We are in the process of adapting the very successful volunteer program from EverQuest on the PC to EQOA and we are looking for interested players to get involved! In our continuing efforts to enhance the online community that is EverQuest Online Adventures, we are looking to incorporate a very successful element from EverQuest on the PC: the volunteer Guide Program. Currently, the EverQuest Guide Program is an officially sanctioned, self-administered, voluntary group of knowledgeable EQ players who volunteer their time to support and educate the other EverQuest players to create an enjoyable and immersive Role Playing experience. Some examples of activities that EQOA Guide members may participate in could include, but not be limited to: conducting Question and Answer circles, designing and implementing role play events, participating in dynamic events, collecting player feedback, assisting new players, making EQOA Customer Support aware of community issues and conducting in game player ceremonies. Overall, the focus is on fun, rewarding activities to make a great online community even better. We also want to describe some of the things volunteer guides are not: EQOA Volunteer Guides are not in game Customer Support Representatives or GM's. EQOA Guides are not employees or contractors of Sony Online Entertainment, they are not supervised or directed by Sony Online Entertainment and they are not paid for their activities. We do appreciate the effort you may put forth in volunteering for the EQOA volunteer guide program and we may flag participating, eligible Guide Program members' play account free for the duration of their involvement in the program. We will also make available an additional account for volunteer Guides to use to conduct their in game and message forum activities. However, Guides shall not adventure with characters on this supplied account as they are only for use in the activities that will be defined by the Volunteer Guide Program. Guides will also be expected to only participate in activities on servers where they do not have play characters in order to cut down on abuse of Guide abilities. Further checks and balances will be outlined by the Guide Program. If this sounds like something you would be interested in and you are 18 years of age or older, then we invite your participation. We have set up an email alias for prospective participants for the EQOA Volunteer Guide Program to write to. Interested parties should write to: eqoa-guides@soe.sony.com with the subject line of: EQOA Volunteer Guide Program The body of the email communication should include a brief summation of your previous play experience in EverQuest Online Adventures and why you are interested in being involved in the EQOA Guide Program. Please also include your EQOA Message Forum Handle. If you do not have a Message Forum Handle, please register for the EQOA Fan Club at http://everquestonlineadventures.station.sony.com/registration/register.jsp to obtain one. Those selected for involvement will be given access to a new, private message forum on the EQOA message boards to hammer out the program's details. We hope you join us in the formation of what will surely be a great addition to EQOA's online community!
