random birth/respawn places on planitia

Post by Pitchoun »

newcomers are given a birth place at random.
the problem is that when they 'appear' on the islands, they have no way to cross water to get to the schools.
when an Op is online, it can be fixed in no time, but Ops are getting rare these days.
So the bottomline is that many (10+ in a few days) newcomers come, see that they are stuck, go and never come back (when Planitia needs soooo badly new active blood).

Is there any way to make all new players be born in startersville?

*suggests getting an op Activity scedule that Ops MUST avide by or lose their powers*
basically have a list of hours that an Op must be online for at a sertin day at a sertin hour and so on
example (names chosen at random as well as time zones)
Mit 12:00PM-3:00PM
Zaroba 3:01PM-5:00Pm
ect

Just an example theres this other game i used to play forgot the name but they have a scedule where the admins and mods clock in basically and stayonline checking things for a sertin time and when their times is up they can jsut stay and play or leave and do something else
(i know the suggestion sounds kinda demanding but i cut out alot of redundent text to make it shorter)
I just realised that time zones would cause confuion so this might not work as well as i thought
