A New High Council

We need a new High Council for Olympus. There may be things that need to be done in Olympus that are not needed in the old map, or reverse. Not having experience enough to find the real problems or know the game well enough shouldn't be too much of a problem seeing that Olympus is full of old players who reset. Please put this into consideration.

Why would it need a seperate high council, everything apart from the maps are the same and there will be many matters that players from both servers would want to talk to each other about. Possibly, there could be a set of high council from each server and divide the high council into overall (which will be the main one) as well as Olympus and Everos.

Personally, I think they need new blood on the HC, I'm not personally on it but I hear many stores of certain people using it to further their own agendas, posting stupid polls etc.

I think the High Council was a bad idea to begin with. I'm all for things being out in the open and I hate being left out of important discussions when I believe there is a lot I could add to them. It's the failed Democracy of the USA all over again!

I had to ask someone to bring up a suggestion I made to the High Council because I can't go to it, and worse still I can't read what anyone has to say about it unless I ask someone to screenshot for me... I hate it, and I don't see the point. Things worked fine before the High Council... =(

Maybe it will hold more salt when more people play (and thus more forum posts which aren't worth reading come up)... But still, I hate being left out and seeing other people left out who could have very valuable inputs on the future of the game.

Well I believe you should be on the High Council, Bobba.

Also that we should have open discussions:

Suggestion: Instead of "access" ... make it so everyone can read the forum; but only the guild leaders & 2 more members are able to post there.

There are a few items that Runeslayer wants to discuss first in a closed forum; but these are only a few minor items (less than 5% of what we discuss there).

It was an interesting experiment, that didn't go as expected.  I think we learn from it & do better in next iteration.

I think after about 7 weeks, we should move most of the High Council in-game (the voting) & involve more of the community.  I'll post a suggestion soon as I have some time on that.

So basically I believe the best solution is to move the other 95% out of the High Council; and also get more members like Bobba, for the 5% or so that remains there.

Possibly a good reason to make it publicly viewable, so that people don't form their opinions based around a summary from others - rather have the ability to read and formulate their own informed opinion.

EDIT**

Then again, most of the posting has moved out here anyways...

With regards to a new HC, turtle - I don't feel Olympus has the numbers or progress to justify a second council quite yet...we still have much growing to do.
