There is spawn point near Hub, where some of new characters spawn. They will try to go to Hub, because they know nothing about the game, but according to manual, you can enter only from level 5 (or using RP story). How do you want to deal with this fact?
They will be informed that town doesn't let in characters will level lower than 5, givena web link to a page with short information prepared for them and teleported outside town.They can always make an RP char with description and get in.The project is not supposed to be a nursery for new players.Although... I must still think about it.
taking a guarded town and useing it for a rp and taking it away from newbies is over kill. do you guys really think this lvl 5 thing will stop trolls? it wont at all. any player can get lvl 5 in under 20 min. so what if you ban the troll alt. what's that going to do? nothing at all ,so what if you ban 1 alt there is 500000 more on there way. also jov wont be there all the time so when she is offline it will be troll heaven. you can try and have a non troll rp and it might work now with the low numbers but if you want this to be a big rp when and if server numbers come up you will be looking at alot of trolls coming. you also need trolls and pvpers for a project to work, without them its just boring, its just alot of nerds afking and /e. so i suggest add player guards and remove the hub reinforcement script. let pvper come so you can have some "raiders" to fight from time to time. maybe a couple times a day there could be a time were pvpers could come and fight the rpers and guards. this way it wont be random and those that don't want to fight don't need too. they can just leave for the time being and come back after the "raid" time is over.
This project is not supposed to be 100% safe town for people hunting radscorpions.Roleplay does not mean safe. If this is your expectation, then you will not be satisfied.All newbies will be allowed, all they have to do is to make a good roleplay characterand write nice background story and they will get a reward of 10 000 xp points thatwill give them access to the town. I think it's reasonable alternative for hauling boxes,shoveling shit and begging some HUB-T4XI for 10mm pistol.
My rp char will kill you without ever being seen, the hub protects its own.
I think Hub is a bad choice for an RP project because when the server has players its used a lot as a meeting place for groups and for Pkers doing TB traps and such in south towns.
Well as a member of Section 8 (mostly a TB gang when i started) for about 3 years i have used this place to meet up and also patroled it to kill players. That being said it seems like a bad choice. If the server gets more players and its worth it i'm sure this town will be a central area for pkers who play turn based again.
