Dear Boot Camp Coaches:

As you no doubt know, the Boot Camp registration thread has exploded (http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=474351). Needless to say, I am going to need your help in these coming weeks on a number of fronts. In order to address these challenges, I am calling an urgent meeting this Saturday, December 15th, at 11am PST.

We will be holding a meeting on the 21st as well, to discuss the details of the first event. For now though, the large scale interest in Boot Camp--more than any of us expected--has brought wit hit both incredible excitement and some formidable challenges. These need to be addressed immediately.

Meeting Details for This Saturday:

When: Sat, December 15th, 11am PST (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WAS EDITED FROM PDT. ABOVE I WRITE PST, WHICH IS CORRECT. PDT IS NO LONGER IN PLAY).
Where: Eryon TS (if you are a coach and do not have this information, send me an email please [sargon.priorityone@gmail.com]).

Thanks everyone. I will talk with you soon. If you can make the meeting, please respond to this thread.

All the best,

Sargon

    I read your message on the Boot Camp site first. But being on such short notice, I will try my best to come.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Most impressive turn around...

    I'm actually glad we have this many people to work with. And I'm sure the turn around for all of them is going to be 100% PvP regulars, since our passionate love for pvp is contagious!

    I just hope they fix a lot of the components to PvP that break it, it could prove difficult to teach someone something that's broken lol.

    What is noteworthy is how many people have posted to that thread, and it is their one and only post ever to these forums. Look at the profiles as you page through to see what I'm talking about.

    That is either an incredibly interesting tidbit of note, or the boot camp is being trolled.

    No problem. We'll figure it out. Most impressive... Snake. :D

    I'm trying to think happy thoughts with this personally. I feel that this is a good thing indeed. If it's getting trolled, then ok, it's getting trolled. When those trolls never show up, or try and disrupt the boot camp, we WILL know their @names, and there will be witnesses, both with the coach(es), other people there to actually learn, and perhaps even devs around.

    What could make that thread go from the hundreds to...many more hundreds would probably have to be giving the boot camp an in-game bulletin (maybe even today (friday) or tomorrow on saturday).

    Y'know..a bulletin? That annoying orange box nobody ever reads and just closes. :P

    im actually a little worried now about what happens if theres "too many" people per coach situation.

    the american education system is a good example of what not to do.

    Hey guys. In order to accommodate some of the European contingent who cannot make it due to the time, I am going to host a second meeting, 2000 CET. I hope this allows more of you to participate. Thanks again.

    Feel free to attend both sessions.

    We will have two meeting times on Sat the 15th of Dec:

    Meeting 1: 11am PST

    Meeting 2: 2000 CET

    This will hopefully allow more coaches to attend.

    Actually, if we assume the thread isn't being trolled, what it tells me is the kind of MMO gamer that is coming into STO under the F2P model.

    Basically - folks generally supportive of PvP, while generally ignorant of STO PvP.

    As a very long time STO player who leveled 8 characters nearly exclusively via PvP, I'm trying to believe this is real. I want it to be, and holy **** Cryptic has a huge opportunity if it is.

    Amen there, I believe in Santa Christ! :P

    Err...

    I believe that this is all going to turn out for the best all in all.

    Meeting Update:

    Okay, coaches, I made the mistake of scheduling the European meeting at the same time as the US (PST) meeting. The two zones are nine hours apart, which means that 11am/1100 PST = 2000 CET. Please excuse my oversight here. As I told woflpack12c--who graciously pointed out my error--my wife and I just moved from Europe back to the States yesterday, and I think the 48 hours of travel must have caught up with me. Temporal mechanics would not have been my major . . .

    Here are the new details:

    US Meeting: 11am PST (this is the UNCHANGED)

    Europe Meeting: 1500 CET (this has been CHANGED and made a bit earlier).

    I know that these times will not fall in the ideal time frame for everyone, but at least having two meetings will offer you some degree of flexibility. If you can't make the meeting, I will of course post notes with the highlights. Again, please pardon my oversight here.

    Alright, well I SHOULD be able to make that. I believe 11 AM PDT would be 1 PM Central time. I'm terrible with time zones, but if that's the case, I should make it.
