How can we improve Monk Guidance for New Players?
For sure it is hard but I think a tutorial server would make it better. Maybe if its possible a tutorial made with npcs, if its not then as soon as the player read the accepted app notification contact a monk as a requirement to join the server, not letting them wander if they are not wandering souls.
This of course demands more CT members so they may cover the new player demands but if you want to improve the guidance, you need hands on it.
Also I think the guidance may be done with some role play, this will take players to embrace the use of rp channel before the ooc. A good narrated introduction to the server may be the immersive experience that a new player needs, and if you make it well you may cover the mechanics of the server AND the correct use of role play at the same time, however this could obviously take some time but I’m sure that if its well made neither the monk nor the player will feel that they are wasting time
Have you ever had a negative experience with the monks?
I’m pretty new on the server so as far as I can tell, no.
As a New Player, were you helped by a monk?
Yes, Epistile did it well
Did the monk guidance give you a better understanding of how the server works?
Yes and no , but I think my case is particular
Why or why not?
Well I had read almost the entire wiki before being accepted on server so I made his job much easier. I knew how to use the chat and most of the commands, just needed to experience them in-game, but he has been answering a lot of personal questions that I had via Discord so he is doing his job
Do you think that monk guidance is beneficial to players who are new to the server?
Its a need to do thing, this server is complex but beautiful, all it needs is a friendly guide and patience. For sure its not a server for everyone but, if you have a good host, it may be the ideal place to enjoy the rp on minecraft
As a new player, were you left feeling more confident after being helped by a monk?
Of course, it feels so great having someone you can trust to help you with your questions, but it is the new player’s responsibility to not abuse this, Monks are persons with a personal life too and they have things to do, between them, playing quietly on the server
Do you feel that the monks are necessary for assisting new players on the server?
Yes, just as I said, totally necessary
