In the last couple months I've started a bunch of new toons with the (FUN) tag as part of my ongoing effort to help make the server more FUN. I'd like to invite anyone else to join me in this effort. Here are some of the basic principles I have in mind:
1. Make lots of toons and don't be in a rush to get them to 40. With toons available at all levels you can party with anyone, anytime. When you can't find a party, make a new toon instead of trying to grind a high level toon solo.
2. Explore all factions and classes to become a more complete player and avoid getting bored of the same old builds and tactics.
3. Seek out and welcome new players to the server. Party with them. Help them learn where and how to level. Help them with gear. Encourage them to explore all factions and decide for themselves which personalities and playing styles they enjoy best. You'll make more friends and have more FUN along the way.
The Circle is my main faction because the builds (especially shifters) can be so interesting, party friendly, and FUN to play, but I enjoy playing toons in all factions. (FUN) is the tag I now use for any toon I create outside of TC. Most of my (FUN) builds are designed to be good at leveling and high level PvM. Eventually some will get to 40 and allow me to join any side in a PvP battle to help the server stay balanced and be more FUN for all. I welcome others to use the (FUN) tag for toons they make outside of their usual factions and guilds if the toons are dedicated to helping make the server more FUN for all.
Factions United for Neversummer?
Friggin' Ugly Nerds?
I don't really care what the acronym stands for. It's just for FUN.
