More voting sites and rewards

[mistermano]

More Voting Sites:
This is possibly the easiest way to advertise the server and get more people. Here are a few:
http://topg.org/World-of-Warcraft
http://www.gamesites200.com/wowprivate/ <- Highly recommended
http://www.xtremetop100.com/world-of-warcraft <- Highly recommended
http://www.gamesitestop100.com/worldofwarcraft
http://www.openwow.com/
http://www.top100arena.com/wow-private-server/ <- Highly recommended

Voting Rewards
Add cataclysm crafting materials and/or recipes as rewards for vote points. Something like this:

• 1x Chaos Orb - 20/25 vote points
  
• 20x (Full stack) of Whites * - 10 vote points
  
• 20x (Full stack) of Greens ** - 15 vote points
  
• 200x Volatile (air/water/fire/earth/life) - 10 vote points

* Embersilk Cloth, Savage Leather, (Obsidium, Elementium, Pyrite) Ore, (Cinderbloom, Whiptail, Azshara's Veil, Stormvine, Twilight Jasmine or Heartblossom), Hypnotic Dust, Cooking stuff, white recipes.
** Jewelcrafting gems (Hessonite, Nightstone, etc), green recipes.

Having at least chaos orbs buyable with vote points would no doubt increase the number of people voting, since it's a Bind on Pickup item and everyone is always needing it on heroic dungeons/raids

Reducing heirlooms' price from 20 to 10 or 5 (at least for the 1 - 80 ones) could work nicely.
New players have little incentive to vote as soon as they join, since heirlooms require 2 days of voting. Being able to get at least one piece of heirloom gear within a single day/before starting playing would be a big help. People won't use it forever, since as soon as they reach the level cap and find anything better, they'll switch.

Tabards:
All tabards (save this one) are 20VP. That doesn't make sense. Nobody will use vote points to get their guild tabard, for instance.
Capital factions (Stormwind, Orgrimmar, etc) tabards should be removed.
PVP (Arathor, Frostwolf, etc), Outland and Northrend factions tabards could cost 5VP. Uncommon/Green tabards at 10VP, Rare/Blues at 15 and Epic/Purples at 20. They count mostly as vanity items, so they shouldn't cost much.

a lot of good suggestions.
I completely agree with adding more votesites. The major ones like xtremetop100 and top100arena aren't even there. Would help the server a lot when it comes to getting new players.

Also another suggestion I'd like to add when it comes to vote points is to add a lot of transmog items.

There are many nice looking low level items that exist in the database, but are not in our vote rewards.

Good example would be http://www.wowhead.com/item=32824 http://www.wowhead.com/item=18583 http://www.wowhead.com/item=18584

Really great suggestions.

While I'm up for more items available at the Gear section, I'm one of those that is against legendaries and items that players really aren't supposed to get, like those you linked, especially for vote points.

Those items are not legendary items, item quality is Artifact.



WoW Freakz Launcher v1.1

I've already seen some people with those warglaves that I linked. I think they got them from that "Find the GM" event.

Besides, it's not like any of those Artifact items are overpowered or anything. They're just low level items that happen to look good. Make them like 50 vote points if you think they're so valuable.

When it comes to legendary items, people can get anything via donating anyway.

[mistermano]

Thing is, you can't get either of those normally in game. It'll be up to the GMs anyway. I only wish they would at least put Freakz on those voting lists

Best solution is to make these Hide and Seek events way more often. Like twice a week?
