Ok, many people on Opticraft love to help out new people. Some give them stuff, some redirect them to a forest for wood, and other things. I was thinking it would be way easier to help new players if there was a join message when they joined for the first time in global, ex:
Welcome (Username) to Opticraft!
It is your first time joining!
Have a nice stay!
Anything simular to that would be fine. I think it could help identify new players and we could help them more and encourage them to stay. So, what do you think?
-
This is a good idea it will help us all get to know who the new players are.
-
So it'll look like this, with "Opticraft SMP Server" on the end?

Or something like this?

Hmm maybe
-
This was suggested and denied because of the spam...
-
I presume there arent much new players joining...

well you presume wrong.
-
Well there will be more in the holidays
-
I do not think it would generate THAT much spam. It could help us get to know new players and identify them.
-
And it's only once per player, i mean it's not like every minute a new player joins or anything
-
Do you have any idea how much "Welcome!" spam this would generate?

It's not spam when you're making someone feel welcome. =)
-
I realy think thats a good idea! When i used to play on a server called mdu, the welcome from the welcome message and other players who had read the welcome message stayed on and not just logged off. Thats what a setver needs dosn't it? Making the player feel welcome and them staying on

True people like to feel welcome I think it's a good idea
-
I really like the idea and it will make them feel welcome ^_^

To these of you who say this would cause spam:
This message would only be displayed once per new player. If I were joining the server for the first time, then you would see
"Welcome, Chief149 to the Opticraft server! Enjoy your stay!"
After that, the above message will never be displayed ever again for me, but it wend be shown again if a new player comes up. It wouldn't be spam.
-
Give us all a toggle for displaying entering and exiting members, and for welcome notices and this would be great.

That's what I said!

I really think this Idea should be added to opticraft :)

I think they mean everyone saying "Welcome Player!" would cause the spam, not the actual message.

Maybe but the player will feel welcome, and everyone saying ''Welcome Player'' will only be for a few seconds.

Of course, I totally agree. =)

idk how its done but ive seen other servers with something very similar so it is possible at least :)

Exactly!
-
But what will happen if lots of new people come at once :P?
-
Then there would be some spam, but then it would be gone shortly thereafter.

Why not just modify the current "opticalza has joined the game" message for the first join? "opticalza has joined the game for the first time. Welcome to opticraft!"
Seems like this approach solves the spam issue and identifies new players.

Bingo! Optical strikes again!

That's what the suggestion was, and I agree. This is pretty much the best solution.

There's nothing wrong with a little chat spam if everyone is greeting a new player.
It would make him or her feel immediately accepted. It would make the new player feel like everyone wants to play with said player instead of going on their own and leaving that player to be more alone.

Two of us have already said that.

Yeah :P

I agree. I think that's a great idea!
