Thanks for posting this over here. It's been something I've been discussing for several months now with the creator of the video. So awesome to see it live and driving people over to play!

Yes, give the Professor some upticks! He went above and beyond for us.

A special shoutout to former GM Oscuro who connected the Professor to me to help make this happen.

[Roblar]

Excellent video.

Huge amount of new characters are already in game, Mentors are busy!

[Wyrom]

We're over 300 new accounts created from the traffic!

I set up a discord chat where they can join, and I just answer any questions they have.... but most people have been relatively unresponsive.

Oh sorry, 280 of those are my new mana mules.

Over 300? Maybe I can go back to maxing my lock picking again! Although if they are all new I should be good with 1x. :)

Well passed 400 now. Just hoping we see some retention.

What about returning accounts? Or is that tracked differently?

[Yesnomaybe]

You'd see more retention if you got rid of the default web front end. It's horrible.

Umm...he said mem-more-perjure.

[Neovik1]

Would be nice to have a web interface with Lich integrated.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'll reiterate my characterization of it as embarrassing.

[Whirlin]

I just logged in to the web browser to help support some new players... I'm very surprised there's no stance HUD!

[Androidpk]

Integrating lich into the game officially would be amazeballs.

[Wyrom]

What about returning accounts? Or is that tracked differently?

That's strictly new accounts. Promos not very many yet.


You'd see more retention if you got rid of the default web front end. It's horrible.

Actually, downloading software is one of the biggest deterrents. The WebFE needs some work still, but being able to click and play is very important to people who never played a game like this. I've been getting bits and pieces fixed the last few months.

[Axhinde]

I've tried the WebFE, and every time I click on a link it opens a new tab, logs me out, and attempt to re-log me back in in the new tab.

[Gelston]

Actually, I can totally see that as true, but I think perhaps the website could be a little more clear on the benefits of the downloaded FEs. The Web Based gets people to like it enough to download it, but make sure people know that is an option.

[0zymandius]

That's strictly new accounts. Promos not very many yet.

How long is the promotion slated to run? I've been getting the itch to step back in and look around lately.

[Whirlin]

Yeah, I'm talking with a new player now in the discord server, and the downloading of apps (specifically the SGE required before WFE/Stormfront) is very clunky, and not too straight forward on the website.
Plus... reboot required after installing stormfront? I mean, just comes across as a bit suspicious I'd say!

But, I'm trying to put their mind at ease to do it! Wouldn't be right if I didn't relay the information.

[Mogonis]

Just tell them the front ends existed before malware.

[chalion]

Godspeed Whirlin, you really are doing nerd's work.

[LivderaDeralleur]

Nice to hear there are lots of new players running about! And the video was quite awesome.

I'll have to keep a look out when I log in later tonight for newbies.

And re: improvements to the FEs:
- I just wish StormFront was accessible to a screen reader for the blind. (I know this is on the to-do list somewhere.)

Been a while since I tried the Web FE, though I recall it as pretty clunky for someone with visual impairments and I know I was forced into it when making a brand new character on a brand new account, even though I wanted to log in with my accessible MUD client. Though I had the knowledge to know to log out from that immediatealy and re-login the proper way.

Been debating making a Podcast explaining how to log into the game as a visually impaired player. (I suppose would also have the entertainment factor for the sighted people of listening to the game being played without actually reading/seeing the game.)

[beldannon5]

never mind lol

[Malisai]

Whats the discord?

[velderan]

Whirlin! what's that discord server link? I'll jump back into game tonight after like 8 months of no play.

[Kembal]

Shouldn't need to download/install SGE before downloading/installing Stormfront. I use SF without using the SGE.

[macgyver]

NOOO! You're making me want to come back again! How come we can't get these cool deals for DragonRealms? Is DR not cool enough?

[Enuch]

This would be an epic troll if the professor was actually macguyver

[BLZrizz]

I'm encouraged by this, and I hope this is the start of more aggressive marketing campaigns (viral or otherwise) by simu for GS4. I'm not expecting a super bowl ad, but you should be hitting up D&D message boards, MTG message boards, etc.

My greatest wish for gemstone, even more than padding/weighting merchants, is a land teeming with new players and to have a population of 1000 unique players online on an average night. Oh, to see the catacombs full of life again...

I would love to be able to set "an air of approachability". That is, a simple toggle that new players can scan at a glance to see people who are willing to give help.

you scan the room for friendly faces and see:
Ososis the warrior
Leafiara the cleric
Etc
All seem quite approachable

That's a great idea! Until that gets rolled out in 2020, I guess people could include that in their quote line of their profile or somehow list it using the SERVICE verb? The SERVICE verb could even be updated just to include something like that.

Mister Whirlin, I will put your Discord info into tomorrow's News, Email, and Twitter. Just in case any of the new folks find it.

Link me up, please.

[Wyrom]

I'll see if we can add something to PROFILE and maybe a new verb to scan a room. Won't be a quick turnaround.

[drauz]

I'll see if we can add something to PROFILE and maybe a new verb to scan a room. Won't be a quick turnaround.

Would it be easier to add to the service verb? New category of like "New Player Help". Or an always on amu-net type deal with a different verb like MENTOR instead of THINK, you could make it a little more OOC friendly and flag the channel on or off in FLAG:

New Player:
>mentor How does CM training work to increase your AS?
[MENTOR] XXXX: How does CM training work to increase your AS?

Anyone willing to answer:
>mentor Combat Maneuvers boosts physical attack strength (AS) by +1 for every 2 ranks of training. This bonus does not apply to attack spells which generate AS through the Spell Aiming skill.
[MENTOR] XXXX: Combat Maneuvers boosts physical attack strength (AS) by +1 for every 2 ranks of training. This bonus does not apply to attack spells which generate AS through the Spell Aiming skill.

This would allow new players to not have to go to the mentor's place and ring the bell when they have simple questions and don't want to get tied up for 5-10 minutes to wait for an answer. I like the lich format so I used that but you could make it however you want.

[Wyrom]

DR has a CHATTER verb that is sort of like this. We'll talk about it for sure to see which is the best avenue to take.

[Gelston]

In other MUDS I've played there is an "advice" channel that you can use until a certain level.

Love you forever if you manage to get that 'CHATTER' channel added to GS.

It was the one big thing I noticed that was really good for a new player in DR when I tried their F2P briefly - having an actual in-game OOC way of asking for help. As someone else noted, even basic free DekuMUDs usually have a newbie OOC channel that you have access to for a certain amount of levels.

DR's also got some symbol or pendant thing that new players have that has 3-4 properties to it that each disappear at different level/skill thresholds - auto-heal, encumberance reducer, auto-transport back to town (in case you get lost somewhere - I have seen this happen to new players who have no idea about gold rings and it'd be a good safety net for them) and auto-transport to their Profession guild (probably not needed as much in GS.) Would be nice if those cheesy mirrors that the sprites give you had some of this functionality. And it can't really be abused since the properties wear off once you hit a certain level.

More great stuff we need to bring to GS if we want some retention on these new accounts.

[Gelston]

Really, just need something that makes the world feel alive if you don't have Lich. You can feel pretty damn lonely in the game even when around a bunch of people.

So you should create the n00b guild. The n00b guild consists of a few guild skills that help n00bs unn00bify. Call it the Elanthian Institute or some garbage. The first guild skill being that advice channel that is a toggle on/off, with the default being on. Include a recall skill that works to send them back to the guild if they get lost. The guild has several quests, much like the adventurer's guild, but with the intent of teaching you things about the game. Have it graduate you at level 15 or so, the prenames kinda work cool for it too. You start out a novice, you move up to an apprentice, then to journeyman... Perhaps toss in graduate as a prename at 15.

Perhaps have the sprite quest end at enrollment into the guild.

As for the advice channel, Mentors are "instructors" in the guild and should have the ability to temporarily silence folks on the channel, because there be trolls and I don't feel GMs should have to be burdened with even more crap to watch over. Obviously if there is someone constantly needing to be silenced, the mentor would then report that person and a GM could take more permanent action.

I never expect any of this to get done.. I'm just posting random ideas so I don't forget them.

[Ceyrin]

Yeah, all this feels like it should fall under the Mentor umbrella, and if it doesn't currently then they need more tools to help them achieve it.

[Viekn]

I agree that Simu probably should want to have a bit more quality control over the giving of advice and therefor it makes sense to put these abilities in the hands of Mentors. At the same time though, unless I don't completely understand how the Mentor system works, does someone have access to a Mentor at all times? I don't think so. And for those times, it would be good to have something where new players could ask questions of someone and have a way of identifying who would be a good person to ask. Maybe Simu could institute a type of Mentor apprentice whereby you wouldn't have to meet ALL of the current requirements of being a full Mentor, but Simu has at least made sure you have a certain level of knowledge and aren't a complete troll before being able to indicate that you are someone available to answer questions for new players. And certainly you would want to have the ability to toggle that ability off and on for the times when you know you're focused on a task and aren't really available to help. With somewhat looser requirements, you could have a good deal more people available for that kind of help.

I'm thinking everyone should sorta be allowed to use it, just mentors have a sort of moderation tool over it.

I have to say... the mentors are fucking amazing. They somehow mix a good deal of both in character and out of character interaction incredibly seamlessly. Every one of them that I've met is incredibly knowledgable and very helpful towards the new players. Honestly, even though I'm mentory, they really do take it to a whole new level, and have a hell of a lot more patience than I do.

Mechanically, being a mentor gives you a few perks... If a newb rings the bell at Silverwood, you can teleport there to answer the questions and teleport back. They also have some scripts to restore lost pixies and produce newbie guides. It's not just a matter of a prename flag and go, there's actually quite a bit more to it. It's quite an undertaking!

Having been in the discord channel, and heard people respond to inquiries/questions there... a lot of people either overexplain or under explain mechanics on questions. Answering questions is an art and balancing act, and also realizing why people are asking the questions in the first place.

[dmwcincy]

As a mentor, i honesty love that the community as a whole helps newbies out. We have a fair number of mentors and with a mix of east and west coast with one over in Europe we cover a good number of hours but we are volunteers and can't always be there. That said I know I was on the low end of spending at least 3 or 4 hours last night helping out newbies. We had at least 5 or 6 mentors spread out in all three starter towns so yes it was crazy but a lot of fun to see new faces. I will stress to definitely point them our way as we all have a passion to help BUT help them yourselves too as we are all the same community and we all would love to see 1000 character nights again. For that to happen we all need to welcome them in, get them going, and fostering them getting addicted. I just have to remind people that you need patience and remember some will come from other MUDs, others will be returning, and for some this will be their first time playing a MUD. What we consider something so simple will not come as easy to some of them.

[Delarock]

As a competitive MTG player, the Professor from TCC is very highly regarded. This is pretty good press.

Anyone know his character name? Can't watch vid at work.

Old school flashback, I saw Professor and immediately thought of

Ceranis.

Great video, kudos.

[TheLastRowmi]

Thanks for the praise Whirlin.

And to echo Pup, a lot of these people are grappling with the very basics like movement and learning the SAY verb. A friendly population will go a long way to keeping them interested past the learning curve.

Thanks to everyone for helping in any way. I for one am pretty excited to see some fresh roleplayers get into the thick of it.

I don't like it for only new characters... First, mentors aren't going to always be around, second... when do you cut it off? When are you no longer a n00b? Hell, there are people who have played this game for a two decades that still have questions... And don't even forget the returning characters.

By the way, GS Mentors were SO impressive when I came back. They patiently answered my questions, sometimes over and over again.

No this is serious guys, I'm freaking out. I swore, along with like 99% of the DR forum population, that Armifer was the "guy in charge". The typical tributary flattery followed every one of his comments and he's extremely active (single-handedly created the Necromancer class pretty much). I guess DR doesn't have a on-site PM?

OMG, is Wyrom PM of ALL Simu games? Have I not witnessed his apotheosis to the sublime? I'm NOT worthy!

[Ltlprprincess]

You're wrong. I think.

Okay, well, my thought process is based on the fact that back in the day, Solomon was Simutronics PM and that meant for ALL the games, with APMs for individual games. After he left, there was a short period of time when there were CO-APMs, which was Wyrom and Liia for GS, who knows for DR (couple years ago). Then Wyrom took over as PM, which I'm fairly certain goes back to being in charge of all game instances.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

[Wyrom]

I am not the DR PM. Lyneya is the DR PM. Armifer is an SGM over there.

[Ltlprprincess]

Gotcha. I'm okay with being wrong. I was just going based on how it had been before.

[Wyrom]

Oh you're fine! The difference now is there are no APMs anymore. So all the work of the APM is back to the PM. And each game has a PM instead of an APM.

[Enuch]

Regardless of the setup it still means Wyrom is handling GS which is all that matters to this chunky pock marked adult who MAs

[Gelston]

Gotcha. I'm okay with being wrong. I was just going based on how it had been before.

That was all from Solomon. There was a DR PM prior to him being over both. After the GS PM left, he became HMIC for all of the games and the just never hired a new one for GS until Solomon left.

[macgyver]

Who the heck is Lyneya?

Like for serious, I haven't seen that name post anywhere on the officials. Anyway, interesting development, I'll try to tease out Lyneya to post more.

BTW, congrats Wyrom the GS pop. is almost neck and neck with DR, nice!

[macgyver]

P.S. BTW, SUPER curious on retention of these new new players. I know your business strategy revolves around returnees but if there is even 20% retention on brand new players I think more advertising through various media might be justified. I think a regular pop. in the 700-800's isn't totally out of reality at this point.

How are the numbers now?

Numbers are solid! I know because I often check GS WHO numbers vs. DRs and for the past 6 months or so DR has consistently gotten roughly 100 more on the WHO numbers .. until the whole youtube thing. Now, it's closer to 25~50 depending on the night.

GS is kicking ass right now, like seriously. And oh btw, the minority that said advertising will work, you were right!

No one is talking to you, I'm pretty certain he was asking Wyrom.

When I reactivated the site gave me a list of characters on my account to activate, is there a way to get this list back? I only activated 1 character.

I did that before too. You'll need to call.

Thanks, if I don't remember the names of them all, will they give them to me? I have had issues in the past (long time ago) where they would only activate a character I knew the full name of.

They'll go over the names with you on the phone.

Are you reactivating your entire account? They've never asked me for all the characters' names when I do that, though it is fun to ask them to pronounce some of the weirder names because you've "forgotten" who is on there.

On the website when you reactivate it gives you a list of who you want to reactivate. If you don't check anything, phone caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall. You could probably email too, but on the phone you can ask them things about stuff.

There is a form that you can fill out to reactivate accounts and there is a section that says if you don't remember your security question, please indicate that you don't know it. So I did that for a second account, and I get an email asking for the last 4 digits of a credit card that was on file. I guess I should remember my credit card numbers from 4+ years ago.
