When you make something a chore, people will inevitably stop getting interested. Â And by implying that you only want people who want to be in the linkpearl/work actively at the event, or at least that you are displeased with those who do not...well, I know I would not feel welcome at such an event.
No, no, no, no.
Everyone is welcome to the event in general, I meant participating in it as an employee to the staff. When you have well over 70 RPers showing up to each event, you have to be in the loop with the other players as to what is being sold, where the stations are, ect.
I provide actual menus for events, offer prizes and of course, plenty of RP.
From an IC/job perspective, would you really bring a person hired into the LS who promises to be a good bartender, ect, but never shows up to practice to learn his drinks, pick up his uniform, or get to know his fellow associates, come to a major event as an employee? Probably not, no; but they are allowed to come as a patron as some have done in the past.
In the end, most RP events hosted become chores, whether they are military organizations, a hunt FC or raiding. It's something that can't be overlooked. The only difference is I make it as fun as possible by paying the employees and offering them and anyone else who wishes to participate in a wider spectrum.
