A good idea, but I would simplify the time - putting both 19:00 and 19:15 in the same sentence is confusing - drop the 19:00 so it is clear when invites actually are issued.

Just a thought.  When you invite someone then we end them a mail anyway.  Can I suggest you send yours once they are in Guild?

Did this ever get started?
 
If it did, could we add something to it, so if it is a hunter who is joining tell him what add-on we expect he have install, like a tranq shot addon and stuff like that.
 
Maybe we could tell them what pots we like they turn up with for raiding ect. ect.
 
Maybe let the class leader sent them out so they in that way could introduce themself to the new members.

I misread this initially.  We have been sending our in game mails as per my post for some months.  No idea whether you have started yours or not.  It is porbably something that should be the same across the Guild though.

Post by: Greatdanes on November 20, 2006, 01:42:02 PM

The one I suggested was meant to poke ppl to look at forums, since new members sometimes find it hard to move their lazy ass into the forums to get information.
Title: In game mail - New members
Post by: Greatdanes on November 21, 2006, 02:55:08 PM
Yea - but try and look the poll DA have made, about 20 people have not reacted yet - that is 35% of the raid group(over 1/3) who don't read forums regular, no wonder why people don't know what we are doing sometimes. And that 1/3 is not just new members.
 
My suggestion was to inform the new ones with some basic information and at we do expect something of them :rolleyes:
 
But can I get permission to test it on the new hunters?

would be a nice ingame mail for new members (hunter) GD  i think its good idea and ill support it :flirty:

Post by: Siffredi on November 21, 2006, 04:55:03 PM
But is it fair to demand them to get whipper root and nightdragons??? Major troll blood and such??? I aint got none of them when i raid f.eks.
Title: In game mail - New members
Post by: Greatdanes on November 21, 2006, 05:08:48 PM
They can keep you alive and after what I have seen we hunters need that in the Vaelstrasz the Corrupt fight where we normaly don't have a healer to take care of us :) and it will help overall so healers can keep you alive Siffredi.
 
So I will say it's fair.

And BTW it was not a demand but a expect thing.

Ah great - well expect and demand is far away from each other, so thumbs up from me :D
