I realise this will seem a bit heartless to many of you especially staff but i kind of want this thread to be a bit controversial and spark some sort of a debate but anyways because i want to see what people think .
I have noticed that a lot of guests have been online lately and i dont know if sawine has been advertising the server on different websites and whatnot or maybe people have seen us on the top server site's (wich would be most likely).
At times the server can hold a ratio of 3 guests to 1 member sometimes more and i have only seen this in the past week around.
About 2 weeks ago if i came on after school (5:00pm) there would be a maximum of 30 online. If i went on at 6pm then the numbers would rise to about 45 abouts. Now there could be around 45 even higher at 4:00pm weekdays.
I was also finding it very difficult to connect to the server around last week up to now from these increases in guests numbers and i usually disconnect every 5 minutes abouts but obviously that might just be my internet limitations but it has only been happening since the increase in traffic.
I do like a lot of guests and i am friends with a good few and i am always as helpful and kind to them as possible but there are a few who spam and cause grief but i assure you these dont affect my view on the rest of them. I also realise that these guests are the foundation of the server and i was once a guest and such..
Heres a picture anyways i got today by doing /who and i was fairly shocked.
The reason i made this thread was for you guys to tell me what u think of these ideas to reduce traffic:
- Make a server for guests similar to guest world so they wouldn't interfere with server increased numbers.. obviously just until they are accepted. There could be message boards and guides all over the place to help them get to learn the rules.
- Increase the quality of application forms to be promoted to member.
(yesterday i saw a member start to spam clearly intentionally and he was banned. i have not seen a ban appeal yet)
- Maybe even allow only 20- 25 guests online on the main server at once. This is because no matter how much message boards and stuff you put up an answered question from a person is always better <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>
God bless any of you who read all of this but i just felt i needed to get my opinion out there.
Not all of you will agree with me and that is FULLY understandable as i too have a lot of my friends who are guests.
