Anne is right, it needs to be a place where newer players can get to it. Not just the ascended or expert.

PODO · Oct 07, 2005, 04:51 PM // 16:51

I really dont care where it is, But since grotto seems to be the place ill go with that. Im just looking forward to having the spot.

Sanji · Oct 07, 2005, 04:54 PM // 16:54

I vote Maguuma Stade

Grotto's a crummy choice for reasons already listed. Plus I hate the slow effect when you stop moving. :P

Grotto, you n33bs.

Edit: I'm not the progenitor of the term, by the way.

And yes, I edit the same word about 3 times.

The reason why we want it somewhere sparesly populated and in the international district is for good reason. One:: to ensure as best as possible that the GwG location remains solely populated by GwG Forum ppl. Two:: International district to keep it accessible to all. Third:: The less amount of "outsiders" there are at that locale, the more the GwG community builds/grows! And many more reasons....

Bumpzin the thread 2 !!

I VOTE Marhans Grotto FTW!!!! woohoo!! go grotto!!!!

Ray · Oct 07, 2005, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Marhan's Grotto.

Kamatsu · Oct 07, 2005, 11:03 PM // 23:03

If this gets decided to go to Grotto then I have one request - can someone please run me to the Grotto? Seeing as I don't have it on my maps on any of my characters I couldn't participate even if I wanted to (which I would).

I thought a gathering of GWG posters would be for everyone, but if it gets relegated to Grotto all your doing is ensuring you only get "experts" and people who have finished the game. Your excluding a whole slice of forum lurkers and/or posters who have never gotten that far in the game.

Which is why I'm dead against Marhan's Grotto - not only is that place "popular" it's also hard to get to for people who haven't finished the game. So unless there are people willing to run GWG lurkers/posters who want to get involved to the Grotto then I'd say you might as well change this whole idea to "Meeting place for GWG experts, pro's and those who have finished the game.. n00bs, nubs, new players & those not finished the game not welcome."

well, sorry you feel this way. This was not the intention nor was it focused on the "elite" forum members. If you read today's update i asked for opinions on this subject, but would also like to see SOLUTIONS if a person does think it is a real problem.

Even if it is often crowded (i never see that) it is usually in Dist1. hence International dist being the meet spot. And i am sure out of this whole forum, that there are those willing to run people there. At worst, ask your guild for help !!

Ice Tooth Cave. Its closer for the new peeps.

why? because its quite near the beginning (so new GwG people can get there) and never has more than 7 people in it.

I agree Tooth caves is a much more sensible choice, most people dont go here because they are in a rush to get to Lions arch

also

My favorite Drinking spot is not far from there!

I guess for me I do feel that suggesting the Grotto is making the whole idea into "elite" poster/lurker's only. Because I know there are heaps of people who haven't reached that as well as new players who might love to met GWG posters in-game, but if the meeting place is at the Grotto then thats not a possibility.

I just read your update, thank you for putting that up on your 1st page. I'm just airing my concern's because I believed the idea was so everyone could met up, and not just a selection of player.

The obvious solution is to make the meeting venue someplace accessable to everyone or at least "new" players. (ie Ice Tooth Cave is more appropriate) or have GWG poster's willing to run people to Grotto.. but then they'd likely want to be paid, and new players might not have the cast to spare to get run to the Grotto..

No comment about if Grotto is busy or not as I can only go by comments I read here on the forums. I can see the thinking on the international districts - it also lets people from all server's met up which is good.

Ask my guild for help? Sure thing! I'll ask myself for help!

(I'm the only person in the Guild.. so no help with that.. hehe)

in the end the solutions IMO come down to:

1. Choose a district which is easy to access for everyone (such as Ice-Tooth Caves, Grendich Courthouse, etc)
2. Get GWG member's willing to run people who want to be involved in the mettings to the Grotto.. a price (or lack of) would need to be arranged and agreed on.

Personally either solution is fine for me. However new players might not want, or have the funds, to go that far into Southern Shiverpeaks. Changing the locale to a place easier to access to new players might be a better solution (and lets see if people whine if a "newbie" type area/region is picked.. hehehe)

I'd like to change my vote to: Ice-Tooth Cave.
