BG, we want to help the game stay alive, and for that we need new players joining and donating, and the best way to do this is by two major points:
1 - Make the low level maps easier to walk by.
I believe they need something like the high level maps, 1 level per area, once you leveled you can travel to the next map. It's REALLY impossible to walk by the maps without Mowglik's maps or Wiki open.
1.1 - Create a new icon below the World area called "Realms".
Clicking there another tab will open, showing all the realm with areas and minnimun level to enter.
2 - Giving tools to more experienced players help low level players.
Some ideas:
2.1 - Abillity to cast X buffs per day on players who joined in less than a month. (Without stamina use)
2.2 - Mentoring list like I said in the first post.
2.3 - Create 5 phantom spaces on each guild, where we can accept only players who joined in the last 60 days, after that the player will be kicked, or transfered to the normal players list on the guild.
I believe those things needs HCS attention ASAP, more than anything else on the game, because without keeping new players the game will die. After all that implemented I believe you guys can start to promote the game again.
1) i think that if you follow the epic quests that you are pretty much settled for the level 100's ^^ i mean the epic quest takes you to about level 40 or 50 or something like that but by then you kinda get a hang of the game and the leveling areas get more obvious ( they also already made it a lot easier already ^^ )
1.1 the official guide isn't that many clicks away so basically you want a button that automatically takes you to the realms part of the fsguide? i really don't see that happening sorry it's there already
2) i've pretty much always seen new people go into a guild after like 10 levels or even less and you gotta know that they are there to buff them up i'm personally pretty darn sure that whenever a new player goes into global chat or just asks anyone in the pm for help that they will get help.
you can give the older players more stuff to help them out easier but it would just get added to a very long development roadmap
if the new players reach out wich they most likely do then they will get helped by a lot of people ^^
( we nice folks yea )
and with this
awooooooooooo!!!!!
