Mentor System - How is it on your server?

[loreleidiangelo]

Signed up for mentor status, but have thus far been unable to even get into the channel.

Same, minus a brief period REALLY late last night, right before I went to bed.

Seems like a massive amount of people in the channel just log out with their game still on.

Just an elitist jerk, just ignore "it"

Most people dont give a damn about helping new players, they just show off that crown icon, makes them feel better i think?

It actually could be possible to report Mentors for not really being Mentors. It only makes sense anyway.

Making the requirements higher won't change anything. You'll still have a ton of people cluttering the channel.

Making requirements higher lowers the amount of people available to clutter the channel... Its not necessarily about channel clutter though, its about the amount of people who are in the channel who are not even currently playing.

I think it was an odd decision to make it so that Mentors cannot leave without being kicked or logging off. I know a few people are in the channel but just hide the text.... so what's the point of being in there?

It took me a while before I could actually get into the novice channel (Gilgamesh server) but once there, it was quite cordial. Well, to be specific, it was dead quiet most of the time - but when a novice DID ask a question, the channel pretty much exploded with responses, pretty much all helpful and none negative or snarky.

The ratio was 100 mentors to 17 novices.

I don't know how it is because even when I signed up (shortly after server went up yesterday), the channel was maxed with 512 people. So on Balmung, the number is too low-add a zero and you got maybe sufficient space for mentors and newbies

Maybe make it so you have to actively turn Mentor status on when you log in--I noticed when I signed back on after maintenance I was still in Mentor status.

I am going to guess someone went wild and invited every green leaf they saw. We only have like 20-30 on at a time on Leviathan on weekdays, it seems. Depends highly on the servers but most don't have that many sprouty New Adventurers on at once. I guess it's more of a thing on Balmung than anywhere.. and Mateus apparently.

My exact problem.

It's more that there's a 100 limit on Mentors, regardless of the number of greenleaves on. The 100 limit is filling up fast, with less than 100 newbies in the channel at most times.

On Balmung, I can't even see how there would be 412 newbies online with the almost constant character creation restrictions.
