Ivoreyy 2303 Share Posted January 2, 2019 AT MONTHLY UPDATE LOG- DECEMBER 2018 Introduction Hello all! I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I’m here to update you all on the progress and state of the Application Team as we stand now, and the future plans to establish a solid team and good foundation going into 7.0 During the month of December, I was given the position of Application Team Director upon the departure of Dromui. I have lots of plans to take the team forward, and look forward to sharing some great projects and work that we’ve been up to lately. Though we’ve had a bit of a rocky month in general, things have all been sorted to ensure a smooth new year for the AT. We gained and lost a few members, but as of now I believe the team is in the perfect position going forward. However still the AT application page is closely looked at, so should you wish to join the team then go ahead and post an application :) Application Team Roster Monthly Application Data This month we saw 226 new applications to LOTC. From the removal of guest applications a while back, we’ve seen a massive increase in the proportion of accepted applications compared to denied ones. Pending-Accepted applications covered 39.4% of all applications in December, followed closely behind by Accepted applications with 35.4%, Pending-Denied with 18.6% and Denied with 6.6%. Overall, 25.2% of apps were denied, whilst 74.8% were accepted- equating to roughly ¾ of applications being successfully accepted. Spoiler 65.7% of accepted players were from an American timezone, which is actually a decrease of around 6% from last month. December saw an increase of European accepted applications, with 10% more than last month, sitting at a comfortable 31.3%. Oceanic still remains in the most minority, seeing a decrease from 6.5% in November to 3% in December. Spoiler Now, onto the more interesting stuff. Humans were once again this month the most popularly applied race, taking over half (52.1%) of all applications, however humans were actually down 4% than last month. Elves followed behind with 32.7%, an increase of 4% compared to last month. Dwarves held 5.3% (a decrease of 2%), Orcs with 1.7% (Remaining the same as last month), and halflings also with 1.7% (A decrease of 1.6%). Spoiler Spoiler Monthly Team Data Going through a difficult period, the AT team remained fairly good in response times, and we’ve seen a great increase in applications handled by each member- especially in our newbies. Keep in mind with this data that some members have been added to the team, are on hiatus, or unable to make quota due to other reasons. Spoiler Once again I’d like to congratulate @MamaBearJade on her hard work! Earning her Queen of Quota for the second month running! Member Alterations +Ivory promoted to AT Director+ +Gusano promoted to AT Trainer+ +Mamabearjade promoted to AT Trainer+ +Nectorist promoted to AT Trainer+ +Aquaquean accepted to the AT+ +Cornivore accepted to the AT+ -Gaia_- -Dromui- A Year in Review So seeing as it’s the new year, I’d like to take a look back on the team throughout 2018. I myself have been on the AT for over six months now, and it’s overall been a full year of ups and downs, changes, and lots and lots of applications. This year we handled 4045 applications as a team, and welcomed 2,457 new accounts onto the server. This is an astounding amount! Overall we’ve seen 60.8% of all apps accepted this year, compared to 39.2% denied. Spoiler I’ll leave in all the numbers for races and sub-races here: Spoiler Projects of 2018 In 2018 we’ve seen numerous projects take off, and overall lots of work has been put into both independent and group ventures surrounding new player help, retention and data collecting. Some of these include: -A new application format -A new alt application format -The New Player Discord -Pots and Pandits -Various guides and documents aimed to help new players -The LOTC Skin Archive -The Tailors Guild -Cloud Temple Monks -Cloud Temple Weekly -New Player Village -AT Tickets And probably many others, to be honest. A couple of these will be continuing into 2019, as well as some being revived. Stay tuned to see more information coming out regarding these- as the team is heavily immersed into new personal projects as part of the AT. We’re especially looking into new ways of collecting feedback and data, reviewing the team as a whole, and delving into ideas from the team and wider community. I highly encourage members of the community to come forward if they have any ideas themselves, and a suggestions/feedback thread will be posted soon. Thank You This momentous amount of applications and project work could not have been done without a boatload of people who have contributed across 2018. I’d like to thank past and present members of the AT this year: @Vaynth @Sky @Imi @Quavinir_Twiceborn @MrMineLoveDude @Farryn @Ixli @Cordial @_Jandy_ @Elennanore @Riftblade @Jenny_Bobbs @Gaia_ @Torky @BritBritt @PiousChorale_ @Lumiin @MickMeist @Dromui @Aelsioln @Cornivore @Fid @EtherealPvP @ImCookiie @MyLittleUnicorn @Boruto @BronCloch @Pun @MadYeAd @Jollybee @Demigryph @Kony2020 @_Hexe_ @Zombiefide @Keefy @sophiaa @Top_Goon @ZachoSnacko @LaffenOutLoud @Gilded @Gusano @Jondead @Nectorist @StarGazzer @MamaBearJade @Aquaquean and also my very good friend @Lockezi Thank you for a wonderful year AT.

Ivoreyy 2303 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 @Lockezi fixed and which update did it have you joining cause i must have missed it- went through all of them since december 2017 ? @Tato The amount of ATs we have at any given time is usually dependent on the activity of applications. For example- going into june/july there’s always a couple more taken on as americans hit summer break and activity soars. Right now our numbers seem to be doing well in terms of keeping a good response time with apps- but when that begins to change we’ll accepting new members. Trainer positions also don’t add a whole lot- just the odd occurrence of a new member who needs the run-down of how to do apps :) It’s not really a management position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananasaurus 64 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Wow these are neat numbers! But wait, no mention of creature application races like Hou-zi and the newly-CA’d Kharajyr. Any numbers on those? :3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh, I see. Well then. I guess I’d appreciate a little free advertisement on that fact that we exist so we don’t die out/stop getting new players, haha, but that makes sense. Oh well!

We’re actually putting together a comprehensive guide that’ll include info about these races. Like sky said we don’t actually handle these apps- but the fact that the opportunity is there and able for players after they are whitelisted will be advertised :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
