2. Newbie Retention

Similar to the previous mentor system, staff from various teams have come together to work on a system to enable new players to get situated into the server much easier than before. This should hopefully enable and increase player retention. Attached to this, for a long time, players have complained about our spawn island, Mali, and due to this we have been working to make it easier to navigate.

 

To be completely honest, I really think that this won't work unless it's made on some sort of mechanical plugin or akin. Even if the staff works towards getting a player started, once he sees how the playerbase is, he'll either:

    Become toxic

    Become a roleplayer

    Become a forum cancer

    Become a good player in soul

 

Like our children, they watch us and learn based off that. If we try to act cool towards new players, they'll want to be "cool" and start to write like a ******* retarded like htis broooo imso fvunny i dont even use ponctuaciton hhahahahahhhhhhhhhah.

 

Player retention might increase? Yes, it might increase with the efforts of the GM team, yet, it's the community that makes the server. Working with nation leaders won't work, instead, you have to work with influent people or each single individual and try to make them better people.

References of becoming good players from other good players? I walk somewhere and I see him running up and down at Johannesburg while roleplaying with a very small niche group or being rude to new players. I'll elaborate this question later and how to solve it.

Unfortunately, and it's sadly the case, this is very true. Our retention will not increase as long as the community to continues to act the way it does. It needs to be a progressive change for all of us, from player and staff a like. Players cannot expect Staff to just 'fix' player retention, it doesn't work like that, and Staff cannot expect Players to either. It needs to be with semblance of collaboration, for all the efforts the staff put in, the community can simply negate if it doesn't change and grow with us. I hope that players are starting to learn this, and I hope staff that do not already know this learn too.

 

Wise words, mister memeking, wise words.

"Now we have the capabilities to genocide the raevir menace once and for all!" says a greasy, former Lucienist as he peeks out into the world from the slight opening of his bunker's entrance which had not been opened since he and his comrades last left their abode during the Ducal War to answer Paul's aid. Around him is a barren desert wasteland - 2016 LOTC. He hisses vehemently as the sun's light touches his skin and he closes the hatch, returning to his dark, damp dwellings to spread the news of Zhulik's ascension to the GM team. A glorious victory for Aesterwald's survivors who are still struggling with Nexus Region glitches in their bunker. What other obstacles must they overcome in this new era?

i think making the spawn more navigable is good but it won't retain people on its own.  in my experience, players mostly stay on the server when they get involved in groups and actually rping with people.

 

most players got their starts with groups such as city guards and in groups like these is where a lot new players learned how to rp.  i think the staff team should help new players get in contact with these types of groups by giving a list of players they can contact to join their respective faction/race's group.

 

good luck on this endeavor mr. tahmas
