I've seen what a harmful summit can do to an RP community along with devs that give zero fucks about their RPers, I'mlookingatyouArenaNet.
Often times, it's simply a "hey, for those of you who don't know who we are and what we do, here it is. If you have any questions, let us know." And then there's a period of "So, is anyone noticing __________" in game and if so then, "What can we as leaders and members do about it." with a little bit of "Anyone have any idea for any cross FC plots we could get involved in" thrown in for good measure.
I will be one of the first people to put my foot down if it turns into anything nefarious. I'm a leader of a really small FC, and I don't let anyone overpower or talk over me, regardless of how "big" we are.
I came into this game not really knowing a thing about the RP community. I'm hoping to use this as a chance to learn about the FCs that are floating about, big and small, and seeing if there's any I can coordinate with.
