Academy

JinxedHatesYou:
Greetings.

I am here to suggest the idea of Academy for novice players.

As I mentioned in this thread - https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,4841.0.html, it is a common that some clans in MMO's establish a branch for sole purpose of educating and training the recruits before they have a chance to get a transfer in main branch.

However, instead of suggesting our clans to do it, I have something else in mind.
Taking in account our current situation with peak players, I suggest to implent one and sole Academy, instead of straining the efforts between current clans.

The purpose of Academy is to recruit new players interested in learning the game, while not bounding them to Academy by obligations or additional rules.
Therefore, a player will be able to receive a training while being at liberty to choose the clan he wants to join in the future.

What will be required:
1) At least 4 instructors for the first time
2) Developing educational programmes (to prevent instructors from repeating each other and ensure that all aspects of the game are covered in the course of training)
3) Developing qualification test
4) Assistance of community and developers.

It is as simple as this at current point.
I would gladly participate in founding the Academy, but it is very far away from one-man's job.
Community Members and Ambassadors, my vision is that Academy will improve the Community as whole as well as enhance the experience for both veteran players and novices, while making a job of Community Ambassadors a little bit easer.
I hope to see the days when words "Academy Graduate" and "Academy Instructor" will be said with pride, but to achieve it I will require your help.

For the purpose of making the better game - unite!


Currently, it is just a plotting stage.
While in my vision it sounds like a perfect idea, it may be seen not so perfect by some players.
Do not hesitate and speak up about your suspicions, there is no such thing as lack of critique.

If we, the Community, decide that this will work - we may proceed further and search for future Instructors.

Teaching new players that want to learn more about the game is a great idea. We have had groups like this in the past but they have all died out. Perhaps the teachers got burned out or perhaps there was not enough interest. Ether way, with a little organization and help from our friends I'm sure we can start up another group.

Well if you ever get this going let me know Id be glad to instruct.

how would you set it up though to nab new players? Would it be a clan that just sends out invites to all lvl1's or something?

I think the main problem was actually the lack of new players with a desire to learn through this format.

SirNotlag:
how bout teaching by doing if you get enough people you can fill a custom match with all student ships with an instructor on every ship. couple minutes to teach all the basics then type in all chat "Ready", then its just a regular match with mostly new players so they can see all the game mechanics in action.

Do this acouple times with multiple ships and the new guys should be good to go.
