Thank you for letting me have my opinion, too.
The civilized way would give me time to apologize, saying it was not my intention to offend you. It's what I do now.

In light of a few random events in game, I thought it might be a good time to bump this thread

I have been thinking exactly the same.

I'm extremely choked with work and IRL commitments and a serious lumbago issue at the moment, so I have no time. GreeK is the only one actively coding at the moment. I hope to get some more time for Cantr soon though, but no promises.

I've started work on this task a few weeks ago, but it's very complicated.
I hope to finish it in a few months.

Thanks! I can't wait to help new players get into the game. Is it going to be implemented as a small, very distant island, an unconnected portion of an existing continent, or an entirely different world map?

A completely different game server, located on a separate subdomain like
http://something.cantr.netOut of two complicated solutions, it's the easier one.
Glad you are willing to help

When is this coming out/being implemented?
Also, players should be given the option to spawn a character there who can help out.

Addicted wrote:I've been meditating on this idea and put some thoughts up for discussion. I've played many games with all sorts of training and tutorials etc. One recent one had a training area and I learned a bit there before playing. It was very useful for the mechanics and user interface, but I also learned the game culture and etiquette.
*An advantage is the many who find it's not for them won't disrupt the game. (Sleeper newspawn reduction)
* It's easier to learn and make mistakes - less intimidating. Although that does add to the experience. (Being dragged to jail for playing with the machines or pretending to sing Michael Jackson was fun wasn't it?)
* It's not as intense or drama based as the real game and some might leave before they get a real cantr experience. (yes I know this varies with where you spawn and when)
* Make it optional and recommended? Many will opt to do it if it's explained in an introductory spiel.
* Make it clear if this character is temporary and for practicing with that they need to start again in game. Then they will limit the investment to this character and use it to explore and test boundaries.
* Perhaps allow the player to decide when they are ready to play for real?
* Have trained and experienced players as teachers and let them feel free to collaborate to improve the first experience, obviously within guidelines etc.
* Have limited towns and shorter travel times etc. Have limited functions if it helps.
* A transferred character will never work IMO. The new town will be unlike the old and the other characters too.
* Don't use this as a screening tool, screening is in place already and I can't see how this will be advantageous to that process. Surely banned players and idiots, although a headache and worse to staff, are not so numerous?
I've finally spent some time to read the whole thread again.
I think this post is the best summary and it's the closest to the model that will be implemented.
