People would think of all kinds of sweet places to be standing...
 
Like atop dead Nefarion, Dead Kel'Thuzad etc etc...
 
What about Mind Control "Hogger" and stand with him? :biggrin:

QuoteArticle 2: The competition is opened to anyone aged 15 or more residing in France, in Belgium, in the United Kingdom or in Luxemburg, or anyone aged 18 or more residing in Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, Spain or the Netherlands, having subscribed to the World of Warcraft game before August 14, 2006 and who is a Guild Master, except Blizzard Entertainment S.A.S personnel and their family, affiliates or business partners.

This excludes me and all the players from Italy but the most of us should be eligible so let's give it a try :smile:  
 
It would be very nice if 25 of us are allowed into the BC beta!

I suggest Gamon, he is a lvl13 horde pickpocketing target for horde rogues that is in Ogrimmar and often killed by the horde since he is neutral :D

If we set out to have everyone gather in Elwyn on Thursday before the raids, as we then should have at least 80 ppl online though I would aim for 100+. We could have everyone lined up and dancing around the campfire along with Hogger. Bring fireworks! :biggrin:

And everyone should bring their Tuxedo, Wedding Dress or Vestment of the shifting sands, along with a bunch of flowers (available from the florist at Stormwind). :norty:

lol dress or DJ, flowers in one hand 13lb fish in other hand :)

hogger would be funny but a bit too easy... also does hogger actually count as NPC? as in he's not interractable he's just a mob...

would it be possible to kite a horde npc to somewhere odd and then MC him there so its a well known npc but not where he usually is?

Well, contest says "stand below a well-knowed Non-Player character, so Hogger suits Ok with rules. :biggrin:

Yeah, but sumthing with a little more originality, would prob have a bigger chance of winning.
I, personally, think Hogger is too "easy".
Don't have any better ideas myself atm, just Nat Pagle, but he might be a little obvious too..

edit: The Princess in maraudon? Let our GM marry her, and we're all the wedding guests..? Dunno if there is a way to do it though, in a 5-man dungeon... :doh:

Hmm, not so sure about that, sure, he's a non-player, but character? hmm I thought that meant something with a part to play in the game /plot/lore/interaction, hogger is *just* a mob, the majority of rpgs split entities into:

player characters (real people)
non-player characters (chars with scripts/interactions/something to do)
enemies/mobs (spawns that hit you)

it's probably ok, but wouldn't it suck to miss out because of a technicality

My goodness....server is gonna crash for sure if that is realy needed:blink:
 
Hogger is a bit...well...boring. Also the little ******* walks around all the time, so unless he's MC'ed he'll screw up the screenshot for sure.
City bosses/racial leaders is also gonna give a problem, because they are usualy in small rooms/area that can't possibly hold that many people to get a cool screenie.
 
Raidbosses aint gonna work either, outdoors are either hostile (dragons, Kazzak) or dead (Azuregos), and 40 man dungeons....well, only hold up to 40 people so not the entire guild.
 
Pretty hard to come up with a good/cool well-know npc that has enough room for lots and lots of players.

How about getting the whole guild to that Dancing Troll City you fly above when you go from moonglade to Darkshore?

It's a bit tricky to get there (have done it myself, found a couple of videos at google that showed how to, and also read a bit on a couple of web pages), but as long as one lock and two more got there it shouldn't be much of a problem.

I don't think there are any "famous" NPCs, but there are lots of NPCs, and it's a really cool place too :)


Only too bad my computer is screwed these days, so I won't be able to participate :angry:

Post by: Yrthal on October 05, 2006, 02:11:09 AM
It all sounds very nice and im sure that 90-99% of all guildies that show up wants a key!?

Lets say we win the contest with about 90-95 players... Very nice!

But the GM only gets 25 keys?? how to decide who gets a key and gets to try the game.. :g:

roll for it and the top 25 gets a key?
all marshalls and officers get 1??
25 random gets one and try it out and make a rotation so everyone gets to try??

well sure that we will figure something out :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I dont know about you, but i definetly want to help kick the other guilds *** :boxing:

Few problems with that.
 
1) Blizz "fixed" wallwalking, so areas like that are most unlikely to be reachable anymore.
2) Blizz might just ban us all for exploiting (no BC beta, and no normal game anymore:g: )
3) Like you said, there is no well-known npc there.

Haleh (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?wmob=10929) is a pretty well known NPC, but I'm unsure we can fit 100+ ppl up there :smile:

Post by: Marduk on October 06, 2006, 07:28:02 AM
well getting the entire 200+ account list to get a char on one spot would be pretty much imposible, but im sure blizzard just means dont get 5 people to do something cool so 25 can reak the rewards, they just want to get as many people in the picture so they can dissapoint at least half if not more
