Some questions about them and what they do.

What does a volunteer do?

What are the perks of the job ( Free subscription) ?

What are the bad points ( Having to leave guild)?

What is the minimum requirements to be one ( Age, Languages, Chars)?

What servers do you have to be on to become one ( Camlann )?

And how do I/Anyone become one?

What does a volunteer do?
http://daoc.goa.com/news/benevole_present.php3?id_article=608 tells it all pretty much


What are the perks of the job ( Free subscription) ?
None other than getting to play an NPC every now and then, plus glimpses into future patches. We get no special treatment at all, and in fact are expected to act better than the average player.

What are the bad points ( Having to leave guild)?
None again, we are happy to offer our services to both the community and the GM teams, thats the point of volunteering. Nothing really changes other than the nags about mob pops and "gifv GM i gimped myself" PMs.

What is the minimum requirements to be one ( Age, Languages, Chars)?
Experience in game, tbh I dont think we were asked our ages, but language according to your server is very important. After all, we are sort of customer releations to a degree. One thing that was mentioned, was that being an /advisor and showing willing to help others is a bonus.

What servers do you have to be on to become one ( Camlann )?
I have yet to see a Camlann (might be wrong tho) E&E, but I think they take for all.

And how do I/Anyone become one?

Volunteers are handsome people IRL who not only model for various glamour magazines, but they also are also regularly consulted in the appointment of new Nobel laureates! Really! And yes, I am one!

No, he said modern Austin Powers--bad teeth is so 70s! No, in fact, I have great teeth, a fit body and I get lots of exercise, both in the gym and out, from girls who just can't resist an E&E volunteer!

For himself, Whoodoo is more like Fabio, but fortunately without the ponytail!
