One of the things we've said of late is that we are going to make a YouTube video that describes briefly how to get started on the server. We think this is fundamental to have before starting another advertising spree. simply put loka is complex and unlike any other server, so a lot of people get overwhelmed when they are new and some just flat-out quit as a result. We feel, beyond just a new video, that there are things we can improve on with the server. Converting /town list, /town apply, and /c ranks into a GUI system that uses towns banners for more structure and ease-of-use are a few examples.
These kinds of small, but important changes are the kind of thing that make the server feel more mature and help new players understand a server better. So, what we are looking to do is reach out to the whole community and get your opinions on small but effective things we could change to help players learn how the server works.
Try to remember when you were new, and think of things that might have confused you, or things you wish you had that would've helped you figure out what to do on the server. Even small features that we already have but just could be changed a slight bit to be a lot more effective (like the examples above).
if we can really solidify our new player experience, and clean up some old and crusty systems, we can hopefully do a lot better job retaining new players that next time we choose to advertise. Let's hear it!
