Perhaps we could make an introduction video for newbies? When they come onto the server it could bit.ly them to the video on YouTube. It would make it a lot easier on the mods having to explain everything. Also like a step-by-step process to the video. Keep the spawn in place as well, but give them an option for people who don't like to read?
If anyone is up for this idea, the most I could do is imaging/video editing. Someone else would have to shoot the video and record their voice. But I would be more than willing to plan it out and write a script.
Let me once again state why this is a good idea.
1. Integrates noobs into the server easily and without complications.
2. Makes it so mods will not have to explain much
3. Makes the server look even more professional
4. Will also give the server a YouTube channel, which will let us document the history of our server. (This could be used to record events and other things).
Let me know what you think. Then I'll start planning it out. We can crowd source for more ideas.

Sorry dude we have one already,you just search on youtube Age of citycraft and it'll probably pop up. Found 3 videos. All good. But not close to my idea at all. The point of the video is not to showcase the server. But instead introduce players to the server. Kind of like the video you get shown when you are hired by a company. It would show things like... -Hero classes (Also explaining what they need to type and what each class is) -Brief history and lore of the server -How to come up with a good RP bio -Where to post it (with links) -And whatever else people can think of... It would be step by step introduction and then go over other important things. I think it'd be a really cool project to work on. If anyone is interested private message me. |

i agree this is a great Idea, Post it on PMC and maybe it will work.
But then again this video would put guides out of a job.

Only problem about this is that will we know that they watched the video?

Thank you somodest for suggesting these type of videos.
At the moment, the owner of the server has yet to tell me info of our Youtube account, therefore I can't upload any videos of those things.
We might open a sub-forum of Suggestion now.

A wonderful idea in theory but I have a feeling people won't actually watch it. I mean if you read the signs your not really going to need a video and if you don't read the signs your probably not going to want to watch the video either. It's worth a try though, I often feel sorry for staff having to answer the same stupid questions over and over again (When I owned server I never put up with half the crap they do and it still pissed me off)

Guides are pretty much reminders and secretaries of the higher class. We do the work while they are gone, and we report to them for major things. That's the way I see it.
