  1. Hi I'm sparklySheep, was playing when Doomberg asked for opinions and since I have like 2-3 years worth of experience as a min I think I can help. I'm gonna keep it brief since I hate making text walls: 1. Be very patient with new players, don't ban them for stuff they generally wouldn't know about. Being an admin is a lot like being a parent. You need to be stern and understanding. Place yourselves in their shoes, ask them what sort of play style they want, look for what they want out of the game. Not everyone is going to be a good fit for the server, least you could do is direct them somewhere they would have more fun. 2. Keep any sort of Looc hostility to a bare minimum. 3. Be sure the staff takes the time to help new players but don't smother them. Nothing is weirder than having someone smother you with a block of welcome text. If they are looking to play the game and are new, I recommend spawning them a pAI and getting someone to play with them and help them out. Having someone talk you through the game that isn't doing it through PM's is a lot less stressful. 4. Break up cliques. Encourage people to play new characters regularly. Nothing is worse than having that same five person group shove around a player due to all knowing each other. I usually bounce around as a new character every 1-2 weeks and try to talk to new folks. Getting a new character prospective allows you to interact with people you usually don't. As well, it's always fun to be someone else than to play the same character that's been flanderized to a pulp.
