What is the Buddy System?
The buddy system is entirely what you choose to make it. The purpose of this thread is to buddy up new players with seasoned veterans to help them get started within the game. From there, it's up to you, and your own personal style.
What are the rules?
There are none, really. I will be using Ventrilo to communicate but I also recommend the Community Raidcall. I encourage you to exchange Skype information to keep in touch outside of the game, but that is also optional. There isn't any rules besides the basic rules of the game itself.
Who can participate?
Everyone! I am looking for veterans and newbies alike. If you are a veteran who likes my idea and wants to help someone out, please post. If you are new and need some help, regardless of how established you are - whether it's day one or a month later - please post. You don't have to limit yourself to one person either, just please don't take on more than you can handle because the newbies will suffer for it and I certainly don't want you feeling stressed!
How do I participate?
You sign up in this thread with your username, server, character class and timezone. If you speak another language, that would be a good thing to add as well (if you want)! Your name gets added to the list, and you will be "adopted" (figuratively, not literally) by a veteran player in the same timezone/schedule block. I will add you to the group Google calendar so you can edit in your availability. As the newbie, you will be able to choose who you would like to buddy with.
Pictured: Screenshot of availability calendar. By clicking on a day with my username, you will be able to read details like what server I am from, and my public contact information.
Any questions, feel free to ask. You will need to PM me your google email to be added to the calendar, so if you don't want to share your private one, you will have to make a new one!
I will also be keeping a master list in this thread just in case google decides to screw me over. ~_~
