EAF Event Hosting Tips

Use this guide when planning and executing events. It will pay back dividends with your event attendance.

1. Talk to as many people as possible, especially those active in chat. Get to know them and create a relationship that makes them want to reply to my pings, or at least acknowledge them.

2. Hosting an informal pre event, getting the people from chat to hop in voice and get comfortable, talk about our days, get a general consensus of what event they want to see and what we can get out of it

3. Pinging people to rally up for the event, getting to a place we can wind up and get ready, whether it’s a chill game or a competitive one. Somewhere we can all be in voice.

4. Encourage those in voice and those in chat (even those who cant attend) to invite their friends who they know can attend

5. Conduct the event. Keep people involved. Communicate, make it fun, and make it so people get something out of it. A CT means nothing if you arent getting people to improve through constant feedback. A raid means nothing if you have 0 good reason to raid. Game nights are lame as fuck if it’s a dozen people playing together silenty. Get to know them! Have some fun! That will make people more likely to return to your events and be more active with you in general. Step 1 is the most important. Building a repitiore with the people who talk in chat, and moreso those who dont, will quadruple your activity in no time!
