Title: Grand Cross-Shard Banner Bonanza!
Post by: Hoagie on May 19, 2007, 11:35:04 pm
In an effort to bring more players to the Baronship of Cove, I will pay a sum of 500,000 gold coins to the person who can design lay the best and most spanktacular recruiting banner on another Shard!

Rules:
  • The competition will last until the 20th June, at which point no more entries will be accepted.
  • The banner can be placed on any Ultima Online shard.
  • The banner must include:
    - Recruitment Fliers.
    - Some display of the Covian Colours.
  • The banners may include:
    - Anything you can get your hands on!
  • There is no size/item limit to the banners.
  • You are allowed to enter more than one banner.
  • You must say which shard the banner was placed on.

All entries are to be posted below!

On the 20th June, the six best banners will be chosen by myself, and the overall winner voted for by you!

GET LAYING!

Any UO shard, does that include freeshards (as recruiting there wouldn't be all that efficient seeing as people playing there are generally the scrooges who refuse paying for this fantastic game)?

Most freeshard players are scrooges, that's true. But some of them in the past have paid just to play Cove. You have to sell Cove to them, not the game.

Then again, I don't really condone recruiting on freeshards because you're really leeching from one community to another. That's not how we do things.

Isn't there a similar problem with recruiting on other shards? We're taking players away from other shards' communities.

This isn't a thread for discussing the ethics of the comptetion. Keep it on topic please. :)

Quite simply other UO shards weren't made and run by individuals with their own time and money. We're all part of the same UO community.

But yes, on topic! <_<
