As time goes by, the prospective pool of 25-man raiders changes. The Raid Finder, and 10-man difficulty, are splitting up the audience for raid instances in three parts; the instant gratification goes to the raid finder, and a less challenging setup goes to 10-man. SeventhFlight has, and still occupies, a level of play that is more than enough to go through normal modes, and most Heroic modes, but this niche is getting smaller by the day.
With that come new challenges for a community such as SeventhFlight, and we must be creative in how we solve it. We have already taken large steps to increase our attractiveness to potential raiders, accepting social applicants, cross-realm, cross-faction applicants, and using both real-life and in-game referrals. Today, we're proud to announce our newest innovation in terms of recruitment.
Effective immediately, we accept cross-game applicants. Initially, this opportunity is open to players of Star Wars: The Old republic. Their mains must be at least level 50, and have a suitable gear set. Companions need not be equipped in a raid setup. They must join Mumble before their trial, and will be trialled by having them roam around on Hoth without their companion while the rest of the community does a raid instance. We're not sure how exactly this will help, but, hey, at least there will be 25 people on Mumble.
If this initial trial phase goes well, we may open up cross-game recruitment to other games.
