoD any better myself. Gamespot doesn't let u expand the inbox/outbox so i had to photoshop all of em together, as you can see these were sent out august 5th. Anyway, my characters name in game is Arcturon as I said in my message.
 
I'm just curious what the exp bonus calc is based on... is it the number of participants in this thread or new accounts created?

Sorry I can't really do anything to drive. Most of the forums I've been associated with are unrelated and don't appreciate posting links to outside sites. Good luck to ya'll on the charm tho.
