[Survival] The mission

[Towelie]

My mission is to achieve a lower guest bounce rate (aka more guests stick around on survival)
My way of achieving that is:

- Re-doing the 20 something page help book into a small 3 page book which contains the essentials (get the core facts to them without boring them). The big book will be available as an optional read in /gui once we implement this
- Reduce first time offender punishments for non-griefing guests
- Reward guests for staying on the server (Dpa has an idea on how to do that, I am running it past the Manager+ team atm). Basically give them some empbucks for playing a certan amount of hours.
- Reduce Member rank requirements if guests have a forum account


I need feedback on these actions that we are currently debating on, and possibly more actions you think we should take.

I think the rewards is a great idea! What about players from other Sft servers? Can we do something for them? Personally I donated so I didn't have to be guest but I had 500 hours on pixelmon when I joined survival. Would we be able to give them not a guest rank but not member either something different?

loving the idea of this :3

tbh i think in-game challenges would be a pretty cool thing to implement, like skyblock challenges, but for survival :0

edit: sometimes you run out of things to do on survival lmao

I love those ideas, but just how much hours will it be reduced from getting member if guests have a forums account?

- Reduce Member rank requirements if guests have a forum account

This. This, this, this.

I'd love to see more players on the forum, and I feel like forum activity really dropped off when we first removed the forum account requirement for becoming a member.

Hopefully this will make players feel more involved, and thus less likely to leave.

Sure, you can do this, but this shouldn't be a priority. Minecraft is a game for kids and the amount that will spend reading a book over playing is very slim.

I think it would be well worth a try for maybe a month and depending on how it went, we would either keep it or revert back.

I totally agree with getting some sort of rank for being apart of the other servers. Even if it is member. They are in fact a member of the SFT community already after all.

I am a professional guest on survival and I approve of this message

Honestly these all sound awesome, but maybe make it so in order for the shortened Member time to work you need to make the forum account match your IGN, this way other people can't make it seem like its theirs?

The uptime requirement modification is now in place on Lost as well, along with a post asking for player input on how to get new players attention.

That can be checked by asking them to /website link their ign to their forum account
As for reducing member uptime, I was thinking half.

I  think we should at least try it. Maybe make 10-12 hours to get member. Also maybe change the guest color to something that stands out more.

i definitely think making a forum account would be a good requirement for becoming member c:

Well actually thinking about it, some people may want to rank up and just play the game without being forced to go to the servers own personal page. It's kinda like adds, some people would be grateful, but those who just come and see they can't get all these ranks without actually becoming a forum active member, will probably just leave and find a better place.
