COMMUNITY TEAM UPDATE LOG

SEPTEMBER 2019

INTRODUCTION

Hello again!

 

Back yet again with another monthly update log. This month has seen a lot of changes for the CT team, primarily working with last month’s large influx of new members, and taking another look into our policies and training. Though there has undeniably been some bumps along the way- our team is finally settled and really progressing in a lot of different areas.

 

If you’re not aware of the CT’s policies, have a read here:

THIS MONTH’S DIRECTION

Focus Groups

As a team this month, we’ve poured a lot of our time and energy into establishing a few key focus groups for the team. These have primarily been the source of our teams energy, other than applications. Our focus groups, include the WIKI, NPD, TUTORIAL ISLAND, EVENTS & MEDIA. These are each headed by a particular manager, with LotsOfMuffins taking care of both Media & Events. We’ve made lots of progress on these- and will detail more of those specifics later on.

 

SEPTEMBER DATA

Overview

Our team has been busy at work with applications this month. We saw a total of 267 apps handled, with 186 new players welcomed onto LOTC. Our accepted/denied ratio stands at a really, really good number right now- with almost every ¾ applications being accepted, and almost ¼ of them on the first attempt.

 

A few months into our new application format- we’re still seeing great acceptance rates, even with a slightly more difficult process.

Another aspect in which we’ve started collecting data on is the locations in which New Players are commonly being guided to, through our guidance and monk system.

PROJECT UPDATES 

 

WIKI - Ivory

I recently took charge of the Wiki team in the later part of this month, and so far we’ve already made some great progress on the various pages. Particularly, we’ve put all of the nation’s various settlement guides into an organised wiki- which we will hopefully be able to link to newer players to further help them find a suitable nation to settle in. Our team often has a ‘weekly goal’, be that of a particular page or category of pages.

 

COMMUNITY EVENTS - LotsOfMuffins

The community events team has been working towards creating a large-scale scavenger hunt with fantastic prizes available. In addition, we are continuing to plan and host Battle of the Arts, which you’ll be able to see our next post for soon! Lastly, earlier in the month, you might have seen our feedback form collecting ideas for future community events. We’ve compiled these and are currently working towards planning more awesome events for you guys!

 

TUTORIALS- MamaBearJade

With the new month, we are approaching making things more accessible not only to new players but also old. We have split a group to work on Tutorial Island, and another to work on guides. We intend to create information that is not only accurate but also informative for all. Keep an eye out for more information on our work.

 

OCTOBER’S DIRECTION

Monks & Nation Connections 

As we roll into October, our team is going to be heavily focusing on a particular aspect of aiding new players- monks & nation connections. We recognise that there have been a few issues associated with this, so our goal is to further communication between nation leaders, ourselves, and new players.

 

Through looking into different ideas of ways we can open particular channels in the NPD, as well as reworking our monk system- this month will be full of nation guidance trial & error to settle on monk policies that are the best option for the staff, players, and nation leaders.

 

Until next time!
