Howdy! Fair warning, im not good at BB codes. Don't expect a lot of them. This will probably look like a wall of text. So let me entice you with what the giant wall of text is going to be about... NEW PLAYER GROWTH!! How about I tell you all a story of a game that is now dead? A long, long time ago, in a world known as GaW, many crime families fought eachother. Families such as "ZAFT", and "The Outsiders" fought with great courage and strength. They fought until the very end, when the great apes shut down the game. Throughout it all, a great player named Shaggy had a family (a family is a clan) named "Mystery Inc". Shaggy owned one of the only clans that would take in and teach brand new players, where as most clans ripped each others allies apart. Shaggy would look for new players, and send them an invite to his family (GaW had a feature where you could invite people to your family. Take note, ATA_Charlie). Shaggy would then proceed to teach the fresh noobs how to grow, and what crime bosses to buy for maximum growth (crime bosses = buildings). Shaggy would teach them about build mechanics, and how to pvp properly. Shaggy did most of these things by himself, until more players started to show up and help him out. Shaggy was a great role model. And the smartest player in GaW. I think that there is a lot that the apes can do to help new player progression, but there is also a lot that we, the playerbase, can do to help. I know there have been clans before me that have helped new players grow, but I think we need more of them. In the near future, I am going to start a clan that will be focused around helping new players grow. I wanted to know the community's opinion on a couple of things. 1. Whats the best building composition at the start? What should i tell my new players to build? What do we all agree is the best way to start out your game? (Personally, i think its 1 beastiary, 2 guilds, 21 forges.) Let me know what you think. 2. I want to teach new players about PvP as well. Is making a different clan and having a day where all my new players participate in a 24 hour system war a good idea? Is that too over the top? Should I tell them to opt into PvP and see what happens? Should I take some of them and do lowland wars and try to WC? (i suck at wcing) What should i do? 3. What should the clan name be? I want it to be catchy. But not too hard to type. And maybe a little badass so that we can look cool. Give me some ideas.
