Entertainer Archive

You know when you get a story to tell, but there's an awful lot to cover so it's difficult to know where to start and what to include? Well GEMS is one of them. So instead of procrastinating I'll just launch right into it.

Ok, here's the beginning. SWG is released as some players decide to take the entertainer profession. Some of these people ended up/started in Kaadara on Naboo. So time went by and they got to know each other, the one-shot entertainers came and went, the AFK macro-whores died, the suck-it-and-see folk didn't suck that long - and they persevered. Eventually, despite the odds they became Masters in their entertainment of choice, either Dancer or Musician.

And this is where GEMS comes into it.

GEMS is a dreamchild of a player (not a dancer or musician, although he does 'play' on occasion) who frequented the cantina in Kaadara and got to know the regular entertainers in there. He saw the ones who were there regular and working to keep the patrons happy (not your AFK macro whores or the bra-and-knickers-and-I'll-get-tips dancers). Time went by and he saw those same entertainers reach their goals through working at their class to achieve, one-by-one, Master status.

So he goes out and get's himself a big house, furnishes it with lot's of good chairs and tables and the like, and basically turns it into a huge nightclub. He then goes and gets a master tailor to make crested necklaces of varying colours (dependant on the colour he associates with the various entertainers - in my case I'm green - and to name those necklaces after the entertainer he knows). These necklaces then go on the wall as you enter the house so everyone knows which Master Dancer/Musician is honoured enough to have this accolade.

And not one of those Masters refused the invitation to perform there.

No more do I have to put up with punch emotes in the face, 1 credit tip spamming, pre-pubescent sex tells, offer of duels by novice marksmen (which I always win), groups with AFK macroers or dancers who think it's cool to strip to nothing, insults from people I don't even know, fights occuring while I'm trying to heal people, and one in eight people trying to tip me for my work.

GEMS is a nightclub to the west of Kaadara on the Eclipse server, named after those entertainers who persevered to achieve Master and we each have a 'gem' in the hallway named after us. It's a place where music, dance and enjoyment can be found, with healing, food and drink is served to those patrons who frequent it. All entertainers are of Master status and therefore requests for specific music/dances is not a problem (as we no longer have to grind our highest dance/tune to gain XP).

Most importantly, the entertainers who perform there are those who've been chosen for the committment, hard-work and dedication to their profession, contributing to the patrons who they entertained and ensuring they got not only a sterling performance but also a social aspect to the show and quality healing.

I'm so proud I've been chosen as a 'gem'.
