Hello
@WildKoekje and others that have contributed!
Thank you for submitting a suggestion about our FYE world, and to those who contributed further to the discussion. We recognise that many older players who go to meet new players are confused because they are in different worlds (being the main and FYE). We currently believe this is the main issue, and that new players being in the FYE world and confused alone is, while still happening, much less common.
To aim to fix the issue of players not meeting up we have added a new Jeremiah NPC to the main world GH that allows for easy transfer of older players to the FYE world. This will be live in the next few weeks! However, we also recommend that everyone uses the class schedule from their common room for an easy way to get to the FYE world! We will be monitoring how many questions we receive about the FYE world once this is live, and if need be we will make adjustments to the FYE world itself.
Unfortunately, if we removed the FYE world entirely from the main world (making them appear separately in tab) this would be another server we would have running, which would likely cause much more strain and lag on the server. We hope that older players being able to move through the worlds while the FYE players don't get too interrupted helps them to adjust to our mechanics while still seeing an active chat + some people to interact with.
We will not be removing the world completely at this time, as we cannot have all the tech and adjustments to the castle on the main world. Currently we have many barriers and modified builds of the castle for FYE, to avoid players getting lost.
I want to reiterate that this may not be our only change, but we are monitoring the amount of confusion and will continue to try simple solutions to lower this. Thank you all for making suggestions, and we love to see them from you all as always!
