new playerworld staff

[Exhausted]

i think there should be new divisions of playerworld staff

like instead of bell tig and tsadmin inspecting servers there should be "Server Inspectors" to inspect servers.

and looking at the support center the PWA has a lot to cover so there should be a team of people to deal with bans/jails. these guys could be GP Chiefs from Graal that are experienced with jails and banning people. the team could be

*Sting2Dope (from UN)
Infamous (from N-Pulse)
and
Squirt (from Era)

there should also be a team of guild admins as well. they could be experienced guild leaders like
warhawk (from BTK)
dante (from Cherry)

so basically new teams would be
- server inspectors
- guys that deal with jails and bans
- guild admins

[fowlplay4]

If they are really in need of help they'll hire more PWA.

i was going to write a detailed multi-paragraph response, but my words can be summed up with three words: no, hell no.

Tigs doing a damn fine job of it.

You realize you want to replace the PWA team entirely right? They inspect the server deal with bans, and now that tig is guild admin they work with guilds also.

This is a horrible idea, The PWA team we have now is perfect and I can say there is probably no one else on graal that I would like to have it. Most of them know how to do there job perfect. Most of the people you named wouldn't. Squirt is good at player relations but he's not one to go over a server inspection, You do realize what a server inspection involves do you not?

[DuBsTeRmAn]

This would never work out.

[James]

this was already done a long time ago when we had a huge playercount and it was a flop. keeping the power within 3-4 people is easier to manage and makes communication easier. stolen content will always be a part of graal.

This.
Graal doesn't have the playercount so separate the PWA jobs into 2 jobs and even then it's still a stupid idea.

[pig132]

hahahaha

[cbk1994]

good one

[Thanatoses]

I think he was joking, or atleast I hope.

[kia345]

You mean replace the impartial and competent staff with biased incompetents? Why?

[SymphoniaPrince]

Flamed..

[Pelikano]

this idea sucks

[cyan3]

In my opinion this idea won't work and would make communication betwean the staff difficult and confusing.

[Switch]

No.
From what people are saying and what I've been told, PWA is doing a fine job as it is currently.
This is just a bad idea and will ruin a good thing (and there isn't many) on Graal.

[cyan3]

Graal doesn't need more staff and if they did need more than they'll hire some.

[Geno]

Better Idea:

Fire all PWA team members and make me (Geno) the sole PW Admin.
now that would get some stuff done.

[TSAdmin]

Managing the 3 divisions you outlined as a whole single division isn't actually that difficult. Especially not to the point where we:

A) Would need more help
or
B) Would need to separate them into said divisions

Not sure what you mean by "Looking at the support centre", but if you mean that you have seen screenshots of our ticket lists in the past, that's just a number. As individual tickets, they are marginally easier to handle on a case-by-case basis. Some even really only require a single reply of "Your servers name has been changed" followed by selecting "Resolved", then that ticket disappears from the list.

As mentioned a few times- if we're feeling like we're struggling, Bell will issue a hiring thread after discussing it with Stefan and unixmad. Essentially it's about trust as well. Stefan and unixmad aren't easy to sway on the trust, just ask any one of the 3 PWA. Hiring people into divisions and increasing the Global Administrators number 3 times over dramatically increases the risk of rogue administrators doing whatever they want to do for whatever reason they do it.

I'm sure your concern is appreciated, but rest assured. We're not about to crumble under any pressures just because we're not divided into sections.

[SwimChao]

Can't really one up TSA here, so I'll just agree with the majority and say this probably wouldn't be a successful idea.

LOL, oh man.

I would like to know what the hell happened to the GST Admin and the Global Guild Admin?

I believe the GST and Global Guild Admin were merged with the PWA.

Skyld wasn't residing over anyone in GST any more so he merged to the PWA, Ibonic quit and so Tig took over responsibilities and has been doing an alright job at it.

Half true. Both Skyld and Ibonic are no longer working for the Graal Global Team(s). GST has essentially been liquidated, which (yes) happened mainly when Skyld had no one to preside over, and was then moved in as part of the PWA, which with Skyld's departure keeps the scripting inspections within the PWA duties as assigned.

That said, both Tig and I are handling scripting inspections in our PWA duties when servers request Hosted or Classic inspections, or if we're required to investigate claims regarding the scripts on a server.

The rest is completely correct: With Ibonic's departure, Tig has taken up the roll of Global Guilds Administrator. On the same token, Bell has taken on Ibonic's other roll of Accounts Admin. This is all also outlined in the Global Contacts link found in my signature, or by simply navigating to the relevant forum where you'll find the thread.

Skyld merged into the PWA because when Ibonic quit, the PWA needed the help clearing out all the support tickets and managing playerworld issues. I kept on my responsibilities as a GST at the same time so as to make sure the whole thing didn't fall to hell, until I quit, at which point I gave the responsibility over the GST team to Tig. It just so happens that he chose to dissolve it and move it completely into the PWA.

Why are you talking in third person skittles?

[Geno]

this thread is pointless. this wont happen all Global crap is decided by the guys that run this game. not the players. so even if your idea was good (which it is not) voicing your opinion on the matter would prob. not count for anything, unless you are extra special.

[Exhausted]

Uh, my points are well thought out and would help the game, thx.

oh you are so right. dividing a job that does not need to be divided and naming your friends as the people that should have the positions would really help the game fersher!

I don't think it's a good idea.

Wherever you got the idea that I "helped BlobZ destroy N-Pulse" is just absurd.

1) Criticism is different than insulting opinions, and much different than jealousy.
2) Your idea truly sucks.

Okay seriously I hate BlobZ and I'm not going to listen to someone who helps BlobZ destroy great servers like N-Pulse.

lol@infamous by the way. No doubt he'd but good for the job, but only if he even enjoyed graal the slightest bit anymore. xd

I thought people would have realized this was a joke thread whenever I said Infamous would be good for anything.

I did no such thing, thank you very much.

Not funny?

Without your help, BlobZ couldn't have done anything to the server so you were obviously involved in some form of a conspiracy with BlobZ.

I don't even think BlobZ plays N-Pulse enough to have enough information on an N-Pulse player to hack into someone's email, so clearly you gave him IL's information.

If it was a joke thread why did you defend yourself
