Are you a Helper?

[Ekaika]

Hey folks,

Hello from the SWGEmu Support crew! As everyone knows, SWGEmu offers an official Support channel in IRC, accessible via the Java interface on the forums, or any IRC client at #swgemusupport.

The channel has been heavily utilized over the last year+, and we hope that if you've used it, it has been of some benefit to you. Many of us have put in countless hours trying to ensure our members are taken care of, to the best of our ability.

We're interested in a possible experiment with the community. Are you a close follower of the project? Do you consider yourself well versed with SWGEmu, LPE, and NOVA? Are you good with computers? Do you enjoy helping out other players? Are you an active IRC user?

If you answered yes to those questions, we might want your help! We're considering opening up Support to the community, to allow more coverage for people needing assistance with basic issues. This will not be an official staff position, however you'll earn the respect and admiration of the Staff, and interact with us problem solving and helping fellow users out.

This thread is to gauge the temperature of interest for such a venture with your feedback. Until such time as we make a decision, the channel remains for Staff support only, so please do not join to idle if you do not have a support related query.

Are you a helper?

First !

[Master Chief]

YES! I want to do whatever I can to bolster the project, no matter how little contribution I may add. Also I will do whatever I can, for who knows? (I'm probably pushing my luck) but maybe one day, I could somehow join the STAFF?

Edit: As far as computer experience, I have good knowledge of navigation such as with files and the like.

I may not have been with the project for very ling but I would love to help out with support on irc / ingame

i am almost fully upto date with the going's on within the project and have alot of experiance with computers and windows.

Well, I do help out a number of people when I Ent in the cantina and I am a bit savy in Java programming, And I do visit IRC though not as much as I should. If you do need me in anything send me a mail. though I'm not that confident I would be of use.

<-- iz <HELPER>

But I'm not spending as much time here atm as I used to. Many reasons, most of it related to getting bored with the game by testing. More and more lately the urge to be around when it's ready to go seems like a better choice than spinning my wheels in this pre-OR phase. Post-OR I'll likely be back with a ticket-storm of fury...

Lol, I hear that.

I no longer work full time thanks to a combo of crohns and colitis. I spend approximately 5-6 days awake at a time. I then sleep 4 hours max. I've been working on the coding techniques employed to bring a more useful purpose to CH and BE but have so much time on my hands that I'd like the opportunity to help. I've worked for Verant prior to SOE buying them out of EverQuest 1, IBM, Sun, SGI, HP, NCR a division of AT&T, Unisys, AT&T itself, Level 3 Networks, Integrated Systems Technologies, North Carolina Central University. I'm versed in UNIX - all *NIX - all but Vista Windows Environments (not only small but 5000+ servers per co-location) in as much as systems engineering, administration, security, networking and software engineering. I have over 20 years of work experience and more then that in the gaming community. My entire life's past time has been devoted to keeping people interested in gaming and helping them learn something that is fun and intellectual. If there is room for myself to be counted on, I'd like the opportunity to further help new comers and vet's alike in their adventures that are SWGEmu. PM me with whatever details you feel are necessary to take on this "Helper" role. If the position is not available at this point in time I would like to be kept in mind for future openings in any area of the project, especially the "Helper" role or helping the CH and BE if your intent is too maintain these two, wonderful IMHO, professions.

Sincerest thanks ahead of time,
Tom

Ekaika do you mean you would'nt mind having help on the sites and stuff from the community or only in game. Is this based on the whole Emu project?

[Tovo]

I helped people.
