[2019] Announcing: Anchors Away Tour + FAQ

Looking forward to seeing you! Unfortunately not all the staff can come but we'll have a great assortment available to chat with!

We look forward to seeing you, @CaptSemmes and your clan! Make sure to "Hey" to us! Will see you there in Oct!

Less than 2 weeks from now @WulfeHound! We are very excited to be kicking the Anchors Away 2019 Tour off with you on the USS New Jersey! See you there sir!

Yes @Buddy2020,

In addition to the HMCS Haida, both the USS Kidd and the USS Turner Joy have limited capacity.

If you were planning on visiting either I would get your tickets asap.

Hey JeffKnight we did discuss having an event with the U-505 but unfortunately the logistics couldn't come together in time for this tour. We're really hopeful we can make it to the Chicago area in the future!

Please see:

Captains,

We are please to announce, due to the high interest and limited tickets available for the Haida, we have added a second date: Friday the 30th of August (one day earlier)!

If you wish to attend this day, you will need to purchase a ticket for this date, tickets can be found here.

The event thread for this event can be found:

If you haven't seen it; check out the swag that you'll be receiving at the events:

Non-players are of course welcome, however they will still be required to purchase admission ticket to the ship as a standard visitor.

They will be able to access the ship and of course hang out with yourself just will not receive the goodie bag, receive their own scavenger hunt prizes or have an entry into the major prize drawing.

Currently this is an NA led event. Other regions may host similar events however this will be at their determination. We are very lucky that we have many amazing ships available throughout the country to host these events at.

Fem,

We would love to visit Hawaii to visit the USS Missouri (BB-63) and pay our respects to the USS Arizona memorial.

The distance does provide a challenge but perhaps on future Anchors Away Tours we will make it out there.

As noted by another player, various offices have different roles.

The NA Office is a publishing office, where player support and community for NA is housed. While we do compile a lot of player feedback to go onwards to the RU development office for consideration, we are not the core technical development staff, we do not touch the core engine/mechanics of the game. These events allow another opportunity for players to bring us feedback and speak to in person. Each event we gather considerable feedback that is written up and proposed to the correct departments.

Please consider the various staff have various things they are good at and areas we work within, the staff that attend these events are primarily concerned with Community Engagement and Sentiment.

Fem,

Hey YankeeClipper42,

Typically after the event, staff will also drop photos into the individual forum threads for the individual events; such as:

Please see:

Unfortunately with the style of these events and attendance numbers, conducting them on a submarine isn't particularly feasible.

Several locations which we have recently visited have also had Submarines on display too, including: USS Massachusetts, USS Alabama, and USS Little Rock.

We will hopefully be working more with some Sub museums in the future too!

Fem,
