Gugrontid Bartender?

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

We purposely left this npc out due to players raising such a fuss when we added on in Kada El's

Discuss below.

[Farren Kutter]

I'd like to see another haven for RP to grow, and leaving it tender-less may help that and give us once more the freedom we once had to RP the bartender in Kada El's

[Lokter Tarvitz]

NO! leave the bartender out! not everyone wants to be a hero who walks into the tavern at the end of a long day, some just want to RP a simple job, such as the bartender, and with the bartender being players it will be more like a reall tavern with information being picked up and passed on...

it really will help grow RP in the community.. and make Gugrontid a more busy location

I voted no.. but...

I would like to see a 'head barman/maid' there.. with quests for players to 'work at the bar' and sell bear/drinks/food... and such like.

How this would work - I don't know... perhaps there could be a box given to the Player by the NPC... and you can 'buy goods from the box' as a player - selling them to other players to get your tria back... and when it is empty [ie it has gained the required amount of tria to complete the quest] to gain your Experience points and a wage you give it back to the NPC?

just an idea...

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Is anyone rping the bartender there now?

[Mythryndel]

I do not have an vested interest in this issue. I think that in order for a tavern to be a tavern, they should have a tavern keeper... but if someone wants to RP this, then so be it.

What I would like is a merchant in Gugrontid that can buy animal parts or hides. I think that having an individual in the tavern there would be appropriate for this. Also, if someone is going to RP a tavern keeper or barmaid... having the means to prepare food and drink would also be appropriate.

I've been considering making a Gugrontid barkeeper alt once my current plotlines with my main character are wrapped up, but I think an NPC would be great for when the people there aren't interested in playing the staff.

Not to mention, not every tavern has only one staff member running it.

Also, I love Lolitra's idea.

[Velh Krome]

How about the real owner is an NPC, but will be placed somewhat in the back for leaving defined space behind the counter for players can take the role of (an) employee(s)?

[Mythryndel]

I had a similar thought... add a couple of NPCs, similar to Fruntar and Tilavi at Brado's... but leave the spot behind the bar open for players...

I would be interested in knowing just how many players HAVE played any role in the Gugrontid tavern, not just how many think they might at some point in the vague future.

[Lolitra, Celorrim Purrty Twins]

Um.... Velh, did you not read my post?

but yes it would be very interesting to know how many actually play as staff....

"Um".. obviously I didnt.

NPC yes - barkeep, no.

[Vannaka]

a while ago (maybe 4 or 5 months) a guild one of my chars was in had a small event, where we carried over a bunch of drinks and food from the kada-el and set up shop in the gugrontid bar...  I think 2 people bothered to leave the mine to come see what was going on during the 2 hours we were there.

[khoridor]

I don't vote.
I've never seen anyone in that tavern, ever, so I'd say yes. But the argument for played bartenders is very good.

I do vote to support Lolitra's idea, though.
The owner doesn't have to be in the tavern.
And, maybe, there could be a system of empty mugs to give back to the bartender (or leave on the tables). Maybe a full mug becomes an empty mug, which is a quest item that cannot be sold, only given back to complete the bartender quest.
