Opticraft Community

I know i'm treading in dangerous waters, but i've seen many people that have been on for the same amount of time as me, helped no more than me, that are promoted to trusted. I'm sure others are feeling this way as well. I think that there should be a more organized way to acheive Trusted, such as applications. I hope that no one takes this the wrong way, but this is something that's been in the back of my mind ever since i joined.

Thanks Opticrafters.

Helping out the community is only part of what makes you Trusted...The other part is friendly communication...Get to know everyone...Make and comment on forum posts (like this one) and talk to users on Mumble...Mumble is a great way to mix with the community and make great friends...I'm sure if you follow my advice your on the right track...Not that you aren't already! 

Hope I Helped!

Thanks, but even if you help out, how does the senior staff know about you?

And even if i'm on the right track, how long is the ride?

They should notice you on Mumble...Just relax...Be Sociable...Make friends...Stand Out from everyone else and you'll succeed! The timing however entirely depends on the Staff...If you make youself known to everyone on the Server probably a shorter time but that is a difficult aim so just keep on trying and being nice!

Keep up the Good Job!

There is a "rule", Dont ask for Trusted rank.
But, since you are curious, as Bahraindude said, you have to use mumble in order to become known.
This is the place everyone get met.
On the other hand, you cant compare yourself with others. In your life, you have to take in serious consideration only your track. No, what others do.
Tips:
1) Be kind.
2) Respect the rules (/Rules)
3) Help on projects (Firstly, ask for permission though)
4) Become a seller in order to create some commercial relationship with the buyers.
5) Been generous, helps.

When you see members or just guest, give them advices, and help them get adjusted.
I became trusted very quickly, but these are things that I have done, and are common sense for me.
It depends on your priorities.

Hope I helped.

Ps: Dont double post. Its a forum rule.

i have a problem though, (and some others might too.) i can't figure out how to get on to make the friends that others can.

Whoops. Thanks spamarian, if you or anyone else needs help with a project, or even one of your treasure hunts, tell me.
I really like helping people, not only because it improves my chance of becoming trusted, but it gives other people a good
impression of the server. I especially enjoy helping new peple with houses, i give them free lots and help them build.
P.S, how does Mumble work? Is it safe? Do you chat with everyone at once? I'm kind of skeptical about talking with people that i don't know.

Senior staff sees all. Do not be fooled if they choose to let an evil action go, or wait to see how an issue between two players works itself out. They may not act right away. But i am sure they are on top of it. Bide your time. Play the game. Have fun. Be nice to everyone. Help out where you can. I am sure you will get there eventually, but don't stress it to much, just enjoy yourself.

Thanks, spamarian, i tried out mumble and it rocks!

i've thought that the "trusted" system needs to be re-worked entirely for a while now, but I don't really know how to go about doing it.

the system worked fine back when we had 30 players online at peak times. now it's not going to cut it.

feel free to think about it and suggest a change.
