Adding 'welcome.....'

[DeeKay]

I support this idea. You'll be surprised as to what it takes to keep a new player around. A simple welcome from the server and it's players can make someone fit in right away.

This was suggested before and it got a lot of support but it was never added and I'm not sure why because this would be such a nice thing to have.

To add onto this, until the welcome is actually added it would be helpful if players could learn to type /list often and try and see if any new guests have joined and welcome them.

If/when we get console access, i'll add this.

 I'm going to.tell you what Loafy told me, it's better to let them introduce them thierselves. One issue with that is they do it in local too much and they quit the server because of no attention. I.know it is their fault for not reading the rule book, but maybe put the player in global chat when they first join, or give them a notification telling them about the chat types.

Not really what I said. I was saying its better to have the community welcome the player, rather than an auto command. But, if this could be rigged to only welcome someone on their first visit, then it would be much more beneficiary.

It should only say welcome on their first visit  so people notice, people either grief or leave now days tbh I think this should be added ^_^

I think it should also automatically set there chat to global

I agree that there should be a welcome message, but automatically setting their chat to global would encourage spam. Perhaps a part of said message would be along the lines of "welcome to Opticraft, type /ch g to talk" Most people who want to spam won't read this, therefore it would be neutralised but it would eliminate confusion for sooooo many people that ask how to talk

Sorry for the necropost but...

I have, as of today, unrelated to this topic, given Tobs & Nick console access, which in time would at the very least empower them to make changes to improve things, however as Nick said, this is not necessarily why they became admins, so don't expect it of them.

this should happen (sorry to bring this back up)

[daniblue182]

Indeed it should ^_^

Yes the admins have access to the console now, but they don't know how to use it since it's not written like a normal console.
