I don't have the statistics about what new players do, but i think there is an high possibility for the new player to not have any social encounter until it is too late (I mean when he decide to leave the game).
How about giving to the new players the option to join a default alliance (or to begin the game directly in the default alliance)? It would be used like a sort of waiting room, when they can see other players and ask questions, so the bigger players can write the answers when they have the time.
If this is not possible, I was thinking to make one for myself, one that promotes damoria inside and outside the game, and take care of the first steps of the new players.
So give me a sincere opinion about this idea, if it would be practical, what would be the requirements to make such project, etc. Thank you.
This is my alliance concept:
Welcome to Damoria Project (WDP)
Welcome to Damoria Project (WDP) wants to be the first social contact to the new players, which often continue their journey lonely and unaware of the world that surround them (before they abandon all their castles and quit the game completely).
Imagine WDP like a sort of big waiting room, that give the new players the immediate possibility to:
- Communicate with other players.
- Understand the basics of the game.
- Make allies.
- Decide the most suitable alliance.
And much more (I hope!).
Rules of the alliance:
- Be respectful, be friendly.
- Do not attack other players. This is not a war alliance first. This is a transitional alliance, it is neutral, it hosts players that in the future will be in the other alliances. If you want to attack other players, it means that you are ready to play the game on your own or with war alliances.
- You cannot enter if you are attacked by someone.
- In case someone attacks you, the whole alliance is called to do the best to defend the player and respond in the proper manner.
