Proposition to add a new rank.
« on: January 05, 2013, 12:02:16 PM »
So, Eggnaug and I we're talking last night, and an interesting topic was brought up, respect.

Some of the newer players may not know this, but back in the early days of the server, to get Goldy meant something. There was  a respect to all the Goldy's, and nowadays that has changed drastically. Not to point fingers, but a lot of the Goldy's nowadays are not even liked among the community, let alone respected players.

My suggestion would be to add a new rank. This rank would be only for those voted to have it, for the helpful, likable, and respected players among the community, so we are able to distinguish them from other players.

Anyways, thanks for reading! Please vote now =]

Edit: One similar suggestion may be to give the User Council members a specific rank.

Edit 2: I do not support the Builder's stick, this post is simply for a rank to separate the respected and helpful players from the rest.

Most of the current Goldies are vT goldies so yes we need a new rank. This rank would have to have minimum requirements for you to be eligible for it.
eg:
  • Certain amount of time played, 25 days or more maybe?
  • Paid your way to Goldy through your own means

25 days seems high, the only players currently with that play time are the Staff, and Lue.

Not sure if that's an insult or a complement. Hopefully a complement.

Don't most paying goldies have 25+ days?

My own thoughts on the matter would be a minimum playtime, and well liked/known from the users and staff. Perhaps you could apply and the staff would vote. The builder rank should have something, perhaps some sort of command or feature that they have access to, to thank them for their dedication to Innectis.

We were considering on giving this rank the builders stick, but we shall see. It needs some sort of feature to entice people to get this rank, maybe the ability to set bold/italic prefixes?

Bold and Italic prefixes should only be for Mods and Admins so Users can easily see they are mods/admins. As if someone has Admin in bold you will more likely be able to see it then it in non bold.



Wait why did you change the topic name to Bring back the Builder Rank. I voted for a new rank but not for Builder to be back.

Liam, the builder rank was last in Otaku, which I don't think you were a part of? No Staff actually uses Bold/Italic prefixes. We have different coloured names for a reason. :P

I was not a part of Otaku but believe me I know quite alot about it thanks to somebody (Nosliw) I know the Builder Rank gave you a stick which allows you breaks blocks instantly.

I payed for Goldy. Although. I think it's the servers population that is bringing the gold's down. Way to many new members are thinking Goldy's are staff but when they're told Goldy's aren't staff they completely forget how much money it costs. How much effort someone has put in to be a higher rank on the server. They do it to get in to the server more, to help it stay online... or some people do it to boast and rise over others(which is horrific).

Some more information on the new builder rank would be nice. Will the Builder rank be higher than Goldy VIP? Will they be voted to be in this rank? What abilities will they have?

Builder Rank isn't about getting new perks. It's more of a respected player thing.
