Staff

ReBorn_Spirit · #1 03-01-2007, 07:21 PM

Hey were did all the staff go??

- FAQ : There is nobody to ask questions to
- Devgroup : Still bugs are not being fixed
- GKManager : Where is he when you need him
- GP : Yann was the last active GP and he quit
- EM : Ravenblade is getting flooded with things to do, can't keep up

I say we get their pictures on milk cartons and find them.

Well, true. Bjorn is never on when you need him. And yes, Yann was the only Active GP. I agree they need more GP's and possiby more EM's but lots of people will argue against that.
And the bugs.. don't get me started. I could throw down a list of atleast 10 bugs right now.

hmm FAQ...i get asked questions. I tried to start up a guild called Ravens Wing but got rid of it after Tig went after ppl in my guild. Basically we were to help ppl with the knowledge we have.

Devgroup..i think someone said it best "they are players and don't get paid to do the work" but still they need to fix bugs.

GKManager: Bjorn...who knows..probably busy testing somethings.

GP: Paul!o is the last active one and he's on hiatus. I am the closest thing these ppl got.

EM's: I am not the only one. There is Proto and Kyden but they host at a different time of day.

I told ONE person in the guild it sounds stupid... I didn't go after anyone. You just completely overreacted, as usual. Learn how to grow up.

Why do you keep doing this Tig. Stop coming after me. You talk of growing up. Your the one who needs it. I am at least not sniping you every chance I get or changing your rank on Dustari for a "joke". Grow up dude.

Now back to the topic at hand.

Again, I'm not coming after you...... we're on computers??? You're trying to make me look bad, I haven't done anything wrong to you but point out a few of your faults, for example you're telling me to grow up but you write Your the one who needs it. ... your should be you're.

How many threads must be created about the state of GK and it's staff? Obviously whatever you're doing it's not working, why don't you try something else, like something a little more private. Maybe a forum PM or support ticket. Now, you'll say to me, "If I do that nothing will get done," well do you see anything getting done by making several threads flaming staff and telling everyone who knows and plays GK that it sucks?

WE KNOW

We all know GK isn't at it's best state. I'm sure the staff know too because of the fifty million threads you guys have made.

I think the idea for a FAQ team is great. I can also see this happeneing:
People who are inexperienced, new to the game and suck up to the current staff team getting the jobs (Sounds like a few people I know who became GP/EM). I think if you are on the GK FAQ team you should have started playing Graal between 1998(or before)-2003, because GK, as a gold server, represents a more professional aspect of graal, and these GP's and FAQs need to know about Graal and GK, not just where the con potion is in the dungeons.

About there not being any staff:
I kind of like this idea, besides the fact that Stephen isn't GP anymore.

Stephen is a trustworthy GP and was removed for reasons beyond my knowledge.
We do need a GP at hand, but we seem to be doing fine.

Ravenblade you said:
"i am the closest thing to a gp"
No, you're a vigilante. You want everyone to think you're a GP because you know how to do : pillory add accountname minutes
You're not a GP, and if you were GP I wouldn't feel safe on GK, and I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same way. You are very immature and unstable, you could easily do something very rash just by a simple irritation.

You want to be involved in helping players on GK, yet I've seen you tell players to "F" off, on player. Hmm... brings to thought, do players really want to come to you for help?

Perhaps GK is slow acquiring staff because of all the mess GK has been through in the past with corrupt staff (i.e Lance) giving items to their friends (i.e. Nappa). They can't find anyone trustworthy because they don't forgive for mistakes and they have a hard time trusting anyone, and why should they trust anyone? Most of you barely know what you're doing (kingdom LATs).

You mentioned lance giving out free items, but you forgot to mention one thing. lance gave too the poor, and the higher level players hated him for it. Jagen is the one who gave most of the items to the rich, illegal items at that. Lance never made any illegal items that i know of. jagen just went way too far.

thats why when craig was around he would win all the spars.. who do you think he borrowed items off of for spar tourney's? ZOE!!!

hampy · #11 03-01-2007, 07:31 PM

I agree, something does need to be done about the inactivity of staff. But when questioned they always respond with something along the lines of "im busy doing something else, I dont have to log on every day"

Ravenblade1979 · #12 03-01-2007, 07:33 PM

lol sounds like Bjorn.

Well seeing as he is the only staff who can really do anything to change GK

I am not putting Sam down, I really like Sam imo he does a really good job

Ravenblade1979 · #14 03-01-2007, 07:41 PM

Yeah Sam does what he can. Right now though he's still on vacation..he's back on the 4th.

Yea, he always helps me with anything that I need, people do say bad stuff about him but they really have no idea what they're talking about!

Anyhow, the idea about FAQ, perhaps some FAQs could be hired for GK? They would have to be old, old players who have played for atleast a few years. But really I think this would help a lot and bring more players back who in the past didn't know what to do

Ravenblade1979 · #16 03-01-2007, 07:45 PM

First Bjorn would have to say yes then Stefan would. Its hard to get Bjorn to say yes to anything.

wrong, when i was in forest dev, we asked stefan for stuff, he would say yes get stuff from bjorn.

We would talk to bjorn... he would say, thats the stupidest idea. no.

and we tell him stefan said yes and he just ignores us.

so we have to bug stefan until he gives it to us?

hampy · #20 03-01-2007, 07:48 PM

Obviously FAQs wouldn't have any special rights, no RC, no warp powers just the tag. I know that a lot of GK players would be power hungry and only want to be FAQ because of bonuses they get, however these FAQs would get nothing so only the real dedicated ones would apply. this means we will get better helpers

Ravenblade1979 · #21 03-01-2007, 07:57 PM

Well I had started a guild to help ppl out but tig started to threaten a few of its members.

Yeah that was pretty harsh of Tig. I mean, people were saying that the guild could be used to trick people into being staff, but that makes no sense.. There here to help and thats all.

JackOd · #23 03-01-2007, 08:01 PM

Ravenblade1979 · #24 03-01-2007, 08:10 PM

Well I had changed the name and put in the credo that we werent' staff. Reason why I named it Ravens Wing.

JackOd · #25 03-01-2007, 08:11 PM

hmm... why not just reward helpfull acts? like give people 250 plat for say teaching a trial to farm

Gothika · #26 03-01-2007, 08:15 PM

I think the Casino idea is good. But Bjorn will probably shoot it down. (So far he's ignored it even after it was pointed out a lot of times by Raven).
I actually Think Stefan will like the casino idea. And if they get the players to make it. They won't have to worry about it.

JackOd · #27 03-01-2007, 08:15 PM

well actualy that would make people get abusive when the person dosn't understand something their trying to say... hmm

Yeah, that's true. The thing about helping is noobs is that they don't want to be helped with infomation. They just want free weapons/armour. And there trials so they can't use them after they log off. Like I mentioned before. There should be a pop up as soon as they log on saying what they can and can't do and possible a link to a guide for the starter quests and a few tips.

FAQ,You can ask every staffmember. But we are planning to hire people for a FAQ team.
Dev, you can not really see them if you don't get on Debug.
GK Manager, just send Stefan a forum pm or submit a support ticket.
GP, none anymore.
EM, actually there.

If you want something from me directly send me some forum pm or an AIM message (At least 8 hours a day on AIM and always on Skype).

You can ask him only, too. But if it's something I can decide it might be faster to ask me.

hampy · #32 03-01-2007, 08:37 PM

Yeah the trial island, thats something which I tried to get back a while ago. It was much better than what the trials have at the moment, it actually gave them more of a feel of what GK actually is. whereas now they can just walk around a small part of bomb before they get warped back

Gothika · #33 03-01-2007, 08:43 PM

The trial island had everything. A mine, a full island to explore. Mosters. Shops, blacksmiths. Everything. You could make weapons/shields aswell.
The Trial island made me go p2p.

hampy · #34 03-01-2007, 08:58 PM

Yep it made me go p2p again also

to be honest I have no idea why it was taken away, i see no benefit

Ravenblade1979 · #35 03-01-2007, 09:04 PM

Well I would love to be on the FAQ team but probably wouldn't be allowed.

Ravenblade1979 · #36 03-01-2007, 09:05 PM

Viva trial island.

ReBorn_Spirit · #37 03-01-2007, 09:08 PM

I would like to see some bugs fixed and maybe atleast one active staff members. Infact, most of what I wanted to ask... I've allready forgotten by time I get to see someone, and I Have debug. This is even worse if you don't have debug access.

Here.. go fix something

Yes GK needs more active staff the other day Isplash was on the top of a trade table AFK all day and when he came from AFK he went into MMT back room and stole all the chests so we really need some more GP's

so you can't go into rc and download all the gmap files for cp? you should have the rights to do this. if not alan can download them and send them to you. he should have all the rights to cp.

after you open a gmap file in your editor, do you know how to get the gmap to appear?
there are a few scripts needed.
