New players incoming!

[Goku_Ironheart]

Hey everyone,

Pretty soon we should be having some new players joining the Aetherlight so what I want to do here is to brainstorm some things we can do to help new players in the coming weeks have a great time starting the game.

There have also been talks here about possibly trying to start up some meetings so people can help out new players which I think is awesome!
I was also thinking about places where we could meet up that these new players will be able to get to and see everyone would be awesome.

We will have some more information and an announcement in our upcoming blog post which we are hoping we can post on Wednesday(New Zealand time).

To sum up, let's throw out some ideas about what we could do as a sort of "Welcome to the Aetherlight!" for these new players and where we could do these things. We want to make their time that much more awesome so any ideas are welcome!

Hey, @Goku_Ironheart, this is a wonderful idea! I think one thing we can do is help them find some of the outfits like the Shepherd's Watch one. Another thing is to- like most of us do- just help people with missions. Maybe even tell them about forums so they can get help on here, too. I might think something up later, but for now, that's all.

Well, we can't change the game to make like a welcome sign, and we can't really give stuff to them soooo... maybe if we have nothing to do we could help them fight, we could help them with quests, each experenced person could help one new person at a time! Just like we spread God's word, we should help others!

Just a suggestion, you don't have to do what I say, but its an idea
Tell me what you think

[Annaliese_Dancemuddle]

That's a great idea, @Sambo_Gleamwalker! I will take your advice on that. And also, we can help them in those boss fights like Mega Drill, Crusher, Baron SizzlePot, and all the others.

@Goku_Ironheart, I have a question. How do you know that there are some more players coming soon. That being said, how many? I think the best way to introduce and get them started on the forums would depend on how many arrive at one time. Does this have something to do with Aetherlight's part in the museum?

[Hans_Oddcraft]

Are they new beta testers, @Goku_Ironheart, or are they from a school that Aetherlight is going to be partnering with, or, like @Xonos_Darkgrate1 said, people who have to do with the Museum, or is Aetherlight boosting promotion?

[Goku_Ironheart]

@Annaliese_Dancemuddle
That sounds really good yeah!
Getting more people on the forums would be awesome, great idea!

@Sambo_Gleamwalker
Yeah that is great, helping out with whatever they need and definitely fighting those bigger Automatons would be handy.

@Xonos_Darkgrate1 @Hans_Oddcraft
I more want to focus on what we can do to help new players at this point but those questions will likely be answered with the blog post on Wednesday (NZ).

[Xonos_Darkgrate1]

Okay then, here's my suggestion.
We can create a "get-started" section for the forums. Similar to the role-play section.
In there we can post guides and introductions like the topic I made. We can also make character bios to keep people updated on their favorite forums-users or stories. We can also add topics to help newer people know how some things here came about like the President topic or role-play itself. Basically a place where newer players can go if they want to know how this place came to be what it is today.

Introducing myself :)

@Xonos_Darkgrate1, this one is a good tool to use. We can share stuff about ourselves on here. Just an idea... This can be one of the suggestions to newer forum users. Like how we usually just do Random Anything and Signing off and on the forums/game topics-but this could be handy.

[Riley_Lightgrate]

I'm curious about this as well. Either way it will be awesome to have some new players!

[Emily_Purplebottle]

Ah! Good idea! When are they supposed to join?

[Sambo_Gleamwalker]

I have a friend who just joined! I don't know his user name, but he is really nice! I will get back to you on his name. You WILL want to help him!

[Matt_Bonnetfolly1]

Why not make like an Open House or something? We all meet in Lukas' Hideout and meet all the new comers there. We introduce ourselves and start helping them out and chatting away.

[Jacoby_Elderfun1]

Just notices topic. Will comment when I catch up on everything.

[Jacoby_Elderfun1]

@Goku_Ironheart
Yeah! I think this is great idea! I really like @Matt_Bonnetfolly1 idea. But don't have any further suggestions. If you need any help just let me know!

[Sambo_Gleamwalker]

But... the beginners wont be able to go into the hideout. Idk maybe

[Jacoby_Elderfun1]

@Sambo_Gleamwalker
Maybe The Beacon basement/Resistance HQ?

[Sambo_Gleamwalker]

Sure! Everyone who comes will LOVE it!

[Scarlett_Darkhall]

Wow, this sounds so great!!

[Rachel_Blackruin]

I am going to try and come to the meeting, I would LOVE to help the beginners on some hard quests!
