SOM1else Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 So, I was thinking "how cool would it be if we had 17th Shard shirts that we could buy" I think that this is something that should seriously be considered, we all know that the servers aren't that great and proceeds raised from selling shirts could be used on an upgrade, it would also be cool to wear at signings and conventions to promote awareness for the site and mark us as members. I don't know what would have to be done to make this happen or if it is even feasible, but this is the suggestion box it's our job to make suggestions and your job to consider the practicallity of said suggestions so go ahead and consider. P.S. IIRC Kerry is a linguist, I suggest you consult her on the meaning of the word "Soon". We're all still waiting for that first episode of Shardcast to be released 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would love this. I know it's something that had been discussed at some point about having shirts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstRainbowRose Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Great to hear that there's an interest! It's something we've been considering, and actually I was going to make a blog post/survey about this and other ideas a little bit later in the week. Still, if anyone has any other thoughts we'd love to hear them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silus - Shard of Flame Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) This would also make it easier to spot each other at signings and stuff, thus reducing the need for the awkward question "have you ever heard of 17th Shard?" Would you be able to go through InkWing for this? That would make things easier. Also, it would add extra exposure to people going in for the Brandon shirts, who would definitely fall into the group of people who we want to be aware of us. EDIT: And can it be blue on a green background? I have lots of dark shirts, but not enough green ones. Jus' sayin.

Adrienne Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I would love to have/buy a shirt! I know the amount of colors have something to do with the production cost so something simple might be best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 We will be considering both cost effectiveness and design factors when choosing the colors of the shirts, too. I know we've always planned to have shirts, but with everything else that's going on, it's sort of been pushed to the back seat for a while - especially when compared to things like, you know, epic giveaways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOM1else Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Glad to see that my idea wasn't a waste of time and that this is actually something that you guys have already been looking into let us know what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubix Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Glad to see that my idea wasn't a waste of time and that this is actually something that you guys have already been looking into let us know what happens. I actually spoke to a merchandise guy on Sunday, and we may be looking into things other than shirts, such as bumper stickers, buttons, con ribbons, and other stuff. I just need to discuss things with the rest of the staff. Is there anything else people want to see? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Figurines. Of ourselves, our 17th Shard personas. I'm only halfway kidding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've always been in favor of shirts. It'll happen, guys. That said if you want to help with the site, there's a donate button on the About page. I heartily recommend you use it IIRC Kerry is a linguist, I suggest you consult her on the meaning of the word "Soon". We're all still waiting for that first episode of Shardcast to be released The air quotes are fully intentional in saying "soon". Figurines. Of ourselves, our 17th Shard personas. I'm only halfway kidding. Shiro would make a sexy figurine, but NCSoft would probably sue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KChan Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I can already buy one. As for figurines of ourselves, I know a company partnered with WoW to do that, but the things are ridiculously expensive, as one would imagine from custom work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silus - Shard of Flame Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm not sure how mine would work since Shards don't have physical bodies. Well, they DO, but their bodies are made of pure power so it doesn't really count. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe ST Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 technically, if you're the dude thats holding the shard of flame (which is synonymous of being the flame), it could be a statue of yourself, or just about anything I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOM1else Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) As the Shard of Flame would have the power over flame, I think that this would be a good figurine for Silus, I think it represents him in a nice symbolic way. It has the power to create flame, and it represents the power to destroy flame. Yeah I know that that was a bit of a stretch but still it was the best thing I could find for him Edited October 1, 2011 by SOM1else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
