That obviously, and more things to do when Im bored. Usually when the server is busy I plant printers and run around the map. Unless Im afk of course.

What more can you do with more afk players? nothing really other than sitting in front of them and staring at them. As skittle stated above its only for your plants

Debatable. A server with enough people, even if they're afk, gives off a valuable first impression to new players that first connect and have no idea what's going on. If they connect and only ₅ people are on, they're more likely to instantly disconnect because the server is empty.

If new players connect and see that there's about ₁₅+ people on the server, even if most of them are afk, chances are that they become more interested and begin asking questions on how to play. I have seen this happen many, many times and all it takes is ONE active player on the server to begin answering questions and providing tutorials to the new players.

A simple explanation as to why everyone is afk is enough to intrigue their interests, as they begin to believe that the server is incredibly active during the day when everyone is finally awake. Usually what happens at this time, is that they spend a little more time on the server checking things out and then say they'll come back later to check it out again, maybe when it's more active.

Rather than trying to question ti's motives for this post, the members of this community can help moonshade's popularity progress by taking the time to explain how the gameplay works to the many new players that connect daily. I've seen many of the current players on the map not bother taking the time to help out new players and then get frustrated when the server is dead.

I've only seen a handful of moonshine's current active players go out of their way to help out new players. The most helpful player i've seen on the server is Matt Damon, as he unselfishly takes the time to explain every aspect of roleplay and even provides safe housing for these new players. The only other players i've seen help out multiple new players, other than myself, are probably Morty, Earth, and occasionally Myback. This is a major problem that has to be addressed because a lot of new players quit after being excessively rdm'ed by every other player on the server.

If we're really interested in the growth of this server, every player holds the same responsibilities and should take the time to try and teach new players every single time you see them connecting, rather than rdm them until they get frustrated and leave forever... NO ONE LIKES AN EMPTY SERVER

I still think we need a tutorial coded in.

We should have more severe punishments for killing a new player.

UnderWater gets it, couldn't have explained it better myself

They're already pretty harsh

well no
the new players come to rdm
they need to learn without anyone saying that its wrongo

Damage and attack immunity for new players?
90% of the time, new players just run around killing people. Maybe if they were restricted from attacking they would take the time to learn how to play the server?
Kind of like a "safe period" where you can build up your money, etc.
However, there would be no way to defend yourself if someone was raiding you...
IDK THIS IS HARD

I dont think its that we need a tutorial coded in, u know that thing where before you join the game your press go? They should have a YT tutorial embeded in the thing. Also I think we need a updated tutorial for RP, our current one is outdated, and pretty bad...
Im down to make a new tutorial if I can?

Simply put:

We need more people to AFK on the server. Remember, you get rewarded for AFKing. You can easily configure your game to not be an overhaul on your computer, with the correct settings.

Administrators need to assist newer players. Regular players need to be doing this as well. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".?
