Care to give us some insight into the scheduling models you're looking at?

The more I think about things, the more cumbersome the whole undertaking appears. Will it involve some form of polling to decide what the future events will be? Would people be able to reserve a slot in a group? What are you considering software-wise in terms of making this happen? Can we just spam "lfg" in #gwp and get r9 players to help us finish HM while we afk?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Some people are acting like they need to show up to every event "just for the sake of showing up" and hence they do not like 1b for that reason. But if the purpose of the schedule is to actually get missions done as opposed to "getting together aimlessly just for the sake of getting together" --- those people should not be catered to, and 1b should be the choice used.
In addition, such a schedule means missing a mission you want doesn't matter much, because it'll come around quite quickly, while a once a day schedule means you might have to wait a long time, just to not be able to do it again.

This is a great idea! I for one miss the days of the PUG's and the great people you meet along the way. 2b was my vote.

"I like option (1b), a rotating schedule every 3 hours for each individual chapter. "

Vote Cast.

I think this is the best opition that would be avaiable for players. They get each chapter going, and there is a mission/place every three hours for a player to get to and get aligned in.

Well, try to schedule weekdays and weekends differently.

Weekends could be more active, "so were gonna do Vizunah, GNW and Pogahn Passage every hour (3 groups)"

Weekdays shoud be much slower. Just do one mission every 2 hours for the evening.

Also...2 missions are solo missions, so there are 56 help-able missions.
