I would like to propose an event to assist and encourage new players.
Firstly, I propose that you setup a new page for new players to create an account, offering them “new player packages” when they create their account, similar to other games.
Eg.
Bronze: $5
1 month VIP
Starter Gear
Silver: $15
1 month vip
Starter Gear
New Player Headgear
Title
1500 KP
Gold: $30
3 months vip
Starter Gear
New Player headgear
Title
3000kp
With an option to create a free account with no rewards on the page as well of course.
Something like that. Basically the idea would be to assist new players by giving them some starter gear to help them when they begin the game, as I think this is one of the biggest struggles for true new players. (The reason for the packages is because if free accounts got the gear it would assist gold farmers too much.)
The starter gear I propose is basically a full set of basic gear account bound and useable by novice/first jobs. However for the armor to have +300hp and first aid skill heal buffed up to be a reasonable heal.
I think this would help new players a LOT. I also suggest maybe some kind of mentor system which rewards partying with new players.
As a part of this promotion, I suggest giving away keys on mmorpg sites to encourage hype etc.
Finally as a part of this event I suggest introducing a new monthly event where mods highlight a website or tutorial aimed at new players and put it on the loader, as well as keeping a list of previous highlighted websites somewhere for new players to look through.
Anyway I have been thinking about this a lot, because I had some friends start playing the game and I think if I wasn’t there to give them gear and help them, they probably would have quit by now. I think partying/guilds are the key to keeping new players, but I also think that some people will take time to meet people and need assistance to get started in a more “new player friendly” way.
