Problem there is that most people here don't pay for the Academy, and could feel like second class citizens of a sort.

Oh my gods. Were those my first challenges? I actually remember them.

There are lots of old names in those threads. Some very cool nerds. Made me go back to find my first challenge. (#22) Names I haven't seen around the forums in a long time.

Yeah, that might be true. I guess most Academy members might hang out on Facebook in the members-only group there...

 

But still, if you could humor me, do you have any ideas or suggestions?

That's only because they don't know how awesome this group is.  The FB group is pretty useful, but this group is amazing for me.

Hum.  Shared forums instead of separate?  When I was actively doing the academy lessons, I kinda dropped off here because there's only so much bandwidth and time.

Ehh, what? There are other forums as well?

(Or is that perhaps something that has since been replaced by the Facebook groups?)

Oh man, I hadn't put a foot in the academy in forever!

 

Linking the character sheet (I believe those are free?) on the forum profile?

Other than that, I'd mainly see more links in the Academy linking to the forum (guilds, mainly, for quests accountability, which would make us share our quests more and let other people try them even without paying the registration fee (which could then be a bad thing for NF's business model though I doubt the Academy, with its one time fee - enjoy forever policy is what allows the NF team to go on)).

Living life as a Druid is about walking with the beasts. It's about being scared, looking your fears in the eyes and going on anyway. Dread doesn't go away, you just learn to know it. It's still a beast, it still has fangs, but you walk among it.

That would be cool if the character sheets linked to the forum. I like the character sheets, but don't really use it since being it's own thing, I usually just forget all about it.

I think they use two different sets of software.

Me too. That's one reason connecting it to the forum more somehow might be a good idea, for me at least :)

On here? Where/how more exactly did you have in mind? Putting a link in "About Jean" or "Class" in the left meny is the easier option. Or did you have something more elaborate in mind?

Creating quests for others to try to complete sounds awesome! Kind of a little similar to our PvP challenges?

Connecting our Academy character quests to our forum Five Week Challenges would also be really cool, but, even putting aside all the technical challenges, I'm not sure what the best way to do that would be. Any ideas?

Are you talking about the same thing Jean is talking about, or did you mean the other way around? If so, where on the forum should it link to? Your daily battle log? Your current challenge? Your forum profile page? Something else?

Yes the same one. So, are you saying that you think you could put  a link to that in our about me setting? That would be amazing.

Yeah, shouldn't be too hard. I'll do it like I did for the reputation points

 

The biggest problem is that I have no way of knowing if a member here on the forum is also a member of the Academy. And even if I did, I still have no way of knowing the url to their Academy profile, it's just a random character number.

 

Someone who worked for NF could probably run a match on academy member emails and forum member emails, but even so, what's to say you used the same email to sign up for the forums and the academy?

 

So the only way to make it work is probably an opt-in kind of thing where I ask anyone who installs my userscript to provide their Academy character URL. 

Asking for input like that in a userscript, and storing it somewhere, is nothing I've ever done before. So it'd be a fun learning experience, and I'd love to do it :)  I'd just like to know that more than like three of us would actually use it :) And to make more people want to use it, I want to provide more features from the get go. Hence my ask for ideas :)
